Some people pass by poverty un-
moved and some pass through it un-
voved. Some farmers put on manners while
ta town that they ought to wear on
the farm.
Thero are possibilities on the farm
"which remain undeveloped until the
rfarntor finds them out

When our city cousins have eaten

Considerable damage has been dono

Success in getting a living from the
Soil depends much less on the size
of the farm than on the size of the
man..
The world looks up to some .men for
what they own nnd Intend to keep

hf these days pf high pork nnd
scarce breeding swine thero is littlo
controversy over the best brood. Even
the "scrub" has friends now.
To be a strong hand in the dark to
another In the time of need to bo a cup
or strength to a human soul In u cripls
of weakness is to know the glory of
fife.
Timely Intertlllago Is imperative.
Heavy rains "pack" the soil and unless
a mulch Is made to reduce evaporation
crops are apt to suffor for moisture
It used ta puzzle some farmqrs how
to keep tholr sons on the farm. Now
it Is puzzling some sons how to keep
their rich fathers from moving to tho
city.

Everything in nature has 'a purpose.
You may not know if but nature does
not clothe the fields with worthless
plants. Study tho weeds and find
thejr good qualities as well aa their
faults
Th0 man who jiever tries an thing
new is likely to stay in the old rut.
He who finds fault with Information
because it was given by a college man
or taken from a book 'written by a
college man Is closing the door of
opportunity before him. .
Do not forget that cowpeas and pea-
nuts are friends of poor land and un-
fortunate farmers. Their rapid growth
quick matin ity and commercial value
recommend them for latq planting.
Those who lost their crops by hail
or storm should plant them liberally.

Successful bankers merchants law.
yers and doctors never find fault with
their occupations. They enjoy their
work. Agriculture requires as much
skill and attention as any other occu-
pation but thoso who do not find It
attractive will hardly succeed.
Tho man that diversifies his crops

his pioducts to advantage haB no
fear of debt and tho high cost of liv-
ing. Ho is a prbducer and not n con-
sumer only. With him the farm pays
and its environment is attractive.

Who plans "scrub" seeds should
