What Is PsychoI0gyf

Professor Henry c. McComas, in The
 North American Review.
 Probably no other word in the English language can be found in so many connections as the word "psy- chology The President of the United States connects it with business de- pression; ponderous German profess sors conect it with their wars fail- ure. If We turn from the newspapers to the university libraries we find the word in more bewildering con nections. We may take down vol ume under the heading of "Psychol- ogy" and discover that it deals with the dancing mouse, or the spiritual aspiration of the medieval monks. we pick up The Psychological Index and find thousands of articles of every description covering studies ranging from the kneejerk to race degeneracy.
 What is psychology? It is the study of human nature. It is scien- tific. It is unscientific. Where is it the one, where is it the other? Who shall draw the line? In the mean time, as charity is a cloak that cov CTS saint and sinner, so psychology will still head the shelves upon which stand the books written by science, near-science and nom science.
 And it is all "Psyehology"i

 The scenes of the screen feature, While Justice Waits" are laid in a small mining town and the sur rounding hills. The central figures are an outlaw who has joined the band to seek his wife-and q girl whose faith in him is justified after various sensational incidents. Around this pair is developed strong of crime, courage, cowardiee and cu- pidity which should afford fine op- portunities to an actor of Dustin Farnum's ability, and to support ing company of the excellence which Fox has undoubtedly supplied.

Non-saccharine sorghums.

What are non -saccharine sorg- huns? It simply means any plant that may belong to the sorghum fam fly but is not cultivated for the pro duction of syrup because the juices are so low in sugar as to render their growth unprofitabie for the produce tion of molasses. In this group are several grasses, such as Johnson grass and sudan, both belonging to the non -saceharine sorghums and very valuable hay plants. The non saccharine sergh hms include a lot of plants that should be more large ly grown in Alabama because well adapted on account of their ability to stand heat and surprising amount of dry, hot weather. The more important of which are the kaffir corns, embracing several varieties. The milo's. of which a number of varieties exist. Feterita. another desirable variety, is of spe- cial merit, will produce planted carly or as late as July. These so-called grain sorghums are a sure crop, and as grain for stock or poultry, can not be equaled. Nearly all of us are buying chicken feed every day. If you note, all of these little round seed in the mixture are one of these non -saccharine sorghums. Instead Of buying this chicken feed. why not plant a few rows of these grains and grow your own chicken feed. Ala bama can grow anything if we only try.
 Mixed Seed.
 Boss. give me dimes worth of turnips. What kind? Just mixed 'em up. This is what happens every day. First, it is the ignorant negro and the next customer. is some re- fined lady who also wants them mixed up. They all, of course, get accommodated. but why mix them up? People who buy seed ought to have some definite idea of varieties or what they want to grow. This is why the resulting crop is often dis appointing. People are not specific enough in buying their seed. A lady will order a half dozen rose bushes and if you ask her what varieties
