To Observe Sun Spots

A very small telescope, or even an
ordinary field glass or opera glass, will
afford the reader view of sun spots
mt n time of solar activity. The
safest way to observe them is TO point
the instrument at the sun and focus
the eyepiece until sharp image of its
disk. several inches in diameter, is
projected on a surface of smooth white
cardboard held at distance of from
two to four feet. The spots can easily
be distinguished from specks on the
eyepiece by noticing that they move
with the suns image. At present we
are just emerging from "A period of
solar calm during which no spots have
been seen for weeks at time. But
a new cycle of activity has already be-
gun, and few spots are beginning to
appear. The reader hardly needs to
be warned that if he wishes to look
directly with his telescope, field glass
or opera glass he must protect his
eyes with the blacklist of smoked glass,
as the intensely bright image would
otherwise seriously injure them.-By
George Elerly Hale in Scribner's.

Those who can, do those who
can't, so to college" is an exploded
idea Witness the results of sur
yey of the student body of the Michi-
gan Agricultural College recently re-

1t was found that more than per
cent of the students at that school
previously had been members OF Al

and girls, fostered by the Department
of Agriculture and the agricultural
colleges. in which the only results
recognized are those which are OBJ
tanned by doing" There are now
1873 students at this college who had
received training and inspiration
from their club work under county
agents and club leaders. They did
things with fields of corn, with gar
dens, with flocks of hens, with pigs,
and calves and sheep, in canning, in
sewing, and in a score more ways.
But because they learned to do these
things well they did not seorn the
lecture hall and laboratory. On the
contrary, their curiosity was aroused
and their desire for a better educa-
tion was whetted by doing things.
OF particular interest is the fact
that. although engineering and lib
eral arts also are taught at this
school, more than twice as many of
these former club members are en-
rolled in agriculture and home eco
Monies than in all the other courses.
The knowledge and skill these boys
and girls acquired in their practical

Livestock Necessary,

In a talk delivered during the In
formation Livestock Exposition, held
at Chicago early in December, DR..
John r. Mohler, Chief of the Bureau
of Animal Industry, United States
Department of Agriculture, told
briefly of the Importance of live
stock in our national economy. lone
may ask" said Doctor Mohler, why
it is necessary or even desirable to
have a large animal population in the
country such as this with its millions
of automobiles and trucks and its
vast acres for producing cereal
grains. The answer is simple. Our
domestic animals, developed through
long years of evolution, are marvel
ously efficient in converting vast
quantities of grasses, forage, plants,
and other products which are of
slight direct value to mankind into
valuable animal products. These
products include meats, milk, butter,
cheese, leather, fats, wool, mohair,
and almost countless by-products
ranging from violin strings to
fertilizer.
THE United States contains the
largest producing region in the
world yet the human population uses
only about one-tenth of that crop di-
rectly as food The public appetite
much prefers to use the corn crop
in the form of juicy steaks and
savory hams. Through the stock
mans skill our domestic animals are
becoming gradually more efficient in
converting coarse feed into refined
and concentrated products. AS al
chemists for the refinement of base
materials, cattle, swine, and sheep
to say nothing of goats-have an
enviable record"

FARMING TO BE ON
SCIENTIFIC BASIS
Writer Sees Agriculture Be-
coming Centralized.

After studying the existing facts
carefully and seriously, | can mag
inc the future unroling in somewhat
the following fashion:
With the progress of science and a
a more thorough diffusion of knowl-
edge than there has been in the past,
the development OF agriculture should
compare favorably with that of me-
chanical industry. Though the odds
are against revolutionary discoveries,
there will be marked advance in
agriculture as an art and In a coun.
try having considerable density OF
population this will require real met
amorphosis In agriculture as a bust
ness.
AS the complexity of the situation
increases, thus demanding more and
more In the way of capital and knowl-
edge, both the little farmer and the
inefficient farmer will be forced to
the wall There will be a survival
of the fittest
Paralleling the tendency of the last
20 years in manufacturing there will
be "a trend toward larger units. Sue
ccssful farming will require compe
tent managers and highly paid special

where there is relatively large pro

surely be different in the various
branches of husbandry. 1t Is not like
ly, for example, that individual con
troll can become as extensive in grow
ing fresh vegetables for immediate
consumption as in raising wheat and
corn. But it seems quite probable that
ultimately there will be agricultural
undertakings comparable in size and
scope to the United States Steel cor
poration. They will build up volun-
tarily because of the advantages of

There will be large farms growing

Planting will be controlled and over
