Don't Waste Labor.

Isn't it, when you come to think
If it seriously, just as unwiss and
as extravagant to waste labor as
to waste money? 1t all amounts
to the sams thing in the end, for
to fritter away time and strength
doing unremuneratlve work, or
work unnecessarily hard, is to de-
crease the profits of the Gay or the
year just as surely as would be
dons by scattering dimes or dol
lars. Yet there ale many farm
ers who would lament the loss
of nickel but who, day after day
and year after year, do work that
is absolutely unprofitabl BILE. To put
the potato patch, for example, ten
minutes walk from the house,
when there is plenty of land avail.
able right at hand, and go make
necessary lot of extra steps and
some extra time every time pota-
tees are wanted for eating, is just
as truly a waste as it would be TO
throw away the price of the exsrs
time required in going to this dis
tant patch for the potatoes,-The

PRODUCTS OF The SOIL IMPROVED,
Some Things That Luther Burbanks, the
Plant Wizard, has Done.

Plant Wizard, has Done.
- have heard of Burbank. just
as l have heard of Edison, but
what has he done that is of prsc-
tical and lasting value?" asked q
man who was discussing Luther
Burbank's work.
Out of the results of forty years
of daily achievement. it is hard to
pick a single illustration that will
answer the question; "What has
he done?"
But there is for example. the
common potato. Thirty, five years
ago potatoes were round, red
skinned an1 small.
The potatoes of today are long
white-skinned and large.
1t would be difficult now to find
specimans Of th2se little, round,
rsd.skinned potatoes of olden days
for the Burbank potato has be-
come practically universal, it no
longer pays to raise the other
kind.
Luther Burbank did three thinRs
to the potatoe:
He increased it's size.
Hesiucreased the nambsr that
grow III a hill.
And third, he improved the
quality and flavor.
The United States Department
of Agriculture at Washington, in
one of it's bulletins, has said that
the Burbank potato is adding sew
enteen million dollars year to
the agricultural income of the
country.
On this basis, and remembering
that Burbank products srs not
limited to America, but are, in
fact, batter known abroad than at
home, it is easy to compute thst
the Burbank potato in the thirty.
i've years since it's discovery, has
added tc the farm income a grand
total in the nelghborhood of six
hundred million dollars.
In other words, Luther Bur
bank with this one single plant
Improvement, has given the farm
ers OF the world an added in
come which compares favorable
with the whole estimated earnings
of the Standard Oil Company
since it's inception.
And the casual inquirer, who
had eaten Burbank potatoes all
his life and who had never seen,
sasted or even heard of any otLer
potato, asked what Burbank had
done that was practioall
Or, to pick at random another
example:
Americas most precious tree,
the Walnut tree. is practically ex-
tinct. at least as source Of map-
ketaole lumber.
Ihs walnut tree, ss nst re
planned it, is slow to grow.
In twenty-five years it usually
reaches height Of twontv feet
and a circumference of eighteen
inches.
Burbank has produced a walnut
tree. equal, if not superior in tho
quality of the lumber. which is
only seventeen years, has attained
a height of eighty feet (as against
twenty feet in twice that lore)
and a circumference of ssyenty-
swo inches las against eighteen
inches in twice shat long.)
At the cost of 50 per tree for
planting, this new walnut can
yield in twelve years a lumber
value of three thousand dol,ars
per acre.

The Cotton Picking Machine.

Many.visitors from the ad>
Joining counties, as we'll as
hundreds of Scotland county
farmers, are here this we5k
to witness the operation of
the Price Campbell cotton
picking machines which are
teing demonstrated by Theo>
dore H. Price of New York.
1t is the unanimous opinion
of the spectators that the
machines are already a suc~
cess, although their are some
improvements which Mr..
Price will add before another
cotton season. The machine
picks one row at a time, and
gathers at least ninty per
cent of the open cotton on
the first trip, and after going
over it the second time, it is
estimated that not more than
me per cent of the cotton is
left in the field. The cotton
gathered is not altogether
free from trash, but is much
cleaner than that picked by
the average negro. The stalk
is left uninjured, open blooms
and morning glory blooms
being left intact. Mr.. Price
will remain here with his
machines about a week

NOVEL DINNER PARTY IDEA
Progression" Does Away With Minor
Annoyance That Sometimes
Mars the Occasion.

A girl who is looking for a way out
of the common to entertain some OF
her young friends will find pro
gressive dinner party" jolly affair.
There is nothing better for helping
along new acquaintances, and 1t also
works wonders in another way-in not
allowing old friends to talk too exclu-
sively with each other. Often the fun
of small entertainment is spoiled
because one or two couples spend al
most the whole evening in talking to
each other, neglecting every one else.
The young hostess has not always ex-
perience enough to prevent this mis-
take gracefully.
The progressive dinner party is
managed as follows: Each young man
is told to take certain girl in to din
ner, as at any dinner party. The
places at table are shown by the
usual cards with names. During the
first course they sit in these places.
but as the plates are being changed
each young man takes the place of the
next one to the right Cor lefty. This
is repeated after each course, the
change being always in the same d.
rection. The girls do not move, so
young men have an opportunity to
talk to each girl.
