Where happineaa for the entire
family costs ao little.
There are some farmers who
are farming better soil today, than
when the land was first cleared.
These are the one* who have put
more fertilisers back on the land
than the crops removed. Commer-
cial fertilizers are used on grasses
and legumes to make them grow,
but to maintain the soil's produc-
tivity and to keep it In a good
physical condittom some organic
matter must be teturned to the
soil. Organic matter comes from
plants and animals that die and
return to the soilj Organic matter
helps to open the soil so that
plants grow best, more water is
absorbed and held better, and as
It decomposes .the plant nutrients,
which it contains, are 'released
slowly to growing plant*. Organic
matter keeps the soil from baking
in the summer, and in thi process
of decomposition certain organic
acids are released which help to
make soil nutrients more available
One of the best and tnose practi-
cal ways to put organic matter
Into the soil is to plant grass and
legumes on it, and to leave as
much on the ground to rot as is
taken off. Clean tillage of row
crops, and overgrazing of pastures
quickly depletes the organic sup-
ply and leaves the soil and plants
in poor condition.
Millions of pine trees have been
planted In the Wood and Sulphur-
Cypress Soli Conservations Dis-
tricts in the last few years. The
pine belt line runs through those
districts with the pine trees most-
ly in the eastern part. Tree plant-
ing is becoming more popular
each year with farmers of this
area. Nurseries have not been able
to supply enough tree! the last
few years and there won’t be [
enough this year. The allocation
of trees for this year is exhausted
now. so if you are one who wanted
trees you'll have to wait until next
year.

PREACHER WHITT has done
It again. Most husbands when
buying an air-conditioned car
offer the excuse that it ie tor
their wife and we though sure
that the preacher would have the
same excuse but he fooled us. We
saw him riding in it and began
questioning him. thinking possi-
bly some of his good members had
acquired a soft spot in their head
and expeoting the same old ex-
cuse. Everyone knows that his
congregation overruled him last
summer and spent between 15 and
20 thousand dollars air-condition-
ing the sanctuary of his church.
We know now why he opposed
the air-conditioning at that tltte.
He told us that Preachers
only com- dona them all one better. He hag ger fish
