SPRINGTIM,E

Spring to most persons means flowers
and birds. It took me, I know, many
years of close nature observation to
broaden my mental attitude toward
Spring. But now, little by little, have
come to look for certain harbingers in
quite another Subkingdom.
Whenever, depending from some
twirling oak leaf that has chung on
through the Winter. see q little gray
spider letting herself down to earth. as
though she arrived. like Marian,
from the sky, greet her with as much
pleasure as I hear the FIRST rattle Of
blackbirds from the marsh OF the old
contentment with which discover the
pussy willows in the little thicketS Of
the river bottomlands.
have conquered my horror of spiders
enough to say that the small, indus
triouS. gray fellow who comes forth with
the hrst warm weather is as welcome a
sight as q crocuS.
Half of fear Is ignorance, and only
ignorance once enabled me to fear a
tiny creature who could not possibly
harm me, though could easily harm
her and in my childhood would have
done so. How simple, with the heel,
with a stick, with nick of a finger nail
to crush life out of that busy, clever
little body.

half as much wonderment in the human

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Of the cure. To ask a child to study
while he Is i'll is rnanifestly harmful. =
But by and by the child begins to get
well. Each day he is a bit better He
cannot get abou. to play, he cannot ex-
ert himself much as yet. Now we begin
Offering him some occupation, some
thing interesting to make him forget his
troubles. If he has been very i'll we do
not mention study. We offer him pic
boys like to knit If 1t is their kind Of
knitting.
When the child is able to get about
the house we begin offering him lessons,
little at time. We increase the work
according to his progress toward health.
We try t. have him feel we'll and At in
his mind so that he will not want to
dwell In illness. We do anything we
can to help him fortget he has been ILL.,
That means we do not tell stories of his
escape from the grave where he can
hear them. The less said about illness
the better.
When the child is we'll enough to talk
about school work we visit the teacher
and take stock of the child's position
We plan with the teacher in order to
send the child back to school well UP
with his classes If that is possible. II
1t Is not, If the child must lose the term
because of his illness, let 1t 60 cheer
fully. A healthy child can always make
up terms work. He will take your
attitude toward the matter. so the less
anxiety you show about it the better.
After an illness a child's vision may
be bit weak. Try to preserve his eye
sight, conserve 1t, at this time, without
saying too much about 1t. Watch his
hearing and If there Is any sign OF
slowness there. delay any school work
until the hearing becomes perfectly
normal
Lessons are important, but the health
Of child is far more 50. Consider all
that when next you have sick child
and do not allow your eagerneSs or his
anxiety to force work upon body too

Sick Child's Lessons.

Frequently the teacher gets a request
from home: Please send my child's
lessons home every day. He is sick in
bed. We want to keep up with his
class"
Unless the doctor in charge of the
child indorses such a request we do not
grant it. A sick child cannot study.
Any attempt at it is likely to make a
bad matter worse. Eyes are very SEN
sitive to the condition of the body and
should not be subjected to any strain
when the child is i'll. Study is likely to
cause a rise in temperature and increase
the severity Of the illness. Headache
and other ills are likely to follow in the
train Of such unwise effort
During the illness the child's body
and mind are easily fatigued. The
body Is in need Of rest and a mind free
from worry and responsibility. Rest,
quiet, sleep are always an essential part

TRUCKING BUSINESS
GAINS IN RURAL U. S.
Farmers Increase Use of Automo-
tive Methods in Moving
Their Crops.
BY the Associated press.

BY the Associated Press.
The increased use of automotives In
transporting farm products and its far
reaching effects upon the farm mar
keting system are being studied by the
Agricultural Economics Bureau of the
Department of Agriculture.
The survey tends to determine the
importance of motor truck receipts of
the fruit and vegetable supply in some
of the leading market centers and to
ascertain the volume of truck move
ment as compared with movements by
rail and boat from representative pro-
ducing areas. It will determine also
the situation with regard to the re-
distribution Of produce from the large
market centers TO smaller communities
in their trade areas
Preliminary reports have brought out
that many farmers who formerly hauled
or shipped produce to market centers
now sell direct to itinerant truckmen-
merchants, who buy supplies on spec
ulation and either haul to a consum-
ing market within a two to three hum
bred mile radius or peddle their loads
in small towns or rural districts. 1t Is
claimed their activities have an I'M
settling effect in market centers and
tend to depress prices. Indications are
that in many instances they make it
possible for producers to sell products
of a grade and condition which it would
be impractical to ship by rail.
The department is compiling dairy
motor truck receipts at several markets
to ascertain the volume and sources of
truck-in supplies. An attempt will be
made to estimate approximately the
proportion of truck receipts from mar
ket garden areas formerly hauling
products to market by wagon and to
ascertain the attitude of the wholesale
trade to the trucking business and the
effect of trucking on market conditions

MARYLAND TOMATO CLUB
CONTEST DRAWS MANY

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, August 15.-Enrollment
for 1880 in the Maryland Ten-ton Tomato
Club contest is nearly double that Of
1929 and is by far the largest ever
recorded since the club was started in
1928, according to M. Goodwin, canning
crops specialist for the University of
Maryland extension service. There were
enrolled in 1929 a total of 127 growers,
while a total of 252 have been signed
up for this year, 1t is reported.
Many of the fields at the start Of
the contest looked very promising, but
due to the drought and high tempera-
lures it is feard that the yield will be
reduced materially. Notwithstanding, it
is declared that the tomatoes are stand
ing the extreme weather better than
many other crops.
