SUNFLOWER SEED FOR HENS
Russian Variety Is Most Prolific for
Furnishing Good Quality Of
Rich Oil Feed.

For poultry the Russian sunfower is
the most prolific variety. Sow seed
early in June The sunflower is a
profitable crop to grow for furnishing
a good quality of rich oil feed to take
the place Of cottonseed or flaxseed
meal. Sunfower seed Is used in all
the poultry mixtures now sold in the
markets.
The sunflower is a hardy plant, a
vigorous and rapid grower, and a
good plant 10 grow not only for it's
seeds, but also for its bright, beauti-
full yellow blossoms. The plant, when
In full bloom, makes a good food for
honey bees. Have the ground deeply
plowed and thoroughly mellowed. The
ground should be rich to grow large
heads full of seed. Mark the rows off
three feet apart and three inches deep.
Drop two seeds to the running foot.
When plants are up thin out the stand
10 to 20 inches apart. Good culture,
free of grass and weeds, must be Civ
en- through the season.

NEEDED THAT OTHER ROOT
Patients OF Dentists VIII Appreciate
Story OF "Nerve" That Comes
From Kansas City.

In Kansas City there dwells a man
whose boast is that he has "the
nerve" and at least one dental sur
geon will support him in his claim.
The man with the nerve" suffered
from the pangs OF an aching molar
and at last sought out his friend the
dentist and announced that the tooth
must come out The man with the
forceps made hasty examination and
suggested that filling would relieve
the agony, but to no avail.
That tooth must be pulled" said
the nerve man." but | want to warn
you right now, Doc, that you won't
get IL the first yank ! have had seven
teeth drawn and no dentist lives who
can pull one Of my teeth the first
trial"
The dentist prides himself with the
numerous compliments paid him for
dexterity in extraction and the
nerve" mans words were a challenge.
I'll get that tooth the very first
time | pull It."
Bet you the drinks you don't" was
the patients retort.
Done said the doctor.
The professional man motloned his
patron to the operating chair and
selected the proper forceps The cold
steel clamped firmly on the tooth, and
with a slightly rocking motion the
dentist began to pull The tooth held
firm and it looked as if the dentists
reputation az an extractor must suf-
fer. At last, just as little beads OF
sweat were forming on the operators
brow, he smiled and in another sec
ond the three-pronged cause of the
trouble lay on the swinging bracket by
the dental chair
No word or sign had been given by
the sufferer, who then raised from
the chair, grasped the removed tooth
In his fingers and gazed at its three
roots in contemplation.
There was a tone Of real sadness
In his voice as he regretfully said:
IF that thing had only had another
root, I'd have won the drinks. Kan

Arctic Bounty.

The account of the four years stay
of Viljalmar Stefanssen and Dr. An
derson in the Arctic regions Of Amer
lea. during which they made long
Journeys alone with nothing to de-
pend upon for q living but the hospi-
tally of the natives and their rifles,
furnishes a new illustration Of the re.
markable productiveness of the far
north. Persons are likely to suppose
that it is the tropics which are most
spontaneous in the production Of food
for human beings. The fact Is that
the contrast between equatorial and
Arctic regions is not so very great In
this regard Early explorers of the
region of the upper Amazon found
they must carry supplies or starve
to death. There is game there, but
II cannot be reached in the jungles.
This was the experience OF James Or
ton, the American traveller, and IN
his work on the Amazon he recalls
the fate OF the mighty Pizlrro, who
tried to penetrate that country, but
retreated from It upon a diet of NJ
ards, dogs, saddle leather and sword
belts just In time to save his LIE.
Similar experiences are to be encoun-
tered In much of tropical Africa. It
is trGe that some tropical islands give
their inhabitants free but monoto-
nous living, but. then. so will the ice
bound country around the mouth Of
the Mackenzie.

VALUE OF FORESTS PROVED
In Addition to Conserving Rainfall,
They Are of Other Aids to
Agriculture.

While the rainfall of any region is
dependent on dynamic influences in
the atmosphere, and can be affected
only in a very slight degree, If at all,
by the extent Of that region covered
by forests, il has certainly been shown
that woods and forests conserve rain
fall. The briefest consideration indi-
Gates the likelihood that this must be
so, because vegetation and the ground
covered with vegetation absorb water
and allow it to percolate slowly to the
lower levels, whereas on bare ground
the rainwater runs quickly away to
sea. But trees serve another purpose
in aid Of agriculture; because, as some
recent experiments show, they act as
windbreaks and shelters to growing
crops. The distance to which the pro-
tective influence of trees extends is
estimated at twenty times their
height, though complete protection,
such as might be afforded to growing
wheat In a gale, extends only to a dis
lance eight times the height Of the
trees. Partial protection Is about
twelve to fourteen times the height.
They also check evaporation Of rain
fall, their influence extending five
times their height to windward and
eighteen times to leeward, and pre-
serve as much as 70 per cent. of mois-
ture ordinarily lost. Finally, their
influence heats both air and soil, in
creasing the diurnal range Of temper
ature by as much as nine degrees
Fahrenheit.

About the Camel.

In a school in the South of ireland
q schoolboy of tender years is said to
have produced the following essay on
the camel:
"The cannimai is a sheep of the des-
ert. 1t is called a baclteria because
it has a hump on its back. The canni-
NAL is very patient, and will lie down
and die without a groan, but when 1t
is angry it gets its back up, which is
called taking the hump. The shep-
herds of cannimals is called Arabs.
When they live in towns they are
called street Arabs. When the canni-
NAL goes on a Journey 1t drinks as
much as it can to last for many days.
Such animals are called accquiducks.
Those that cannot carry enough are
called inebriates."

lIurt of UnkInd Words.

Unkind words are sharper than
swords. If you cut your finger there
is but temporary pain. II your heart
IL hurt with sarcasm or brutal speech
the suffering continues as long as your
memory is working. Since we all
know the agony of injured feelings it
certainly behooves all of us to be
sparing with singing conversation.
AS one grows wiser and older one
pays little heed to what others say.
Unkind things then apparently don't
have the power to hurt. The older,
wiser ones just twirl their thumbs and
smile. 1t is great relief when one
gets to that point of perfect tranquil

FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH"

Ever since Thomas Lawson wrote his remarkable stories on frenzied finance tlie word has had a wholesame respect fer the significance of Friday the Thir- teenth" Perhaps never before in the his tory of the United States has the mear- ing of the phrase and the results of the one day in the year been brought before the public as they have this year.
 Tradition and Thomas Lawscn have it that Friday the Thirteenth is the day that the 'jinx" works overtime; that if a person is going to have bad luck 1t will fall on that day; that if a person never has had bad luck they will have 1t on Friday the Thirteenth" or if they had bad luck they will have more of it on that fateful Friday.
 As a result of flirting with fate on last Friday which was the thrtaerth, Frai k Hayes is behind local prison bars charged with forgery. Friday night Hayes w2s locked in the Brown Marx building and secured cancelled checks which he copied Yesterday, being arrested as he was in the bank.
 Important steps were also 1akef in three of the most prominent cases in the cou1a- try and arrests were made which Will probably lead to a solution of the due9- tions. There Is scarcely any doubt but that the stage was set for all these scenes on Friday the Thirteenth,' although the action did not culIninate until yesterday

It has united with the general low pressure area over Arizona and New Mexico, so that gen. eral low pressure conditions exist over most of the Mississippi valley, the gulf states and the far-southwest. Brisk winds kept up throughout the southern regions affected by the storm. but only one sta ton, Mobile, reported high winds dur ing the past 12 hours. There 32 miles per hour occurred today. At Birmingham velocity of 25 miles per hour was main- tained for short periods during the day.
