Inc grain is tsown separate from
the fertilizer. This method does not
call for drilling in the seed. 1t must
be sown broadcast on the surface,
and care taken to secure an even dis
tribution of the seed. If the seed is
sown too close together, the roots of
the various plants become entangled
and reduce nourishment. In such
case the plant is weakened and the
fruit undeveloped.
The point to bear in mind is that
the plant must have space enough to
stool. Given proper conditions, moth
ing can prevent the multiplication of
the rootage.
Again, it must be noted that if left
without further attention, the fate of
the grain would soon be sealed by
the growth of weeds. So it is i'm
portant to check the weeds, as well
as induce the stooling-out process by
a method of cultivation, very simple,
but uniformly effective.
When the grain is two or three
inches out of the ground it is time to
undertake cultivation, using an A
shaped weeder for this purpose. The
first operation takes place at the

Getting the Biggest Returns From the Farm

Tr-s VERY farmer who will adopt
measures to prevent rust and
smut in his crops will be do
ing an incalculable service to the
country as well as making larger
profits for himself. Attention has
drawn to the experiments of one
farmer in raising clean and profit
able grain. One strong feature of his
cultivation method is the stooling
out Of the roots, until in one case
the writer saw 10 heads or stalks
produced from one seed grain. I'm
der more intensive conditions this
number Of heads can be increased
for in this case there was no intent
to do more than any farmer can do
in a most casual way.
To raise two blades of grass where
one grew before is commemorate,
but to increase the ordinary yield of
20 grains of wheat, for instance, to
500 to 700 grains is almost working
the miraculous.
The first economy is in saving one

only one bushel to the acre instead
Of two, For fertilization use about

"I remember well when I first be-
gan to write that nothing was too
big problem for me to preach
about" Mcguire smiles, "and I sure
ly did hand out the sermons. I
didn't mix in many laughs in those
days, but somehow the plays took
with the public just the same. No
doubt they liked the stories that the
tale unfolded.
But I soon learned, through a
series of failures, that you had to
make American audiences laugh first,
if you are going to PROFOUND a lesson.
Sugar-coating the pill, in other
words. Yet comedy is secondary in
building play; entertainment
value is the first consideration.
When asked to formulate some
rules that would guide an aspiring
writer toward the pinnacles of sue
cess, Mr.. Mcclure stated that there
undoubtedly were rules that gov
erned dramatic technique, but if one
conformed too closely to them, then
there would be no advancement.
RuIac of Iho Ho,,oo

submitted one. / used to go to the
theater, analyze the productions
saw and then go home and compare
them with those I had written. The
usual result was that mine invari-
ably found the wastebasket. But if
I were asked to tabulate a few of the
important rules it would be some
thing like this:
Il. Have something to say; and,
by all means, say it honestly.
20. Say it without boring.
g. Do not. preach directly. Give
1t to them in the most entertaining
way possible, and let them gather
your moral for themselves.
"A. Don't be the writer. Always
stay on the outside, by thinking of
yourself as one of the audience. The
more unconscious you become of the
theater the better and more human
your play Win be. The technical
side of the game is not an essential.

stage indicated. The weeder is taken
over the ground the long ways first,
and a week later is repeated over
the short way This prepares the
crop for the third operation, which
is most effective after a rain, or, in
any event, not later than two weeks
after the second cultivation.
This process mellows the soil. pre-
vents dry crack, and distributes the
roots in the stooling process in such
a way as to produce results extraor-
binary.
But. as matter of fact, for certain
reasons, this crop of AK bushels to
the acre was produced with but two
civilizations, when there should have
been a third. The proper cultivation
will smother any weed or thistle, in
one and half years time, leaving
the field in fine shape to grow any
crop with little expense as to cult
walton.
This is no fairy story, or rampant
propaganda. It is the experience of
one simple man in trying to UNDER
stand the processes of nature, and
the results are commended to his
thinking comrades.

remain SO far behind?
Why does he make this reference
to the Yellow race? Because the In
dams of both Americas, although
their languages have no such rela-
ton, are distinctly of the .Asiatic
Yellow race type! So the mystery
of America thickens at every step!
Some Scientific Points.
There seems little doubt that, by
the color of their skin and the ma
ture of their hairy system, the whole
lot, north and south, are of the yell
low Mongol type. Hovelaque paris,
1899 admits, for the language diff
Guilty, that the Polysynthetic Gram
NAUTICAL type, regarded as absolutely
special to America, is in reality a
phase by which the most perfect
languages have passed, and that
early as even this might seem to
throw us, color of skin and nature
of hairy system preceded it. They
are SO. deep-rooted that no subsequent
influences of climate, etc, have. been
able to bulge them. Even the form
of the nose (Which is straighter and
more prominent with the Indians
than the Mongols) and the forehead
(Which is higher and more noble),
like the hooked nose and retreating
foreheads sculptured on Central
American monuments, are secondary.
They came from Northern Asia.
They came in successive small emf
grations They did not have the
pillow, the use of cereals or knowledge
Of iron Neither had they flocks.
Hunting and fishing, they must ever
pass onward The Eskimos formed
the first emigration, and specialized
up there But the main push was
south.
The Mound Builders came next It
is agreed they were ancestors of
North American Indians; but the
Athabaskas (ancestors of Apaches
and Navajos) had an important role
in this peopling of America. So it is

Hurons and particularly, the Algon-

between the>two opinions, either tina
the Mayas came up from Sout
America and civilized the Mexicans
or that they were branch of tn

nay, working on the spot, believe
the latter. Mr.. Vignaud also.
But, while citing important Amer
lean works-Bowditch, Morley, Cyru
Thomas and Spinden-he leaves ope1
a peephole for the mystery still!
Apart from color of skin and nature
of hairy system, there is, truly, "at
solutely no proof of race relationship
of the Indians of the two Americas"
but "these suffice, if you can not
show any other emigrations!"
Can not you? Perhaps not; but
Daniel Wilson, Learned anthropolo-
gist, to whom Americana owes
much, insisted that America was
peopled from the south, rather than
from the northi Reginald Enoch's
Secret of the Pacific" would have
supporter in him, and Mr.. Vignaud
himself admits "the Polynesians, like
the redskins, being, at least, in part
of Mongol origin!"
That is to say, Mr.. vignatd states
this along with Daniel Wilson's
friendly concession that "a part of
the American aborigines may have
come by Behring Isthmus." Mr. Wig
maud puts it just the 'other way
about. The mass came by way OF
Behring; but a few may have come
northward, from "the secret of the
Pacifc!"

date was about the year A. D. 300.
The hieroglyphical map in the Mu-
scum of Mexico shows the arrival, in
barks, of the Nahuatls. According to
the Ramirez Manuscript, it was A. D.
800.
So the mystery of America con-
tinues! If Asiatics occupied America
SO recently, how did they not know
the big domestic animals, mans in
separable companions of the Old
World; the principle of the wheel,
the use of lamps. ETC.? Also, can we
believe that the geological bridges
of Behring, ETC., had not sunk?
All the same, our aborigines- are of
the yellow Asiatic race.
Going south, the Mexicans became
the Mayas. Now, from their own
sparsely deciphered hieroglyphics,
ETC., the Mayas established them
selves in Yucatan about B. c. 200!

but which seems vitality real just the
same? In order to get to the secret
we'll have to waylay Will MCGUIRE
while he's in his workshop, and
listen to what he has to say for him
self.
Getting the Right Angle.
"My business is primarily to ap-
peal to human emotion" Mr.. Mcguire
says as he lights his cigar, and then
proceeds to turn the pages of the
manuscript Of his latest comedy, TITS
a Boy" "In fact that is what every
playwright does from one angle or
another. But the trouble lies in the
fact that not every one gets the an
gle he can use the best.
IF you want to write successful
plays you must realize that the first
purpose of the theater is entertain
ment." the author goes on. But
that entertainment must carry some
hat entertainment must carry some
lesson of good with it, otherwise it
is going to do more harm than bet
terment. Unless a writer places in
his play message that will benefit
he has no right to write. The ele-
ment of uplift must be there. BY all
means bring your play down to the
public, and thus bring the message
up to them.
LET me say that if had play
which / knew would make millions
for me, and yet was immoral, I
wouldn't write it-unless it taught a
big lesson. My own 'six-Cylinder

the audience, but the lesson is al

THE PLAY
by OILY LOQS

Here is play in which the
calling of balk, the failure of the
pitcher to heed the call and the ac-
ton Of the batter in hitting the
ball caused trouble.
There is a runner on first. The
pitcher, after several efforts 10
catch him mapping, pulls a move
which the umpire rules a balk.
The pitcher failed to hear the
call Of balk or ignored it, for he
delivered the ball to the batsman.
The batsman knew the umpire had
called a balk, but when the pitcher
delivered the ball, hit for three
bases, scoring the runner from
first.
When the umpire first ruled the
move a balk the catcher started to
protest the ruling. After ne bats
man had hit for three bases he
called the umpire's attention to the
fact that he had called the move Il
balk.
What should have been done?
