at which she worked in Chicago. They
are designed for boys and girls be-
tween 8 and IA. The acting time Of
each play is forty-five minutes and
there is an average of about eight res
hearsals to a play. They have been
produced, often under Miss Benton's
direction, in many settlements and
schools in Chicago and elsewhere.
Their success has already given their
author a recognized place in the field
of juvenile dramatics They have all
been acted by children, says Miss Ben
ton, mainly for the joy of pageantry,
but in part to assist in the building of
childrens settlement a House Of
Happiness, where also they have been
performed.
For Miss Benton the plays the
thing! She believes with William
Butler Yeats and others that "the
simpler the setting, in general, the
better" Her sense of artistic values
leads her to feel that the stage trap
pings must be subordinate TO the play
itself Another reason, were there no
other. is that settlement productions
require simplicity of staging and cos
tuning. For indoor scenes" says the
author, "a plain. brown burlap has
been found the best for a peasant set
ting; for kingly scenes have a hand
some curtain at the back, q dais and
throne. For outdoor scenes hang a
deep blue curtain; against this, If de-
sired. place real palm, box or bay
trees, or have the conventional shapes
cut out of wood and printed Noahs
ark green"
1t may be held by some that certain
plays are too tragic. True, many of
them are sad but most of them have
happy ending. Again, does not this
satisfy the aesthetic sense of children
in much the same way as tragic drama
does certain grownups who have been
heard to remark, ut was the best
matinee. ] cried all the way through
it"?
The dialogue too is robust. The lam
guage of peasants and kings alike is
simple and stands out refreshingly. 1t
has not been denatured. A few native
expressions of undiminished strength
have been allowed. The plots are sim
pie. and while they certainly do lie

In the words of one of his char
acters life for Mr.. Eldridge seems to
be "a dream that grows old and crum-

Benjamin De Casseres's Introduction
to the book as a perfect artistic pes

word "pessimist" is likely to be inter
preted variously, according to the
mood. To some people any one is a
pessimist who admits the corruptibil-

ity of the human species. The apt
characterization of a pessimist as one
"who Fletcherizes his quinine" Is too
narrow; rather might not the genuine
pessimist be one who Fletcherizes

sweet, and generally concludes. after

the rest OF life. Mark Twain once
said that the man who became a pes
simist before 40 knew too much, but
that the man who didn't become a
pessimist after 40 didn't know enough.
Concede, then. that Mr. Eldridge is
a pessimist-an intellectual pessimist.
One might surnise as much from his
book. That he is also an artist the

TO make the crops Of 1921 larger

otherwise be even on reduced acreag;
there can be no doubt that the judi
cious use of fertilizers is to be recon
mended.
A great many people are arguing
with particular reference to cotton
that we should not try to increase GU
yield per acre because that would in
crease the total production. Thai i:
like arguing that man should max:
two trips to town., hauling half-loat
at time, when one trip would do tn
job.
We should buy comparatively in car
lots, paying cash if possible, and in
sist on the better grade materials. Pc;
unit the plant foods in the better grad
goods come cheaper. Like the argu
ment against increased yields, there
is not one single sound argument II
favor of low grade fertilizers. Blu!
whatever gives best results on youl

VIE CAN'T AFFORD NOT
TO USE Fertilizer
this Year
Progressive Farmer)

With fertilizer at it's present high
prices, can we afford to use 1t this
year?
This is the uppermost fertilizer ques'
ton in the minds Of the farmers in
the fertilizer-using sections OF the
South. The Progressive Farmer has
gone thoroughly into this question from
every angle, and the deeper we go the
more convinced we are that our farm.
ers can't afford not to use fertilizer
to make their 1921 crops. The per acre
cost will be increased, but the per
bushel or per pound cost will be re.
duced, and it is the bushels and pounds
that we must sell at profit.
This is not time to plunge on fertilizer
in order to get phenomenal yields. or
to experiment with new mixtures. Use
safe amounts of the kinds Of fertilizer
that have given paying results on your
types of SOIL Not only should the
farmers who have heretofore used fer,
tilizer continue the conservative use
OF 1t, but there are FARMERS Ill every
community who have depended solely
on their own efforts and the original
plant foods in poor soil to make their
crops, who should now supplement
these things with added plant food, at
least on a few acres, and get away
from unprofitably low yields. We can.
not afford to farm at loss again this
year, and yields of Is to 20 bushels
of corn or a fourth to third OF
bale of cotton an acre will not pay
for the labor, seed and use OF the land
and leave q profit 1t is essential,
then, that our yields be raised well
above the average, and the only prac,
ticable means of doing this for this
years is with fertilizer wisely used.

Fertilizer Situation
Progressive Farmer,

Progressive Farmer.)
It is an accepted fact that when
the prices Of crops are low, higher
Yields per acre must be striven for.
Fertilizers have been the chief de-
pendence of the Southern farmer for
pushing up yields in the past. This
wear he would, of coure, like to have
fertilizers 80 cheap that he could use
them to the limit. But it seems that
fertilizers will not be sold as cheaply
as they have been in the past.
On the part Of the fertilizer manu-
facturer there Is claim that they
cannot possibly get back to pre-war
prices this year. One reason given
as to why this cannot be done is, that
the industry is carrying very heavy
load of farmers accounts that came
over from 1920. In order to carry
these notes the manufacturers nave
been forced to borrow heavily. Yet,
in. spite Of this, losses have already
occurred on 1920 accounts. In addition
there was considerable material
bought at peak prices last summer
for use in manufacturing mixed fertl-
lizers this year. On this they stand
to lose.
The fertilizer industry is under
writing the farmers Of the South to
the extent of about s150,000,0O0. Had
the fertilizer manufacturers closed in
and collected all the farmers notes
when they fell due it is probable that
there would have been widespread
financial disaster.
Instead of a ruthless policy, toler-
ance has been accorded the farmer.
This policy has burdened the manu-
facturer so heavily that 1t is claimed
that fertilizer prices cannot be re-
duced any further during this sea
