Don’t Treat Good Seeds Like a Stepchild
By T. C. RICHARDSON, Secretary
Howard Hugh#*
"Unpredictable"
Says Uncle Rupert
rp HE man who flew around the
I world In three day*, nineteen
hours, and seventeen minutes saw
very little of it.
Howard Hughes was in the air
only seventy-odd flying hours but
Howard Hughes and hit
round-tha-world chip
he has said that over two hundred
thousand hours were spent In pre-
paring for It.
In the October Issue of Cos-
mopolitan Magailnc. Rupert
Hughes, famous novelist, tells the
■tory of hla brilliant nephew.
■'ll was a pitiful thing that
neither his father nor his mother
lived long enough even to dream
of hts career as an aviator," Mr
Hughes writes. "They Usd the
highest confidence tn his mechan-
ical and scientific genius, but he
had not given a hint then of bis
aerial future'
The father of Howard Hughes,
and a brother of ths writer, was
a fearless adventurer from bis
cradle, the noted writer relates.
Young Hughes shows those traits,
too
"I am asked what Howard Is
going to do next. Even If he were
disposed to tell me hla secrets, It
ts difficult to lake Into one's con-
fidence an Ignoramus who doesn't
evetl»*s peak the name language.
The things Howard does and plans
are hard lo pul In words of one
syllable—paitlcularly such mono
syllables as would mean anything
lo me." Hughes says
“So 1 will not divulge hla
•cbemes for the future. Perhaps
be la not quite ears of them him-
self. There ts an Infinity or prob-
lems to be aolved, of Improve-
ments to be made, mechanisms to
perfect, that will render dying
safer, cheaper, more nearly fool-
proof and nature-proof.
"When asked If he would fly
around the world again, he Is re-
ported to have said. ‘Not on your
life.' He probably meant. ‘Not on
my life ‘
••Us,
Howard's round tbe world
flight has found our military
forces cooperating to tbe utmost.
The story was published that tba
personal cost of tbe flight to How-
ard was $300,000. He dented ihls,
saying that the Wright Company
hsul given him the two eleven hun-
dred horse power motors and thal
bis Lockheed ship had cost ntin
only slity-thousand dollars, and
the trip no more than five thou-
sand.
"But wltb thaf contribution lo
his country's preparedness for de-
fence went the consocrallon el
years of labor and those foul
great days and nights of couraga
and self-sacrifice when his life was
In pawn So he has earned the
floods of fame and glory I hal come
to few men until after they have
down out beyond their reach

work therefore improves when
general business gets worse and
vica versa It Is estimated that
the annual business done by
shoe repair shops in America
amounts to approximately $125,-
000.000. making an exceptionally
low average of only $1,500 per
store About 35 per cent of what
the shoe repairer charges for fix-
ing a pair of shoes goes for
leather, rubber and other ma-
terials. Total business done 20
years ago was $550,000,000 and
15 years ago $375,000,000 In those
days new shoes were more expen-
sive than nowadays, and people
had their shoes repaired over
and over before discarding them

The demand for shoe repair
The crowing number of per-
sons wh > confess to a dread of
night driving particularly be-
cau-t' of the nerve strain atten-
dant on seeing the way clear
amid a recurrent bewilderment
of oncoming headlights, may b"
cheered by the prospect of a mi-
'igation i f that menace by the
prospective introduction of a
new and special type of glass
both fore lights and for wind-
shield visors, according to Bert
H White director of a research
advisory service of a local bank
I! is forecast that cars may be
fitted with windshield visors and
headlights crossed with such
lenses; the effect being that
1 ght emanating from the head-
lamps will strike the roadway
and be reflected back through
the visor to the driver—in such
a way that the approaching car
will seem to be equipped with a
pair of purple discs Thus, It Is
said, the new glass will Illumine
the road ahead without blinding
the eyes of oncoming motorists;
and the implication Is that the
visor will not cause the driver’s
outlook to be more shadowy than
does ordinary windshield glass.
Doubtless It will be considerable
time, in any case, before the
automotive use of the new de-
vice will have become standard;
but any practical approach to
safer automobile illumination of
roadways at night will be wel-
comed with observant interest.
Meanwhile, much of the head-
ache of night driving will be mi-
ligated by motorists' considera-
tion in the use of dimmers. In
guarded steering and in more
general attention to the condi-
tion of headlights It may well
be borne In mind that the num-
ber of drivers handicapped by
some visual defect Is apt to be
comparatively greater in night-
diiving traffic.—Charleston News

Ft. Worth Hospital
Gets Big Endowment
The board of trustees voted to

of Dr Harris' father, the late
William H. Harris.

But the real and lasting vic-
tories are those of peace and not
of war Emerson.
At this Urn* of the year seed
for f*U traps demand consldera-
tton. Whether for fall, gArden,
or field crape. It U easier and
usually cheaper to buy seed
ahead of the main planting sea-
son. It is just too bad, tilth IU
ground all ready and the season
right, tba seed an not on hand
and local seed stores have sold
out. One or two days difference
in planting under the erratic
weather and soil moisture condi-
tions of the Southwest, often
means the difference between a
good stand and a poor one, and
a poor stand means a poor yield.
In the faU, when approaching
winter limits growth, planting at
the proper time and under the
best possible conditions, Is even
more important than tn spring.
Getting the land ready—mak-
ing a good seed-bed is (next to
good seed) the best Insurance of
getting a good stand and giv-
ing the seedlings a healthy start
in life. It ts not too much to
say that, of all things within the
farmer’s control, good seed and
a good seed-bed are the most
important factors In production.
It is too lfte to materially Im-
prove the condition of the soil by
tillage after the crop ts growing,
and seed worth planting deserve
something better than the treat-
ment of a step-child.
Different crops require differ-
ent seed-bed preparation, but no
preparation fit for planting can
be done after planting time js
upon us. Crops which need a
firm seed-bed must be anticipat-
ed by plowing long enough in
advance to permit the soil to set-
tle, or else extra work must be
done with cultlpacker or some
substitute to firm the sub-surface
and pulverize the surface soli.
The fall garden Is the most Im-
portant piece of ground on the
farm, and will amply repay all
the work put into it before plant-
ing time. In a large measure the
same Is true of field crops, with
especial emphasis on alfalfa,
sweet clover, vetch and small
grass seeds which must be cover-
ed lightly by fine soil, and yet
require a firm subsoil
The Southwest Is planting
more oats, barley, wheat, rye
grass and clovers for winter
grazing than ever before, and
the earlier they are sown the
more grazing may be expected
Where they aregrown primarily
for the grain, the small grains
will often pay a profit from
grazing alone. In the colder sec-
tions of the Southwest wheat
and rye grass, which are more
resistant to cold than oats or
barley, furnish most winter graz-
ing Rye grass is also increasing
in popularity in the Gulf Coast
region where rust often shortens
the grazing period of oats or
barley.
The Texas Experiment Station
i Bulletin No 5391 reports that
barley furnished more fall and
early winter grazing than other
crops, but Italian rye gra-s sup-
plied by far the greatest amount
of grazing In March. April and
May The two on the same farm
give a much longer grazing sea-
son than any one crop, and the
rye grass Is at Its best after live-
stock must be removed from
fields which are expected to pro-
duce a grain crop.
Green winter pastures supply
the all-important vitamins which
dry feed lack*, and contribute
greatly to tha health and growth
of livestock and poultry- The
time U feet approaching when
every good farmer will eow his
winter pasture* a* regularly a*
It la already a common prac-
tice to gram wheat, oats and bar-
ley where they are grown for
grain and If judiciously practic-
ed, does not reduce the grain
crop. In fact under some con-
ditions the yield of grain Is In-
creased by graalng.
Dairy cows, sheep and laying
hens probably respond most pro-
fitably to green winter pastures,
but all kinds of livestock thrive
better and cost less to produce
through the use of pastures, win-
ter or summer.

History’s Lesson
By an ironte twist France’s
navy minister, Cesar Camplncht,
made the dedication of a monu-
ment to Napoleon at Ajaccio,
Corsica, the occasion for some
philosophical observations on
dictators. "It Is a danger for a
state to rest upon a single man,”
the navy minister said. And
quoted Napoleon: "In time the
sword will always be beaten.”
That, of course. Is the Irrefutable
lesson of history. It Is a French
saying that the more things
change the more they are the
same Napoleon bestrode the
continent In his day and had
Britain by the throat. Today
another dictator has the peace

JLj Concinenul Europe munitions plants sre working 24 hours a
day. Huge fleets of airplanes are turned out monthly only to be
obsolete before they are scarcely broken in and thousands of spies
roam the land in search of the secrets of other nations.
In the October issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine, Stuart
noted author, baa analyzed Amer-4---------— - ---------
lea. “We bare our problems, but Cornwallis banded over hla sword
thank Ood we do not have theirito Washington, tbe thirteen lltUe
problems," Mr. Chase says. "This
article Is an appeal to my fellow-
countrymen to concentrate on ur-
gent domestic problems Instead of
Identifying themselves wltb prob-
lems across tbe sea." ^
"Now look at the United Stjues.
What a difference," he aays. -'ll
la a clean band, one thouaaod
miles broad, straight across the
continent of North America. The
provinces became thirteen sover-
eign "nations." They put up tar*
iff haulers against each other.
Connecticut taxed Imports from
Massachusetts at a higher rate
than from England. Money was
not "worth a continental" and
trade was at a standstill until a
few far-seeing gentlemen got to-
gether In Philadelphia and wrote
constitution. Tbls document
waves of tho Atlantic come turn- created a federal government de-
bllng In on one side, the long
rollers of the I’actfic on tho other.
To the South Is a big muddy river,
and beyond It a brown people of
a very ancient culture. This
boundary makes plenty of sense
To the north lies somu' more
United States In tho territory of
Alaska, and an Imaginary lino be-
yond which Is Canada. It doesn't
make much sense, but fortunately
It doesn't cause much trouble."
Pointing out that this band is
Itrger than England, liermany.
France, Italy and Japan combined,

"Here we are. one hundred and

Close adds. "We don l need to
