What Moscow Thinks

In Soviet eyes. japanese action in
Manchuria has the appearance of a
carefully prepared plan of imperialist
aggression to achieve for Japan domi-
nance over Northern China, rather
than an attempt to safeguard Japa-
nese rights. The first mysterious
explosion in Mukden, September 18.
1881, was like the bursting of a dam
which released japanese forces to
roll methodically not over Manchuria
alone but over Jehol and Inner
Mongolia.
Despite early assertions that Japa-
nese troop movements would be
strictly limited, their forces continued
to advance as though according to a
systematic plan, which involved the
virtual seizure of the Chinese Eastern
Railroad, partly owned by the Union
OF Soviet Socialist Republics. and this
has now placed the Japanese in a
position to threaten both the Amur
and maritime territory of the II 6
S. R and the northern part Of China
within the wall, including Peininq
HientSin and Shantung.

BY LAURETTA FANCHER.

~ MOTHERS DAY the little
town of Baxley, Ga, was in
a stew of excitement. A di-
~ minutive woman who had
never before left the bound
aries of her native State, who had
never been anywhere much" was
coming back home from her first visit
to New York-and was bringing with
her the Pulitzer prize for the best
novel of the year.
Caroline Miller was coming home to
her husband, to Little Bill and the
twins, Nip and Tuck; to the people
whose lives she had woven into her
novel. And 1000 of those people,
nearly the whole toWn-were there to
welcome her.
They bundled her into an oxcart
like the one used by the heroine OF
Lamb in His Bosom" and they pa
raded with her to her home. And to
the woman who has grown a little
wearied by the trials of successful

literary teas"-this tribute from her
own people was something new and
genuine. For once" she told them,
Il simply can't make a speech"
Caroline Miller looks like every
Northerner's ideal of Southern girl.
Charm Is her middle name Petite,
appealing. with huge brown eyes
which crinkle when she smiles (the
crinkles run down her noSe), red
brown hair bobbed and loosely waved,
she does not look like the writer of
books. You wonder how in the world
this childlike creature could write a
book of such maturity. But that Is
the first impression.
When you talk with her alone she
is serious, alert, responsive and
charmingly reticent about anything
that matters. Except for an occa-
sional flash.
Not Her First.
Lamb in His Bosom" is the first
novel Mrs. Miller has published, but
not the first she has written. That
now resides in her trunk. When she
had finished laboring over the first
child, she wondered how she. an un-
known school teachers wife down In
Georgia, could ever hope to get 1t pub

had made good, two-line note, the
gist of which was, How on earth do
you get a manuscript placed?" Mrs.
Peterkin sent the name Of her agent.
Caroline Miller wrote him a note
saying that she had "a piece of manu-
script and no money. Would he care
to see the former, with no expectation
of the latter?" He replied courteously.
but with slightly bored tone" that
he would be happy to see her book.
A few weeks later the manuscript
came back with polite regrets, sem
tence after sentence telling why
it was not marketable. but ending
with the words, I'm spite of these
faults. there is evidence that you can
write"
whereupon Mrs. Miller proceeded to
write another book, sent 1t to the
agent, saying, "Just for fun, send 1t
to Harpers first" So they sent it to
Harper's first.

Associate Dean of Columbia College
NY one connected with the ad-
n ministration of an American
II college would be sadly mis-
i guided If he presumed that
he understood everything that
undergraduates think. The notions
that seize students, individually and
collectively, are likely to be just as
startling and as inexplicable as some
of their actions, and in these days OF
individualism in education 1t does not
take a freshman long to acquire ex-
pertness in surprising and battling his
teachers, to say nothing Of his family
and sometimes himself.
The attitudes and reactions of stu
dents toward the march OF events
within the country during the last
four years have followed a certain
pattern, however, and have been dis
tinguished by certain common charac-
teristics that are apparent to people
in a position to observe them in true
focus. These common characteristics
have manifested themselves mainly in
the class room. in individual confer
ences regarding personal and college
problems and in the student publica-
tions. The common attitude thus pre-
sented has been a steadily changing
and developing one, and its evolution

Service.
Damage from dust storms, which
proved so devastating to young alfalfa
seedlings in some sections, can be prac-
tically eliminated IL oats Is sown as a
nurse crop with the new alfalfa seed
ings this fall
Largely as a result Of the poor
stands of forage caused by the drouth
and the provisions Of the AAA pro-
grams, it is anticipated that an excep-
tionally large acreage of alfalfa will
be seeded during the next few weeks.
An appreciate amount of these seed
ings will be on sandy or light wind.
blown soils which are subject to wind
erosion capable of running seedlings
made during the latter part of the
summer.
Tests at the Oquawka soil expert
ment field, maintained in Henderson
county by the University of Illinois
College Of Agriculture, show that this
damage may be largely done away
with by the use of oats as a combi-
nation nurse and cover crop for fall
seeded alfalfa on sandy land. Obser-
vations made at the Oquawka field dis
closed no damage to alfalfa seeded
last fall where surrounded by good
oats growth. However, a few feet
away where no oats had grown the
alfalfa was either badly damaged or
entirely killed by the wind-blown sand.
In a larger unprotected area on the
field, sand had drifted several inches
deep, completely burying a strip Of
bluegrass.
In addition to preventing the move
ment of the soil by high winds, oats
sown as a nurse crop with alfalfa this
fall supplies at least three other adj
vantages. Grasshoppers prefer the
oats to the young alfalfa plants and
thus are not so likely to feed upon
the legume; oats is less of competi-
tive companion for the alfalfa than
weeds would be, and oats aids in pro-
tecting the alfalfa against the winter
cold.

Give Pastures Start

Good pastures are an asset to any
farm, and particularly to good live
stock farm. Many farmers damage
their pastures by turning stock on
them during the early days of spring.
The ground is usually soft and tramp
ing damages the plants. The worst
damage, however. comes through close
grazing of the young plants before
they have chance to get started.
Plants require a reasonable top growth
In order that their roots become firmly
established. The young, tender grass
of early spring does not have as much
nutritiye value as it will have few
weeks later. 1t is best for the live
stock and much the best for pastures
if they are given a chance to get
a good start.

Sweet Glover Hay Rated
High in Minnesota Tests

Steers will fatten practically as well
on sweet clover hay as on alfalfa Of
similar quality, according to Minnesota
experiment station trials recently COM
pleted. Other university farm trials
showed that the two kinds of hay
were about equal also for winter beef
cows and heifers. Trials have given
like results with lambs.
Cutting the cured sweet clover with
an ensilage cutter was found advis-
able for cattle feeding but there was
no apparent advantage in cutting it
for fattening lambs. Fine grinding of
roughage makes the feed too expen-
sive for cattle.
Cut corn fodder also was found a
fairly satisfactory roughage for dry
beef cows and heifers, when fed in
limited quantities with corn silage and
cut sweet clover hay and when fed
with shelled corn to fattening lambs.
The heifers lost some flesh on ration
of roughage only, and it was found
necessary to add little grain to keep
them gaining. Adding linseed meal to
the lamb ration of shelled corn and
cut. corn fodder improved it slightly
but decreased the feeding profit.
Prairie hay, even though of excel
lent quality and supplemented with
linseed meal and limestone, proved an
unsatisfactory roughage for fattening
yearling steer calves and lambs.

Use Planes to Fight Hoppers

The adoption of airplanes to fight
grasshoppers is another illustration Of
the resourcefulness of the western
Canada farmer. Spreading of poison
for grasshoppers has been so success
full in one or two areas in southern
Alberta that it will probably be adopt
ed as regular method in future. The
planes were used In flying at 1OO-feet
elevation, using four pounds of bait tc
the acre. The cost per section was
So to $40, and the distribution thinly
and evenly done, and so effective,
with the use of oiled bait, that hoppers
were still dying week after the bait
was spread.
