Forty years ago this week the body
of a man, says the Cumberland News,
much decomposed, was found in Gar

An inquest was held by a Garrett
county magistrate. The body was
that of a man apparently about 80
years old. There was a revolver
clasped in one of the hands, but no
indication that the deceased had shot
himself. Nineteen dollors IN cash
was found in his clothing.

GARRETT P. SERVISS TELLS OF
SLOPES IN FARMING
Can Greater Number of Trees or Plants of Any
Kind, Grasses Included, Be Grown on Hilly Land?

slope, which comes out about
111.S feet.
But the stems being all par
allel and equally spaced (hori-
zontally), have the same number
Of root-stalks whether they grow
on the level ground or on the
slope. 1t follows that more land
surface is covered by the same
number of plants growing on a
slope than if they grew on
level. 1t is true that if you could
compel the plants to keep their
stems at a right angle to the
ground, a greater number might
be grown on slope than on a
level of the same horizontal ex-
tent. But it is not the nature Of
plants to grow that way; so the
supposition is an impracticable
one.
There Is another point which
you may care to consider from
the viewpoint OF practical agri-
culture: Would the plants on the
slope be equally we'll nourished
as the same number on the level?
They are better aerated, but the
soil in which they grow, besides
being probably impoverished, re-
ceives less solar energy. This
brings us back 20 what I said
about the winter and summer
sunshine.
In summer the north pole Of
the earth inclines sunward, and
the sun runs high" in the sky,
so that it's rays descend upon
the soil at an angle more or less
approaching the vertical, in ac-
cordance with the latitude. In
winter the pole inclines away
from the sun, and the latter runs
low, not very high above the
southern horizon in the north
of the United States and Canada.
The effect of these differences
in the angle at which the sun
beams strike the ground is the
chief cause of the contrast be-
tween the temperatures of sum-
mer and winter. The solar rays,
like the stems of trees in a pine
forest, are all parallel with one
another. They come straight
from the sun to the earth. Just
as the growing plants occupy
more ground when on a slope
than when on the level, so the
sunbeams cover more space on
the earth's surface when they
strike it at an angle than when
they descend upon it vertically.
Not only are the same number
of rays distributed over a greater
surface, but they also pass
through a greater cubic mass of
air, so that the intensity of their
heating effect is relatively dimin-
ished both upon the ground and
in the atmosphere.
The great difference in the
heating power of the sun in
winter and summer may be
wildly shown by a diagram like
figure 2, in which the slope of
the solar rays at forty north
latitude Is shown as it exists in
June and In December.

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland.

After All
NOBODY has the right to be
IN SO happy in this world as
a bachelor thinks he is.
The great tragedy of the Amer
lean husband is the burden of
having to put up a limousine
front on a flivver income.
Why Is 1t that the villain in
the movies always makes love
SO artistically while the hero
just clutches the girl and blurts
1t out? Is love-making such a
villainous thing that it's beneath
the notice of a really good man?
If husbands would give their
wives a little more personal at
tention and wives would give
their husbands a little more per-
sonal liberty, marriage would be
more of a sacrament and less OF
a sacrifice.
The meanest man is not the
one who quarrels with a woman,
but the one who Just sits there
he thinks deep, dark, hateful
thoughts which he refuses to
TELL her.
An antique" is a woman who
can remember when everybody
exclaimed How Fortunate" when
a girl got married, and How
shocking" when she got a d.
vorce.
This is the time of year when
a man avoids the eXertiOn and
indignity Of putting up the por-
there's by sneaking out OF the
back door and spending the day
trotting around the golf links.
Most girls marry, nowadays,
just in order to get a husband
to tide them over until they can
find some really vital interest
in life.
A man never knows what he
wants for breakfast or what
qualities he admires in a Wom-
an-until he finds out what you
haven't GOT.

1--WE are readers Of your ar
ticles and would like to ask:
Can a greater number of trees
or plants of any kind, grasses
included, be grown on hilly
land than on level land, when
planted equal distance apart
and fertility the same? Some
contend hilly land has the ad-
vantage. 1 claim growing sur
face is represented by the area
of air-W. r., Oak Terrace
Min.
YOUR problem Is of the same
l. nature as that involved in
the different heating effect of the
suns rays in winter and in sum
mer. Let us first represent by a
simple diagram the respective re-
lations of a sloping and a hori-
zonial surface to a single set Of
parallel lines, which we will call
the upright stalks of plants or
trees.
You know, of course, that
through a curious natural adjust
ment to the action Of gravity all
plants tend to grow in a vertical
direction whether they stand on a
plane or on a hillslope. Some
times the resulting distortion of
the plants is a pathetic sight.
They seem to be writhing in a
desperate struggle with the law
of gravitation.
