We believe that the Patriotic Slogan
of the Whole People of this Nation
should be Every Child in a Garden
Every Mother in a HOmecroft-and In
diyidual Industrial independence for
Every Worker in a Home of his Own
on the Land" and that until he owns
such a Home, the concentrated purpose
and chief inspiration to labor in the life
of every wage worker should be his
determination to Get an Acre ani
Live on it"
We believe that the Slums and
Tenements and Congested Centers of
population in the Cities are a savagely
deteriorating social, moral and polit-
fcal influence, and that great public
movement should be organized, and
the whole power of the nation and
the states exerted for the betterment
of all the conditions of Rural Life, and
to create and upbuild Centers of So
cial and Civic Life in Country and
Suburban Towns and Villages, where
Trade and Industry can be so firmly
anchored that they cannot be drawn
into the Commercial Maelstrom that
is now steadily sucking Industry and
Humanity into the Vortex of the
Great Cities.
We believe that every Citizen in
this Country has an inherent and
Fundamental Right to an Education
which will train him to Earn a Liv-
ing, and, if need be, to get his living
straight from Mother Earth; and that
he has the same right to the Opportun-
ity to have the Work to Do which will
afford him that living, and to earn not
only a comfortable livelihood, but
enough more to enable him to be
Homecrofter and to have Home of
his Own, with ground around it
sufficient to yield him and his family
Living from the Land as the reward
for his own labor.
We believe that the Public Domain
is the most precious heritage of the

tion of the public lands into specula-
tive private ownership, without settle

This book IS the first Of a Series
that will Chronicle the Progress of the
HOMECROFT MOVEMENT
and inform all who wish to cooperate
with it how they may do so through
the formation of local Homecrofters'
Circles, Clubs or GildS to promote
Town and Village Betterment, stimu-
late home civic pride and loyalty to
home institutions, industries and trade,
improve methods and facilities of edu-
cation in the local public schools, and
create new opportunities "At Home"
that will go far to check the drift of
trade and population to the cities.
The first Gild of the HOmecrofters
has been established at Watertown,
Massachusetts. The Gildhall, Shops
and Gardens are located at 143 Main
Street, where the Garden School is
now fully organized and over one
hundred children are at work in the
Gardens. The departments for train
ing in Homecraft and Village Indus
tries are being installed. The WeaTers
are already at work at the looms.
It is not designed to build here an
isolated institution, but to make a
model which can be duplicated in any
town or village in the country.

WHAT CORN TO PLANT.

While there may be no fast rules as
to the adaptability Of certain varieties
to certain soils, yet there are certain
general rules which may be followed.
In the first place. you must remember
whatever is gained in the size Of an ear
Of corn is lost in earliness of maturity.
You cannot get an early corn that will
be large, especially large around. You
will get one that will be fairly long, but
1t will have to be slender. Almost
without exception the length of season
Is in exact ratio to the size of the ear.
You may read in some seed sata-
logues that certain corn Is the largest
known and very early. Now you can
just set that man down for a rainbow
chaser. He can't furnish the goods.
You should estimate the length of your
growing seasn and the capacities Of
your soil, and pick corn to fit. If you
overreach and get one too big, you are
sure to fall with 1t.
Then, as you go south, you generally
have to have smaller corn. The soil is
generally thin and cannot support big
corn. Or dry weather sets in early and
you must have small, slender variety
tat will mature early.
AS you go north you must use the
smaller varieties of the dent corns, till
you reach st. Paul MIMI, where but
four or five of the earliest varieties of
dent may be grown. Then the flint va
rieties are the hardest and may be
grown with fair success almost to the
Manitoba border. They will stand cold
weather and thin land better han the
dent varieties, but the ears are small
and the grain is very hard and gen
orally has to be ground for feeding.
On thin or clayey land white corn.
seems to grow better than yellow corn.
On tin land that has been cropped for
a long time plant a medium sized vari-
ETY. of white corn, such as Silver Mine.
1t will make a fine crop of nice solid
corn, when the large white or the yell
low varieties would make Uhaffy ears
and nubbins. On very thin and cold
land plant flint corn. 1t will make a
crop where any other crop would be a
failure. 1t is rich for feeding, too, if
well ground before feeding, and then it
makes more fodder than any other
corn.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.
