Sugganice
By W. D.J.Smiley
Every St. Patrick's Day I try
to write- a • column • ., about . the
Irish. And, every year. i give it
up as a ' bad folk. What can you
say about the Irish, good or bad,
that they have not ' already said
about 4 themselves, • being' the
greatest 'talkers and writers ' on
the face of "the' earth?
About ninety-four per cent, of
this'. talking and writing is pure
Irish blather, but the remainder
is 'as fine and true as anything
that ' has , come from tongue or
pen. •
•' I'mi no• authority on ' the • Irish,
and I' promise that anyone who
finds a single ,"begoral}" in this
column may clobber- me with ' a
leprechaun. But it (behooves' me,
as a student of the' highways and
byways, the 'odds ; and sods, to
peer through the fog, • and • squel-
ch through the bog, in an 'honest
'effort to find the real essence of
the Irish. • '
v—v— . .
Fortunately for the'. cause ; of
pure • research, there ' are hordes
of genuineauthorities on 'Ireland'
and' the- Irish. They are all. Irish-
,irien, of • course. No" ' nation on
'earth has. found' itself so' fascin-
ating as the Irish: No people has
ever examined' itself' 'with ' .such'
untiring delight, : such ' hopeless
disgust.
Most of. • of: the' confision ` about.
the Irish must rest. 'with their'.
writers, The brooding, turbulent,
''hilarious soaring ' language of.
theirpoets, story -tellers and dra-
matists • has ' tumbled into our.
ken an 'Irishman who ' ishalf-
man,,half-myth, half -clown, half-'
•hero.
If. we listed all the fine thing's
'the. •Irish: have to say .about,: them-
selves, '';*e'd have'them .down as
loyal' •to the death; witty ;as: ail,
hell . fun -loving; handsome;
deeply . religious; sensetive; ' and
with' a fine disdain,: for the 'mat-
erial things of :life, ; to mention
only a few self -bestowed virtues.
—v -v-
And if we listed all: the sorry,
things ,Irishmen• call themselves,
we'd • put down: • cowardly.:; . trea
clerous.; simple=minded;' morose;
ugly • as: sin; ' deeply" prbfane;
coarse • .as crows; and With, a
Shrewd eye for ; a : shilling, ; •to:
name • but a few • self -bestowed
vices.
•—v—v—
This is : to say that' the Irish
are ' just like everybody ' 'else:
Which, of .course, is ridiculous,
and ' any Irishman worth his
weight in ;boiled: ' potatoes will
attack, » this slander at the drop i
of a :rock.
—v—v-
There's :.one thing about the
'.Irish, for example, that'. stands,
'out like .the head on a. draught,
of :Guinness. •. Aside, of, course,;`
from the ..fact 'that :they:'re. bad=.
tempered; garrulous; inc.onsist
ent; ,self—Pitying, lyrical, hurry-
ourous, warm=hearted and en-
tirely charming,
•
And that one thing is the mem
'ory of them. They have a mem-
ory that would make a self -res-
petting elephant ;wind: his:: ,trunk
around his'. left earin an ecstacy
of • embarrassment. The Irish
have never.forgotten '• 'anything,
which is at once their.' curse and
their.: glory: •
vv_
An Irishman just ,one ,jump
out of the ,bog will remind you
with 'some disdain. that 'the em-'
.erald isle was a centre of learn-
ing, a cultured, Christian, count-
ry, .when the British were just.
climbing out of ' their ':coracles:
and wiping ' the woad off their
faces. And,good for him. But the
sane fellow, will, tell you the
reason he hates the English
because of the rough treatment
his folk got from 'Cromwell. To
hear •him tell it, you'd think it
.had been last :Hallowe'en; not

FOR PRODUCTIVE HAY AND' PASTURE
*" Mixed hay` and pasture yielding 2 . tons dr y
matter per acre requires approximately 90 lbs.
nitrogen, 45 ' lbs. phosphorous . and 9.0 lbs.' po-
tassium. , `
-With an application of 8 tonsmanure per acre,
approximately 24 lbs. nitrogen, 8 lbs. phosphor-
ous and' 32 lbs. potassium is all that willbe:.
made . available the first . year..:: Legumes can
supply some a of the nitrogen lacking, but phos-
phorous and potassium will have to. be supplied'
supplementary. .
For example, where grasses dominate on heavy
land which is manured once every threeyears,,
there should be . a jfall application' of .>5-10.15 at,
300 to 600 lbs. peracre every 3 years .
For further recommendations consult your
local Agr. Rep. or CO-OP.

Another thing 'you'll '.notice KINLOSS' NEWS
about the ' I•rish : is their immense
self-satisfaction. Who else would
excuse the : possession of a foul=
temper by declaring. proudly;: "I
guess it's the Irish in Me."'
—v --v
:One more national • trait is
their glee ;'in throwing »cold wat-
er, ''They :don't.,` really. ' mean it.
But show as Irishman 'a' silver.
lining' and he'll show you a black
cloud..'..
•However, it takes all kinds to
make a world, , and some of my;
best friends are Irish, but how.
would you • like your ,sister ,to
,marry, 'one?, Well,- my ;sister's
•brother . married one, and I,' :tell
you, boys, • you never know'
whether it's • a kiss or 'a kick
