WORTHY OF TIE BEST THOUGHT

If you have not prospered with certain methods, will it not be wise to learn the methods of those who are prospering? Is not your occupation worthy of the best thought? Will 1t not pay to devote some time to thinking out your problems? Will it not pay you to read the methods of those whose success is greater than your own?
 We have been teaching diver sifcation for the past 30 years, and yet we continue to teach diversifcation. But we have tried to save the losses which come from diversitication with out adequate plans, and have UT ged that markets be known be- fore there is production.
 The kitchen garden is worth a hundred times it's area in cotton. The cows are worth many times their cost in field crops. Chick eas, eggs, butter, milk, the sup ply of meats these are prac- tical diversifcation, and there is never loss for a market for what can be used at home. If there is need to buy few things, then the need to produce cotton is les sened. Here is the best chance to reduce acreage in cotton. This is open to the tenant farm CT, as well as the land owner. It is better to pay money rent for the small areas in garden and truck. Landlords who do not en- courage such diversification are narrow and short sighted. = Farm & Ranch.

It is encouraging that people do think. It is the greatest trib- ute to the wisdom and faith of the men who built our Republic that the years have demonstrate ed, that it is not only theoreti- cally beautiful, but practically possible as well, for the people to safeguard themselves and their fellows against every form of vice and corruption. They are learning in the struggle for pro- hibition that it not only costs less in courts, penal institutions, etc., but that the people are happier and therefore more help. ful.

 There is every reason to be- lieve from criminal statistics that large part, yes S5 per cent of crime is due to indulgence in liquor. There is every reason to believe from the testimony of medical science that at least 50 per cent of insanity is traceable to drink and that it is largely responsible for tuberculosis. Dr. Charles B. Johnson asked in the Illinois State Medical As sociation a few weeks ago, "Wby do we make increasing war on tuberculosis, which harms only the body, while the drink dis ease is left to prey, not only on mans body, but likewise on his nome, his property, his mind, his character, his all?"

that his trouble is San Jose scale, he
