 The fight on the resolution recom- men1ine an aviation dapartmcnt turned simply on the question Of whether the immediate organization of such department he recom- mended or whether it be recom- mCnded for organization "as soon as warranted" These latter words which were included in the resolu- tion of the committee were object cd 10 by a number Of delegates who hdl1 that if tho department were ncelcd fl should he organized al once.
 As eventually adopted, the recom- mendation contained the words "as soon as warranted"
 Former Governor TcCovorn of Wisconsin was the leader of those opposing uso of the words "as soon as warranted" introducing an amendment striking them from the recommendation

er, thus disproving another err
roneous impression that farms in
the older areas of the United
States in general have become worn
out. In the case of corn, Virginia,
Maryland, the New England states
Iowa and Minnesota are named as
states recording gains of from six
to IA bushels in the average yields
per acre. Mr.. Weitz concludes that
in the course of time, as the farm
ing communities become accustom-
ed to the possibilities of their
fields. develop suitable strains of
plants, learn profitable use of fer
tilizers and wise crop rotations,
that acre yields in the humid
northwestern portions of the U. S.
may approach the present stand
ards in northwestern Europe. In
the dryer sections of the u. S. the
acre yield will be limited necessar-
lily by the moisture available to the
crops.
The above article should be read
rather carefully and the point
clearly gotten that if the farmer
maintains a real system of soil
building, that their farm should
become more profitable as time
goes on.

EGG PRODUCTION

The goal of egg production for
the we'll posted poultryman who is
handling the project from the
standpoint of commercial egg pro-
duction is flock coming into lay
ing at five and a half to six months
of age with a production of a few
peewee eggs, comparatively
small percentage of pullet eggs
and the flock laying largely stand
ards. at least by the time they are
six and half to seven months old.
This goal should be kept clearly
in mind as guide in the handling
of the flock from baby chicks un-
til they are ready for the laying
house. We are finding that too

to remember in nine lessons"
c. B. Hamley illustrated to the assembly

applying mental attention to given objects
and numbers in such manner to be able
to recall long list of them at any given mo-

Judging from the enthusiastic applause when

Here's where | get a good class" So he Of
fered US nine lessons at fifty cents per lesson
in which he planned to teach us to just give
little mental attention to our lessons, and we
would have them down pat.
Here was chance for the Latin students to
get their vocabularies in five minutes, the short
hand students would have more time to chew
their pencils, and the chemistry class would
lose time in looking up valences.
At eleven o'clock. Friday morning, group
stood around the library door, watching eagerly
to see who would enter the first class; who was
going to learn, in nine lessons by applying the
very principles that our teachers have been re-
peating over and over for many years-how to
remember.
Soon they started fling in, one at time.
Expectancy was written on their faces. AS they
stood before the great wizard; clutching their
shining half dollars, from which they would
soon be parted, they wondered would he be
pleased with their ability? would they really
be able to remember? Oh, surely! Hadn't they
remembered over night that No. % was "dic-
tionary' and No. II was "basket" and even the
one where the great master-rememberer fell
down-No. H. thermostat. Yes, there was prob
ably some hope.

out but the expert found that class of seven
was too small for him to bother with, So the

The ability to speak in public plus thinking
capacity is the basis of successful debate.
In order to make others understand US, we
, must first understand ourselves cat the base
of all discourse there is an idea" The idea
proceeds the thought, which is the sequence
consistent with it's analysis. We emit an idea
before thinking what it is worth. To give
birth to a common-sense idea that is new and
can endure discussion, should be the ambition
of every debator. However, we must not
forget that this idea can only have it's whole
value when it is separated from the mass of
divergent thoughts which will not fail to weak
EN- its superiority.
Speech. says Xanthes ssis the most eff
fective instrument of those who do not ignore
the power of it's influence" Neither the most
perfect reasoning nor the greatest eloquence
can long hold the attention of audience,
if the diversity of the controversy does not
arouse enthusiasm Speech, must be studied
most attentively and we must be embued with
it in a definite manner.
1t is not only the rostrum and at public
gatherings that the art of speech should be
revealed. The ability to speak is of indisput-
able value when it is applied to the thousand
and one conditions of daily lfe in which the
need of producing connection is allied to the
desire of sustaining, yes, even OF reprlmandlng
others.
In modern society in which few places
are at our disposal, relative to the number OF
candidates who count them, facility of speech
has become necessity.
It is by speech that we shall succeed in COM
batting mental weakness, by substituting for
it the power of the will, and creator of strong
resolutions By cultivating the art of speech
we shall succeed quickly in charging the field
of the intelligence, because we shall under
stand how to become accustomed, little by
little. to the pruning of parasitic thoughts so
as to permit the initial thought triumph.
Speach and thought combined in efficient
manner is the highest aim of debators.

Crop Yields in u. S. Show Farms
Are Not Wearing Out

In American experience, new
farming regions are likely to be
characterized for a generation or
two by methods of agriculture
which result in gradually reducing
yields. The average pioneer is. not
a good farmer, not because he does
not want to be but partly because
he has not the experience and
knowledge of his farm and it's po-
tentialities in crops under the me-
thods proven best by time and
trial, and partly because the a.
bundance and cheapness of land
in newly developed regions is not
favorable to intensive methods OF
utilization or careful outstanding
of soil resources. Only after this
period is past, does agriculture In
such regions attain a stage OF de-
velopment characterized by in
creasing yields per acre.
This, substantially, is the con-
clusion of B. o. .Weitz. of the bu-
reau of agriculture economies. u.
S. Dept. Of Ag. He supporst this
with facts that fly in the face OF
the common belief that crop yields
per acre have been declining as the
virgin fertility of the fields has
been exhausted. Department sta
tistics show that in 40 years the
combined acreage of corn, wheat,
oats and potatoes has been expand
ed about 81 per cent. The total pro-
Iduction of these four crops has in
creased ~ per cent. This means
that a third of the increased pro-
duction is the result of a better
yield per acre.
Again, contrary. to common be-
lief, he finds the figures show that
most of the increases in acre yields
have occurred in the older farming
regions east of the Mississippi riv-
