; The Centre Reporter ———— CENTRE HALL, — FARMING CAMPAIGN, Few ideas have taken root more rapidly, when once germinated, than { tee, with fits expert adviser giving demonstrations among the farmers. In the west this plan is being promot. ed energetically by the council of grain exchanges, made up of 17 grain organization in different centers, says the Springfield Union. According to Secretary Ball of the council's crop improvement committee no less than 102 counties have already employed men to give expert advice on farming, while 120 other counties have nearly completed arrangements for organiz ing on this line. He added that he was In correspondence with nearly 700 counties, and that his organization was co-operating with the national and state departments of agriculture, the bankers’ associations and two great corporations that have offered prizes to promote improvement in raising crops. The seed-testing feature is re ceiving attention, and the question of marketing crops {s treated as no less important than crop production. It is surprising to note the great num- ber and variety of interests that have become actively interested in the cam. paign for better farming. If the Page- Lever-Smith legislation, now pending in congress, should be enacted as pro- posed, the federal government would expend $3,000,000 annually in precise ly the kind of work proposed to be carried on in Hampden county, and al ready under way in many other coun ties One of the sayings of an old Persian wise man is: “All unuttered truths be come poisonous.” Wonder if that not the matter with us all-—we do not say the real things that lle close to the heart. For it is surely the fact, If & man suppresses the truth he will break out somewhere In a lie or deceit But suppose the truths are all uttered what would become of politics, religion, society, business! There would certainly be a frightful holo caust. Bometimes one does meet a man or morehaps a woman, who will tell the truth the heart holds, not in vanity or boasting, but in candor and love—what a clear sky breaks all about such a person, how sweet the alr is, how green the grass grows! One lives In a new world. One takes on higher alms. But suppose everybody would utter his truth! The theory of humanity is that it would be well. But we would prefer to wait a few cen turies for the spirit get a better headway In human shrdiu shrdlu u it would be well to ponder over the wise Persian’s aphorism: “All un- uttered truths become poleonous.” And its corollary, too: All lies become poisonous, too. to Although the practice of making plaintiff and defendant kneel down be fore the judge in the course of a law- suit and the application of “corporal punishment to extract confession from the suspected offender have been pro- hibited by law, still in some rural dis tricts and cities the authorities of the court have not yet completely aban- doned these practices, says the Pe- kin Daily News. President Yuan, wishing the authorities to respect the rights of the people and thereby to show them the real significance of a Republican form of government, has telegraphed instructions to the Tutuhs to investigate the practice of the local courts. A doctor In Plttaburgh has been talking to schoolgirls about the “bird- cage” disease of high society women, meaning the undermining ill-health proceeding from the undermining of their constitutions by too much indo lence, social indulgences, lack of prop- er exercise and too much rich food. The term is a good one, and the pro cess it implies deserves to be held up as a warning to the intelligent girl Food of the country.
