McConnellsburg, Pa. Season Topics Boiled Down. With the constantly increasing price of grain to farmers to dis tricts where sufficient cannot be grown for home consumption, comes the thought to many ob servers that grassy hillsides might look good to these men. The News has been "going to grass" annually for some time, and it does us good to find that others are beginning to feel as we do. We personally know of a field in this county that, for years, had not been farmed; but as it proudly bore a crop of na tive grass each year, it was of some value to the owner. A new owner, thinking that he could raise cultivated crops on it, he ploughed the field, got little for his trouble, and to-day, the field is as bare as the back of your hand and has been so for years. Before breaking that sod, a little help in the way of fertilizer, and a little grass-seed mixture, would have provided some returns for the taxes now being collected on bare ground. Last year, Virginia agricultur ists organized 5-acre corn clubs for men. They proved to be eye openers to those who imagine that they must plough over many acres to get less corn than from a few acres well cared for. The winner of first prize raised 643i bushels at a cost of a trifle over 17 cents per bushel, and cleared $404.40. Some who did not win made the corn cost them 57 cents per bushel. ho says a county agent cannot make a profit of a hundred fold for the counties that have the grit to employ one? Some parents are afraid to send their boys to an agricultural col lege because so many do not re turn to the farms. Well, the de mand for farmer boys for teach ers is so great that 38 out of ev ery hundred who graduate in ag riculture are nabbed by schools, at good salaries, before they find their way home again. Twenty are picked up by landscape gard eners, or by private individuals who want educated help. Many others, because of lack of funds, cannot go to farming on their own account and they find em ployment where they may put in to practice what they learned at college. Many find their way home and make the old farm hum. Then some are rank failures, who could not make good if offered best of opportunities. Let us or der a county agent and educate the boy at home right on the farm. He'll stay then. There must be a "scare" over the prospects of a short hay crop in other parts of the country be sides Fulton county. The latest copies of some of the farm pa pers are advocating soybeans as a remedy just what we did three weeks ago. Be Careful. The use of poisons for the de struction of insect pests has be come so common, and so neces. sary, that accidents are begin ning to be reported because of carelessness. If you use formal dehyde this spring to kill scab on seed potatoes, or to kill smut germs on seed oats, be sure that you do not let it remain in the house over night Last week a whole family in Bedford, includ ing the hired man, were poison ed after the house had beer, dis infected by the use of this dead ly poison. The inmates breathed the fumes after the house had been closed for the night For tunately, no death occurred, but all suffered agony for some time. Formaldehyde should be used af ter all cases of sickness; but the rooms should not be used after wards until all traces of the fu migation have been removed by airing.
