OF all grain feeds usually supplied
TO farm poultry, corn has been. n

ably is due to its abundance n rel
ative cheapness, and because it is the
most relished of all the grains. Corn
is heating and %fattening, and when
fed to fowls as the only feed, fat rath-

ARRANGE PLAN OF ROTATION
As Many Fields Should Be Established

Constant Supply.

In adopting a plan Of rotation as
many fields should be established as
there are years in the rotation, for
this gives a fairly constant supply Of
each crop. When a crop fails a SIM
liar crop should be substituted. as
for example, oats for wheat. soy beans
or cowpeas for clover. There is no
other way to maintain q systematic
rotation.

Higgins, unpopular in New York,
was in peculiar predicament. If he
didn't win the pennant, it was his job.
When he won it, he got no credit.
"Any manager ought to have won
the championship with team like
that" represents the sentiment OF
New York.
With a team chock-full of prima
donnas, Higgins has had the worst
managerial task in the major leagues.

ignore him.

Illiteracy in the
United States

show more than 100000 illiterates in
a group of nine Southern states, one
third of them native whites.
Indications are that the army of IL
literates in the United States will not
fall far short Of 100000 or 10000
There has been progress. however, and
notably in the Southern states. Geor-
gia, for example. has 329,S3S litter
ates, but the percentage of illiteracy
is 1873, as compared with POI In 1910.
South Educating Its People. y
Alabama has reduced its illiteracy
from 22.9 per cent in 1910 to 1911 per
cent in 1920; Louisiana from 90 per
cent to 21.9 per cent; Mississippi from
22.4 per cent to III per cent; South
Carolina from 25.7 per cent to 1871 per
cent, and North Carolina from 1876 per
cent to 1871 per cent.
At this rate, even without the pro-
posed help Of the federal government,
the South should be virtually free
from illiteracy in 30 years. In the
meantime the states that have a large
foreign-born population are faced with
even greater problems than the South.
The New York school authorities last
year had copied from the census lists
the names of adults reported as illit-
crate and have used this list as the
beginning for a systematic drive on
illiteracy.
Country Reducing Figure.
One Of the striking revelations Of
the war was the large amount Of ma
tive white illiteracy. and the 1920 fig
ures tell very much the same story.
While in states like Alabama, Georgia,
Louisiana and South Carolina tho
problem Is still mainly one Of the ne
gro, in Kentucky and Tennessee the
native white illiterates actually out
number the colored.
The 1910 census gave the United
States an illiteracy record Of no
per cent. Indications are that the
1920 figure, unless the immigrant
states Of the East show up too badly,
will run around 5h and 6 per cent
still considerably above the illiteracy
figure for England, France, Germany.
