But extensive surveys by Anne Ward of Smith college revealed that "only children" are less spoiled than the average child. On mental tests they were normal; above average in leade'rship, selfconfidence and aggressiveness; more affectionate and showed less tendencies to lying, stealing and cheating. They ranked above other children in "food fads." Studies at the Minneapolis Child Guidance clinic revealed similar facts. Like the minister's son, the "only child" has been much under-rated and unjustly maligned.

National Security Requires Productive Land. ' * ^ PROF. J. C. CHAPM4K (Department of Agronomy, University oi Wisconsin) American agriculture is coming to realize that a national defense program against the forces of soil depletion and exploitation is just as vital to the future of this country as defense j»§ainst foreign aggression. In evftfry past age soil fertility has played\a dominant part. Succeeding civilizations have sought and fought foN fertile lands that would provide food and clothing. The restlessness of the earth's early • inhabitants, their migrations and invasions of new countries were in most instances due to the depletion of the soils in their own coun-!. tries and a desire to acquire and; settle the more fertile areas of the" then-known world. It wag not until comparatively recently that the development of the< science of soil chemistry taught the nations of the world how to maintain soil fertility on their lands. Of recent date, too, is the recognition by American agriculture off the dangers of soil exhaustion inJ this/country. Farmers have come to realize that every year they are selling plant food from their land in the form of cash crops, dairy products and live stock. They haves discovered that even in a system of live stock farming where all the crops are fed to sfock and the manure returned to the fields, they are losing fertility at an alarming rate. Everywhere we have been drawing checks on our bank account--the soil --and spending and using our fertility much faster than we have been' replacing it with plant foods. The hopeful fact in our situation, however, is that farmers in increase ing numbers are becoming aware of the seriousness of these losses and are taking steps to prevent them. They are using lime and fertilizers and following soil and crop management practices that will restore the native productiveness of their farms. This national defense program against the forces of soil depletion is steadily gathering momentum. It is being spurred forward through the co-operation of the federal government, the AAA, the state agricultural colleges, and farmers' organizations everywhere. The war against soil exhaustion gives promise of final victory. Anton Stedry, an uncle of Mrs. Albert Vales of McHenry, died at 1:45 p. m. on Thursday, March 13, 1941, lit his home in Chicago after an illness of many years' duration. He was seventy-six years and two months of age, Funeral services were held from Sdecs funeral chapel at 6337 West Cermak road, Berwyn, to Our Lady of the Holy Mount church in Cicero. Speakers were the Rev. .Albert Dedera, pastor of the church and Frank Veselik, president of the Builders and Contractors union, of which Mr. Stedry had been a member for fiftyfour years. The burial was in St. Adelbert's cemetery. Before his death, Mr. Stedry wrote the following poem which Was not read until after his pasisng; "God be with you, wife and children mine, At my grave it's useless to Return to your own' lives And let me sleep'in peace." Feeling a heavy jar on his automobile while driving at night Arthur Schroeder of Waterloo, N. Y., investigated and found a colt on the hood.

Capons Require Special Care Before Marketings Where capons are being fattened! fqr market they should be fed a regular growing ration and plenty^ of whole grain, which should be hop per fed. Clean quarters and range are important. Close confinement should be avoided. A clean operr field with protection from the weather, such as that afforded by a good range shelter, is ideal. During the last couple of weeks before marketing, it will pay to feed a wet mash twice a day consisting of growing mash and milk or whole grain soaked in milk in addition to the usual ration. Such feeding will improve the quality of the birds, but actual poundage is made by keeping them on a full and complete growing ration throughout the summer and fall months. Worms should be strictly guarded against, tapeworms in particular, since wormy capons simply refuse to get fat. If the birds are wormy, they should be treated without fail. After which, they should be removed to a clean range. Mulch of Pine Needles. Reforests Eroded Field ^ .Pine needle mulch can sometimes be used to reforest old fields or clay gall areas, recent experiments at the Southern Piedmont Soil Conservation Experiment station at Athens, Ga. show. Seeking an economical way ot seeding eroded areas, the station mulched four clay-gallcd plots with 800 pounds of pine-needle litter from adjacent woods. In five months a healthy mixed vegetation developed, including more than 1,600 shortleaf sbedlings~~an %verf^e of two seedlings from each pound of mulch. The study will observe for several years the survival and height growth of the seedlings resulting from this simple and inexpensive scattering pine-needle litter over the bare area to a depth of about one inch. If only one-fourth of the existing seedlings live for five years, the area will be well planted.
