The president of one of our largest universities .has not yet arrived at the fortieth anniversary of his birth. One of the most influential p o s i t i o n s i n American financial affairs, the presidency of the New York Stock exchange, was accepted by a young man half the age of the other applicants. It is a common experien.ee to h^ar daily of men who have served a business concern faithfully for more than 20 years being replaced by young men with little experience and no special training. Only recently one of our large steel corporations turned the management of the concern over to a group of young men. Of the 10,000,- 000 unemployed, how many are men. over fifty years of age? Should the man of fifty be chloroformed? 7 Calling the roll of young men whose names have been indelibly stamped upon the pages of history, we find that Handel played at. a public concert at fourteen. The masterpieces of fine art were begun in the Sistine chapel by Michelangelo at seventeen. "Thanatopsis" was written by Bryant at nineteen. Alfred was crowned king of England at twenty-one. At thirty-three. Browning wrote "Paracelsus." At twenty-four Ruskin had Completed his ive volumes of "Modern Painters." The history, of Europe takes a new departure at the victories of Napoleon at the age of twenty-eight. Schubert died at thirty-ohe. At nineteen George Washington served in an honored place in the American army. When we examine the motivating power which inspired these great contributions, we discover that success was not sought for the sake of financial remuneration. This may be an amazing fact in our moneymad age. "Examine," writes-Ruskin in his "Modern Painters," "the work of your spiritual leaders, and you will find the statistical law respecting these is--'the less pay; the better work.' For 10 pounds (about $50) you have a 'Paradise Lost'; for a plate of figs, a Durer drawing. Kepler discovers the laws of the orbs of heaven and is paid by starvation," This brief citation from history is ho criterion. To a few is given the blessing of genius. One Mozart in a generation of musicians; one Michelangelo in a generation of artists. The vast majority must do their work, dream their dreams, and construct their economic affairs on far less conspicuous levels. It seems that on this level, experience should replace genius. What does not come to one "by the gift of the gods" may be gained, in part, through strenuous toil and suffering. Does the demand for young men for the responsible positions in our world today mean that time tested experience of age is no longer of value? If genius is so rare and we automatically dispense with experience, what remains as a substitute? Only the fearlessness and enthusiasm of youth. Will this meet the issue? Will the world go forward under this new experimental leadership? Opinion is equally divided. The fact remains: experience is not a thing to be lightly regarded. When we need to consult a surgeon, we seek for reputation and experience. So with the lawyer, teacher and business executive. Crises always confront us with alternatives of victory and defeat. Much depends upon adequate leadership. Will untried youth blaze the trail, or is it the better part of wisdom to rely more upon the experience of our fathers?

By Dr. W. C. Thompson, Poultry Husbandman. Rutgers University.--WNu Service. Much of the success of next year's table-egg producing flock depends upon the way in which the young pullets are being grown this summer. Future layers must be protected against adverse conditions during the warm summer months. A much too common fault among poultrymen is to crowd the pullets. Constant and too close contacts tehd to injure the health of developing pullets and increase the risks of disease. It is recommended that pullets be divided into "colonies or flocks for handling on summer ranges or field. Sixty pullets make a desirable unit and is the number which can be taken care of economically and efficiently in one standardized collapsible summer shelter; These shelters are lighf in weight and can be easily moved from place to place Over the range. This means that each colony of pullets can be given not only ample space or area over which to roam, but also fresh, clean ground throughout the season. Each colony should be handled as a separate unit and supplied with its own water troughs or fountains and its own mash and grain hoppers. Five such units can be efficiently managed on each acre of range, particularly if the range is covered with some green, growing crop, such as grass or alfalfa. In this way, each acre of range will accommodate 300 grown pullets to advantage? Such an arrangerpent will obviate overcrowding and minimize disease problems. It .may seem, during the early summer season, that the shelters could easily accommodate more than 66 pullets, but as the' weeks advance the fast growing pullets will soon use the available space and prove the wisdom of having allowed that amount.

POTPOURRI Prehistoric Lake Dwellers Although a historian writing about 400 B. C. mentioned a prehistoric people known as Lake Dwellers, scientists now believe such groups probably existed some 14,000 years ago. Existence of their dwellings has been found ih Swiss and other southern European lakes. In Ireland and Scotland remains of the wooden piles and dwelling framework were well preserved. • Western Newspaper Union. Dip for Sheep Scab # Cure for the Disease Sheep scab, a parasitic disease of the skin caused by tiny mites, e£ift be cleared up by dipping the animals in a solution of lime and sulphur, coal tar disinfectant or 40 per cent nicotine sulphate. The solution should be made up at the rate recommended on the dip container, advises Wallaces* Farmer. For best results, the dip should be about 105 to 110 degrees in temperature. Keep each animal in the dipping vat for two full minutes. Keep badly infested sheep in for three minutes. Follow with a second dipping 10 to 12 days later. Failure to make a follow-up dip at exactly the end of this interval means a possible reinfestation with a new brood of mites. Along with treatment of the live animals, clean up and disinfect the sheds. Keep the dipped sheep out of these sheds for at least 30 days. In fact, following dipping, it is advisable to turn the sheep onto ground where they have not been running for a period of at least several months. - Our Washington Letter '«' Washington, September 28 --With the lessening of international tensions, attention of Official Washington is now turning to the fall session of the Supreme Court. The third branch of the Federal government meets next week with a calendar filled with cases, which vitally effect the ebb and flow of American economic and social life. The intense inactivity in the Solicitor- General's-office and other divisions of the Department of Justice reflects the keen interest manifested in forthcomv ing legal tests involving many of the controversial legislative measures passed by the last Congress. , With the prospect of only eight jurists sitting until the President names a successor to the late Justice Cardoza, speculation turns to the chances of a divided bench. There have been marked alterations in the line of thinking in this great tribunal within the last year so that legal experts are dubious in making prophecies as to the trend of majority and dissenting opinions. It is expected, however, that one of the early aftermaths of the unsuccessful Rooseveltian purge of Democratic Senators will be to place hurdles in the way of a confirmation of the judge nominated Jby the White House. The belief prevails in many quarters here that the supreme legal tribunal will again be called upon to make a more precise definition of the lines of demarcation where the powers of the Federal authorities begin and those of the states end. A comment in a recent case involving the jurisdiction of the National Labor Relations Board is receiving scrutiny by legal specialists inside and outside government circles because forty-four state legislatures meeting in 1939 will be governed by the tribunal's edicts. In the case mentioned the jurists state, "We have 9ften said interstate commerce is a practical consideration." The wage and hour administration .Officials have corrugated brows these Jays as they put the final touches on their rules and regulations. The business and labor world is anxiously Awaiting this new Federal agency's concept of interstate commerce to determine whether many industrial groups come within the control of the law for minimum wages and maxi-i mum hours. The rulings will probably be handed down within a fortnight. Many interpretations will be challenged in the lower courts immediately in order to speed a determination of the issue before the Supreme bench. Postmasters of the country in convention assembled a few days ago were given a pre-view of the Postmaster- General's annual report to Congress, which is not filed until January.

The National Ecopomic Committee, operating under broad investigatory powers, has business men oh their toes. In addition to the questionnaire method, the six Federal agencies cooperating with the Congressional group are about to launch a series of public hearings. Agents are abroad in the land digging up data on prices apparently with the fixed objective of establishing the theory that the public is mulcted by aritficial manipulation. The life insurance companies, which are the custodians of billions, are on the grill, especially the legal-reserve types which have huge investments in various corporations. The material from this group will furnish a background for more intensive studies by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Scores of foreign industrial leaders who attended the International Management Congress here last week are now visiting in various sections of the country. Their purpose is to make first-hand observations of the marvelous industrial system which has made America a top-flight nation.

This should be fed two or three times a day in the mash hoppers and on top of the mash. This lessens the chance of the chick picking up droppings. It is very essential that sufficient hopper space be suppliedso that all the birds can eat at one time. Where it is necessary to keep the chicks in "the brooder house, the ration should be supplemented with one per cent of biologically tested cod liver oil. However, if the birds have access to a range and direct sunlight this supplement is unnecessary. ---i- Exercise for Cows • ( Dairy cows should have exercise, but not an excessive amount, says C. W.

A decrease was noted, when they were shifted from exercise to rest. In further experiments, it was observed that during a period of exercise the feed consumption was increased, milk production maintained and percentage of fat increased over a correspondinjgrA period. of rest. *• \ White Plymouth Rock The White Plymouth Rock is the second most popular variety of this breed, according to a writer in the Wisconsin Agriculturist.
