Group without Virginia

deeper South and in Tennessee,
may have had something to do
with it. The list of the institu-
tions suggested for the timer
conference" includes neither
Tennessee nor Virginia. Why?
| Nobody seems to know. In fact,
nobody seems to be able to give
any convincing or even plausible
reason why the new grouping
was suggested, anyway.
The proposed group, as pub
lished, includes Vanderbilt, Ken
lucky, Florida, Auburn, Georgia.
Tulane, Georgia Tech, and North
Carolina. Just why these should
form a special alliance does not
appear. For example: why
should Florida and Kentucky be
classedr together rather than
Tennessee and Kentucky? Why
Auburn and North Carolina
rather than North Carolina and
Virginia? On the face of it,
there is an element of absurdity
in such a grouping.
1t has been said that the
motive back of the proposal is
to have a group committed to
higher eligibility requirements.
Why, then, should Virginia oe
omitted? The pretense is ridi-
culed by William H. Wranek.
Jr., writing from Charlottes-
Vile In a, communication to
the News aud Obserrer he
writes:
at is difficult to take serious
ly the statement that the reason
for the formation of Big Ten
eight so far named, but two
expected to be added the
need of stricter eligibility re-
quirements, especially as sev
eral of the members of the South
ern Conference not named in the
proposed organization have con-
siderably tighter regulations as
to college entrance and passing
and as to athletic participation,
than some of those named. The
much discussed Carnegie Foun-
dation Bulletin No. % pointed an
accusing finger at four of the
eight already named, and
charged them with recruiting
and subsidizing athletes.
Football overshadows all 9th
er sports at most of these eight
schools. Tulane at one end of
the group and North Carolina at
the other have balanced athletic
programs, but this is not true of
most of those in between. North
Carolina is the only one sponsor
ing wrestling Only Georgia
and Georgia Tech have lacrosse.
Half of them do not have inter
collegiate boxing or swimming
or golf. Tennessee (not one of
the eight though likely to be in
the TenD though undefeated in
football, does not even have a
baseball team.
"The inferior quality of much
of their athletic endeavors Off
the gridiron is shown by the fact
that most of the team champion
ships officially played off under
the Conference supervision have
been won with fair regularity by
members of the South Atlantic
group"
| (Mr. Wranek uses the term
South Atlantic as descriptive of
the states of Virginia, North
Carolina, and Georgia.)

SCHOOL SAVINGS BANK
ING MOVEMENT REACHES
IMPRESSIVE PROPORTIONS

Almost $4,000 OF Americas schools
now have school savings banking
plans in operation, and about four
million pupils are learning systematic
savings through this type OF thrift,
with deposits in excess Of $26,000,000
recent reports OF the American Bank

sion show. The schools included In
the reports are attended by 4,609,S25
pupils, OF whom 3,9S0,237 are partici.
pants in the school savings banking
plans as depositors. During the year
these pupils received interest in the
amount Of $947,610 on their deposits.
The reports gathered by the associ-
alton also show that there are 33 cit
les In the United States in which q
full 100 per cent OF the grammar
school enrolment Is participating in
school savings banking. The figures
covering high schools show that in Al
cities 100 per cent Of the attendance
in this class are school savers.

Business Requires an open Mind

Second, among the essentials for
sound thinking would write down an

ing our minds from the influence of
tradition. Let us think also without
prejudice Of personal feelings, de.
sires or consequence. Let us seek
only the truth. Mere surface reason
ing must be discounted. Old "cants"
and "don'ts" must be thrown into the
discard. A man who has an open
mind will do a great many things be-
cause he doesn't know they can't be
done.
The third essential to sound think.
ing is knowledge-a thorough, com.
prehensive understanding Of all the
factors involved in a problem. 1t has
been said that most problems answer
themselves when the facts have been
gathered. A we'll known student and

tain minds this procedure comes natu
rally; to others training in the solu.
ton Of complicated problems points
the way out.
The Time for Action
Fifth among the essentials of sound
thinking is the power to apply. A few
individuals have minds that travel at
random or in circles. Some have
minds that even refuse to bulge. But
there are still others who naturally or
through training have minds that can
be directed straight through to the
practical application Of their thoughts.
They refuse to compromise or to be
thwarted in purpose before definite
application of their IDEAS has been
achieved.
1t is possible, | believe, for young
people to train themselves to an in.
quisitive attitude, an open mind and
the ability to classify and interpret
material step by step from the begin.
ming of problem to its final solution
and application. Here, then, is the
thought would leave--the paramount
need of business Is sound thinking
Some may think have overstated the
case, have set too high standard.
They may feel that they are merely
cogs in a machine. That. too, is a
part OF the problem. The only way to
solve that is to find time and place In
the days work for thinking.

SOIL MANAGEMENT IN THE
ORCHARD

After study of many orchards
i'll the County and the gathering of
information from as many sources az
possible we are inclined to believe
that the following program for soil
management would be productive of
the best physical conditions of the
soil as well as soil fertility, as any
that could be followed. There seems
to be no crop which provides the
physical affect to the soil like sweet
clover. This is undoubtedly due to
the depth of the roots and breaking
down after two seasons of growth,
thus permitting air and water to
penetrate the soil thoroughly and to
considerable depth. We would rec.
ommend first then for many Of the
orchards having poor cover crops,
year of clean cultivation to get rid of
many weeds and to locate any serious
perennial weeds in the orchard. This
should then be followed by two years
Of sweet clover followed by clean
cultivation for one year and this
by four or five years of alfalfa.
With the one year of clean cultiva-
ton between the two crops one will
have an opportunity to treat serious
perennial weeds which may be get
ting started in the orchard as well
as locating these which in many
cases is just as important as the
treatment. 1t has been our observa-
ton that there are too many orchards
with quack grass becoming a real
menace to them and many farmers
not realizing that this weed was
gradually increasing upon the farm.
With a program of regular cover
crops such as suggested above one
would undoubtedly decrease the
amount of nitrogen which one would
need to apply in the way Of conf
mercial fertilizers or manure. Remem-
Der that nitrogen is the element which
makes the commercial fertilizer 50
expensive.
Directions for seeding and securing
stands of sweet clover and alfalfa
can be secured through bulletins
from the County Agents office. Not
less than rs pounds of sweet clover
should be seeded per acre.
