“WHAT'S GOOD ENOUGH
FOR GRANDAD—"
Farmers of today spend so much
‘more money than did the farmers of
years ago, that despite their im-
roved agricultural practices, their
Eh balances are less at the end of
the year than in the days of their
grandfathers. This is the theory of
Professor B. H. Crocheron, Director
of the Agricultural Extension Service
of the University of California.
“Every once in a while,” says Pro-
fessor Crocheron, “someone asks why
it was the farmers were able to make
money in the days gone by. They
used methods of farming, which now
are said to be both inefficient and ex-
pensive, yet they made money. Poor
seed: scrub cows, mongrel chickens,
sloppy irrigation—all these were
practiced—and yet they made money.
So somebody speaks up and says that
the good old ways of the good old
days are good enough for him.
“There ain’t nothin’ in these new
ways of farming, nohow. Cow-test-
ing, purebred sires, certified seed,
modern pruning and soil moisture
tests are merely foolish frills. Get
‘back to the ways of grandad and
watch the bank balance grow. Well,
it’s possible, all right—but do you
really want to do it?
“A bank balance is the difference
‘between what you produce and what
you consume. There are two ways of
increasing that balance. You can
«either make more money or you can
spend less money. Financial afflu-
.ence consists in spending less than
you make. That’s how granddad got
‘that bank balance; he spent so much
less than we do.
“In grandfather’s time his greatest
luxury was a new side-bar buggy,
purchased once in twenty years at
$100. He used it on Sunday, making
the old buggy, bought before he was
married, do duty for ordinary run-
ning about. His grandson has a new
car every three years. It’s a middle-
‘class car, but it would have kept
grandfather in buggies for 200 years.
It costs more to run than the whole
farm did in Grandfather's time.
Grandfather’s .household furniture
was cheap. He got it when he was
married and it cost about as much
as a suit of clothes costs his grand-
son. You can still buy that kind of
furniture, but his grandson doesn’t
want it. He has a new overstuffed
living room set that cost as much as
grandad’s furnitureand farm tools
put together. Grandfather’s house
kept out the rain and the sun and
the wind. That’s all it was meant to
do. His grandson has a white en-
ameled bathroom and a kitchen that
looks like an operating room in a hos-
pital. He has electric lights over the
whole works and runs a console
phonograph and a high power radio
on the current. The phonograph and
the radio, taken together, cost more
than all the machinery grandfather
ever bought for his farm.
“Grandfather traveled a hundred
miles away from home on his honey-
‘moon and talked about it the rest of
‘his life. His grandson rambles over
the whole country in his car and com-
plains because he hasn’t yet made a
4rip arcund the world. Grandfather
went to a farm picnic once in a year,
which he didn’t tell much about when
‘he got home. His grandson takes in
all the movies as a matter of course.
"The whole family drops into town
most any night. but they don’t count
the movies as a large expenditure—-
that’s just regular. Once a year they
go up to the city, put up at a good
hotel, see the town and most of the
shows and tell a lot about them when
they get home. Grandfather on his
trip to town slept in the loft of a liv-
ery stable. Grandson isn’t extrava-
gant. He just lives up to the times.
~ “So, if the old-time methcds are
good enough for you, then it’s prob-
able that you’ll have to use the old-
time ways of living to go with them.
‘Things will balance that way. There
are plently of people in California
doing it. Usually they are newcom-
ers from foreign lands. They work
hard, trying to make up in energy for
what they lack in knowledge; they
spend little on living and finish up
with a good bank balance. Seeing
this financial security, some folks are
led to think that bad farming makes
‘good bank accounts. They say that
inefficient farming pays better than
good. As a matter of fact, it’s the
‘Tow. standard of living prevalent
among foreigners, but almost extinct
.among Americans, that creates the
‘balance.
“But most of us don’t want to go
back to the standard of living preva-
lent in rural America half a century
ago. We have a new American
standard we now term it backward
and unAmerican We want to spend
more and live more. We can’t sur-
vive unless we use modern methods
to keep an excess of money earned,
.over money spent.”—Ex.
New Lens To Take Colored Pictures.
Using only a special lens attach-
ment for ordinary cameras, a new
motion picture optical color process
‘was demonstrated at Pittsburgh re-
cently for the first time.
The process was invented by Har-
old N. Cox, of that city, formerly
.connected with the Edison Research
Laboratories.
Cox said the new process calls in
‘to use “a simple lens attachment
.-which can be placed on any camera.”
{ "The pictures taken, he asserted, can
‘be developed in any laboratory fit-
ted to turn out ordinary motion pie-
; ture, printed Wn black ‘and dwhite
: stock, neither tinted nor toned, or in
any way artificially, colored, with reg-
ular printing equipment, and project-
ed on any projector or by again us-
ing similar lens attachment or shown
on'any screen.
The process according to its in-
, ventor can reproduce any color or
: shade that the eye can perceive.
Cox claims that with his invention,
‘ color films can be produced with no
{increase in cost over the present
black and white method.
FARM NOTES.
It doesn’t pay to keep a hen more
than one year unless she has been an
exceptionally good layer the first
ear.
¥ A penny apparently saved by
skimping the milk cow on her grain
may mean the expenditure of several
dollars later on.
One of the best ways to cure seed
corn is to hang it from the rafters
of a barn or open shed. After it is
cured it should be stored in a dry
place where it will remain secure
from mice, rats, birds and insects.
All fruit soils must be of such a
character that water will percolate
readily through them. Soils with a
“slick” impervious surface, as found
in some of our lower valleys, or that
contain a layer of deflocculated, “run
together” soil particles at a lower
depth are unsuited to fruit culture.
Another feature favoring ready wat-
er penetration is the matter of con-
trolling alkali. In general, fruits are
rather intolerant to alkali, but where
these salts occur in reasonably small
amounts they can be controlled, and
the orchard made to succeed, if the
soil is well drained.
The depth of soil is an important
consideration. Fruits differ greatly
in ‘the depth of soil required for their
best development, mainly in accord-
ance with the habits of the roots but,
in general: all the common tree fruits
succeed best in a deep soil. A soil
less than six feet is unsatisfactory;
a greater depth is preferable.
An important requirement for suc-
cessful winter egg production in a
flock of pullets is a house that is free
from drafts Colds, chickenpox, and
roup, says the New Jersey State Col-
lege of Agriculture, often can be
traced to the birds’ becoming chilled
because of a drafty house.
To insure oneself against this un-
desirable condition it is necessary to
have the house airtight on three sides.
This is often difficult to do, but any
cracks near the floor or directly
around the roosts particularly are to
be avoided. These should by all
means be covered. Cracks around the
entrance door are a very common oc-
currence and one may often find the
birds cuddled up in a far corner in an
effort to keep warm. By putting
weather strips on the doors the poul-
try men easily eliminate this problem.
After the three sides are tightened
up, the front may be kept reasonably
open. As a rule, however, it is best
to have about equal proportions of
glass and muslin in front, and the
two combined may take up about one-
half of the front surface of the house.
The spaces between the rafters above
the plate may also be kept open. The
muslin curtains should be closed at
night and never opened on stormy
days or even in the early morning
or late evening. The house should
always feel comfertable when one en-
ters. Many poultrymen have found
that the glass substitute products
have been very satisfactory They
admit much more light than the mus-
lin, and also keep the house warmer.
Ventilation through the rafter spaces
at the eaves is ‘usually sufficient to
keep the birds in good health.
With the sides and front well taken
care of, the only possible cause for
drafts would be a long house without
partitions. To overcome the tend-
ency for the wind to sweep in one
end of such a house and out the oth-
er, it is well to build partitions every
40 feet These should extend to the
roof and come up to within three feet
of the front of the house, or if de-
sired, a door may be fitted into this
three-foot space, making the partition
solid. Partitions in the roosting quar-
fore only should be built every 20
cet.
In the American vegetable garden
cight principal food products had
their origin in the Indian crops exist-
ing here before the advent of the
white man. These include beans,
corn. peppers, pumpkins, squash, to-
mato, potato and sweet potato. Veg-
etables of Old World origin are far
more numerous. The United States
Department of Agriculture lists 24
of importance, cucumbers, eggplant,
muskmelon, watermelon, okra, aspar-
agus, beets, brussels sprouts, cab-
bage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, kale
and collard, kohlrabi, leek, lettuce,
onion, parsley, parsnips, peas, radizh,
salsify, spinach and turnip. But ths
vaule of the crop of the eight native
vegetables is considered greater than
the 24 of foreign origin. Since the
discovery of America the white man
has not “tamed” any native. plants
which the Indians had not already
brought from warmer parts of Amer-
ica, but notable improvements have
been made in the quality and yield of
most of these vegetables.
The practice of hogging down corn
has been growing very rapidly in the
corn belt States in recent years. It
is a good practice because it saves
labor and increases the rapidity of
hog gains, provided the corn is prop-
erly supplemented.
still make the mistake of turning
their spring pigs into corn without
supplying a supplementary high pro-
tein and the proper amount of miner-
al matter. But the great majority of
farmers who follow the practice of
hogging down a portion of their corn
are placing self-feeders containing a
commercial high protein feed and a
mineral mixture in the field to allow
the pigs to balance their own ration.
It is in this way that the most eco-
nomical as well as the most rapid
gain are obtained.
Sweet clover hay, properly cured,
is practically equal to alfalfa.
After haying and harvest is a good
time to get at that concrete dairy-
stable floor.
Most of the cereal crop insects con-
fine their activities to crops belonging
to the grass family. The practice of
crop rotation in which a leguminous
crop is used is therefore a good meth-
od of reducing insect damage.
A good, thrifty field of alfalfa is
one of the most practical methods of
eradicating lands foul with bad weeds
such as Canada thistle and morning
glories.

Adams County Appie
Bankrupt.
Rings Are
How one of the nation’s largest
apple farms in Adams county has
been bankrupt by weather has just
been told.
For five consecutive seasons frosts
and other perversities of an unkind
nature blighted the output of the
thousands of trees on the farm. The
story was told when the owners, Ty-
son Brothers, Inc., filed a voluntary
petition in bankruptcy with Federa:
Judge Johnson.
The property includes what was at
one time more than a dozen farms in
Adams county, totaling 3,000 acres.
It is owned by three brothers, who
inherited much of the land from their
father, and were pioneers in the apple
groving industry in that part of the
Four petitions were filed, one by
the corporation and one by each of
the brothers, Edwin C., Chester J.
and William Tyson. Liabilities are
put at $400,000 and assets at $250,-
000. Judge Johnson issued an order
on the sheriff halting a sale scheduled
on the farm, of certain assets, to
settle a $1,000 claim of the Biglers-
ville National Bank.
The brothers started in the apple
business after inheriting the property
about 25 years ago. They were not
rich, but they were active and ambi-
tious. Bad crops put them in finan-
cial difficulties several years after
they started. Their father put the
remainder of his fortune into the
business ti tide them over. This was
followed by a banner crop with prices
that surpassed all expectations.
The brothers then struck an up-
grade of good fortune that contin-
ued for years. They planted orchard
after orchard and their success
caused many other farmers to follow
their example until Adams county be-
came known as one of the greatest
producers of quality apples in the
country.
They then ventured into the or-
chard implement field. The turn in
the family fortunes dated from the
war which upset the implement phase
of the business. It was followed by
a succession of small crops and low
prices.
In Adams county it is regarded al-
most as a tragedy. The Tysons have
been regarded as the masters in their
field. The nation’s greatest horticul-
turists came to study their methods
and be their guests.
Many Are Going Back to Dobbin.
Times have changed. Large dis-
tributors of ice cream, ice, coal and
milk who forsook the horse for the
automobile, have gone back to the
horse. Regis Lefebure, of New York,
representative of the Horse Associa-
tion of America, said as much in
Chicago recently at the association’s
‘annual meeting. ;
Horses used by 15 of Chicago’s
principal milk distributors, he said,
have increased 534 in number in the
past two and a half years.
“In ‘Greater New York, he added,
“6,346 horses are being used at pres-
ent in delivery of ice cream, ice and
coal. * Ice cream delivery with a team
and wagon costs an average of $130.-
20 a week, including salesman’s com-
pensation. With electric truck .it
costs $171.54 a week; and with gaso-
line truck, $186.71 a week.
SAVE $30,000 EACH MILLION.
“New York ice cream manufactur-
ers save $30,000 for every million
dollars worth of ice cream delivered
by horses instead of electric truck
and $41,000 for every million dollars’
worth of ice creanr delivered by hors-
es instead of gasoline truck. Con-
sequently, horses deliver one-third of
all Ncw York’s ice cream, serving
231 routes with 667 horses, while
electric trucks serve only 45 routes
and gasoline trucks serve 416 routes.
“These facts have been obtained in
thorough surveys made over a per-
iod of three years. In ice delivery
2,352 horses are used and in coal de-
livery 3,327 horses.”
Chicago milk distributors, Mr.
Lefebure’s figures further showed,
are operating 4,968 horse routes, 118
electric truck routes, and 493 gasoline
truck routes. Sixty-five principal
Chicago cartage companies are using
2,074 horses, 13 electric trucks and
952 gascline trucks. In the former
case horse and wagon units constitute
86.9 per cent of the total delivery
unis used and in the latter 68.22 per
cent.
He also mentioned that 362 horses
are being used in short haul work by
Chicago laundries.

Approximately 100,000 Dependents
| Cared for Yearly by State.
Pennsylvania’s state and semi-state
institutions and resources for care of
the afflicted in mind and body are
charted on an unique map which is
being issued by the Public Charities
Association of Pennsylvania.
According to this map, Pennsylva-
nia has one semi-state and eight state
mental hospitals; fifty mental clinics
held regularly; and seven held from
time to time; three tuberculosis san-
atoria; ten state general hospitals;
one semi-state and three state schools
for the feebleminded; one state col-
ony in course of erection for epilep-
tics; two state and two semi-state
| schools for the blind; one state home
i for soldiers, sailors and their orph-
ans; six state penal and correctional
| institutions. The State owns land
for an institution for defective male
delinquents which was authorized by
the 1927 Legislature, but for which
no appropriation has yet been made.
On the map “Semi-state” as ap-
plied to institutions is defined as be-
ing an institution controlled by a pri-
vate corporation in which the State
usually has representation and for
which the State provides practically
the entire cost of maintenance.
The map shows further that depen-
dent wards of the State cared for in
the foregoing institution and pro-
vided for wholly or in part by the
State in various local and private in-
stitutions, number, in the course of a
year, approxiamtely 100,000 persons.

Highest Authority for
Borrowing by Writers
One reads for thought and for quo-
tation not less; if he find his thought
more finely concelved and aptly ex-
pressed by another, let him quote with-
out hesitation or apology. He has the
highest authority for the practice.
How rich is Plutarch’s page, Mon-
taigne’s, Bacon's! And what they bor-
row is of a piece with their own text,
giving it added strength and grace. I
know the fashion of our time affects
disdain of borrowing. But who is rich
enough to refuse, or plead honor-
ably for his exclusiveness? Somehow
the printer happens to forget his
quotation marks, and the credit of
originality goes to the writer none the
less,
The plea is that quoting often im-
plies sterility and bad taste. Then
Shakespeare and his contemporaries
were wanting in wit and fine rhetoric.
Hear how Montaigne justifies hi»
practice: :
“Let nobody insist upon the matter
1 write, but my method in writing.
Let them observe in what I borrow, if
I have known how to choose what {is
proper to raise or relieve invention,
which is always my own; for I make
others say for me what, either for
want of language or want of sense,
1 cannot myself well express. I do
not number my borrowings, 1 weigh
them. And had I designed to raise
their estimate by their number, I bad
made twice as many.”—Bronson Al-
cott.
Saving by No Means
Sum Total of Thrift
To be thrifty means to thrive In
a broad sense rather than just to save
in a narrow sense.
The training of the child should not
be along the lines of saving alone.
because such narrow training might
lead to selfishness and avarice. The
proper administration of one’s per-
sonal affairs must include sound prin-
ciples of spending and investing as
well as the mere mechanical process
of saving.
Some bankers and some thrift
ceachers are fond of calling the squir-
rel a thrifty animal. He is thrifty to
the extent that he saves his food sup-
ply in the days of abundance against
the long cold days of approaching
winter. The ant is more thrifty than
the grasshopper. But these merely
instinctive practices are hardly anal-
ogous to the needs of enlightened hu-
man progress.
It is the primary function of sav-
ings banks to teach the value of sav-
ing. In this they are doing a great
and wonderful work in this country.
But as much as possible bankers also
should disseminate the .ound doctrine
that saving money alone is by no
means the sum total of thrift.—Thrift
Magazine.
Fat or Lean?
Good-natured, fat men are likely to
be successful in business. They are
at the head of big business organiza-
Lean, hungry-looking men are
the successful political and military
leaders of the world. So say those
who diagnose character from appear-
ance. They forget that Napoleon was
a little, plump man. No young man
can safely choose his line of work in
accordance with his physical charac-
teristics.
Young men, figuring on success in
life, sometimes take the closest, eas-
fest, most convenient job. To go into
a line you do not enjoy, that you are
not interested in, just because it is
eonvenient, is dead waste. Determine
the thing you are most interested in
and go after that, whatever the cost
and hardship.—Grove Patterson in the
Mobile Register.
Hurt by Wrong Training
A man should be in his prime phys-
ically at thirty years old. If he is
not, it is because of a lack ot bal-
ance in his physical training, declares
the bulletin of the Dayton department
of health. !
Overtraining may strain the heart
and unbalance the nerves, Under
training is responsible for wenkness
of muscles and lack of development
of the lungs. Dissipation undermines
his resistance. One or more of these
factors must be present if a man be-
«ins to look and feel old in his early
thirties. —Hygeia Magazine.
Cause of Poor Writing
Dr. William Root of the University
of Pittsburgh says that as a generai
rule persons of low mentality are
good hand writers. “Intelligent peo-
ple,” according to Doctor Root, “think
aX) times faster than they can writs
and, therefore, the arm is so far be-
hind the activity of the brain that
the result is poor writing. A person
low in mentality has nothing else to
think about but the shaping of his
letters. But it does not necessarily
follow that if you are a poor penmen
you are intelligent or vice versa.”--

! Animals Don’t Need Sight for Sense
of Direction.
We know that a lost cat is never
really lost; that our dog will find his
way home under most any conditions,
and that it is wise sometimes, if we
are confused, to let the horse guide
himself. But the ability to find their
way is still greater in undomesticated
animals. Necessarily their self-reli-
ance and constant presence of danger
keeps their faculties and instincts on
the keenest edge, writes L. E. Eu-
banks in “Our Dumb Animals.”
The greatest factor in a man’s
study of location is his sight, and
without it he has but a vague sense
of direction. But I knew a blind dog
to find his way home over miles of
unfamiliar country. Blind horses or
cows go where they want to in a pas-
ture, and you can’t seriously “side-
track” a cat by blindfolding it. Some
animals seem helpless when sight is
handicapped, but the reason usually
is excitement—a panic of fear. Giv-
en time to deliberate their sense of
direction saves them as a rule.
Naturalists once thought that ants
returned to their home thru the for-
ests of grassblades, weeds, sticks, ete.,
by scent, following their own track
back. As a matter of fact an ant
seldom goes back over the outbound
trail, and there is considerable evi-
dence that it relies more on the mys-
terious genera} !sense of dircethom
than on sight or any other particu-
lar sense. ]
One. ant, as an experiment, was
transported on a leaf beyond her des-
tination and when put down kept
going in the same direction, though
she was now going away from home.
The general sense of direction is very
remarkable in one species of the Aus-
tralian ants; they build their nests
along a north and south line so ac-
curately that a traveler may direct
his course by their aid. Snails have
no sense of sight, or at least a very
rudimentary one, yet it is not easy
to lose a snail.
And there’s the turtle. It must be
guided by the general sense, because
the whole country could change in
appearance before this creature com-
pleted its trip by arriving home. In
Milford, N. J., scientists became in-
terested in a certain turtle, and to
test its homing instincts took it some
miles beyond the Delaware River. Af-
ter four years it was again found in
its favorite haunts among the toma-
to plants. ;
When an animal does become lost
its actions are different from those of
a man under the same conditions. A
lost horse will wander but he has no
particular tendency to circle, whereas
a lost man’s trail will circle in three-
fourths of the cases. There are some
anatomical explanations for differ-
ence, but the main reason is that the
animal has more accurate general
sense of direction.—Lititz Record.
Most of U. S. Income Used for
Public Debt.
Washington.—Uncle Sam spent on-
ly 17.1 cents of the taxpayer’s dol-
lar for support of the ordinary civil
functions of government, the 1927 re-
port of Secretary of. the Treasury
Mellon indicates, while 31.8 cents is
spent for military functions and 51.1
cents goes to meet the public debt.
“When the average citizen grum-
bles over the size of his income tax
payment.” Mr. Mellon explained, “he
often visualizes his hard-earned mon-
ey being spent by the Government to
; co.apile reports on business or agri-
| cultural conditions or to erect public
buildings, send diplomats abroad, car-
ry on scientific investigations or make
{and enforce laws.
“As a matter of fact, a small part
of the taxpayer’s dollar goes into
work of this sort, only about one-
sixth being used for all the multi-
tudinous types of ordinary civil func-
tions added together. One-half of
each tax dollar is used for the service
of the public debt, the equivalent of
20 cents being required for interest
and premium payments and 30 cents
for debt retirement. The remaining
one-third of the taxpayer’s dollar is
spent on military expenditures for
national defense or payments to mili-
tdry veterans.”

| WHAT IS GOLF? THIS IS IT.
Editor's Note.—The following deserip-
tion of golf is believed to have been w
(ten by a frenzied golfer after he had
| lost his temper and a half dozen new
golf balls attempting to negotiate the
| water hazard. An unconfirmed rumor
: states that he was out on the course the
| next day, having hypnotized himself in-
to believing that he had discovered the
source of his difficulties in previous play.
Last reports indicate that he is again
paying tribute to King Neptune, but the
grim smirk on his face indicates that he
is still trying.
MORAL: You don't have to be crazy
to play golf—but it helps!”
Golf is a form of work made expen-
sive enough for a rich man to en-
joy it. It is a physical and mental
exertion made attractive by the fact
that you have to dress for it in a
$200,000 clubhouse.
Golf is what letter-carrying, ditch-
digging and carpet beating would be
if those three tasks had to be per-
formed on the same fafternoon jn
short pants and colored socks by
gaudy looking gentlemen, who re-
quired a different kind of implement
for every mood. :
. Golf is the simplest looking game
in the world when you decide to take
it up and the toughest looking after
you have been at it ten or twelve
years. It is probably the only game
a man can play as long as a quarter
of a century and then discover that
it was too deep for him in the first
place.
The game is played on carefully
selected grass with little white balls
and as many clubs as the player can
afford. These balls cost from 75
cents to $25.00, and it is possible to
support a family of ten people (all
adults) for five months on the money
represented by the balls lost by some
golfers in a single afternoon.
A golf course has eighteen holes,
seventeen of which are unnecessary
and put in to make the game hard-
er. A “hole” is a tin cup in the cen-
ter of a “green.” A “green” is a
small parcel of grass costing about
$1.98 a blade and usually located be-
tween a brook and a couple of apple
trees or a lot of “unfinished excava-
tions.”
The idea is to get the golf ball from
a given point into each of the eigh-
teen cups in the fewest number of
words.
The ‘ball must not be thrown,
pushed or carried. It must be pro-
pelled by about $200 worth of curious
looking implements: especially de-
signed to provoke the owner.
Each implement has a specific pur-
pose and ultimately some golfers get
to know what that purpose is. They
are the exceptions.
: After each hole has been completed
the golfer counts his strokes. Then
he subtracts six and says, “Made
that in five; that’s one above par.
Shall we play for fifty cents on the
next hole, too, Ed?” !
After the final, or eighteenth hole,
the golfer adds up the ‘score and
stops when he has reached eighty-
seven. He then has a swim, a pint of
gin, sings “Sweet Adeline” with six
or eight other liars and calls it the
end of a perfect day.—The Shield.

300 Miles an Hour Seen for Autos
in 2007 A. D.
London.—Eighty years hence it will
be possible to drive 300 miles an
hour in a completely enclosed auto-
mobile in a semi-vertical position, in
the opinion of Professor Low, Eng-
lish scientist.
The automobile will then be gov-
erned, Professor Low says, by the
principles of perpetual motion, in
which science i making considerable
strides at American university labors
atories. The professor says the mot-
or car of the future will consume half
the gasoline cars require today, will
be fitted with radio telephone and
television, and will be so easy to op-
erate that a driver can see and speak
to his friends at home while travel-
ing. Folding wings, he says, will
eventually be fitted to cars, thus en-
abling motorists to make continental
and transatlantic trips.
