WHY NOT MAKE THE BACK
YARD PAY?
The lowly and unpretentloua back
yard of every home If properly util-
ized can be made to provide a large
per cent of the food for the family
and thereby become an Important fac-
tor In reducing the coHt of living. The
Galveiton Newa In dlacurnilng the
subject suggeated by the caption of
thli article aays:
"Why not make the back yard pay?
It anyone who la interested In home
gardens would Inquire of aoroe of Gal-
reaton's successful home gardeners
as to the pleasure and profit they de-
rive from their industry be would be
imbued with an enthusiasm that
would Inspire him Immediately to es-
say a similar undertaking himself.
The soil of any back yard In the city
by an hour or two of Intelligent appli-
cation a day can be made to produce
vegetables and frulta in such abund-
ance as to reduce considerably in the
unpretentious home the problem of
the cost of living. Moreover as a
means of promoting sanitation and
civic attractiveness the home garden
is truly efficacious as where fruits
and vegetables Vlirlve there must be
wholesome surroundings and where
a garden grows there is undeniably
beauty.
""Hie farmer who has diversified his
crops has suffered none of the pangg
of the cotton depression that his
brother has felt who has devoted his
all to the growing of cotton. He has
been able to produce abundance for J
his table and perhaps enough more toj
net him an appreciable amount of j
canh wllh vthlch In pun-bane tho-e
necessary things to comfort and pleav 1
tire that cannot be grown. Put the ;
cotton raisins farmer is not nlone J
In his embarrassmc-nt. Whnt of the
city man who has been affected by
the commercial stagnancy much as
the cotton growing farmer lias been
affected? He Is not dependent upon
the ralHlng of cotton for lila liveli-
hood but he Is dependent for his liv-
ing upon that condition of business
prosperity that the rapid movement
of cotton helps to sustain. How well
It is for him if he has utilized IiIb
opportunities as the farmer who di-
versifies has utilized his and pro-
duced a considerable part of his food.
In Galveston as elsewhere this for-
tunate condition can be contributed
to. If not wholly shaped and preserv-
ed by utilizing the humble services
of the back yard."
Will the Balkan States Join Eng-
land France and Russia? Vndor nor-
mal conditions there Is llttlo doubt
' of their doing so as all of them have
a deep and abiding enmity against
Turkey. Between Bulgaria and Greece
there Is a hatred however scarcely
less Intense than the hatred of both
for Turkey and they would hardly
unite in battle even against a com-
mon foe. Bulgaria has declared her
neutrality and what the others will
do in view of Turkey's recent action
will be awnlted with keen interest.

The best advice we can offer the
farmers of Texas Is to raise plenty of
everything needed for home consump-
tion and let Congress and the Texan
Legislature go to the devil.

Something to eat and something to
wear are all that ran possibly be pro-
duced from the soli. Some people
dnn't wear much but every hoof and
hide must eat. The wise thing to do
Is to raise the things for which there
Is the greatest demand.
Whltecappera made a demand on a
Kauffman editor. Fortunately It was
only a demand that he publish a rer-
tuln notice and not that he dig up
from the depths of his jeans a large j
sum of coin.

It will bo the business of the allies
so far as they are able to relieve the
people of Belgium and to redress their
wrongs If possible when the war Is
over. "Wrongs" is the word; the
German chancellor has said It and
promised reparation but a reminder
may be necessary. In modern his-
tory said the Pelglan consul at Edin
burgh he did not think there had
been so much suffering concentrated
In so short a time and In so narrow
an area. That was a month ago and
since then things have gone from bnd
to worse but even then something
unique in history had happened; an
entire Nation of the unemployed had
been created. Belgium with 6."0 peo-
ple to the square mile Is one of the
most highly Industrial of Nations and
Industry stopped when the war be-
gan. Seven-eighths of It has been
seized by invaders and much of the
rest overrun and ravaged. Cities
have been burned foodstuffs seized
crops destroyed huge contributions
levied possibly a million or more of
Us 7500000 people are In exile living
on charity in other countries which
are also distressed. The rest are
without employment and In great part
without means multitudes larking
even shelter. And all this for defend-
ing Belgium's treaty rights. The
world owes brave little Belgium much.

CROWINO WINTER
OATS IN THE 80UTH
Washington Nov. 4. Every South-
ern farmer should grow enough oats
to feed his work stock during ut least
a portion of the year. In addition to
furnishing feed grain at leaa cost than
It can be purchased full-sown outs
prevent the washing of the soli by
which much fertility Is frequently
lost. There IS still time to sow win-
ter outs In the Gulf States though
this work should bo done at once if
good results are to be obtained. Ac-
cording to specialists of the I'niten
States Department of Agriculture
oats sown In the Southern Stutes dur-
ing October or the first half of No-
vember may bo expected to produce
at least twice the yield of gruln die
(ulned from spring seeding.
Winter grain may be sown cm hind
which produced a crop of cotton corn
or cowpeaa the past summer. If this
land has not already been plowed It
will be better to make the surfii'e
oil fine and loose with the disk or
drng harrow than to delay seeding by
plowing now. Better results arn ou
talned from sowing with the drill
than from broadcast seeding though
If a drill la not available sowing the
seed broadcast on well prepared land
usually results In a good stand. If
the preceding crop' was well fertilized.
