MAGpIE 4 'FEATHERED FIEND
Writer in New York Evening Pest
Draws Up Strong indictment
Against the Bird.

Although great lover of birds,
never grieve when anyone kills a
maspie, Mrs. Frank j. Hazen writes
from Acushnet, Mont. TO the New
York Evening Post. From a child, l
knew they We're thieves, but l had to
live on a western stock ranch before
realizing they were little demons.
During Il drought in the Northwest
many animals were horribly tortured

made a terrible sore on the poor crea-
ture just above her shoulder. We put
her in the corral to give her extra feed
and wash and treat the sore. To our
aStOnishment the magpies still kept
after her. They seemed to know we
would not dare shoot at them when
they were on the back of the horse for
fear of killing her Time after time
we tried to get them when flying to
and from their dreadful feast, but
their instinct told them. apparently,
when we were armed and when the
gun was out of reach, so they always
managed to escape. At last we were
obliged to keep the horse in the barn
until the sore healed. 1t was the only
way she could get rid of her tormen-
tors.

NOT an EASY OCCUPATION
osep-Ssa Diver May With Much Truth
Be Said Constantly to walk
With Death"

How does deep-sea diver feel
when he puts on his diving suit! Capt.
c. a. w. Monckton tells us in Some
Experiences of a New Guinea Resi-
dent Magistrate" that the feeling IS
by no means pleasant.
The moment the face glass IS
screwed tight, he says, and the air
pump begins to work. the diver feels
that he has a grievance. AS ne de-
ccndS tie feeling becomes more posi-
tive until he is in a fury OF rage
against everyone in general and usual
ly against one person in particular
At the bottom he spends much OF ms
time wondering how soon the dress
car. be taken off so that he can inJure
the person against whom he has the
imaginary grievance However, the
moment the face glass is removed,
and tie diver breathes the ordinary
air. the bad temper leaves him, and
he wonders what caused his anger
The divers greatest danger is that
of being drowned when he IS on his
way 70 the surface. After time. it
seems, the hest of diving dresses be-
comes leaky, and the water that finds
its way through the seams settles
round the feet and the legs; divers
become accustomed to having their
dresses filled with water up to the
knees and even to the thighs. How
ever. when diver who has water in
the bottom OF his suit is being hauled
10 the surface he may ilvoluntarily
or accidentally allow his body t" be-
come horizontal. and if he does 8"
tie water at once ruShes into his
helmet, stands him on his head and
browns him.-Youth's Companion.

Tco Much Money in the Game

The State.
The certain colleges" names not
mentioned, referred to by the Green
vile Citadel club, as practicing or
tolerating improper and dishonorable
methods in obtaining athletics must
know that they were in mind when
the resolutions were passed. Con-
sciences of the guilty colleges are not
clear. The abuse of the "socalled
athletic scholarships and athletic loan
funds" has been commonly discussed,
though no one can prove the charges.
The question is whether or not the
colleges are to be degraded into an
agency for the entertainment of the
populace. So long as the cost of a
football team, directly and indirectly,
of college having an annual educa-
tioral budget of s150,0O0 or $75,-
600, shall be $4,000 or $4,000 a
year, football will not be clean
sport. Commercialism and profes-
sionalism can not be separated. The
small college that has too good a
football team will be under suspicion
of men and women who hold to the
old-fashioned notion that muscle
training is not the principal object
and value of collegiate education. The
spectacle of college being dragged
forever into publicity by its football
team is not elevating even though
rooters by thousands enroll them
selves behind it.

Temperature of Coal Mines

The bureau of mines says that coal
mines are not warmer in winter and
colder in summer. The heat of the
earth increases one degree for every
100 feet Of depth. Coal mines are not
usually very deep and therefore not
affected to any great extent by the
heat Of the earth. The temperature
of the mine depends upon the loca-
ton and the depth.

co-oPERATlvEs TO HOLD BIG
MEETING ON sAPIRo's CALL

President and General Manager j
c. Stone of the Burley Tobacco Grow.
ers' Cooperative Association, has re.
ceived word that on the suggestion of
Senator Arthur Capper. of Kansas,
made to Aaron Sapiro, general coun-
sci for most of the cooperative mar
keting associations in the United
States, a national gathering of farm
ers interested in the cooperative
movement will be held in Washing
ton in the near future. probably fol-
lowing the national conference of
leaders of tobacco co-operatives,
which will be held in Kentucky this
fall.
The proposed convention at Wash
intgon will include Representatives of
all the cooperative associations in
the country-the tobacco growers,
the cotton growers. the California
co-opeartors handling fruits, raisins,
prunes, nuts and other products; the
wheat growers associations; the cot
ton and bean growers; in fact, every
form of cooperative marketing asso-
citation in existence in the United
States will be represented.
Mr.. Sapiro already has written to
outstanding leaders of the various
associations with a view to the for
nation of a committee to have charge
of the details of the convention, in
which leaders of the hurley organiza-
ton undoubtedly will play a promi-
nent part, as representatives of one
Of the most successful of all the as
sociations the first year of its exist
ence.
According to the information reach
ing President Stone, Senator Capper
suggested the ealing of this national
conference of co-operatives for the
purpose OF bringing to the attention
of congress their joint recommends
tions for forthcoming rural credits
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1922-09-28

legislation to provide government aid
for financing the orderly marketing
of the various farm products control
ed by these associations.
Mr.. Sapiro's proposal to have the
conference details in the hands of a
committee of leaders TO cooperative
marketing organizations was said TO
be acceptable to Senator Capper
Senator Capper. according to in
formation reaching President Stone,
has declared that the cooperative
marketing associations, as purely
business organizations of farmers for
the purpose of merchandising farm
products in an orderly manner should
be heard in the matter of proposed
government credits agencies and that
the best way to get the consensus of
opinion of the farmers is in such a
conference.
Senator Capper, who is a promi-
nent member of the so-called farm
bloc" in the senate and a proprietor
of string of successful agricultural
publications, expresses the belief
that the conference will not only re-
suit in a unified viewpoint regarding
credit legislation, but that it will
give the American co-operators an
opportunity to discuss their many
common business problems.

CREEPING BENT BEST GRASS
FOR GOLF COURSE GREENS

With the ancient game OF golf be.
coming more widely played and the
number Of courses increasing rapidly,
the United States Department of Ag.
riculture. in connection with it's gem
eral work on grasses. is giving at
tention to the selection of special
strains of grasses adapted to the re-
quirements Of the links. That this
work may be most effective the de-
partment is cooperating with the I'm
ited States Golf Association, and
several specialists in the bureau Of
plant industry were appointed MEM
bers OF the greens committee of that
association.
A great deal of effort has been vast.
ed in the building up of golf courses
because of a lack of understanding of
the different kinds of grasses and the
methods of establishing a turf. Many
men interested in the game have
been the victims of seed takers and
self-styled experts. AS a result golf
ers have welcomed information on the
subject from the department, and
clubs in many parts of the country
have called on the department for ad-
vice and information. This fall
number of green's are being put in on
courses at Columbus and Akron, Ohio,
and a demonstration green on
course at Chicago.
The best results are obtained by
the department with pure strains of
creeping bent a grass of unifor color
and texture and resistant to wear.
These strains have been selected and
increased on the department expert
ment farm at Arlington, Va, and are
now commercially grown by two or
three companies. These strains of
bent grass are grown by the vegeta-
ton method instead of from seed
that is, the stolons, or runners, are
cut up and spread upon the ground
where a turf is desired. The grass
is first grown in nursery rows to OBJ
tain the increase needed for planting
the greens, To give golf clubs start
of this grass the department will fur
nish enough stolons to plant five or
six linear feet of nursery row. In
one year if well handled this will
produce enough increase to plant five
average golf green's. This fall such
starts of grass are being furnished to
fifty clubs. Grass was sent to about
the same number last year.
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1922-09-28

Reports received by the United
States Department of Agriculture in
dicate that 2,215,OO0 farmers, or an
average of about 1,100 per county,
adopted methods introduced by the
county extension agent in handling
their livestock or crops in 1921.
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1922-09-28

Selected seed corn was planted on
100000 additional acres in 1921
through the influence of demonstra-
tions by county extension workers,
according to reports to the United
States Department of Agriculture,
and 100000 farmers selected seed
corn for the next years use.
