"CANTICLE AND OTHER POEMS"
First Published COlIec- lion of Young Jesuit's
 Poems Impresses

by John Louis Bonn of the SO- ciesy of Jesus; published by Bruce HHmphries, Inc, price &2.0O.
 First reading of Rev. John Louis Bonn's "Canticle and Other Poems" conveys to one the Idea that here is . collection of poetry of very high order, classic in form, On sec- Ond reading the idea again suggests itself with additional thoughts on the beauty of the poems contained therein; the grace and Smoothness of the rhythm, and the dignity and subiimity of the subject matter "Canticle and Other Poems" is the first published collection of poems in book form by Father Bonn. Some of the poems have previously been published separately in America, Poetry, A Magazine of Verse, Poetry World, Spirit and Voices, as ex- plained in Q foreword by the au- thor.
 Mystical Poem
 Rev. John Louis Bonn, S. J., au- thor of "Canticle and Other Poems" is . former Waterbury resident, and for this reason the volume of poetry has an added definite interest. Father Bonn is a young man, re- gently ordained in the order, but his poetry has the finish and maturity Of an older man, but at the same time the spontaneity of 8 young poet His "Canticle" defined as "A Mystical Poem of the Three Ways to Perfection" is entirely spiritual in tone: 1t is fnetrical and as such becomes in the reading a poem as well as 8 song. It is written in three parts; first, the purgative way, in which "he maketh the re- nunciation of earthly affection and gaineth to eternal love" Something of the beauty and dignity of the poem is expressed in the poets lines near the close of the first part:
 Ways to Perfection
 "Oh, no soul, but his breath
 Is warmer for the scent of death; Oh, no mortal, but his eyes
 Shine with the lightning when he
 dies;
 Oh, no flesh but is unwound
 From the girdings of the ground; Oh. nobody, but with pain.

Poet Is washed before 1t rise again; Oh, no man
 Has found these four
 As he who shall not
 Need them more"
 In Part II of the Canticle, the il- lumina tive way. the soul is described sS finding itself "at the zenith of the world where 1t perceiveth a vision of great beauty" The souls mental enlightenment k pictured in the lines:
 His wings are as of frost and fire; His wings are radiant as the Host As if upon some icy spire
 Were graved the Holy Ghost; Oh, 1t is He who shineth there Hanging midway in the air." This translucent beauty is repeated in the lines,
 There is a glory in his eyes. There is q glory in his word, As If a radiance must rise
 From gazing on that mystic bird Who with His brilliance renders clear
 The mystery of the atmosphere. The vision of beauty is climaXed in the closing lines, He who gazes on this light, Earth, Air, Water, meet his sight All is pure. All is white.
 All the beauty
 Shall remain; It VII never
 Fade again"
 The unitVe way to perfection is poetically outlined in the third and final part of the poem with the soul leaving the universe when "it taketh it's stance among the things of inflnity.' Tn this final part the poet returns to the three elements, earth. air and water. In his prelude the poet writes, Earth, Air and Water, leave his sight; Only fire keeps its light.
 Only stars
 Shall remain
 If his candle snuffs again." Then he writes towards the clos, of the canticlc
 He who sees Earth, Star, and Sun A symbol of the All, the One,
 He can soar, he can run" Again he writes in closing, He who gathers to delight
 Earth, Air, Water--loves their sight,
 They, his glory, they his right. All their love
 Must remain;
 He has made them live again" Other Poems
 The other poems in Father Bonn'f book number something over forty They are, for the most part, lyrical many classic in form. Some oi 1 these are religious in tone but moi entirely. The Greek and Latir classics have suggested many oi them, and there are also one or two translations from the Gaelic. There is also one singularly beautiful paraphrase from the French oi Theresc de Lisieux, called "Song in Punishment" which is in substance a prayer of intense devotion. Il closes,
 Thou art all of heaven, Thou art all sweet,
 And my soul is sitting At thy feet.
 l am no longer poor.
 Thou art my heaven, infinite, com
 plete-- Tu, l'amour." The poetry of prayer is devoutly ex- pressed in these and preceding lines of this song of Therese, the Little Flower.

WILL PAY FARMERS FOR
TREES AND TERRACES

The planting of forest trees and
the construction of terraces, if car
ried out to meet specified require
ments, are included in the list of
practices which will qualify coop
Grating producers in North Caro-
lima for soil-building payments un-
der the Agricultural Conservation
Program, according to ]. F. Girls
we'll of the State College extern
sion service.
For planting forest trees in 1886
on cropland or noncrop pasture
land, between January 1, 1886, and
October 81, 1886, the rate of pay
ment is IS per acre.
For terracing croPland between

protection against erosion, the pay.

Although the above specified
rates have been approved for soil.
building practices, there is a soil
building allowance, or top limit fol
the soil-building payment. This tor
limit is calculated for any farm
by multiplying by 81 the number
of acres of soil-conserving crops Or
the farm in 1886, except that il
this acreage is less than 10 acre:
the soil building allowance is $40
For example, on a farm with &C
acres in soil-conserving crops If
1886, the soil-building allowance
would be $50. The farmer woulc
| earn part or all of the $50, depend
ing upon the amount to which hi
would be entitled for terracing ane

out other approved soil-buildins
practices on his farm in 1886.

Crop Rotation
Build Soil to
Stop Erosion

Erosion control and maintenance
of soil fertility depends to a large
extent upon suitable rotation OF
crops According to A. HI. Veazey,
chief agronomist of the Soil Con-
servation Service in North Caro-
lima.
"This state is facing no greater
problem than that of planning and
adopting crop rotations" he said.
Veazey recommends rotations in
GLIDING grasses, clover, lespedezas,
and other legumes which add Or
ganic matter and nitrogen to the
soil thereby improving its chemi-
cal and mechanical condition.
These crops also increase the water
holding capacity of the soil.
Close-growing grasses and le-
gumes bind and hold the soil and
reduce TO a minimum losses from
On the North Cardinals badly
crowded areas, where the fertility
has been either washed away Or
used up by planting the same crop
in the same field year after year,

FARMERS MUST ACT
TO EARN PAYMENTS

Farmers in other parts of the
United States who normally plant
a larger percentage of their farm
acreage in soil improving crops
, than do farmers of North Carolina
will likely share to a greater extent
in the proceeds of the new farm
program if North Carolina farm
ers do not act at once to comply
with the new program.
This is the opinion of E. Y. Floyd
tobacco specialist at State College,
who says that North Carolina far
mers may offset this seeming advan-
tage of other sections by replaylng
cash crops such as tobacco, cotton
and peanuts with soil improving
crops.
There is still some doubt in the
mind of many farmers as to how
to proceed to cooperate. The hrsr
thing to do, Floyd says is to fill out
a work sheet in which is listed the
acreage of all crops grown on the
farm in 1885, the acreage of each
and other information about the
farm. The second step is to work
| with the community committee
to determine the oil-depleting base
on each farm. Then soilconserv-
ing crops must be grown on a part
of this soil-depleting base. Fourth,
soil building practices must be toll
lowed to earn the class II pay
ments.
As a fifth step, the farmer makes
a formal application for payment
for what he has done, and finally
his farm is checked to determine
whether the conditions for pay
ment have been made.

Foster to Discuss
Tax on Farm Land

The second in a series of radio
talks on farm taxation in Nortl
Carolina will be given by DR.. G
G.. W. Foster, agricultural econo.
mist of the North Carolina Expe.
riment Station, Wednesday, June 3
In his discussions on the Carroll.
ma Farm Features program, DR.
Foster is endeavoring to answer the
question, "are farmers paying more
OF less than a fair share of the to-
tai taxes levied and collected by
the State?"
The economist will also attempt
to point out whether or not taxes
on farm land have been greater
than taxes on other classes of pro-
perty.
Preliminary estimates for 1885
show that the tax on farm land
has begun to increase, says DR.. Eos
ter, from the low level of $685.
600, the taxes levied on farm land
in 1884, to $S,341,ooO in 1885 or
an increase of 22.2 percent.
The important characteristic of
these data, he says, is that taxes
tend to raise and fall with farm
incomes. When incomes are ad-
vancing, taxes advance; when in
comes decline, taxes decline. Blu,
he adds, there is a lag in the rate
at which taxation keeps pace with
income.
