To Obserpe Sun Spots

very small telescope. or even an
ordinary field glass or opera glass, VIII
afford the reader a view of sun spots
at a 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 It's
disk. several inches In diameter, is
projected on 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 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 snera glass he must protect his
eyes with the blacklist of smoked glass,
as the intensely bright image would
otherwise seriously injure them,--By

ITO the Republican party goes the
credit of being the leader in the cam
paign for national legislation to pro-
feet the children. 1t was the party
that enacted the first federal child
labor law" Mrs. Hert said. The Re-
publican platform commended con
gress for its prompt adoption of the
recommendation of President Coolidge
authorizing congress to pass protective
child labor legislation. 1t also urged
the prompt consideration of the amend
ment by Sthe legislatures of the vari-
GUS states.
This law, when ratified, will afford
nationwide protection for child work
ers
"The average woman of today is
worker. She either works to support
herself and those dependent upon her
or she works to make the family In
come buy as many comforts for her
family as possible.
THE last federal census showed
that out of 572 occupations, only 35
did not have women workers. Women
have entered the realm Of industry
and they must be carefully protected.
The action Of the Republican platform
In favoring high standards of wage,
working and living conditions among
women has received widespread COM
mendation.

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

After studying the existing facts
carefully and seriously, | can imag-
Inc the future unrolling in somewhat
the following fashion:
With the progress Of science and
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 a marked advance III
agriculture as an art; and in Il coun-
try having a considerable density OF
population this Will require real met
amorphosis In agriculture as busi-
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
cessful farming will require compe-
tent managers and highly paid special
lists, and these can be retained only
where there is a relatively large pro-
duction.
To what lengths Capitalization Will
go. no one can say. The limit viii
surely be different in the various
branches of husbandry. 1t Is not like
", 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 1t 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 yolun-
tarily because of the advantages Of
fered.
There will be large farms growing
as few crops as the exigencies of sci
entihc farming permit, managed by
business executives OF high caiIher and
saperintended by. Den adequately
trained In the natural sciences and in
farm practice These farms will be
nr,nly united into Acknowledgement as
soelatlons having single directive
policy.
Planting viii be controlled and over
production prevented. Standardized
products viii be sold and sold through
out the year In quantities just meet
ing the current market demands, thus
eliminating outside speculation. Mar
gins now eaten up by middlemen, both
from small quantity buying and from
lack of economy in selling, will go to
swell the annual balance OF the grow
ers themselves.
In brief the methods which have
made the American manufacturer sue
cessful will make the American farm
er successful IF. NJ East in Serb
