We had a letter the other day
Irom 4 reader who wished to
tell other readers how to raise
corn. His prescription was
short and simple: Put corn
stalks or green pine boughs iu a
furrow, bed on this furrow and
plant the corn.
Now, this man had really
found out one important fact—
that his soil sadly needs humus;
but he had not found out how to
get that humus. Imagine a
man putting pine boughs or corn
stalks along all the rows in a
twenty-acre corn field, and
thinking that he was doing
profitable work! It is just such
wasteful and and laborious
"fiddling" about and "making
believe" at farming that ails
the South to day. What that
man wants to do is to sow his
corn land in cowpeas and then
put in some winter-growing
crop. Then the next season he
can grow peas ol sow beans, or
peanuts or even sweet potatoes
on it, sow it in crimson clover,
plow the clover under and there
by add more humus and more
nitrogen to his soil in two years
than he would get in a lifetime
of monkeying with oorn stalks
and pine bought.
Those corn stalks have a con*
siderable feeding value if prop-
erly handled, and the manure
they wohld jn&ke would be worth
more than the stalks bedded in
the rowe as he describes. Yet
he evidently thought his plan
good for the soil. We must
count the cost of our labor in
count!n$ thet*x k&f crop.
We hs ve been doing sq much
unprofitable labor which &e
might have avoided that it is
hard for us toget out of the
habit. We must get out, how-
ever, and get down to genuine
farming.
If your soil needs humus—as
most Southern soils do—get it
by the growing of leguminous
drops andthe feeding of live
stock; don't go to playing about,
filling furrows with corn stalks
and making beds over them,
doing a lot of needless work and
merely returning to the soil a
small part of what has bead
taken from it. The hope of the
farmer lies not in a few new
quack methods and spectacular
discoveries, but ^in the old
fundamentals of genuine, all-
round "good farming."—Stark-
ville (Miss.) Southern Farm
Gaze tte.
Notwithstanding thar. tbou;
stnds of persons are engaged in
the poultry business, the in-
creases continue. Those who
have engaged in it with a view
of making a living, find that
where they have to buy feed it
costs from $1.75 to $2.00 a year
to keep a hen, or about 4 cents
a week. And there is where
the farmer gets the best of it,
for his poultry gets its living
without cost or effort on his
part.
The records show that today,
on the general farms, poultry
pays the largest dividends, al-
though it receives the least at-
tention. The price of poultry
and eggs in the last ten years
has increased in price to the con-
sumer faster than any other
agricultural product except ba-
con. Eggs have increased 47
per cent, poultry 37 per cent,
being 10 per cent higher than
any other food product, such as
potatoes, beef, pork, mutton, etc.
In no case has grains increased
in such proportion.—Kansas

Step In To-Day
Everlasting sorrow: No one
ever went to a good business
college with honest intent and
serious purpose who did not
consider it money, time and
labor weil expended. Thousands
wbohave not gone, regret?"
fib* fact that they did not. You
can go if you really hunger and
thirst for an education.
Nowhere else will you meet
such choice companions. The
earth's noblest young women
are in the colleges, and at no
other time of life can you make
such strong and lasting friends.
Girls and boys from our most
cultivated homes assemble an-
nually at our ^college, If you
do not go to college these choice
friendships are lost to you for-
ever. „
Do dot postpone your going
to college. Youth is the tim^
for preparation, just as spring
is the seed-time. The farmer
who does not pLant his seed in
springfime has no harvest. If
he hasn't the money to buy the
seed, he borrows it. If you
haven't the mouev to go to col-
lege, borrow it, and pay it back
out of salary earned after grad-
uation. You can do this.
You can prepare yourself to
fill your stat'on in life better—or
if you must earn your living,
you can earn more and choose
your occupation. If you are
wealthy, all the more reason for
going to college. Your wealth
may go, but your education can
not be taken from you.
Business education is an asset
worth thousands. It is an equip-
ment for life's work. It gives
the power to earn. It destroys
poverty and enthrones prosperi-
ty. It cannot be lost or stolen.

reader, not to attend the Tyler

Chancellor Kent, when he said:
