Ancient and Modern Writers.

Robert w. Mershon. in talk at the
New-Century Club yesterday afternoon,
discussed The Origin and Evolution OF
Books" He told of the very ancient
origin of books and the similarity of
thought between the ancients and the
people of the present day. DIR. Mershon
cited the "Precepts of Ptah-H -Hotop,
generally known as the "lrusse Pa
Pyrus." now in the Louvre at Paris.
This book. IL was explained, was writ
ten some time between 1853 and 5000
Il. C. Yet it is similar to Emerson s
Conduct of Life"
The lecturer spoke of the books as
old as $500 Il. c. and during the time or
Nero. The contention by some authori-
ties that our forefather Adam. of the

COMMITTEE PLAN
OF FROSTBURGERS TO STOP
BOOTLEGGING AND GAMBLING

Conditions have become such at
Frostburg, Md, following the almost
open violation Of the law that plans
were formulated at a meeting of
the Ministerial Union for the organ
ization of a secret society of 100
men to inaugurate general clean
up. The members OF the commit
tee will be taken from various
churches. The organization will en-
deaycr to bring to account people
engaged IN illicit liquor traffic and
in the operation of slot machines.
While Frostburg has an ordinance
10 prevent gambling, slot machines
are practically openly operated, IL
is said They are owned largely by
a man in Cumberland who has been
able so far to stop any attempt to
eradicate the evil. He is said to
operate line of limousines, used
for the transportation of the ma
chimes and for the hauling of boot
leg whiskey. This man is said to
have grown wealthy in the past few
years because of his ability to main
tain the slot machines ana to boot

CORN VARIETY TEST
TO Be MADE ON TWO
BERKELEY CO. FARMS
Extension Division Will Make
Experiment For Farmers.

Details of crop variety tests, to be
started in Berkeley county during
the coming year by the West Vir-
ginia Agricultural Experiment sta.
ton, in cooperation with the Der
kelley County Farm Bureau, were
outlined at conference last week
when Prof T. f. Odland. of the Ex-
pertinent Station, conferred with {.
G. Degen. thu local county agent.
For some time it has been felt il
was said today in the eastern pan
handle that it would be very bene.
hcial II the results of local experi-
ments, particularly in the case of va
riety tests, were available to supple.
ment the results secured at the Elk
pertinent Station at MorgantowE
This is because soil and climatic
differences are such as to make crop
variety test results secured at Nor
gantown of only very limited appli-
cations in this section.
The plans. as agreed upon at the
recent conference, call for the va
riety tests of corn in this county
one on the prevailing limestone soils
of the county, the other on the snale
soils of Back Creek valley. The CO.
operation OF some farmers in each
of the section to the extent of al
lowing portion of mis- field to be
used viii be a necessary feature of
the project. Several farmers have
indicated their desire to aid in this
work, but no definite selection of 10.
cation has bean made as yet as it is
felt by those in charge thas several
fields be examined carefully before
a choice is finally made
Plans For Work.
A uniform piece of ground
$50 feet by 1872 feet out of the gem
eral corn field of the cooperating
farmer will be used. This will be
prepared as is the general field until
planting time, when it VIII be livld-
ed into twenty-four plots, each con-
tanning four rows of corn eight rods
(or 1872 feet long. Six varieties
will be tested in comparison. each
variety being planted in four off
ferent plots, to lessen the likelihood
of error.
"A usInlte Sel3CIlOn or the VArle-
ties to he included in the test has
not yet been made, but will III all
likelihood include such standard va
rieties as Reid's Yellow Dent, Team
ming, Boone County White and Lam
caster Sun crop. In addition about
two "local varieties viii be chosen
from corn that has been Welding
well for various farmers OF the
county. Wherever possible the seed
for the standard varieties used will
be secured from local sources, in or.
der that all seed used may be ac-
climated to the conditions prevail
ing here.
The planting and harvesting of the
test plots will be done by agents
of the Experiment Station, while the
remaining operations will be per-
formed by the owner Of the land
along with remainder IF the field.
The results of each years work
will he published locally, and it is
planned that after several years re-
suits have been secured station
bulletin will be published if results
justify it.
