Phil Longo, who fights Johnny
Donahue Thursday night in an
eight round event at Industrial
hall, Rock Island, has been boxing
only slightly more than two years,
yet he has an enviable record.
Longo, for instance, has knock
out victory over George Melichar Of
Cedar Rapids, who tri-city fans
know is a tough article. Last spring
he also knocked out Johnny Show
ers in three rounds at Iowa City.
Donahue realizes what he is
going up against and is taking his
training seriously. But, Of course,
Johnny always does that. He has
never been known to loaf when
getting into condition for bout.

o lIrrLs TOWN OF srrHLsHEml

20 little town OF Bethlehem.
How still we see thee liel
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light:
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met In thee tonight
For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch OF wondering love.
o morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birthl
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is givenl
SO God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming.
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him
still,
The dear Christ enters in.
20 holy Child of Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter in,
Be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tiding tell;
Oh. come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel"
Bishop Brooks, Boston Clergyman.

90 YEARS SEES BIG ADVANCE
IN IRRIoATING ARID LANDS

Great progress has ben made in the
art of irrigation since the first crude
works built so years ago. according to
the annual report of the bureau of
public roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. In 1920 the
area irrigated in the United States
amounted to approximately 100000
acres and the annual gross returns
from irrigated lands is now nearly
half a billion dollars.
In the task OF converting so large
an extent of arid lands into highly
productive fields and orchards, the
bureau, through its Investigations.
has rendered substantial aid, Meth
ods of applying water to land have
been stuffed in the principal irriga-
tion sections. Investigations have
also been made of the rise oil alkaili

and the capacities of drainage bitches

and the capacities of drainage bitches
and tiles.
The irrigation district, the report
says, mas been rapidly growing in IA
vor as form of organization for re-
claiming arid land or for improving
existing irrigation systems. The bu-
reau has aided a number of western
states in perfecting laws relating to
districts, and last year a careful
study was made of the operation of
the irrigation district law in each of
the states. Much valuable work has
been done by the bureau in finding
the cost of obtaining a water supply
for arid lands. Frequently II is less
than the farmers expense of prepar-
ing his land for irrigation, purchasing
equipment and building the necessary
improvements.

HOME MANAGEMENT PROBLEMS
INTEREST EXTENSION WORKERS

Greater emphasis on household
management as a phase of home eco
nomics teaching was urged during
the course of the conference of the
home economics sections of the Asso-
citation of Land-Grant Colleges held
in Washington. In several states the
work has begun with kitchen i'm
provement, the underlying idea being
to embrace gradually all the many
sides of the subject.
Miss Martha Van Rensselaer,, New
York, said that home economics
teachers would be neglecting an i'm
portant part of their subject If they
did not develop household manage
ment to the fullest extent. The term
household management applies to the
management of everything that per-
tains to the household and the care
of it, including its expenditures and
the Standardization of its equipment,
according to the speaker.
The organization of the household
was considered a proper field for
research in home economics depart
ments of colleges and other institu-
tions, by Ruth Wardall, Of Illinois.
Heretofore, Miss Wardall pointed out,
home economics workers have con
cerned themselves largely with food
in it's many aspects. Clothing, shell
ter and household organization
should receive attention next, as well
as research In cooperation with such
departments of a university as chem
istry, medicine, liberal arts, sociology
and engineering.
Representatives of the United
States Department of Agriculture
home economies and extension work
invited those present from the state
colleges to make suggestions at any
time as to what problems the depart
ment might assist with. The greater
part of the conference was concerned
with home economics problems OF
general administrative nature, the
Improvement of college teaching, and
special problems of extension and re-
search.

BAT BOOSTS

of a misleading half-column artiTe
appearing in many Of the recent pa

an interview with Vernon Bailey,
chief field naturalist of the biological
survey, United States Department of
Agriculture, in which the writer was
given some well-known facts regard
ing the habits of bats, which he might
have read in any of dozen books on
mammals. To make a thrilling story
the writer embellished these facts
with numerous unauthorized state
ments misquoted the information
given, and conveyed the impression
that artificial bat roosts would afford
a remedy for mosquito pests. The
article has not the sanction of the

quently is expressed in the form of Il
New Years resolution. unfortun-
ately, however. that is the first good
intention" permitted to lapse. cbser-
vations by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture have shown.
For the farmer, the diary will pre-
serve a record of farm happenings
and personal experiences which will
be valuable in the future conduct of
his business. II. when he finds his
alfalfa field swarming with grass
hoppers. he can look back in his
diary to n summer 10 years before

him more definite information than

are dozens of farm problems encount-
ed every year that might be solved
to complete. chronological history
of his property.
Such diary entry as that which
follows may not seem of va,ae at the
time it is made. but ii may influence
a business transaction or earn farm
profit when it is reread under differ
ent circumstances:

He maintains the fence as far as the
Mill Brook. and I am to care FOR it
from that point to the shore of the

The diary may be given q promin
ent place in the bookkeeping records
OF the farm business. Generally
speaking there are three purposes to
be served by farm accounts:
% To determine the farm in
vestment, receipts. expenses, end the
net income of the business.
CD To furnish the net returns
frcm any individual farm enterprise
and to supply specific information as
to its details.
CD To obtain memorandum
of what other people owe you and
what you owe them.
Tho blank FERNS necessary for a
simple accounting system can be
worked out by the farmer himself. or
he can apply system recommended
by his county agent. He also can
obtain information direct from the
Office of Farm Management and
Farm Economics, United States De
rartment of Agriculture. The chief
advantage of farm accounting sys-
tom. which is part of tire farm
diary, is in the additional interests
furnished by the personal items. The
diary supplies items of supplement-
ary interest which usually are left
out OF the accounts. without the
diary. tho task of keeping the books
of the farm business becomes dry and
uninteresting.
Only persistency and practice will
make one an adept at writing dairy.
