lNHEN DOES SPRLNG REGINi

According 10 the almanac, spring
begins March 21. when the sun
crosses the equinoctial line.
But some of us say that spring
begins at different times in differ
ent places. according to climate. and
earlier some years than others.
The popular tradition has il that
March, April, and May are the
spring months. Spring is the revival
of nature, and it should begin when
the signs of this revival become APP
parent. They are apparent in most
latitudes by March /. The high sun
brings its CHEEKY rays to tighten UP
the dark shadows of winter, the
buds begin to break forth. bird
songs are heard over the greater
part of the land. Old Winter Occa-
sionally appears at that time and
gives us another lash with hts stor-
my tail, but that does not abolish
the actual reality that Spring is
here.

WHEN SHALL WE. FIGHT!

The Literary Digest has been TAX
ing a poll of the sentiment OF stu
dents in lis collagcs and universi-
ties. ON questions relating to war
and fighting. These students were
asked if they would bear arms il the
United States was invaded, also if
they would do so if the United States
invaded another country.
Pacifist sentiment and hatred OF
war are growing. But So per cent
OF those who answered the Literary
Digest questions would fight il our
country was invaded. However 50
per cent would not fight if it came
to invading some other country.
There will be no lack of patriotic
self sacrifice. should some country
ever attempt to set its heel on our
shores. But sentiment is overwhelm-
ingly against sending armed forces
to other lands. If the government
ever proposed to send an army to
Europe again. it would probably be
thrown out of Office the moment the
voters got a chance at il.
This poll may Indicate a strong
feeling against sending soldiers into
the little countries Of tropical Amer
lea. to straighten out their tangled
affairs. These boys who will not
fight If asked to invade any other
country. would not probably feel
like creating the i'll feeling caused
by sending troops into foreign cOun-
tries. except possibly to protect the
lives of our citizens.
The United States proposes to take
care of its own territory and de-
fond that to the last ditch As no
other country shows the least dis
position to attack us. the chances
OF having to do any such fighting are
very remote. Also our people in
tend to make no threats and use no
force to compel the other nations of
the world to settle their troubles.
II that policy is adhered to. the
chances Of getting into another war
are very slight.

rAnrRES or GOYERNMENT

Ex-Gov. Winant of New Hamp-
shire spoke in a recent address of
how the American people had ac-
complished marvels in scientific and
technical fields. but had shown less
genius for government. Only min
ority Of people have interested them
selves in political and social mat
tcrs. ne said.
1t seems strange that the dcscen-
dants of the splendid men and wo-
men who built up our wonderful
country. haven't genius enough to
run il right. They think it more im-
purtant to go to some sporting event
or attend to some little matter Of
private business. than it is to spend
time OH the affairs of the govern
ment. So far as they act that way.
the genius they possess is just
waste brain power Our people have
the brains, but they don't apply
them in the right place.

THE GOLD CASES AND BUSINESS

lHE WUIsD N4ADGo AANO DObAN HsJl
Opinions differ sharply as to the
propriety of the action which the
government took in voiding its gold
payment contracts on bonds. But
there is no doubt that the decision
of the Supreme Court in settlement
of the gold cases will have a stim-
ulating effect on business.
The commercial world can't stand
uncertainties about money. If peo-
pie don't know how much the dollar
is going to be worth. they hate to
let the dollar out Of their sight.
They are slow about buying mate
rials. employing labor, producing
goods. The dollar received for the
finished product might be of differ
ent value from the one they pro-
duced the merchandise with. Hence
these decisions, however people feel
about them, will stimulate trade. be-
cause it is evident that the dollar
received for the goods will be Of
the same value as the dollar paid
out in making them.
The business world has worried
more than people have realized,
about the possible effects of a de-
cision adverse to the government on
this matter 1t was of course made
clear, that If the court condemned
the government and required all
bonds with gold payment clauses to
be paid off in gold at the old value.
then in that case Congress would
act to remedy that difficulty and
prevent people who had invested a
dollars worth of money in a bond
from being paid $1.69.
But even if Congress had thus
acted in such a case, It might have
been cOntended that such proceed
ings were as unconstitutional as the
original act which had been con-
demned.
After two years of uncertainty as
to what money is worth, that factor
is apparently removed from busi-
ness life, and clearing UP this point
should remove one obstacle to pro-
gross.

CONSERVE SEED SUPPLIES
BY SOWING LESS PER ACRE
Make 2 seeds do the work OF 3!
-,his. i.. nErcnl L. Ahn ..l...r-n-Ll... &c

! MAKE 6SGu5 uU lle WoEk OF 81
/ This, in effect, is the suggestion of
DR.. A. J. Pieters, of the United
States Department of Agriculture, to
farmers of the United States who
face the problem of building up a
pasture and hay acreage depleted
by drought, with the shortest seed
supplies on record.
The rate of seeding most grasses
and segumes Usually can be reduc-
ed about one-third, as an emergency
measure, without an appreciable re-
duction in yields, he declares, if
great care is taken IN preparing the
seedbed. He emphasizes the neces-
sity of a firm seedbed and points out
also that drilling is more ecOnomi-
NAL of seed than brOadcasting.
"A good seedbed," says DR.. Pic
ters. lis irm below with about an
inch of loOser soil ON top. Soil
" Which is loose to a depth of 3 or 4
inches is wasteful of seed, because
it will not carry moisture from the
subsoiI when rainfall is light"
Using plenty of seed is preferable
when seed is available. A good
stand gives hay of better quality
and keeps down weeds. The exact
amount of seed to SOW in any To-
cality depends upon local practices
and conditions.
The possibility of making seed go
further, and indications that there
is enough seed of alfalfa. sweet clO-
yer. lespedeza, and sOybeans to take
care of even more than normal
paintings, partially relieves the
acute seed situation as to pasture
and forage crops. A large surplus of
redtOp seed also is reported.
There is believed to be sufficient
bluegrass seed for ordinary farm
usage, but there is not enough seed
for normal paintings Of timothy.
sorgo. millet, Sudan grass, and red
clover Importations Of some Of
these seeds will increase supplies,
but sowing less I'm better seedbeds
will do the most to relieve short
ages. Testing seed for termination
always a good practice-is espe-
cially good business this spring.

REHEADING MOMEN

The idea Of cutting peoples heads
off as a punishment for real or al
legged crimes, seems to belong back
in the dark ages. 1t seems like set
ting back the clock of civilization
some hundreds of years, when We
read that two German women of fa-
nous families were sent to the ex-
ccutioner's block and their heads
cut off. for their alleged crimes in
selling the governments military
secrets.
Outwardly the surface of German
life may seem fairly calm. But one
can imagine that underneath that
surface, there is much seething of
popular sentiment When a govern
ment gets to the point of be heading
women, it is not going to be pOpu-
lar with the sex that is said to have
the worlds destinies i'm its hands.

TRAINING IN THE HOMES

The troubles that our country has
suffered for the past five years, sug-
gest that our civilization has many
defects. We can not look to the gov
ernment at Washington to cure all
these faults. They usually originate
in peoples homes, and can be cur
ed only by some kind of home ac-
tion.
When people grow up dishonest,
inefficient, and indolent, such faults
produce no end of trouble in the
country, and legislation can't cure
them. They must be cured princi-
pally in the homes of the nation,
though the schools can help much.
Parents should get together and con-
slider what they are doing to make
their children honest, industrious,
and efficient. If parents would train
their children intelligently, these
faults would largely disappear.

CAREERS FOR WOMFy

Women should not have to give NJ
o useful career in some business oi
profession in order to get married
according to shella Kaye-smith. ia
nous English novelist who is lee,
turing in this country. She points Il
the women Of France and Italy. who
continue as shOpkeepers and farm
workers after being married.
Unmarried women often feel that
they are subjected to unfair compe-
tition. when married women take
jobs which otherwise might go 10
the unmarried. II is claimed that the
married woman's husband should
support her. and leave the first
chance in the business field to the
unmarried ones, who must look out
for themselves.
The demands of modern life are
severe, and it costs a great deal to
provide decent comforts and neces-
stiles. so the average man is hardly
able to do all these things alone. II
in addition he has misfortune. his
situation becomes doubly difficult
He needs the help of his wife. il she
can give him some aid on money
earning.
1t is vitality necessary TO have
children well brought up. The Older
ideas held that women should stay
in the home and attend to this duty.
But modern facilities have made it
much easier to perform the house,
hold tasks, which removes in part
the necessity that women spend
their entire time at home. The flu
tUre will probably develop plans for
the proper training of children.
which will leave women much freer
to take part in the Industrial and
business world.

GOVERNMENT GOLD BONDS

The decision of the Supreme
Court til the gold payment contract
cases is likely 10 so down in his
tory as very clever and skilful
method of meeting q dilemma of ut
most difficulty. On the one hand it
was asserted that If the government
failed to make good its contract to
pay n gold at the former standard
Of value. il was encouraging tho viO-
lation of contracts. But on the other
hand. it was argued that il the gov
e.nnlent did make GOOD on this con-
tract. the people who had put $1,000
into a bond would get $1,000 Tor it.,
which was clearly contrary to rea-
son and justice.
We used TO hear ahoui the "hoIns
of a dilemma" If any dilemma had
sharper horns than this one, it
would be interesting to have it
pointed out.
The Supreme Court points out in
effect, that the government went be-
yond its powers in failing to make
good on the contract, but that as
people have not been damaged, they
cant collect anything. Apparently
the government owes them SO cents
additional for every dollar invested.
but they can't get it and ought not
to get it.
But how will it be, If the dollar is
still further cheapened. so that 1t
won't buy as much merchandise as
it did when these bOndholders
bought those bonds? In that case,
they would seemingly have the right
to claim that they had suffered a
damage when they received the
cheapened dollars.
Evidently the government has TO
watch its step, and see to it that in
boosting business and raising prices,
it does not initiate them so lar tLat
these bondholders suffer an actual
loss through the change Of money
standard. There will be many other
warnings too, that price raising has
its sharp limits. Many people recall
the drastic buyers strike Of 1929
and 1921, when people all over the
country stopped buying because oi
their anger at the cost Of living.

TWO YEARS UNDER ROOSEVELT

President Roosevelt completes
March two years of his admins
tration. They have been trying
years. 1t is well to lay aside our
partisan preferences and convic-
tions for a moment, and see what
we all as Americans can agree upon
in regard to these two years.
1t has been a period of great
stress and strain for the heads Of
the government We can all sympa-
thize with the terrible pressure to
which they have been subjected. The
wise men have flooded the Offices of
the government with their views,
and sometimes it seems as if the
wise men weren't any wiser than
the average person.
Many people who are far from
wise have offered their solutions.
Does anyone know how many thou
sands of plans for restoring pros
perity have been offered? 1t must
run far up into the tens of thou
sands. and the great majority oil
them have had little or no merit. II
has been a tremendous job to give
due consideration to these prOpos-
ais. and sift out those that contain
ed good ideas from the worthless
ones.
The country has certainly not
gone to the dogs as many were
ready to predict when these two
years opened. Always when the
country runs up against difficulties,
there are many prophets of gloom,
who think that the end of the nation
is near, and we are on the verge of
sumc mighty COnvulsiOn. But the
American people have calm way
of keeping their heads.
II will be generally admitted that
there has been a distinct improve
ment in the cOuntry's condition dur
ing these two years. The adherents
of the administration say that is
due to the wise Roosevelt policies,
and the opponents say there would
have been more improvement under
some different leadership. Let us
adjourn that question for now, and
all take hold so far as we can to
make this Improvement still better.
