Sweetest of All Sounds
Xenophon declared that the "aweet-
eat of all sounds it praise." He pro-
bably was right.
Alexander Pope warned that
"praise undeserved is scandal in dis-
guise." He must have had in mina
that flattery which a noted lexico-
grapher described as "false, insincere
or excessive praise."
Praise, then, when deserved and
sincere is an excellent thing, but
flattery is 'something to be shunned.
Praise, used judicially, inspires aud
encourages. If the person praised
deserves i(, even in measure, he will,
if Vise, let it go to his heart but
not to his head. If it goes too
strongly to the head, it will be a
strong and dangerous wine, intoxi-
cating and filled with folly. If it
goes to the heart, then it may cause
him to feel he must be worthy of it.
It is human nature for men to de-
t're praise, just as it is human na-
ture to despise flattery, when re-
cognized for What it is. When a
man is so vain that flattery serves
for praise, that is doubly foolish.
Sincere praise may turn a head, but
flattery whirls the heada of the fool-1
ish, the vain and the light-headed.
Praise is strong medicine. Too much
is bad. A little is good. Adminis-
tered as it should be, it is an in-
spiration. Dr. Samuel Jonson once
remarked that "praise, like gold and
diamonds, owes its value to its scar-
city." It is because of its scarcity
on the tongues of men that Xenophon
described it as the "sweetest of ail
sounds."

"The corn prod*

shels of American grown corn every
year," said Mr. Chapín. "Of this
about 80 per cent goes Into the manu-
facture of corn sugar. If this great
quantity of corn were not used for su-
gar making It would have to be ex-
ported and take Its chances for profit
In the world market In competition
with foreign corn produced at a lower
cost than American farmers can pro-

"Greater development of the corn
sugar Industry would be to the Inters
est of every American fanner growing
corn. It would Increase the market
for his surplus corn, tend to stabilise
the prices and add millions of dollars
annually to the nation's farm revenue.
Elimination of the present discrimi-
nation In the federal regulations
against corn sugar used In commercial
canning and preserving would be an
Important step la this direction. The
use of corn sugar In manufactured
food products without being so labeled
should be no more of an Impairment
of the nation's purs food laws than
the use of beet or cane sugar for such
purposes. The American rara Bu-

New Small Grain
Varieties Profitable
Denton—If all farmers in this
county hsd grown Denton wheat last
year there would have been an ad-
ditional 8150,000 farm income, judg-
ing by the reports of 14 demonstra-
tors to M. T. Payne, county agent.
Those men planted 173 acres to this
variety from Which they threshed an
average of seven bushels more to tho
acre than from ordinary seed. At
market prices it represented a nut
profit of 81211.
This variety of wheat 'was origi-
nated by the Denton Experiment Sub-
station and has been multiplied and
distributed by the Denton County
Pedigreed Grain Association which
sold the entire production of 2419
bushels of its farmer members to
105 men in many different section*.
The Association similarly multi-
plies and distributer another experi-
ment -station variety of small grain,
Niortex oats, and the demand has
been so great that orders for several
thousand bushels were turned down.
El'.H of Mr. Pavne's Nortex oats
demonstrators report increased yields
of 12 bushels per acre over other seed
which represents an increased net j
1 profit of per acre. If the entire]
oat acreage of Denton county had
been rowed to this variety farmers
I would have received between 8200,000
j and 8300,00 more last year, he

"Recovery of
the Louisiana sugar Industry Is one of
the most remarkable achievements of
agricultural science," declared Mr.
Burguleres. "Between 1922 and 1027
the state's cane sugar yield fell from
806,000 tons to only 48,000 tons.
Spread of the cane borer and other
plant parasites threatened to ruin all
sugar plantations.
"Agronomists employed by the
American Sugar Cane League discov-
ered In Java a new hardy variety of
cane called 'P. O. J,' after the Dutch
name of the Java Experimental Sta-
tion, Troestatlon Ooet Java.' The
new canc was of high sugar content
and heavy yield with strong roots and
resistant to disease.
"Samples of the new cane, brought
to Louisiana by the U. 8. Department
of Agriculture a few years ago and
distributed among planten, prospered
in Louisiana soil and resisted attacks
of the cane borer. In 1988 about ISO,-
000 acres were planted and the state's
sugar production reached 100,000 tons.
With Increased acreage ta 1020, Lou-
isiana's sugar output will again reach
800,000 tons.

labor far below American living stand-

occasionally is a constant drag upon
the profits of the farmer who is de-
pending upon his poultry flock for
a substantial profit.
Figures available from a test made
by the University of Illinois indicated
that the average profit on 264 flocks
averaging 161 hens each *wus 86
cents per hen, but the average on the
best two-thirds of the flocks was
82.28 per hen. In other words, the
"loafers" in the flocks were eating
up 81.42 cents Worth of the profits
the good hens produced.
Presence of hens laying less than
00 eggs a year on farmB throughout
the country is standing between far-
mers and a substantial profit from
their poultry, according to U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture figures.
Need of better stock on the farms of
America is paramount, according to
investigators, because under persent
conditions, many farmers are con-
ducting their poultry business at n
direct loss.
Co-operation of the hatcheries of
the country has been secured in an
attempt to raise the standard of poul-
try on farms. Formation of hatch-
cries into a business organization for
the purpose of insuring farmers and
poultry raisers of absolute fair deal-
ing took place within the last year.
These hatcheries, united under the
slogan, "Hatchery Chicks for Greater
Profits," are pledged to the produc-
tion of chicks from good egg laying
