POSSIBILITIES
BY RERTON RRALEY

TF I could go
To some place where the tropic
- breezes blow,
And where need not even fret and labor,
Striving to wax as wealthy as my neighbor;
TT I could find
A haven from the cares that vex
my mind
And pIacidly exist in peace and plenty,
The perfect type of dolce far niente;"
With bright birds singing in the branches
gaily,
While dusky maidens thrummed the
ukulele;
IF could lie,
Drowsy and idle, meath an azure
sky,
Away from all the hurry and hustle,
With never need to worry or to hustle;
II GUILD I discover
Some spot where lazy magic
seems to hover
In all the air, and natures slubrous beauty
Made me forget ambition, work and duty
= I should fare
Forth to a place like that, devoid
- of care,
I would be happy for little while,
'Loafing about my little lazy isle;
~ UT wouldn't I,
Is Before lot Of time had drifted by,
for strife,
And for the toll and trouble Of this life?
Perhaps would can't be sure about it,
But-well, doubt it!

Bordeaux Mixture for
Spraying Potato Crop

Much Of the value of bordeaux
mixture in spraying potatoes depends
upon how the materials in the mixture
are compounded. The standard for
mula consists of five pounds of blue
vitriOl, or copper sulphate, and five
pounds Of freshly burned lime in so
gallons of water.
The copper sulphate is dissolved by
placing it into bag and suspending
in water The lime Is treated separ-
ately. A little hot water is poured on
the lime until it becomes active. Then
cold water Is added slowly as the lime
stakes until fairly thin white liquid
results.
In mixing, either the copper sui
plate or the lime, should be fairly d.
luted. 1t is better, especially where
mixing small amounts, to pour the
copper sulphate solution into the milk
of lime. A heavy sediment is apt to
result If the opposite process is fol-
lowed. Many potato growers have
mixed it the wrong way and the re-
suits have been of comparatively little
value.

~ Asses brought to determine the
constitutionality Of the Shep-
herd-Towner maternity act
were dismissed for want of
jurisdiction by the Supreme court,
which refused to pass upon the validity
of the law.
Justice Sutherland, announcing the
courts opinion that the cases could
not be considered on their merits,
pointed out that the cases In which
the court hitherto had assumed juris-
diction differed from the maternity
cases, which presented only political
and not judicial questions.
The highest court, Justice Suther-
: land said, was without authority to
pass upon abstract questions. He as
serted that state had no right to
bring suit to protect the rights of the
citizens of the United States. The fed
eral government must look after the
rights of its citizens, he said, taking
the position that there was nothing
presented to distinguish the citizens to
such an extent as to give the state
right to act for them.
Referring to the claims of a tax
payer, as represented in the separate
case brought by Harriet A. Frothing-
ham, the justice asserted that the eff
feet of the law upon future taxes was
so remote that no basis was offered
under which any court of equity could
entertain the complaint.

than wheat, because they are too bulky
in relation to the price to bear the
cost of long-distance transportation.
Therefore the greater portion of the
crop always is consumed in the coun-
try In which 1t is produced.
The oat crop is not as important
commercially as wheat and corn. Ac-
cording to the census data, slightly
less than a third of the national pro-
duction of oats in 1919 was sold off
the farm by farmers. Farm consump-
ton apparently absorbed the remain
der Of the crop. OF the part sold by
farmers larger proportion goes to
terminal markets than In the case of
corn, much of which is sold by one
farmer to another for feeding and
thus never reaches the terminals.

Recent Bulletin Issued in
Aid of It's Production.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
When the present generation OF mid
dle-aged men were boys, butter was a
farm product almost altogether, and
was shipped to the large markets like
other farm products. With the growth
of the creamery system, however,
farmers have come to dispose of their
cream through this channel, and farm
butter has fallen off very largely. In
1899 over billion pounds of butter
were made on the farm: twenty years
later. only 70O.OO0;000 pounds; and the
farm butter of today is consumed at
home or in nearby towns.
Nevertheless, a considerable part Of
the butter of the country is still made
on farms, and to aid in the produc-
tion Of good product, the dairy d.
vision of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has issued Farm
ers' Bulletin SIC, Making Butter on
the Farm. This bulletin first appeared
several years ago; it was later re-
vised; and the demand for it was such
that 1T became exhausted. A reprint
has just come out, copies of which may
be obtained by application to the de-
partment at Washington, d. c.
The bulletin discusses the quality
and preparation of the cream, the
process Of churning, and how to over
come the difficulties which arise in that
process. Packages for market, and
how to pack the butter for storing are
also taken up. The necessary equip
ment is listed, and plan is given for
conveniently arranged dairy house,
which is highly desirable thing in
carrying on the manufacture of farm
butter.

tanks grinding them remorselessly
under the steel-shod runners. At
times each tank was knocking over
half dozen trees at the same time,
literally roofing them from the earth
and numbering forward over PROSTATE
trunks a foot or more in diameter.
The sheer power of the geared Liberty
engines overcame every obstacle of
ditch or bank or brush or tree clump,
and not an inch to right or left from
the selected course were the monsters
forced to swerve.
Later a miniature tank attack was
delivered over the rough, sandy field
that is the playground of the school
herd. Three "Mark Wits" led the
drive, their six-peunder guns roaring
and machine guns snarling as they
crept forward behind smoke bar
rage hurled from their guns. They
looked like crawling dragons, breath
ing smoke and flame, as they shoul-
dered their way over bitches and sand
dunes to disappear over a ridge be-
yond in clouds of dust and spouts of
flying debris flung up from land mines.
