Great Scientist, Scholar, Thinker, Usually Not an All Around Good Fellow

There is always danger when any one concentrates that the concentration will be carried too far—so far that It produces a narrow, one-sided and warped point of view, observes a writer. The great scientist, the great scholar and great thinker in any line, Is usually not nn all around “good fellow.” “Crabbed,” “queer,” “peculiar,” “odd,” “funny,” and “warped”—are these not the adjectives that generally describe the geniuses of the world? The very effort to concentrate on the one subject which has brought success has made it Impossible to keep in. touch with the thousand and one currents of thoughts and topics of conversation which go to make up comfortable and easy-going life. Like the old sea captain, these geniuses miss something in their effort to fix their attention on one thing. In spite of this danger, It is a good thing to work for concentration. The likelihood of becoming one-sided is big where genius is concerned, but then It can be excused. Most of us can safely concentrate our attention and still feel sure that we will keep in touch with the world about us.

Farmers to DiacuM Federation. At the request of the Indiana Federation of Farmers, Secretary P. H. Hauter has called a meeting of the board of directors of the Jasper County Betterment association which will ‘be held Monday evening, August 25th to confer with officials of the state association relative to the >200,000 guarantee fund which the fanners of the state are raising. The state federation will be represented by P. R. Burton, who has charge of this district. Will Stay By Ro.au Rye. Despite the practical failure of the rye crop this year in many localities, the majority of the growers of Rosen rye retain confidence in this variety and expect to sow it again this fall. Up until filling time, the new variety had every indication of outyielding the common rye two to one. Hot, dry weather and scab infestation made such inroads, however, that in some localities the yields secured fell 'below that of the common variety, poor as it was. Eight representative bhreshermen have been keeping records of the yields of all Rosen and common rye that they have threshed this season. These reports are not all in and complete statistics are not available, but the reports received indicate that the Rosen rye has averaged about three bushels per acre more than the common. While this is a small margin, most of the farmers realize the adverse rye conditions and among them the new variety has made many friends. Party to Attend District Meeting. A party of farmers, members of the Jasper County Betterment association, will auto to Lafayette on next Thursday, August 28th, to attend a district meeting of the Indiana Federation of Fanners, according to plans being made by Joseph Kosta, of Union township, who will be in charge of the party. The autos will leave the court house square at 7:30 o’clock in the morning and Mr. Kosta invites all who are interested in the state organization to be on hand and make the trip. Potash Plot. Doing,Well. That this is a year when potash fertilizers for corn are going to pay big dividends on the high priced goods is indicated by the appearance of the corn on several experimental plots which various farmers are carrying on on their farms.
