HIGH PRIESTESS
OF THEOSOPHY
DUE HERE

DR.. Annie Besant, who came to
America on lecture tour in
August, has played many roles in
her long life. but probably the
strongest was that of prisoner
during the world war.
At the outbreak of hostilities
DR.. Besant was at her home,
Adyard, India, where she threw
all her strength with the allies,
urging the Indian soldiers to sup
port Great Britain's cause. Be-
cause of her great influence with
the masses, she was a remarkable
aid to the government.
However, in June, 1917, because
OF false information. DR.. Besant.
George S. Arundale, and B. P.
Wadia, two other Theosophists,
were arrested under the defense
act and informed in Nilgiri Hills.
where they remained incommuni-
cado for three months before the
government discovered it had
been tricked. The internment was
just one more interesting expert
ence to this unusual woman.
When liberated. DR.. Besant was
welcomed at Madras by an enor-
nous crowd. which made a great
demonstration in her honor.
DR.. Annie Besant, international
president Of the Theosophical So
ciety, Is to make a countrywide
lecture tour. She has made four
previous visits to the United
States and has many friends here.
She first came here in 1891 and
again in 1898, when she attended
the Worlds Congress OF Relig-
ions. Her other two visits were
made in 1907 and 1909. She will
lecture here on Wednesday, No

FLEXIBILITY IN CROPPING A
FACTOR In CROP ROTATION

1t is commonly observed that uni
formity of soil, even on a single
farm, is most unusual, and that one
field may require an entirely differ
ent rotation of crops from another
adjoining it. A rotation best suited
to a producing sandy soil is un-
likely to be suited to a highly pro-
ductive silt loan. Again, a hillside
field, subject to soil washing calls
for different rotation management
from a field on a fiat area.
Each farm presents its own prob
lens. The farmer who farms more
or less with livestock is not so
much concerned with rotation as
with the acreage of crops necessary
to meet his feeding requirement.
The truck grower is concerned pri-
marily with the question of crops
in relation to market conditions. In
either case rotation is means to
an end, with two aspects: The grow
ing of the desired crops in man
ner, or in different rotations, best
suited to the soil and crop cOndi-
tiOns; and the dOvetailing of the
different rotations so as to enable
the farmer to realize annually the
required acreage of each crop he
desires.
Still greater fiexibility in crop ro-
tation may be needed, owing to local
conditions which may arise, such as
insect pests, crop diseases, or
weeds. Changing the common fixed
rotation may reduce army worm in
jury, or an additional intertilled
crop may help combat some obnoX-
ious weed. Changes in economic or
market conditions may compel rota-
ton changes. Any cropping system
which will permit of easy alterna-
ton is preferable to one that does
not possess this quality of elasticity.
We like people who can work
without making too much noise.
