Going 1t Blind.

The man who plants only corn and
 cotton year in and year out in this
 country Is going 1t blind" He is blind to the fact that market conditions change from year to year, blind to the power of his tired land to grow other crops abundantly. blind to the high prices he is forced to pay for trust-con- trolled goods of all kinds, blind to the growing needs of his family and the steady waste of his soils fertility. Take cotton for 1905. How Is the tenant situated? What Is for the best interest of the one-horse farmer? What is good for these people Is, broadly speaking, good for the entire country.
 The strong tenant last year planted 100 acres in cotton. The yield was about forty bales. The price ranged from II to cents. If this tenant plants only seventy-five acres in cotton and makes
 thirty bales in 1905, in what shape
 does it leav{ him? The case can take but two directions: First, large acre. age, big crop. low prices; or, second.
 reduced acreage. small crop. good

MeliIOtUs the Best Crop for Poor Prai-
 rie Soils This Year.

An Arkansas correspondent asks about this:
 ("Replying to your recent letter l would say that melilotus alba, or sweet white clover, grows best on stiff lime land. l believe 1t would also do mod erately well on other clay soil. When quite young it makes a nutritious hay for home consumption but Is unstable and at first quite unpalatable. Sow from one to two bushels of unhulled seed per acre, the seed costing about ST per bushel. The seed frequently contain Johnson grass. seed"
 So much in reply to an inquirer from Q region where melilotus is not grown. Much more needs to be said to urge the farmers of the prairie region of Alabama this year to put their poor est white or gray or black land in nlelilotus. Where the supply of cow pea seed is limited it may be well also to devote part of the red lime lands to melilotus. In a few weeks 1t will be too late to plant 1t.
 Melilotus does much better the first year on plowed land, but on land cul- tlvated, last year discing, brushing, or narrowing. or even sowing without covering, just before a rain, will usual ly give stand.
 Melilotus, if given a chance, will pTlhS the IolIo"InS penehtS:
 First-1t will relieve the farmer of the tax that he yearly pays in the form of losses on land too poor to cul- tivate until reinforced with humus
 Second-It will lessen the area to he cultivated, thus pulling the price of cotton and putting the farmer in ac- cord with the New Orleans plan of re- duction. and enable him to cultivate better the land that he does work. and probably to produce on the reduced acreage as much crop as he would do with less frequent cultivation on the larger acreage.
 Third-It will afford valuable nas- turage early next spring and nutritious hay later in the year and enable a start to be made in stock raising.
 Fourth-It will add from 50 to 15O AAg aAnt to the pcndunti1<A aoyEAS aS

PARENTS PETITION
FOR OUTDOOR RECESS
Ask Removal of Exceptional Condi-

Over $50 citizens @: .tock Island. in
GLIDING for the most part patrons of
the Lincoln school building have petit
toned the board of education 10 per
nit the customary outdoor recesses in
both the afternoon and forenoon SEES
sions of the schools. There are GOO pu-
pills in the Lincoln school. and il is the
only building in the city where the
outdoor int Emissions are denied.
The petition sets forth the exception
al conditions Al Lincoln building. and
maintains that the outdoor periods both
in the morning and afternoon are es-
sential to the health of the pupils.
The reason. II is understood. why
the exception is made n the case of
the rCcesses at the Lincoln school is
that ii disturbs the study periods in the
high schoo; which is on the same lot
and that furthermore the grounds are
TOO small To accommodate such num-
Der of pupils.
The petitioners. nearly all OF whom
are parents. are greatly in earnest
about the matter.
