DAIRYING Is A DE.
PENDABLE BUSINESS
By DR.. John NJ. EKHard


Not long since, my colleague Pro-
fessor Weaver, head of the Depart
ment of Dairying is one of our lead
ing midwest agricultural colleges,
and the writer had long talk on
the "Dependability of Dairying;" out
of that conference grew the follow
ing paragraphs which express our
mutual ideas. ....
The "dependability of dairying"
attracts many of the most sound and
more substantial farmers to the en-
terprise. They perceive that some
other activity will prove far more
profitable in certain year or short
series of years but may, ON occa-
sions, prove a complete failure, so
they abide by their choice of dairy
ing regardless of the extra hours re-
quired and consistent daily devotion
to its duties. Dairying, generally,
and relatively speaking, is not given
to Sudden fluctuations in returns"
Those who continuously vacillate
lin" and ''out" of the business are
axiom not only holds true for near
ly all agricultural enterprises, but
also applies with especial emphasis
to dairy farming.
While dependability, as an advant-
age for dairying, has attracted some,
it is doubtful if the vast majority of
farmers have been enticed into
dairying by this tempting lure. HUI
man psychology is such that repend-
abiIifu and afaadinaoo in on anfar-
prise is not nearly so fascinating to
most men as is a brilliant promise
even though transitory. Men like to
picture a bright experience as a
typical one Dairying does not Of
fer any particularly scintillating
promises, but it offers consistent
hope of reward-and it provides the
opportunity to gain weekly cash.
The town bankers interest in
dairying hinges to quite an extent
on the cash deper liability of dairy
ing; his patrons usually incur no
alarminsly large obligations, and
they meet the moderate demands for
the family food, clothing, etc. that
confront them.
The dairyman receives his milk or
cream checks in a quite steady
amount and at ntervals-weekly,
twice a month, or monthly; this is
an effective advantage of dairying,
The dairyman can pay his grocer,
hardware man, feed man or doctor;
he does not have "to be carried on
the books" for prolonged periods. 1t
is obviously understandable as to
why city merchants and professional |
men endorse and boost dairying !
often with much ado.

FELLOWSHIP CLASS NEWS

On August 18th 20 members of the
Fellowship Bible Glass met at the
M. E. Church, where through the
kindness of Mr.. Carpenter, his bus
awaited them to take them to Reho-
both Beach. On arriving at Shaw's
Park the tables were prepared by
Mrs. Num- and merbers of the class.
Plenty of fried chicken, potato salad,
pickles, biscuits, cantaloupes and
watermellons were served and en-
joyed by all. Every one was in a
happy mood and much jolliety was
given forth by all. After dinner we
again scrambled into the bus. This
time to call ON Mrs. Reid, president
of our class. She was surprised and
happy to see us. We then walked
to the beach. No one returned into
the water except Miss Lydia Alb
bott, but a jolly time was had on
the board walk, where everyone was
refreshed by the ocean breeze.
Miss Nan Deputy had the misfor-
tune to lose her pocketbook. This
also was the date of her birthday.
The class had much pleasure in
going through the stores deciding
on a birthday gift, we all decided
a pocketbook would be the most ac-
ceptable to replace the one she had
lost. This was presented to her by
Mrs. Num-, our teacher. After sup
per at Shaw's Park, Miss Deputy
was much pleased with her gift and
made an appropriate speech. One
member, DR.. Gregorius, who is very
busy with her work, joined us later.
Picnics seem to be quite a hobby
with the class this year. This is
the third one.

THE MOTORISTS WHO
TAKE CHANCES

You see them on streets and high
ways every day-motOrists who take
chances.
You see them turning corners at
high speeds. Or stealing another
cars right of way. Or passing on
hills and curves. Or driving on the
wrong side of the road. Or cutting
in and out of thick traffic. Or COM
ing roaring into intersections and
road functions without looking to
either side. Or operating at speeds
which are obviously higher than are
safe under driving conditions of the
moment. And, every once in a
while, you see such motorist cause
an accident. Perhaps there is little
damage done. Or perhaps a life is
lost and valuable property is need
lessly destroyed.
The reckless motorist comprises
ten per cent or less of the driving
population. But he causes ninety
per cent of the accidents. If the
reckless drivers simply injured each
other &c wouldn't be particularly
important to the rest of us. But
they seldom do that-they aim and
kill the careful, the competent, the
prudent. And you never know who's
going to be next.
This year about thirty thousand
people are going to be killed because
someone was careless, reckless, dis
courtsous. Not one of a thousand
of those deaths is really due to an
accident-an occur
renee which is almost as rare as
the dodo. They can all be prevent
ed And they will be when there is
a concerted public drive against
those who make places of carnage
out of public highways.

since from a distance they appear

The disease is perpetuated by af-

in their tissues. These fruiting bod

about the time new leaves are form

COMMUNICATION

Editor of the Milford Chronicle,
Milford, Delaware.
Dear Sir:
There appears to be no respect for
state laws against dogs running at
large. The writer, for one, thinks it
is an injustice to owners who keep
their animals under control, say
nothing of their dogs suffering by
being confined, while other dogs
wander and destroy gardens and
make sleeping well-nigh impossible.
Also can no city ordinance be
brought to bear against property
owners who allow the disfiguration
of our streets by such healthy crops
of weeds?

50 - by Mrs. Jas. P. Pierce
and NJ. Haswell Pierce. They,
however, had time before hand
to enjo the beauty of this unus-
ual and rare plant. Mrs. Pierce
describes it as a slender vine,
with a purple and white bloom
of about two and a half or three
inches in diameter. Mr.. Pierce
looked up the Significance of the
bloom and describes it thus.
The Passion Flower derives its
name in this fashion: three
nails of the Cross are repre-
sented in the flower by the sta
mems, the five anthers in the
center beneath the stamens,
the fine wounds of the Crucifix-
ion, and the corolla is the crown
of thorns. The ten outer petals
signify the apostles with the ex-
ception of Peter, who denied
and of Judas who betrayed the
Lord. This brings to mind the
Night blooming Cereus, which
has been interpreted as repre-
senting the Nativity. Miss Cora
Trice each year invites friends
and neighbors to see the unfold
ing of this plant in her yard.
