Roguing the Seed P lot itnarcittdoinne
No good seed grower can grow
me grain without working over hi;
fields and seed plots, to remove the
impurities or "rogues" which he may
find in the growing grain. This re-
moving of impurities is called "rogu-
At the present time, it is practic-
ally an impossibility to grow pure •
seed grain without carefully and
painstakingly going over every foot
of the area set aside for seed, and
picking out the odd beaded heads
where the seed crop is very good and
from the bald main crop. Even
no really understanding impurities
can be noticed, the careful grower
goes over the plots to remove the
plantwhich are not quite up to the
high standard .et for good seed.
The eaelest way to "rogue" a seed
plot is to walk clown the seven inch
path between the drills, and careful-
ly scrutinize all tie headwhich be-
come visible in each nf the three or
four drille on r.ttach side of the path
carefully, and noting the heads
being followed. By walking 'lowly,;
in the six or ,eaen rows as you pass;
along, all impurities or abnormalities
can be quickly thsteeted, and the off ;
type pilules can then be pulled up by
the roots, If the plot is particularly
bad, turn about and ome Leek an

Naval Disarmament
The friends • of naval armament
especially in English-speaking world,
cannot help but rejoice over the fav-
orable atmosphere that is reported
to exist in the conference going or:
between Premier Ramsay MacDon-
ald of Britain, and Amassador Char-
les G. Dawes of the United States.
As a result of these interviews the
prediction has been made that there
is a strong liklihood that a naval
conference will take place between
Britain and the United States in
London in the autumn, at a date
that will not interfere -with British
Premier's visit to the United States.
The leapt of a definite advance in
the limitation of naval armaments
has become much brighter, owing to
the fact that both Premier MacDon-
ald and President Hoover have
shown a disposition to sweep away
technicalities in order, if possible,
to achieve success in this great move
ment for peace.
Moreover, the fact that a partial
suspension of naval construction
has taken place in both countries is
already an augury of good success.
Premier MacDonald, it is said, is ex-
ceedingly hopefull of reaching a fin-
al argument which while recognizing
the principle of parity will allow a
certain amount of elasticity in the
naval categories so as to meet the
different requirements of the two
countries, Thus the approach to a
settlement appears based on sound
common sense. President Hoover has
publicly announced that party with
Groat Britain "is enunciated by our
naval autholitiee as a complete de-
fense of the United States in any
contingency." If any equal latitude
is permitted to Great Britain. as hint
ed in the foregoine declaration of
Premier MarDonald, the prospects
would appear to be bright for the
lsoelrusiion of this roe:reliable contro-
y.

species. They seem to know instinc-

I have seen them disappear down the
gangway a few minutes after we bad
docked, and never show themselves
again until just before sailing time.
And I have heard of their quieting a
ship In one port and rejoining 11 at
the other side of the globe.
"Sometimes in port you'll see a
dozen of them congregated at the end
of a dock like sailors just home from
a long voyage who have got together
to swap yarns or compare the rela-
tive merits of their shine,"
Almost from time immemorial cats
have been going to sea. The ancient
Romans were so well acquainted with
their roaming habits that in Rome
the cat became a symbol of liberty.
The ancient Goddess of Liberty was
represented holding a• cup in one
hand, a broken sceptre in the other,
and with a cat lying at her feet.
Roy Urban, wireless operator of
the President Polk, tells a story of a
ship's cat that deserted the San Jose
while that ship was in Puerto Cas -
tette and rejoined it later in New Or-
leans. Most ships are geed to have
the eats aboard, for they kill rats

Usually, however, sailors dislike
black cats, the popular superstition
being that they bring bad luck, There
are exceptions. The United Fruit
Company's San Pablo carries four of
the blackest cats that ever graced a
steamer's deck. They were aboard
when the San Pablo rode the hur-
ricanes which did vast damage in
Miami and Havana a few years go
and came through unscathed. And on
other occasions, with these four mas-
cots aboard, the San Pablo has en-
countered waterspouts off Florida and
escaped without damage.
Not long ago the crew of the fish-
ing schooner Clifton of Wildwoed,
N.J., rebelled when they found Cap-
tain Hilding Peterson had taken

the captain throw the ce1 overboard,

interesting Story of Overcrowding of
London's Poor.
Among the bateresting stories told
of overcrowding in the poorer parts
of London, is to be found the follow-
ing:
In many "of the poorer districts
whole families have been known to
be crowded into one room.
But not only that, for it has been
known to the health authorities that
not only a whole family have been
found in one apartment, but in one
rather large room four families have
been found, one in each corner!
Worse than that, a case was known
-where not only was a family found
in each corner, but there was also a
family occuping the middle of the
room
And yet all went quietly and
peaceably in the apartment until the
family in the middle started to take

Minister's Partiality for Snuff.
In a certain district itt th.e north of
Scotland, about twenty years ago,
there lived a Presbyterian minister
who possessed a keen sense of humor
and had a particular partiality for a
pinch o' snuff.
One day he was visiting one of the
elders of his church. Before leaving
the house the minister was invited to
take a pinch from the elder's snuff-
box. Taking advantage of the offer,
the divine helped himself to a "good-
ly" pinch and applied it first to one
nostril, saying, "A little here," then
to the other with the remark, "A lit-
tle there."
