The flag is the emblem OF

love of country. Love of and
loyalty to the old home is the
seed of patriotism, and it grows
like the mustard tree of the
parable till it's branches spread
far and wide as its roots strike
downward.
The people of this common

ITO be sure" said Mr. McNabb. the
desperate heat and prolonged drouth
affected the yield materially. With
good corn growing conditions, it is be-
lieved that it would easily have made
fourth more, but when one compares
the yield with that OF the best produc-
ed by any other method, with a like
rainfall, the wonder is that the aver
age farmer does not get hunch that
it is time for him to wake up and fig
ure how much he is losing each year by
failing to practice the methods which
must be followed in any farming coun.
try if maximum yields Of all crops
would be secured
Gilbert Cast did nothing to his land
or his growing crop that any other corn
farmer could not do, provided he did
not undertake to farm more acres than
his equipment or facilities to handle
will justify After all, it is the net
cash one has in the bank after his
crop is disposed of that counts. rather
than the number Of acres one individ-
ual undertakes to handle.
Gilbert Cast is now selling seed corn
at $3.50 per bushel to farmers who
made a comparative failure Of corn
this season. Some will buy with the
expectation Of getting big yields be-
cause of the improved seed. That is
all right as far as it goes, but it is but
one of the things necessary to produce
a maximum yield. The soil needs some
special attention. There needs to be
some sort of rotation of crops estab-
lished. The soil needs ind must have
humus-vegetable matter-in plenty in
order to increase its water absorbing
and water holding capacity. A deep
reservoir. such as was made in his
case by breaking twelve inches deep.

county land
The repacking Of the soil, to pre-
vent too rapid evaporation is essential;
then the maintenance of the soil mulch
by continued cultivation whether it
rains or not, is the final and probably
most important operation, particularly

that the rain is not going to come; the

Washington, Dec II When the Re-
publican national committee recon-
vened this morning the subcommittee
presented compromise plan on re-
apportionment.
This plan provided that each state
shall havq br delegates at large as
at present and one additional delegate
for each congressional district. In
addition a delegate shall be allowed to
every district in which the Republican
vote in 1908 was over q per cent Of
the total vote, but with limit Of two
delegates for each district.
The latter provision would prevent
an increase OF the present number Of
delegates from any state. The plan is
subject to ratification by conventions
or primaries in the various states, be-
coming the party law providing two
thirds Of the Republican states accept
the revision.
Differences regarding the percent
age OF Republican votes necessary to
afford an extra delegate demanded the
calling Of another meeting Of the spe-
cial subcommittee.
