LONDON, Oct. 17.—According to
the Registrar-General’s official
figures, the marriage rate in Britain
in 1926 was the lowest since 1886—
except for the» war year of 1917.
And the number of births was the comforf
low'est since 1860, when the popula-I

is now.

is becoming a leading factor in the
crop rotation
mers, according to Harry Austin of
Washington, D. C. secretary of the
United States Beet Sugar Association.
“Since 1901 the area put in alfalfa
in the United States has quintupled,”
Mr. Austin said. “Alfalfa makes an
excellent rotation crop because it not
only produces a hay rich in albumin-
ous meat and milk producing nutri-
ment, but it retains a large amount of
nitrogen in its stubble and roots.
These make, nitrates for the nourish,
merit of crops that come later in rota
tion, relieving the former of the neces-
sity of buying expensive nitrogenous
fertilizers.
"Other reasons for alfalfa's steadily
increasing popularity are that it
makes small demands for costly la-
bor, it yields a large supply of protein
which is the most difficult of the
three principal food elements including
cure, and it may be sown with grain,
which acts as a nurse crop. Alfalfa
takes possession after the grain is cut.
“Sugar beet farmers have
falfa an ideal crop because
penetrate far into the lower
the subsoil. Later on the
bored out by alfalfa roots are utilized
by the sugar beets, which find a sup
ply of plant food accumulated in the
decayed tissues of the alfalfa that pre- a
viously tenanted the soil.

CROSS ROAD SCHOOL
BEING CONDEMNED
r-
WICHITA, Kansas, Oct. 17.—Defi-
ciency of the little red school house at
the, crossroads in educational facilities
and equipment is the underlying rea-
son for 1,000.000 persons annually for
asking the farm for the city, accord-
ing to Karl Kilby, head of the re-
search bureau of the Coleman Lamp
company. ”
"Eight million, pr two-thirds of the
total number of country school chil-
dren. attend classes in schools where
the equipment, if not wholly primitive
is inadequate,’ declared Mr Kirby.
I
"Electric lights or gasoline pressure (
lamps, the soft diffused light from j
which is the closest approach of any '
artificial illumination to daylight, fur-1
. naces and boilers, or radiant heaters
for fall weather, indoor plumbing and
[ventilation are still classed as unneces
sary luxuries iu thousands of coun-
try schools.
In view of tlie little provision
made for health and comfort of stu-
dents In the nation’s crossroad schools
the exodus of so many persons from
farms to city apartments is not aston-
ishing. What is astounding is that
conditions should be countenanced by
educators and school authorities in an
age when efficiency has been develop-
ed to a fine art.’
Forty million dollars is wasted in
country schools annually on instruc-
tion that fails of its purpose as a re-
sult of inadequate facilities. Mr. Kilby
said.
