The Nations Hope in Poor Boys.

/ remember speaking at a school
not long ago where ! understood
that almost all the young men were
the sons of very rich people, and I
told them I looked upon then with
a great deal of pity, because I said:
Most oee You fellows are doomed to
obscurity. You will not do anything.
You will never try to do anything,
and with all the great tasks of the
country waiting to Le done, proba-
bly, you are the very men who will
decline to do them. Some man who
has been up against it, some man
who has come out of the crowd,
somebody who has had the whip of
necessity laid on his back, will
emerge out of the crowd, will show
that he understands the interests of
the nation, united and not separat-
ed, and will stand up and lead US. :"

Woodrow Wilson.

How TO Prevent Cheat.

Please advise me how to treat
seed oats to prevent cheat?
No treatment is needed by pure
seed oats to prevent cheat. You can
not grow plant of cheat from oat
seed to save your life. The only
way to prevent cheat is to sow alb
solutely clean seed oats. Then, y.
the land is not already stocked with
cheat seed, you will have no cheat,
for the cheat grows only from cheat
seed and from nothing else. If you
SOW a mixture of oats and cheat you
will have cheat, but it is utterly i'm
possible to grow cheat (Bromus Sc
calinus) from anything but cheat
seed. Much of our soil is already so
stocked with cheat seed that it is
hard to grow perfectly clean crop.
But if there are no cheat seed in
your soil and you SOW none with
the oats, you will not have any
cheat plants. If any come, it is sim
ply evidence that the seed were in
the soil or you sowed some with the
oats.-Progressive Farmer.

Fall Flowing.
Respectfully,
A. W.Simkins.

Now is the time to do your fall
blowing. Few farmers know the
value of this, work, because they
have done so little of it. 1t is very
unfortunate that 80 many excuse
themselves on the ground that they
haven't the time, Well, il does not
pay to get so busy with all cotton,
endeayoring to pay the long list of
debts, the heaviest of which is un-
necessary to make, viz. the bill for
foodstuff. 1t is not only time for
fall plowing, but it is high time to
change your. system Charming, and
to. so arrange things that you will
have .timnesto. do the, which will.
a,ass;yaa best ItSSis mana agement that
pays on The farm: far better chan
luck, work or rains. Some Will take
issue with me, but we know we are,
right. 1t is perfectly wonderful how
our farmers want TO detract from
the successful farmer. We were
talking to crowd of farmers and
mentioning a very successful farmer
who has made 100000 farming,
and one said, He is not such a
good farmer, but the best trader you
ever saw;" another said, He is the
luckiest man you ever saw" Not a
one gave him any credit for the
good management and work that
had made him so successful. We
want to say, this farmer not only
believed in but has practiced for
forty years fall plowing.-Southern
Cultivator.
