DR.. Seaman A. Knapp. who estab-

instructions TO field agents: Some
farmers have peculiar views about
agriculture. They farm by the moon.
Never try to change this. Let them
believe in farming by the moon or the
stars If only they will try our methods.

CULTIVATION WORTH WHILE
First Work May Be Deep Without
Pruning Roots Of Crop-Destroy
Weeds When Small.

The first cultivation of interdrilled
crops may be deep without pruning
roots of the crop cultivated, but later
civilizations should be more shallow.
Weeds are best destroyed when small
and when soil is dry. Cultivation
saves soil moisture.

"AMERICA is THE COMING LAND OF ART,
SAYS AMERICAN ARTIST LIVING IN FRANCE

To make it clearer, it should be
stated that Gihon made a trip to the
United States in 1917 and held exhi-
bitions at the Braun Galleries. in
New York, and the Corcoran Gallery
in Washington-the latter by invita-
tion of the president and trustees. He
went on to Pittsburgh and was well
received there.
The Carnegie Institute" he said
which has the biggest endowment
and the finest gallery in all America
and makes Pittsburgh the best Ameri-
can art center. away ahead of New
York, or any other city in America
should be an example Of impartiality
and the hrst to encourage it's oWn

Now, last important word:
There are millionaires. over there.
he said. who will take you around in
their automobiles and spend 5000 a
day showing you a good time. and
then they will leave some college pro-
lessor to buy your picture. 1t is not
always the extremely rich who buy
best. There is q constantly increas-
leans, but not enormously wealthy
who buy two or three good pic
lures a year, take a lot of pleasure
in it, and think it over in advance.

continued. impressively Slightly low
er in fortune. there is also a large
and increasing class of cultured
Americans who can pay $3.50 or $500
for a picture. Often they save up or
deprive themselves. Well. they are
getting good investments when they
buy our young Americans. Their
children will sell those canvases for
$1,000 or $2.000-perhaps for $4,000,
perhaps for 100000.
'When?" I asked.
when the big dealers begin to
push them-say. when the painters of
them are snugly deceased
Here he made his notable sugges-
ton:
dealers are all right in their way"
said Gihon. "Just now they are
pushing old masters. But American
painters ought to arrange to be inde-
pendent. American painters and
scu1ptors in Europe and America
ought to combine to hold a great
exhibition every year in all the

Watch Saved Life.

mans mother gave him when he
marched away and which he carried
in the pocket of his blouse and over
his heart. Perhaps there are many
authentic instances of such things
happening. No doubt such things have
happened often. There is. in the Ma
tional Museum. watch case which
bears the bullet mark OF authenticity.
There is no doubt that the watch was
struck by a bullet or some small mis-
sile which struck with great force. II
is duly attested that the watch was
in the watch pocket Of q soldier at
the time it was hit by the bullet, and
it Is a fair and Reasonable deduction
that the bullet would have killed the
soldier II 1t had not been stopped by
the watch. It was q lucky stop-watch
for that soldier.
It fs q silver watch with a dial
about four inches in diameter and the
case is about one inch thick. There is
no doubt that it is a very old-fash-
ioned watch, for now they make
clocks for the wall and the nantel-
piece much smaller than this watch

It was the watch Of Lieut.. Joseph C.

teers in the civil war. and while in
Lieut.. Hussey's pocket was struck by
a '.minie bah during the progress
Of the battle Of Perryville. KY, Oc-
tober 8, 1862. It was struck on the
