DoNT's FOR WEDDING TOURISTS

Don't go on a wedding tour

Don't forget to leave your lug
gage where your fool friends can
tie ribbons on it. This is a bit
of humor that appeals strongly
to the depraved sens1bilities of
many persons, and it is unkind
to rob them of any pleasure
which your wedding journey
may bring them.
Don't swear when YOU dis
cover that you have carried a
few pounds of rice into the train
in your umbrella and have scat
tered it it about the floor of the
Pullman. Everybody knows you
are a bridal couple anyway, SO
don't make yourself look any
more foolish than you really
have to.
Don't hesitate to embrace each
other occasionally. At least,
don't forget to hold hands for
long periods of time. Nothing
relieves the tedium Of a journey
for the tired commercial travel
er SO effcaciously as the specta-
Gle of two young things holding
hands, apparently obhvious Of
the proximity of a red nosed
drummer or any other coarse
and mundane object.
Don't above all things, try to
let on that you have been mar
ried long time. You are sure
to be caught at this wicked de-
ception and the result is to make
YOU seem sillier than you looked

HASTE IN PLANTING NOT
NECESSARY.

IHF-NESS:AN Es
We believe emphatically in the
policy of keeping up with ones
work, that is keeping it well in
hand. This applies to every
thing that must be done on the
farm. However, there is such a
thing as unnecessary haste, and
this is often noticed during the
planting season. Men become
impressed with the idea that the
growing season is only so long
and that time lost in the begin
ming is just that much time lost
forever on the crop.
We have known instances
where men have had their plant
ing operations delayed by rain
after the seed bed was well pre-
pared. There would possibly be
a week or ten days ofwet wealth
err, and this of course would put
any man on the anxious seat.
Under such circumstances the
temptation is to get into the
field with the planters with the
expectation of getting ahead OF
the weeds when the crop IS
growing.
We make the claim that in
nine cases out of ten better re-
suits will follow if the necessary
time is taken under circumstan-
ces like these to double disk the
land. BY so doing one OF the
most annoying crops OF weeds
of the whole season will be dis
troved. Not only that, but the
effect of this disking on the seed
bed will result in the freer liberia
ton of fertility, consequently the
delay of one week or ten days IS
not entirely lost.
One can work to SO much bet
ter advantage with four horses
on heavy implements before the
crop is in than can possibly be
done with two afterwards, that
it is always sensible to do the
largest possible amount Of weed
killing before planting.
Of course where conditions
are ideal and the seed bed is put
in proper shape early i'll the sea
son there is no reason why
planting should non be done
early, but the important thing
in to have the seed bed we'll pre-
pared IN advance Wisconsin
