AGRICULTURE

The Junior Potato Growers Asso-
cation Of Garland County, Ark, is
composed Of 80 farm boys and farm
girls, ranging in age from about IA
to Is years. They are all members
OF boys and girls potato clubs in
which, under the guidance of the
county agricultural extension agent,
they are learning to practice the best
Known methods of growing potatoes
and preparing them for market.
These young farmers organized
their own growers association, &C.
cording to reports to the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, elected Off
GERS, appointed committees, including
a buying and marketing committee,
and selected one variety of potato
which all members agreed to grow.
They have finished harvesting their
1928 crop and on October 10th rem
dered businesslike account of their
years accomplishments to the Hot
Springs Lions Club, which has given
the association support.
The members grew the report
states, 786 bushels of No. grade po-
tees and over 500 bushels of No. 2's,
producing altogether 1900 bushels.
They marketed their crop cooper
atiyely, receiving 1854 for it. The
cost Of production was 1858; the net
rrcft 1886, about IA cents per bushel.
The member making the highest av-
elage yield harvested 27.5 bushels
from one-eighth acre plot. A num-
btr of the members, according to the
report, have started bank accounts
with their earnings and practically all
expect to continue the work next
year.
The report, signed by the president
and secretary, is written on the print
ed letterhead of the association, which
l.ears the names Of the boys and girls
who are officers and members of the
Buying and marketing committees.

Modern science is unable to find any
evidence that the moon affects the
weather to an appreciable extent, and
unable to conceive of any reason why
it should. The movements of the at
mosphere that give US different kinds
# weather all involve the expenditure
Of an immense amount of energy in
tie form of heat. Such energy comes
% us from the sun, and it's varying
effects depend mainly upon the vary
ing positions of the earth as it re-
wolves around the sun and rotates on
its axis. The moon has no heat of it's
own: It merely gives off into space
tat which it receives from the sun,
and a small fraction of this reaches
the earth. The aomunt of heat we
receive from the moon has been
measured with very delicate instru-
mcnts. It is so excessively minute that
whatever effect it may have upon our
atmosphere must be completely
swamped and obliterated by the enor-
nicusly greater effects of solar en-
e1gy.
It is true that the pull of the moon
and the sun upon he atmosphere pro-
duces tide in the atmosphere much
like the tide in the ocean. But this,
too, has been measured, and it is
found to be insignificant compared
with the alternate expanding and
shrinking of the atmosphere due to
heating by day and cooling by night
the cheat tide" SO to speak. Hence
il is of no practical interest.
The belief in "dry" and "wet"
moons, indicated by the position of
t." lunar crescent in the evening sky,
and a host of other notions associat-
ing the moon with the weather, are
merely idle superstitions. Moonlight
is sometimes said to be conducive to
frost. The fact is that moonlight
nights are also clear nights, and it is
the absence Of clouds, not the pres
e, ce of the moon, that favors the oc-
cLrrence Of frosts by permitting a
r. pid loss of heat from the earth.

Profitable use of cut-over land is
enc of the problems of any section in
which much numbering is done. F.
M. Harrison, of the Sunset Hill
Farms, Lake, Miss, with the advice
Of the county agricultural extension
agent, has tried poultry raising as a
solution of the problem both for his
own and for his neighbors' informa-
ton. Starting in 1920 with 1 male
bird and 5 hens of high-producing
strains, he had by the next spring a.
bout so pullets. The following year
bis flock numbered $50 pullets and by
January, 1923, it had increased to 400
pullets. For the eight months from
January to September, 1923, Mr.. Har-
rlson realized from his flock profit
of $500 in addition to the value of the
birds, which, by September, numbered
600 The profits were made almost
entirely from the sale of eggs, ac-
cording to reports to the United
States Department of Agriculture, the
price received averaging about 35cts
per dozen. Many people have visited
the farm, some coming a distance Of
Il miles, and reports show that near
ly hundred farmers who have stud
led the methods used on this farm are
starting flocks. Mr.. Harrison is in
crcasing his flock and expects to de-
vote additional time to his poultry
plant.

A man in Salt Lake City left nego-
table securities in his automobile
valued at $3,000,000 when he parked
it. The man was a wealthy ranehman.
When he returned to his car in the
heart of the city's business district
he found the car, but not the securl-
ties. Though no one was aware Of
the contents of the case which con-
tanned the wealth, someone must have
accidentally hit upon the plan of TAX

Indications of early frost have
started a manic among the farmers
who are doubly anxious that cool
weather remain in the background
until the husks begin to turn golden.
One can't blame the farmer. He
has a hard lot. With wet weather
in the spring, the cut-worm, army
worm, and every other imaginable
pest working on his grain in summer
and the early frost in September.
what chance has he with nature?
Yet why has the farmer on the
whole consistently refused to study
the best methods of eounteracting
these pests?
The Farm Bureau, coupled with the
splendid instruction of the University,
holds out to the farmer the emporium
ity for study of he latest methods Of
waging war on his numerous enemies,
vet the Farm Bureau can scarcely
obtain enough members in the county
TO exist.
What is true Of the Farm Bureau
is partially true of Union Labor.
There are men in the ranks Of un-
organized labor who are perpetually
complaining of the enemies that greet
them in their efforts to make a liv-
ing. Yet they will not unite their
support with the large body of work
men who are striving to solve the
workingman's problems. This is the
way of life.
