Keep Seed Grain Pure;

Of the agronomy department of the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
while it is difficult to keep the
grain absolutely pure, the mixture can
be kept reasonably clean by going
through portion of the field, after
the grain is headed out, and pulling
the foreign plants. A large enough
patch should be rogued to provide
seed for next years acreage. BY fol-
lowing this method each second or
third year the grain can be kept
nearly pure" he declares.

LONGER LIFE IN VILLAGES
Tranquility and Comfort Of the
Smaller Places Are Conducive
to Longevity.

A,small Missouri town Of little more
than 200 people numbers 80 who are
four-score years old, while another Of
300 or 400 has 100 octogenarians.
This, then, is the secret of longev-
ity: Life in the village. The fountain
of youth appears to be very close to
the town pump.
Far from the madding crowds ig-
noble strife, with nothing exciting to
interest or perturb, man or woman
may live and live as TRANQUILITY from
season to season as the trees and
other objects Of nature.
Diet, too, must count. Cold storage
never blights with its frigid fingers
the food that the ancient villager finds
upon his table, even the butter being
preserved from dissolving into an ole
aginous, paste by being kept In the
little tin bucket. the rusty-bound
bucket. the frost-covered bucket that
hangs in the well-if ice Is hard to
get.
1t is, then, the city thar kills? Is
that where the figures are added to
the death rate? Although each city is
proud to boast that it is lowering
them.
The village keeps few tables Of stu
tistics and has no carefully chosen
regimen, but the people go on and on
into the twilight of old age without
the slightest concern for vitamines
and calories; and very little. indeed.

Refilling Small Silos

somewhat empty refill with the
shocked corn.
This kind Of silage is better feed

field although it is not as good as the

silage on the old will not hurt either.

After Ten Years.

For twenty years two business men
in Vienna met every day at the Schnit-
zelplatz cafe for luncheon, and after
the dishes were cleared away, they
would indulge in game Of chess.
And every day for ten years young
man, stranger to both the players,
would draw up chair and watch
them in silence.
Finally one day one OF the old gen.
.tlemen failed to make an appearance,
and, after waiting decent length OF
time, the other turned to the young
man who sat waiting for the game to
begin, speaking to him for the first
time since he had been spectator. "My
partner may not appear today. Would
you Care to play a game with me?'
Sorry" the young man replied

Anti Burberry Plans
Have Been Enlarged
Department of Agriculture
Adds 300 Field Men.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agrcuture.)
Over 300 field men were added ON
July 2 to the force conducting the
original farm-to-farm survey for COM
mon barberry bushes under the direc-
ton of the United States Department
OF Agriculture. 1t is planned to- COM
plcte the survey of all territory in the
eight states west of the Mississippi
river which are in the barberry-eradi-
cation area by the end of the year.
Field work has been going forward
since May, attention being given main
~ to resurvey work and the treating
of sprouting and escaped bushes with
chemicals. The use OF common salt OF
crushed rock salt applied to the crown
of the bushes is finding favor among
farmers because of its efficiency in kill.
ing the plants and it's ease of applica.
ton. A recent report to the depart.
ment stated that out of 900 bushes
treated with salt in single area, but
two were found on the resurvey that
were not completely killed.
Surveys will also be conduct In
five states east of the Mississippi river
but present indications are that it will
not be possible to complete the original
farm-to-farm survey in this section in
less than two years. A number of re.
surveys will be made to- eradicate
many of the escaped bushes, sprouts
and seedlings which NAV have an
peared in the area in which the Original
survey has been completed in the sec

Sandy Clay Loans Best
for Growing Raspberry

The red and purple raspberry va
rieties, such as the Cuthbert and
Lowdon, seem to grow best on sandy
clay loans, while the black caps, of
which the Gregg is perhaps the
leading variety. are planted by ex-
perlenced growers on rich clay loans,
but neither the red nor the black are
over particular and will do well on
any well drained fertile loans.

Forest Problems Acute.

Every year makes the forest prob
lem of the United States more clear,
says Col. William B. Greeley, chief of
the forest service, United States De
partment of Agriculture. The prob
lem has two main features. The first
feature is the rising cost Of timber
products, which is due primarily to
heavier transportation charges from
more and more distant sources of sup
ply. The second feature is the un-
productive condition of immense areas
of land which are not adapted to agri-
culture.

New England is the home Of in,

poor. Today. however. with a strong
stock market and a good bond mar
ket, people feel more like spending
money. This means that not only
are the wage workers OF New Eng

money. To quote Mr.. Ford: In some
sections l shall sell more Fords and
in other sections more Lincolns In
1928; but in New England l expect

Land surprisinsly Cheap.
Land is still reasonable in price
throughout these six states. People
coming from other sections of the
country are astonished at the low
figures quoted on the finest suburb ban
land. especially within ten miles of
Boston. Good land for building. with
all conveniences. such as water. gas
and electricity. can be bought for IL
cents a foot and the choicest lots
can be secured at 30 cents. This
means that the suburban development
in New England should be very great
during the next few years. Conse-
quently there will be keen demand
forSbuilding materials and both skill
ed and common labor. New England
Is fast becoming the great summer
playground Of the United States-as
people go to Florida and California
in the winter. they visit New Eng
land in the summer.
THE growth OF the summer busi-
ness conference which we hold every
year at Wellesley reflects this tend
ency. Each year, for three years. the
Babson Institute has been obliged to
build new and larger auditorium to
take care Of the visiting business
men who came between July 25 and
August 10 from all parts Of the coun-
try. Northf1eld and the other confer
ence centerS have had a similar ex-
perience and we all are looking for
ward to 1923 being our biggest year
ever for hight grade summer resorts.
6ources OF Wealth.
when studying New England con-
ditions it is most interesting to con-
slider the sources of wealth in these
six states - Maine, New Hampshire.
Vermont. Massachusetts,. Rhode Is
land and Connecticut. They are al
most void of natural resources. They
have no coal or iron. no copper or
other metals. The fields Of New Eng
land are not fertile. l remember my
grandfather, who was a farmer in
Gloucester, saying that all his pos
sessions were rocks and bushes and
on every farm are evidence that the
early settlers certainly had rocks to
contend with.
Statistics show the real assets Of
New England to be her industry,
thrift honesty and desire to be Of
service. It has been these intangible
but all important forces which have
made New England. These six states
