THE Soy Bean the cheapest beef

reading of all farmers. There Is one
point failed to mention in either
article copied: 1t will make a good
crop on land too low or stiff to grow
cowpeas successfully. This does not
mean wet land. We all know that on
the ssiff. black bottom cowpeas rarely
make the seed that are planted, the
return being in hay If we have 1t so
1t can be saved. Now on such land

THE Limitations Of the Warehouse
Plan" contains so many warnings

publisher will extend our space so it
may go In this week. Especially do
1 wish to combat the idea that cheap
money will always prove a blessing.
IL 1t gives a small coterie of capital
ists the control of the cotton crop, 1t
VIII prove greater curse to the
rank and file Of the cotton growers
than Is the present lack of organiza-
ton.
We constantly harp on how to con-
troll the cotton crop by borrowing
money on 1t. Let me repeat what
have said on several occasions: There
Is no weaker cotton ever grown. not
lien. than cotton in a warehouse, up
or which 80 or 90 per cent. of it's
market value has been borrowed by
farmer who can not put up more col
lateral.
Sumter County Union Is working
or plans that will make it's partici-
pants in few years to get out of
the borrowing class; that will enable
them to finance their own farms with
their own money; and should they
want a warehouse in which to store
their cotton for the sake of cheap
insurance, they will build it with their
own money
All this talk about cheap money in
quantities is clap-trap. When we do
not try to borrow so much. we can
buy thousand dollars as cheap as
the Amalgamated Warehouse of
Georgia can buy a million. BY their
own reasoning a million bales of cot
should sell for a lower rate than a
thousand. All the laws of trade are
against high priced cotton at whole
sale. III money at wholesale and fer
tilizers at wholesale are cheaper than
In smller quantities, why should cot
tor be the one article OF commerce to
which this law does not apply?

EXPLOSIVES.
Best Way to Destroy Gunpowder and
NitrogIycerin.

Best Way to Destroy Gunpowder and
NitrogIycerin.
The best way to destroy ordinary
black gunpowder is to throw it into u
stream under conditions that prevent
any harm coming to human beings or
animals through the dissolving of the
saltpeter. If no suitable stream is
available, the gunpowder may be stir
red with water in tubs, or the dry gun
powder may be poured out on the
ground In long thin line and ignited
with fuse at one end.
To destroy dynamite cartridges the
paper wrappings should be carefully
removed, the bare cartridges laid in a
row with their ends in contact and the
first cartridge ignited with fuse with
out a cap. Even with these precau-
tions a simultaneous explosion Of the
entire mass may occur, so that 1t Is
wise to retire to safe distance. The
row of cartridges should be laid paral
lei with the wind and ignited at the
leeward end, so that the flame will be
driven away from the mass.
Frozen dynamite should be handled
with special care, as its combustion Is
peculiarly liable to assume an explo-
sive character. A small quantity of
dynamite may be destroyed by throw
ing It in very small bits into an open
fire. or the cartridges may be exploded
one by one in the open air with fuses
and caps.
Dynamite should never be thrown
into water. as the nitroglycerin which
it contains remains undissolved and
capable of doing mischief Other ex-
plosives which contain nitroglycerin
should be treated In the same way as
dynamite
Ammonium nitrate explosives may
be thrown in small fragments into an
open fire or If they do not contain nj
troglycerin may be destroyed by means
of water. Explosive caps should be ex-
ploded singly with pieces Of fuse.-Sci
entific American.

Government EXPERT ON CORN
unfavorabIe Conditions. Water Fur
row Recommended. Seed Should
Be Selected With Care.


During a series of years we nave
had fairly good seasons for produc'
ton of corn and other feed crops in
this part of the state and some people
have grown careless about corn grow
ing. thinking that we can from now
on expect ample summer rains and
therefore plenty of corn.
The ground is now very dry, and
while we hope for plenty of rain in
the spring we have no guarantee that
we will have sufficient rainfall to thor
oughly wet the soil. The indications
now point to a short corn crop at best.
The blowing in spring will dry out
the ground on top and the subsoil
will not be ablee to store enough water
to carry corn crop through much
OF drought.
If the seasons through May and
June are dry there will be very little
corn made, especially on lands not
broken close and deep in the fall. II
behoves every farmer to secure at
least a bushel of drought resistant
corn seed, plant it on good land and
give it careful thorough cultivation
running his plows very shallow after
the first blowing. While many people
scout the idea of the water furrow sys-
TEN of planting. the fellow who puts
his corn down well into the ground
this year, provided it stays dry, will
be counted among the lucky ones at
harvest time. 1t has been the oppor-
tunity of the writer to watch the last
four corn Crops in Southwest Texas,
and note the different yarities under
favorable and unfavolable conditions,
aud ii iG my opinion that we have yet
to develop a variety of corn that will
meet the needs of this section. Many
farmers have strains of corn that
could be made into the desired type by
long. careful. painstaking selecting AMI
breeding. The nearest approach to the
desired type yet observed by me is
a type of Mexican corn introduced
through the Government laboratory
seed breeders at Waco, under agents
Brown aud Saunders. had about six
~ demonstrations in Lee county last
year, and notwithstanding the fact
that it does not do as well on wet
years compered to other varieties, in
breeding, in heavier yields. One crop
planted the last day of April, made 80
bushels per acre, and another planted
after Irish potatoes made 80 bushels.
Remember, now, that / am not a seed
man. neither is the gentleman to whom
| shall refer, but We are employees of
the Government, sent among the far
mers of this section to help them
solve their problem. | would advise
every farmer to get in touch with
Mr. Ira Durrenberger, Z. s. Special
Agent. Caldwell, Texas, and secure
enough of this seed to insure a small
crop. He will explain to any all. the
kind. appearance. and leading quail
tiles of this drought resisting, heavy
fruiting corn. He can secure all the
seed necessary to give each applicant
a start. if notified at once.

CIRCUS CHILDREN.
The Making Of Acrobats Begins at an
Early Age.

Early Age.
1t is nothing unusual for the larger
circuses to carry thirty and forty chill
tlren, ranging all the way from mere
babies to boys and girls of fifteen ana
sixteen years Of age. The majority
are travelling with their parents, both
the father and mother doing daily duty
in the ring, and while often they are
trained to follow in the steps or their
elders they are seldom allowed to per-
form In public.
IL Is common belief among circus
men that the performer whose training
is not started until after the age OF SIX
will seldom make a distinctive record.
Following the afternoon show ! often
saw groups of boys, some or Wnom
could not have been over four ana nve
years old, practicing rudimentary SOM
ersaults and hand springs, while their
parents looked on with a grained
smile. These were the families OF the
circus aristocracy, who treasure the
records of their ancestors with the
pride of a son In his fathers sword and
who see no more inspiring calling Tor
their own children than that or the
great white canvas.
Not that their education is neglected
in other respects. Several of the fami-
lies often hire an instructor-perhaps
one Of the performers who has the
time and ability for such work-to
coach their children in the standard
studies. One circus has a travelling
school for the youngsters. IL they are
to be acrobats, they are to be educated
