Editorial Comment
Measuring the Loss
(St. Paul Dispatch)


What is the difference between the virgin lands
IF the northwest that once raised 40 bushels of wheat
20 the acre and those of today that seem bounttul
if they yield but 20? Experiments at the West
Central Experiment Station farm at Morris, Mnn.,
this year, the results of which were announced
Tuesday, give the answer.
Land that year ago gave l4.52 bushels to the
acre, this year gave 2O.8 bushels, and similar re-
suits were found in the comparative yields OF oats
and barley This year the land was fcrtilizcd with
200 pounds to the acre of 40 per cent acid phos-
phatc, at a cost Ct 81 acre. The increased yield
gave a SO per cent profit on the transaction
Forty years ago the land Of this region was rich
in phosphate but repeated groupings have exhausted

Of those days. there must be put into the soil that

the same-though it may lock black and rich as
it did when the first plow scored it with the first
black furrow. The measure of loss is, in dollars
and cents, 81 an acre to get 20 bushels and MANY
times 81 to return-if that were possible-to the
original 10 bushels.

Who's Crazy Now?

Those croakers who maintain that married life
drives people crazy had better sharpen their wits
to defend their argument and get their facts to-
gether for Dr. Horatio NJ. Pollock, statistican of
the New York State Hospital commission, is taking
issue with that opinion and is prepared to prove his
point with his carefully compiled and verified sta
tistics
He has just completed the tabulation of sur
vcy the first of its kind just made under the super
vision Of William c. Hunt, chief statistician for
the United States government on population. The
data presented the calendar year Of 1922 and
shows that ola per cent Of those cornmited to in
sttut;ons for the insane single, 84A per cent
were married. per cent were widowed, 81 per cent
were divorced and 81 per cent not accurately
classified.
Apparently when a man and woman are crazy
enough about each other to get married, that is
usually the full extent of their lunacy The storms
and stress Of married life apparently do not 60

some day. Judith had ploddcd
through her classes, unable to con-
jure up the needed enthusiasm to
make them interesting.
Eric came in for his share of her
displcasure. when he was asked to
translate . passage that contained
three obscure gcrundivcs. He had to
rclinquish it to Miss Reascy.
When the bell rang, Judith cleared
her desk and made ready to leave.
She had fallen into the college habit
of going hatless about the town; but
she had Il sweater and bright
scarf.
The home of Dean Brown was in
Avon place, directly west across
town from College road. Judith left
the campus and took the western
path. Leaves were coming down at
every gust of wind, and she found q
childish pleasure in kicking them
along tho path ahead of her.

ers. A bowl of bitterswcet stood on
the table.
Mrs. Brown notioned her guest to
a deep chair by the fire. Judith saw
that she was wearing q simple black
dress, open at the throat. Her hair
was dressed in the extreme of SIM
plicity and her hands were ringless.
Suddenly she turned to Judith.
Lets not beat about the bush. What
are you going to do about it. Miss

"Why. don't know what" be-
Gan Judith. But the deans wife
waved the protest aside.
"You do know what mean. What

"Well," replied Judith, slowly, Il

Making all allowances that should be made for

been small the aggregate loss has been great, TO:
in Missouri alone there have been forty three fail
urcs this year. Also the gravity of financial loss
IS not necessarily in the amount lost. A few hun

Since then congress decided land adj

the observatory Is fortunate in pos
sessing suitable ana protected site
for its obseryational work now and III
the future.
Lowell with his characteristic
energy and despatch secured large
telescope, then fortunately in the
hands of its maker, and soon had the
observatory in operation. This IN
strument of 19-inch aperture he used
for two years, while his order for a
much larger telescope of the high
est possible quality was being exc
cuted by Alvan Clark & Sons, the
worlds greatest telescope makers.
Good fortune accompanied this tele-

comets and nebulae.
a llltle later he secured pOWellul
spectroscopic equipment for use in
the chemical analysis of the light of
stars. Then in 1909 he installed the
great 42-inch reflecting telescope
made also by the Clarks. These con-
stitute the important pieces of the
observatory's equipment, but a num-
Der of smaller instruments and much
auxiliary apparatus has been added
as the course of research indicated
their need.
When new problems arose or new
lines Of attacking old ones were found
Lowell was eager to get any new
equipment that promised to be useful.
In all cases he insisted upon having
the best apparatus that could be
made.
