While visiting in Dublin, satiris
Jonathan Swift was asked for
subscription by a charitable organ
ization that was planning to builc

The following day, it was an

had promised so pounds. Furious
Swift voiced his protest to the
members Of the committee. They

next edition of the papers, but the
author refused to be subjected TO
such embarrassment.
"I'n give you the SO pounds" he
said, ION the condition that you

This was agreed upon. The IN

Congressional HumOr

In a footnote to a recent article by
Sen. Alexander Wiley in the New York
Times Magazine, the editors explain
that n of the Wisconsin senator's pet
ideas is to dress up the Congressional
record in a happier formal and have it
sold to the public.
Mr.. Wiley's article, we assume, is a
sort of trial balloon. Titled Congress
Has Its Fun" it consists of mites Gull
ed from House and Senate debate and
now available only to the Records limit
ed leadership.
But it is possible that the senator's
samples have kicked his pet idea in the
head. Maybe today's Americans, nour-
lshed on the one-line gag, aren't gear
ed to the tempo of frock-coated con-
g%ressional wisecracks. At any rate, it's
hard to imagine the New Workers.
editors feeling perturbed after reading
them, or to predict a sudden clamor
for Congressional Record.
Inc senator seems to have some
doubts himself. He starts out with a
provocative bit of promotion: "Clever
fepartee, witty punning, funny yarns
THESE are grist for the congressional
humor mill" But a half dozen lines
later ne loses heart: "To be sure, some
OF them (the jokes) may appear com
paratively flat in print" (Senator, YOU

let down a weighted rope, marked
off at intervals. When the weight
has touched the bottom, the depth
will be indicated by the rope
marker at the seas surface. But
this method will do only for COM
paratively shallow depths.
When it comes to sounding
great depths, it is necessary to
use other methods. Until 1920, the
most accurate device was a fine
wire with a weight attached,
which was let down to the bottom.
As the weight, or sinker, touched
bottom the depth was automati-
cally recorded. However, this
method was not always accurate
as it was possible for the wire
to be carried by currents, so that
it was not certain that the depth
had been taken vertically.
An improved method IS to send
a sound signal through the water
and record the time which elapses

ment when the sound comes back
as an echo reflected from the
ocean bottom. Since we know the
speed of sound in water, we can
Their calculate the distance to the
bottom.
Ingenious electrical instruments
have been invented which send
out the sound-wave, measure the
time taken for its return to the
ship, and then automatically re-
cord the depth Of the bottom.

TABLED AMI
L FARMING l.
! A weekly discussion devoted to the
Land and Farms of Garrett County,
edited by John Carter, County Agent,
and w. w. Mace, Soil COnservatiOnist.
Know Your SOil-It Pays

Your farm probably has several
kinds of soil on it. Even fields of the
same kind of soil have been treated
differently in the past. AS result,
we only guess what any field needs
is lime, fertilizer and manure. Usual
ly the guesses are good enough to
produce a fair crop. The guessing
game tho, usually results in weaken
ing the soil, because we guess too low
After all, why should we guess about
fertilizer and lime, when we can know
for sure how much to use.
We can find out what our soils
need very simply. Just take samples
of soil from the fields you want to
test and send them to Mr.. Carter, the
County Agent. He will have them
tested in the Experiment Station
Laboratories at College Park. The re-
suits of the testing of your samples
are sent to you. They tell you how
much of each kind of plant food your
soils need according to the kind of
crop you plan to grow.
Taking the sample of soil in your
fields is the main part of the process
that you do. The sample has to be
fairly average for the area tested.
The way to take sample is fairly
simple; but you must be careful to
get an average sample and then to
label it properly To take samples,
get several pint jars-as many as
you will have samples. Wash and dry
them thoroughly and label them clear
ly. Number or letter the labels. Make
a list in a notebook of the numbers
or letters. After each number or let
ter in the notebook, write a descrip-
ton of the place where you take each
sample.
To actually take the sample, use
an ordinary shovel or spade. Carry a
stick to scrapc the shovel or spade
clean for each sample. Dig down six
to eight inches and pry loose shovel
full of the soil. Break this apart and
fill the pint jar for that sample with
soil from the top to bottom of the
shovelful you dug out. A clean old
tablespoon is good to use to fill the
jar. Cover the jar. Now it is ready
to send away to be tested. When all
the jars are ready, pack them safely
and bring OF mail them to the County
Agent
One important thing more about
taking your samples: Take a sample
for each different kind of soil you
have. If possible, take couple in each
big area of the same kind of soil to
get better average test. Try to take
your samples near the middle of the
fields, where the soil is about average
for the field.
When you get back the results of
the test, try to treat your land the
way the tests say. The laboratory
tests will tell you what your land
really needs. Often what they say
your soil needs seems high to you.
That is because, as a rule, we are
using up our soils faster than we re-
build them. The testing that it done
for you by the laboratory will tell you
how much and what kind of fertilizer
and lime to use to keep your land
built up to its best.

SENSE OF PITCH
IMPROVED BY TRAINING

Can persons with poor mu-

helped? Recent research in
the psychology of music at
Northwestern University indi-
Gates that many can, despite
the fact that, heretofore, faul-
ty pitch discrimination has
been considered by many ex-
perts to be largely hereditary
and permanently fixed in ear
ly childhood.
Ruth F. Wyatt, director of
tests and measurements in the

school of music, and assistant
professor of the physics and
psychology of music, selected
16 adults, half of them enroll
ed in the music school, for a
semester of individual rene
dial training. Testing after the
training showed that IA of the
16 exhibited marked improve
ment.
In the well-known Seashore
test for pitch discrimination,
one of five tests used in the
experiment, the average rank
of the music students changed
from Flow average" to "excel-
lent" while that of the nom
music group (enrolled in other
schools of the university rose
from Glow average" to good"
The average score made by
the non-music students was
higher after training than that
of the music group before
training.
