Other Commandments For Farmers. I
“He who obeys these precepts )
shall reap abundant crops. He
who violates them shall be pun-
ished by decrease in yield pro-
portioned to the transgression.”
Professor W. C. Palmer, agri-
cultural editor of the extension
department at the State Agri-
cultural College of North Dakota,
says this is a foreword to “the
ten commandments on dry farm-
ing.” • ■ V
I. Thou shalt plow deep.
Deep plowing permits rain to
penetrate the soil and without
running off; provides more feed-
ing space for plant roots and
makes available more plant food.
II. Thou shalt keep the sur-
face soil loose.
This prevents soil moisture
from evaporating and conserves
the rainfall. Harrow grain after
it is up two inches or use weeder.
III. Thou shalt cultivate level.
Level soil affords least expos-
ure to the air and will take in
rainfall faster than ridged soil.
IV. Thou shalt summer fallow.
This should be practiced in all
districts where the annual pre-
cipitation is less than 15 inches,

Weeds consume moisture and
plant food, crowd plants, shade
crops, retard plant life and make

V Newspaper Space
Every line of newspaper space
costs its_ publisher something. If
it is to benefit some individual ho
Should fairly expect to pay some-
thing. You do not go in a gro-
cery and ask the proprietor to
hand you out ten pounds of su-
gar for nothing, even though
your grocer may be a personal
friend of yours and even though,
the gift might be a large one. j
If the beneficiary of advertis-
ing will not pay for it the propri-
etor has to settle that bill. Nev-
ertheless many people can not
seem to realize that a newspaper
pays its expenses by renting its.
space, and it is just as much en-
titled to pay for that rent as you
are for the house that you rent
to a tenant.
Most newspapers expect to
treat religious and philanthropic
institutions liberally, yet in spite
of this many of these enterprises
expect the newspaper to give
them rent space free, while they
carry their job printing to some
other shop. The place for them
to look for support is the place
they patronize.
Religious organizations, we
are sorry to say, are the worst
offenders in this line we have to
deal with. We believe that we
are just as good Christians, and
are just as generous as the
average merchant on the street.
We therefore can not understand
why we are repeatedly besought
to give away our goods, by the
people who wTould never think of
going to the milkman and beg-
ging cream or to the grocer, for
coffee.—Gouverneur (N.Y.)Free
Press.

Some of the most miserable
people in the world are those
who have accumulated large for-
tunes. If I were in search of
happy people I would not go to
the homes of the immensely rich,
nor would I go to the homes of j'not
the terribly poor. I would steer
clear of these two extremes. I
would go into the homes of those
who have labored to do right and
at the same time have tried to
not become helplessly poor or
miserably rich. It is the homes
of the middle class of people that
happiness dwells. The man who
is designated a good liver in the
community, wholpays his obli-
gations and provides well, not
extravagantly, for his house-
hold is the hajipy man.—Rev. J.
P. Hicks in Fort Worth Star Tel-
egram.
The cultivation required for
corn saves moisture, kills weeds
and plant diseases. Corn is the
best preparation for a grain crop;
it produces more food and fodder
per acre than other crops. Do
hill up the corn, as this
wastes the moisture.
IX. Thou shalt grow clover or
alfalfa every few years. ■
Rotating with these grasses
adds fertility and organic- matter
to the soil; kills weeds and dis-
eases of plants and produces an
excellent hay and valuable seed
crops.
X. Thou shalt keep stock.
The most profitable way of
marketing grain and fodder is
through stock, which produce the
manure necessary to the soil and
bring prosperity and plenty to
