mands on labor when other crops, bringing
higher returns, require the most attention
Liberal application of 2-S-1O FERTILIZER will
help Delmarva farmers to produce the corn
they need on half the acreage now employed.
Thus, the labor of cultivating corn can be
cut in half, releasing labor and acreage for
other important farming operations.
If you apply manure to your land or grow
leeume in your rotation, use 400 pounds
Of 2-S-1O fertilizer per acre broadcast before

Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE W. SPROwLS.
PLANT PSYCHOLOGY

PLANT PSYCHOLOGY
rs THERE plant psychology?
Do plants have souls, minds, or
whatever it Is that makes psy-
Il chology what it is?
This question seems to have been
an urgent one about IS years ago. Sir
G. H. Darwin, a noted English scien-
tist, said that plants developed habits,
had memory and something that re-
sembled moods. Prof. Francis Darwin
declared that plants had conscious
ness of feeble sort, and that 1t was
the same variety as that which every
human being knows he has. Prof.
Harold Wagner, another noted Eng
lish scholar, demonstrated that plants
possess what pass for eyes in animals
and men. This he thought implied
mind. DR.. Laloy, librarian of the
Academy of Sciences, said that many
of the smaller organisms have no
more intelligence than plants"
II you want to believe that plants
have souls, minds, or whatever 1t is,
you must figure 1t out by analogy, just
as did the four authorities cited. And
you do it this way: Plants are sensi-
tive That is, they possess rudi-
mentary nervous systems. Anything
with a nervous system can be irri-
tated by other things in the environ
ment. Plants also possess the power
to respond to their irritations. You
notice this clearly in the case Of q

She smiled sadly.
Tell me more about this select home

about her before. How do you know
she'll be waiting there when you come

His gaze was fixed on the lake and
he did not see the fringe Of dampness

His companion snorted quietly TO

He whirled angrily. That's not
true! She's always loved music as
much as I have. even If she didn't

platform with me and said she'd never

At the sound of that voice Reddy

changed to chagrin. There was no

that he loves. No, indeed. He

Farmer Browns Boy was fishing. A

Farmer Browns Boy was fishing in

and evidently some of his family with

listen. He long ago found out that
he could learn many things by lis
tening.
Now what's that black rascal

himself. Il may not know Crow talk,
but I do know something Of the
meaning of the different sounds.

So Farmer Browns Boy stood his

toward that pine grove. He moved

DieteticS in
Brief Given
AS Guide
Outlining Safe and
Sane Reducing
Regime.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

A 8 we have said in previous ar
tieles, with q knowledge OF the
basic principles, any one can under
take q safe reducing regime. First
rule of all is, of course, see your doc
tor before attempting to reduce. With
out his approval it Is folly TO proceed.
With IL, there Is a double reward.
First. the knowledge that you are
healthy and can undertake a reducing
program. Second, the knowledge that
you are on the right track, for he will
undoubtedly get you of to good
start.
That done, 1t is well to know the
essential food elements, calory values
and general principles Of diet for you
can follow instructions that much
more intelligently. Then, too. most
diets permit a certain amount OF fex-
ibility and with some knowledge OF
food elements and values one can
make substitutions with q fair de-
gree of accuracy.
The essential elements which con-
stitute food are carbohydrates (the
sugars, starcheS; fats (oils); protein
dean meat; minerals dron. calcium,
salD; undigestible products which
serve to increase the bulk of the food
mass as it passes through the intes-
tines (fibres of various vegetables such
as cabbage, celery and vitamins
chemicals necessary for proper be-
havior of body functions).
The carbohydrates are primarily
used as fuel to provide energy.
Fat is primarily used as fuel to pro-
vide energy.
Protein may be used as fuel but Is
chiefly important TO be used to repair
muscle tissue, which Is used up in
every day wear and tear
Vitamins-chemicals for special
functions such as condition Of eyes,
mucous membranes. resistance to in
fections. and so on. The minerals are
used for bones. teeth, and sc en-
Since we know the food elements
and the uses they cover. let us see
which OF these elements the reducing
| diet needs and why. The obese body
contains high percentage of fat and
is practically normal in all other re-
spects. except possibly a higher salt
content than usual Therefore the
diet should satisfy certain logical prin-
ciples.
In the first place. since for all prsc-
tical purposes there Is no excess of
vitamins or minerals in the obese body.
these must be supplied in normal
amounts. Salt. however. should be
moderately restricted. because a high
salt level tends to hold water in the
tissues.
Second. there, must be enough
roughage to stimulate the inteStines to
proper action.
Third, there must be suficient pro-
tein supplied in the food to make good
the daily loss in the protein of the
body's muscles.
Fourth. as the purpose Of a re-
ducing regime is to get rid of fat
it logically follows that fat should bt
supplied in small amounts only. II
may even be eliminated so that il
body needs more fat for fuel it viii
draw upon its reserves. Carbohydrates
should be restricted, but not elimi-
mated. We will soon see why.
