A LIVE BUNCH AT THE
AGRICULTURAL MEETING

The agriculture meeting at Newllano
on Friday evening, September %, was
q most interesting one. Comrade Darth
was the first speaker Of the evening,
and spoke in most interesting way
lot the sweet potato planter, planned
by him. and of which he had drawn
a fine illustration on the blackboard.
The proposed Colony mechanics study
club was especially advocated by him.
Every man of an inventive turn Of
mind, he said, should join this club
and, in association. many mechanisms
and contrivances can be devised that
will largely increase the productiveness
and efficiency of our man power. Some
ielght members have already joined the
club and will soon begin their study
and planning. The initiative Of this
lclub, it is expected, will be initiated
i'm every department Of Colony work.
1t is the firm. purpose to reduce all
work to mathematical and technical ex-
actitude and make the Colony's indus
trial system an disqualification in hui
man engineering.
We are living in an age Of science,
land there is no longer any excuse FOR
any work being carried on imperfectly
and neglgently when all the knowledge
for the most effective application of
natural principles and man power is
available.
Comrade Charles Tackett brought
some fine specimens of kudzu and eIe-
lphant grass to the attention of the meet
ling and explained their value as forage
Iplants. The elephant grass especially
lis a heavy producer and as high as l28
tons of hay have been grown to the
Iacre. Kudzu is also very prolific and
shows the large provender our kud-
zu field will provide for the hogs and
milk cows in due time.

KNOWLEDGE is POWER
By Robert Lindsey

- @NSS~AN A=A14ASCN
The greatest factor in earthly af-
fairs. with the one exception Of the
laws of nature. is the human mind Il
contains the power of preservation
whereby it gives to the rising genera
tons the experiences of the past. III
contains the power of dictation where
by it teaches the world to come. It.
contains the power of comprehension
by which 1t can construct new things
and it also contains the power. when
wrongly used. of being the most de-
structive and deteriorating force on
earth. All the beasts Of the iungles,
all the hurricanes Of the plains, and all
the fires of the forest and floods Of the
vallles have not done as much damage
to Mother Earth as Mans idle mind.
Science has lately made the discoy-
cry that on the average only one Sc
venth of the human mind is ever de-
veloped. Think of it-one seventh
Does that mean that the progress of
the world has been built by only one
seventh of the brain power that has
ben put upon its surface for existence ,
No, not exactly, for the real progress
has been made by men and women who
have developed their brain power be-
yond that standard, but it does mean
thar the worlds advancement has been
hindered some five seventies. When
the average person only develops one
seventh of his brain cells and there are
millions more III his class, it does mean
that six sevenths of the billions of brain
cells of the world are dormant, inactive
and thus making millions Of immature
men and women and lastly small
mental world.
Along with this fact, We have the
statement made by the war department
during the last war, that seventy adults
out Of every hundred have the minds of
fourteen year cid child. This also
shows the growth of the average human
mind.
General Pershing, during the war,
stated that only one man out of every
four in the entire American army could
read and write English intelligently.
We are able to see from the above
statements the extremely small percent
of the human brain that is disclosed to
the world. We are able to see why the
thousands permit themselves to be led
and flogged into some INSCRIPTIONS

archs for the purpose of taking from

such slow progress in just plain think
ing.
1t is not the lack of brain cells but
the lack Of developed, active brain cells
that makes the masses so easily con-
trolled and deceived. 1t is the deficien-
cy Of selfpower due to lack of brain
activity that makes millions of adults
minds no stronger than child's. When
the average person has no more active
brain cells than he had when he was
fourteen years old it simply shows a
lack of sufficient mental exercise dur
ing his earlier life. He is now at the
mercy of those older and more .exercis-
ed in brain power. If he is normal
human beingy God gave him enough
brain cells that when fully developed
would be sufficient to make him a
leader for himself, but when he refuses
or neglects to develop his brain he ma
turally becomes weak and must be LED
by the stronger.
The athletic would not think of en-.
tering a contest in running without hav.
ing previous exercise. His muscles be.
come strong and active from constant
exercise.
The lumberman's muscles grow hare

The blind man develops the ear anc

toes. Hence we see that exercise O.
any part of the physical body will make
it strong and active. We all know tha
that part of our body which we use
most is the more alert. Why should thi'
not also apply to the brain?
The brain is divided into numerous
divisions each having its own particu
lar function to perform. Most of u
know from experience that when w
