THE DAIRY COW.

The dairy cow does more than
bring financial success to the
dairy farmer. She makes him a
better citizen than he would 9th
erwise be. Her Influence upon
home conditions is a most pleas
ing contribution to those factors
which are responsible for the
changed conditions which prevail
in the farm homes of to-day.
Thousands of these homes are now
characterized by comfort and hap
piness where formerly they were
blighted by drudgery and unhap-
pineSs.
Better financial conditions have
contributed to this change and
the dairy cow has been in no
small measure responsible. She
has contributed in still another
way. The dairy COW teaches
kindness. Her owner soon learns
that only by treating her kindly
can he secure the highest possible
returns from her. and she responds
quickly to kind words and proper
care. Her disposition is one that
the human family might well en-
ulate. She is patient and bong
suffering, acquiescing mutely in
the arrangements made by her
owner for carrying on the dairy
business striving at all times to
repay him for every effort made
for her care and comfort.
The members of the family. as
they come in contact with her
and her kindly disposition, are in
fluenced for good. As they ap-
preoate the financial benefit to
come from caring for her well
they take a deeper interest in her.
in doing 80 they unconsciously
cultivate those qualities which
make them better citizens.
The dairy cow-the prototype OF
mans best friends welding a
greater influence than she is gen.
erslly credited with. She has al
ways been found in the front
ssnks in the march Of civilization

EQUALITY.

We come out this world with
nothing. but some find wealth
and power awaiting them, while
others find poverty. Some
achieve fame and fortune Others
lose ground day by day. Some,
born to wealth. leave life through
the door of want; some who in
herited poverty make their exit
with the trappings of wealth.
And we often wonder at life s
seeming inequalities
But there is one place where
the highest and the lowest walk
side by side; where the power If
a king or the wealth of mer-
chant prince avail's nothing; where
the delft touch Ct the artist and
the sinewy arm of the artisan no
longer exert their power; where
the melody Of the poet, the com
mand of the warrior and the plea
of the beggar alike are stilled.
At this door of Eternity all ranks
are leveled by the grim reaper,
Death. In the words of Long
fellow:
"There all are equal side by side,
The poor man and the son of
pride,
Lie calm and still
The study Equality" bears a
message we may we'll consider in
the mad rush for the intangible
something called success. y
Fleeing indeed is worldly pomp
and power. and the end OF the
face finds victors and vanquished
side by side, in Equality at last,
But though death strips off life s
outer influence of the well-spent
life. The deeds which uplift and
inspire humanity are not limited
by life's brief span, but go on
forever.
Friendship, human sympathy
and helpfulness, the betterment of
mankind, the Ewing of life that
shall be an inspiration to Others
these are the things which en-
diure and which should not be for

PRODUCING COTTON UNDER
BOIL WEEVIL CONDI-
TONS.


boil weevil will soon spread over
the entire cotton-producing ter
ritorv Of the United States. it is
a matter of general interest t.
know how cotton is at present
produced with the weevil present.
Success in making cotton crop
under boIl-weevil conditions is
based upon three principles. 1t
was found % that the numbers
of the weevils could be limited
so that they would not become
totally destructive to the crop I'M
til the first and middle crops are
outof danger; (2) that the cot
ton plant can be so bred and Sc
lected as to throw nearly its whole
life forces into the lower and mid
die crops; and (3) that the plant
can be so fastened N maturity
by the application Of cultural
methods that most of the boils
will be developed to the safety
point before the weevils are too
enormous.
Guided by the principles just
mentioned, the Bureau of Plant
Industry has worked out a CO.
operative plan Of producing cot
ton under boll-weevil conditions,
which is known through the
South as the cotton cultural sys-
tenn" This plan is based upon
our knowledge of the cotton plant
and upon the life habits of the
boil weevil as ascertained by the
Bureau of Entomology. Its chief
features may be briefly mention
ed. as follows:
The destruction of the weevils
in the fall Q) by burning the cot,
ton stalks early in the fall while
the weevils are still upon them
(2) by burning all rubbish in and
about the field which might serve
for alternating quarters.
1t is so difficult to secure a gen
eral adoption by the farmers OF
the plan of early burning of the
cotton stalks that we have allow
ed the stalks to be turned under,
provided they are completely turn
ed under by deep fall blowing and
the region is one which has con-
siderable winter precipitation.
This will insure the destruction
of Undertaking weevils.
The following dredaions then
should be observed.
"a Where there is no cover
crop do some shallow winter cul-
tivation of the soil.
% Plant as early as the sea-
son will allow with safety to the
crop.
(3) Plant early-maturing va
rieties of cotton.
"a Use some fertilizers.
90 Leave more space between
the rows and on ordinary uplands
have a greater distance between
plants in the row than is usually
allowed. On rich or highly fer
tilted lands it is better to crowd
the plants slightly in the rows to
avoid the excessive growth OF the
stalks.
(6) Use the section harrow be-
fore and after planting and on
the young cotton.
% Give intensive shallow cul-
tivation.
90 Agitate the stalks by
means of brush attached to the
cultivator.
(9) Pick up and burn the
SOU res that fall where practica-
bic.
(l0) Plant selected seed of the
best variety.
(1l) Rotate the crops and use
legumes.
It will be noted that the sys-
ITEM - outlined has q twofQld OBJ
