Reduced Pasture Crops.

This country. England. France. Ger
many and other parts Of Europe have
had the hottest and driest summer on
record and the result is greatly re-
duced crops and live stock now suffer
ing in many places from scarcity Of
food and water. The scarcity of pas.
ture grasses and the shortage In feed
Is causing stock to be rushed to the
market in an unfinished condition.
Good beef is fast becoming scarce and
will be scarce for some time to come
The farmers Of the south can plant
rye, oats. wheat and barley mixed
with vetch to furnish winter grazing
and early hay crops. They can also
plant rape. crimson clover. burr clover
and other winter-growing crcDs to fur
nish feed for stock. Now is the time
to take advantage Of the shortage II
feeds and plant winter-growing crops
to feed our stock. There Is no excuse
for poor beef cattle, hogs. milk cows

Some MosouItoes.

"Yes," said the traveller who had
just returned from South Africa. Il

toes that was compelled to take
refuge in an old iron safe which lay
discarded on the veldt.

happy deliyerance were hardly over
when the mosquitoes. scenting me,
begsa to drive their stingers through
the safe. Fortunately, | had a ham

clinched them. until at length such
a host of them was fastened down In
this way that, when they started to

After a long, hot. and dusty journey

traveller arrived in Richmond, brushed
enough dust of his face to make sure

and hailed one of the little sea-going

2 PLEAS FOR COOPERATION
Governor Wilson of New Jersey and
Senator Gore Of Oklahoma Talk
on Farmers Condition.

II was not a mere coincidence which
caused a plea for the organization OF
farmers to be made on the same day
in two points as far apart as Staten
Island. N. Y. and Shawnee. Okla. and
by two men as different as Governor
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey and
Senator Thomas E. Gore Of Oklahoma.
II was a sign of the tendency of the
times which is coming to be generally
recognized not only by farmers them
selves, but by all industrial leaders.
Governor Wilson declared that the
American farmer is not helping him
self as much as he might and that he
should lose no time in following the
example set by the farmers of Europe,
notably of Denmark. where co-opera-
ton speedily resulted in increased
profits He suggested social organiza-
tion as a step toward Industrial and
political organization. arguing that
the country church was an available
medium for bringing this about. In
this connection Governor Wilson said:
Nov the moment the farmers of a
they will form associations to study
the. methods Of production. and form
q kind of association by which they
can all unite in discovering the best
markets for their products. The prob
lem of all life is to get everybody
voluntarily to act in the common in
terest"
|, On the same day the eloquent blind
senator from Oklahoma asserted that
farmers of America will he buried
deep in misery" If they do not CO
operate. He was emphasizing the re-
marks made by President T. ].
Brooks of Tennessee to the members
OF the Farmers Union. President
Brooks declared that farmers must
Immediately change their business

along this line. Recent political af

The back-to-the-farm movement
should look good to the much-criticised

priately a business storm center.

that the discussion of reciprocity dur

Union may lead to more benefits thar
