Today s Slang
LANGUAGE of
Tomorrow

Shall we use slang?
How many a mother has corrected
a child for using slang. How many a
teacher has said, Don't say that; it's
slang"
And yet during the past few months
we have had several well known men
who have come to the defense of slang
Slang, undoubtedly enriches the
language" declares William A. Craigie
professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford
University England. THE ephemeral
part disappears, but the vivid, express
sive part remains in the language and
adds picturesque note. The Oxford
Dictionary is a record of English
terms from the eigth century down to
the present time, emitting only the
words which did not survive the
eleventh century and the new words
which are too trivial or too technical
to be included"
"The slang of today and idioms of
to-day become the correct English of
tomorrow" offers Prof H. Glicksman
of the English department of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. "Our language
is made up of what was once slang,
idioms, colloquilisms and jargon. The
only deplorable part about slang is its
tendency to produce mental slovenli-
ness"
Prof Glicksman then referred to the
word 'mob" as slang OF 200 years
ago and as such denounced in the
Spectator by Addison. 1t is an abbre-
Walton OF the word mobile pep
and "snappy' are vital words
But to gain recognition, slang mus
be free from vulgarity and cheapness,
he added
In discussing English slang, DR..
Clarence Stratton, director of English
in the Cleveland public schools, de
clared that French slang is higher
quality than our English slang. The
French slang is more picturesque and
more suggestive.
Take the case of George Ruth, the
worlds champion home run hitter
for instance" he continued ITO call
him Babe" and then to translate Babe
into 'Bambino'- there is nothing
clever in that. But the man who first
called a left-handed pitcher a south
paw had a real idea. Likewise to say
a pitcher has a glass arm is clever
and descriptive.
HAS anybody handed you a lemonY
the director continued. That's an
ancient piece of slang. Likewise tc
| find yourself in an awful pickle. Prob
| ably both expressions originated be
cause of the sour quality of lemons
and pickles. They are expressive anc
suggestive. The boy who first called
! a girl d peach also had a real idea.
/ DR.. Stratton said he is not an ad
vocate of slang, because a constan
use of it is the resort of the man OF
woman too lazy to seek the proper
words.
Slang is language out of place" an
unsigned article recently published il
one of our magazines reads. ut arises
I, from the same growth that gives III
our best poetry the attempt to find
! highly expressive metaphor
All these articles, however, seem tC
indicate that slang-if properly di
rected-has legitimate place in thu
English language.

She thanked Bennings and the talk
was impersOnal and brief till they

TODD FARMER ROTATES
CROPS BY GOOD SYSTEM.

Lexington, KY. - d. N. Russell, a
Todd county farmer, living in the
southern part of the county, is using
a system Of rotating crops on his farm
that could be used with good results
by many other farmers of the state
according to r. e. Stephenson, soils
specialist OF the College Of Agriculture,
who has Just returned from there.
Chief among the good points Of Mr..
Russell's rotation is the fact that he
has legume, sweet clover, growing
on his land at least half OF the time.
Almost all the. fertility from this clo-
yer goes back to the land either in the
form OF manure produced by the graz
ing animals or In the form OF the crop
remains which are plowed under In
addition. Mr.. Russelps rotation pro-
yides for some growing crop on the
land all the time, thus leaving no bare
fields TO wash and leach. The rotation
includes corn or tobacco followed by
wheat with the sweet clover sown In
the wheat.
rhe sweet clover is pastured on 10
some extent but for the most part n
allowed 10 mature seed. The matured
seed crop IL plowed under for corn
or tobacco and another round OF the
rotation started. After the first seed

SPECIAL AGENT,

no more seedlings are necessary as q
seed crop is plowed under once each
rotation.
Mr.. Russell this last summer had
one field of sweet clover which had
gone one round of the rotation. The
clover had come back from the seed
plowed under and made a dense stand
in spite OF the fact that it was topped
when the wheat was cut and in addi-
ton had been grazed with cattle Next
year, this clover should produce a
large amount of grazing. judging from
the growth made during this last sum-
mer. In addition. enough seed should
be matured to turn under.
The soil on which the rotation is
being used comes from the St. Louis
liestone formation and is rich type
when cared for properly. A light APP
plication OF limestone and acid phos-
phate is all that is needed to give le-
gumes, such as sweet clover a start.
There are thousands of acres OF these
limestone soils in the state that can be
kept in high state of fertility through
the use of a rotation such as Mr. Rus
sells.
