The Canny Poet

This peep at Longfellow, as a
business man, is permitted us by
Caroline Ticknor in "Glimpses Of
Authors:
In November, 1855, soon after
"Hiawatha'' had been published
and was selling madly all over
the country, q Boston newspaper
dared to criticize it adversely.
Soon criticisms concerning the
source of "Hiawatha" and &C
cusations of imitation were made
by newspapers from coast to
coast.
Longfellow's publisher, James
T. Fields, was greatly annoyed.
One day, bursting into the poets
study, he exclaimed:
"These atrocious libels must
be stopped"
Longfellow said quietly, "By
the way, Fields, how is 'Hiawa-
thai selling?"
wonderfully! None of your
books has ever had such a SALE"
"Then," said the poet, calmly,
II think we had better let those
people 60 on advertising it."

Two Tons of Roots

Alfalfa improves soil conditions
very rapidly. because Of its huge
root system which penetrates much
more deeply than any other legume.
Alfalfa roots remaining in the soil
increase the hurnus content and
add supplies Of nitrogen and other
plantsfoods. The roots seem to i'm
prove the physical properties of the
soil. This Improvement Is particu-
larry noticeable on heavy soil. The
penetration of the roots into the
subsol permits the entrance of air
and water. DR.. c. J.. Willard of the
Ohio State university found that the
average weight Of alfalfa roots per
acre in six field tests was two tons.
A good crop Of alfalfa will leave 125
pounds of nitrogen, Is pounds of
phosphoric acid and 40 pounds of
potash in the soil. This is about
twice the amount Of plant nutrients
that are contained in q ton of ordi-
nary fertilizer. It is twice as much
plant food as red or Alsike clover
leaves in the soil and ten times as
much as is deposited in the soil by
a crop of soy beans.

BY combining from five to twelve
horses under the management OF one
driver, farmers operating big-team
outfits obtain low cost power rang
ing from 81 cents to lib cents Tor
each work horse hour.
On ordinary horse farms, q work
horse hour costs 10 per cent more
and on tractor farms q per cent
more than on big-teamf farms, based
on q survey Of horse. farms and
tractor farms IN the corn belt.
The big-team operators worked
the largest horses and mules and
averaged the greatest number OF
days of work q head in q year, yet
they cheapeded their horse cost BY
using less grain and more pasture,
1egume hay, straw and cornstaiks.
They turned their work stock out
on pasture at night and on idle days
in summer, and in winter used le-
gume hay to balance stalk fields
and straw stacks to make s~atisfac-
tory maintenance for horses.
In farms studied in the survey,
average amounts fed to q work
horse q year were about $500
pounds Of grain, mostly corn and
oats, and 5000 pounds OF dry rough
age, including considerable straw
and corn slower. In addition the
horses grazed about six months on
grass and stalk fields.

Rumania Bars All Bets,
Except ON Horse Races

Bucharest "A drastic decree,
signed by King Carol, has put an
end to gambling in Rumania.
In Bucharest alone there were no
less than $50 houses where one
could plunge at roulette, baccarat,
poker, dice - any form of betting
was officially authorized, provided
the owners Of the "club" paid their
taxes.
Apart from the gambling houses,
which grew like mushrooms in the
large cities, Rumania's summer
resorts boasted the most elegant
casinos in the Balkans. In short,
Carols kingdom was a gamblers
paradise. -,
To curb the betting mania which
recently gained alarming proper
tons in this country and was the
cause Of numerous suicides and SEN
sational entertainments, parliament
voted unanimously the prohibition
OF gambling-except horse racing
and King Carol signed the decree.

COP HALTS BANDITS
CAR, ScOLDS DRIVER
Learns of $50, 1000 sticlup After
!: It's Too Late.

New York-Escaping from q $780,
900 street holdup, the driver of q
bandit car was halted by q motor
cycle patrolman here today and lee
tured for making an improper turn.
The patrolman, unaware the car
had been used in a bold robbery q
few minutes earlier, gave the driver
ia ticket for failing to renew his
operators license, and permitted
him to continue.
A few moments afterward the po-
liceman learned that the driver was
one of four armed men who held up
two bank. employees at Washington
avenue and Claremont parkway, the
Bronx, and escaped with $4,000 in
cash.
4 The bank employees, Theodore
Frank, assistant manager, and Ar
thur Parrilli, a teller Of the National
Safety Bank and Trust company
branch bank, stopped their coupe at
the corner for q traffic light. On
the back Of the seat lay a manila
envelope containing $4,000 in small
denominations, which they were
transferring to another bank.
While they were waiting for the
light to change, a sedan with four
men drew up alongside. Three of
them got out and stepped on the
running board Of the coupe.
None Of the bandits uttered q
sound. One Of them reached in the
window and seized the manila en-
,velope. Then they stepped back in
their own machine and, as the light
had changed to green, drove of.
: Shortly afterwardi Motorcycle Pa
trolman John Wilkins was cruising
along Crotona park, South, when he
saw a sedan with two men inside
emerge from the park and turn
south. =
As such a turn is against traffic
regulations, he drove his motorcycle
up beside the machine and akf1ed to
see the drivers license. It was
handed over promptly and, when he
saw it had expired May 81, he wrote
out q summons. -
As he did SO, he said, the other
occupant Of the car climbed out and
strolled away, saying to the driver:
well, I'll be seeing you, pail
Al quarter OF an hour later the pa
trolman received the alarm Of the
holdup and recognized in the de
scription Of the bandits' machine
the one he had stopped.

Youth Problems.

MANY adults imagine that chill
" dren outgrow their youthful
problems pretty much as they do the
measles and chicken pox. If child
Is afraid Of the dark, he will get over
1t In time. Or il child has a tend
ency to take things that don't belong
TO him, he will in time turn out to be
honest. So dishonesy is often regarded
as mere childish trait, that has its
day.
In recent years the historical evi-
dence on youth problems has become
voluminous. No one outlives or out
grows an emotional difficulty. Now
and then a child will find a solution.
But just as often he will repress his
difficulty so that from superficial ap-
pearances it no longer exists. The
truth Is that every youth problem
leaves its mark on the personality.
The problem will follow the individual
all through life. A child cannot be
told to forget. No emotional conflict
is entirely forgotten. Sooner or later
1t will crop out in situation which
bears no relation to the one in which
it was originally aroused.

Jack, or perhaps it is Jacqueline. For
the male and female flowers are
found under separate hoods. Gradu-
ally the spathe Is free and bends
over the preacher under the canopy.
To the wise, the lighter colored pull
pits protect the Jacks and the deeper
colored pulpits the Jacquelines. This
is not an infalliable rule, but accurate
enough for us to depend on.
Investigate the occupant Of the pull
pit. The preacher Is really one
legged and called a spedix. The
flowers are to be found at the base. If
it is q female flower, they will be
found packed neatly around the
spadix. They have purple stigma
with whitish centers. In August,
you will find here, instead, bright
red berries in a beautiful cluster.
If the flowers under the next hood
are merely white projections, each
provided with four purplish, cup-like
anthers, filled with white powder,
you have discovered Jack.
Watch his guests-the gnats, flies
and small beetles. 1t is tight
squeeze, even for them, to crawl
between the spadix and the spathe
chamber where the flowers are To-
Gated. They eat and drink their fill,
and make their exit the same way
they entered, going to call on JAG
queline. Once she has the valuable
pollen, she goes to work to develop
her seed children. That Is what you
can see in your garden.

you know, and they need only small
nest. The real nest was yet to be
built. 1t would be Of grass and per-
haps moss and other soft material.
OF course. Johnny Wren sang all
day long. When he wasn't trying to
poke a stick through the little round
doorway he was singing When he
sang he shook all over. That was be-
cause he was singing so hard. 1t was
surprising how rapidly that little
house was filled. The time came when
Jenny inside refused the sticks that
Johnny tried to poke in to her. 1t
took her some time to convince him
that she had al the sticks she wanted.
Johnny seemed disappointed. He was
disappointed. There are two things
that Johnny Wren dearly loves. One
is to sing and the other is to fill
something full Of sticks. If there isn't
house to fill with sticks he'll fill
the hole in the tree, or sometimes an
old can, if he finds one.
OF course, Mrs. Skinner had to
leave her precious eggs to hunt for
food. but Skinner took care to al
ways be on hand when she left. He
didn't trust Jenny and Johnny Wren.
He had heard things about them
which he didn't like to believe, but
which worried him. If they were not
true everything would be all right.
But if those stories we're true it would
not do to leave those precious eggs
Lnguarded one minute. So Skinner
tried to be always on hand when Mrs.
Skinner went out for her meals.
