Matters Of Especial Moment to
J the Progressive Agriculturist

The best system of marketing is
that which comes through organiza-
ton.
While the wire fence will turn stock,
its a poor barrier for them against the
bleak winds OF winter.
AS for satisfaction the garden patch
produces more of 1t to the square foot
than any other acre of the farm.
The reason some men always seem
10 hustle so is because they always
wait until the last minute to get busy.
II you beat the robins up in the
morning you shouldn't allow them to
beat you to roost in the evening very
long
A poor road supervisor is a detri-
ment to any community. Better give
him an ornery pup and pay him wages
70 play with It.
Too many of us never recognize a
good thing until we have first ex-
hausted ourselves in an effort to kick
Il out of existence.
It is better to invite a grouchy
neighbor to dinner than to fuss with
him; you cannot kill one crouch with
another, even IL 1t is a noisier one.
II a shed costing SIS would enable
you to use farm machinery costing
several hundred dollars twice as longl
the shed is q very good investment.
Mems ideas differ as to what will
give their wives pleasure. One
thoughtful man we know always cele-
brstes his wife's birthday by buying
himself a new pipe.
The farmer who allows the rabbits
to carry burrs out Of his field into
another's as they journey across them
has yet long ways to travel on the
road to perfection.
II II costs to haul bushel Of wheat
one mile on an ordinary country road
as much as II does the railroads to
haul that same bushel 200 miles, then
bad roads are an expensive luxury.
Some wheels are like some men
they complain loudly under a heavy
load The difference is, that you can
step the squeaking Of the wheel with
a little oil, but there is mighty little to
be done for complaining man.

for stock. We can mix lespedeza,
white, crimson, burr clovers and the
vetches with Bermuda and they will
grow we'll together. We can also mix
orchard grass, tall oat grass and the
red top with Bermuda. But putting
lespedeza on the Bermuda sod to as
list in furnishing summer pasture and
winter clovers, or a vetch on 1t to fur
nish some winter and early spring
grazing, we can supply continuous
grazing for our stock and at the same
enrich our land.
Sow lespedeza seed on Bermuda sod
in February or early March; SOW the
winter clovers or vetch seed In Sep
TENDER and October Wien the seer
are sown on a heavy sod, it is usually
necessary to disk it in order to insure
termination OF the seed at an early
date.
Bermuda may be propogated both
from seed and root cuttings. The
seed method is not recommended ex-
cept where it is very difficult to secure
pieces of sod. Pillow the land deep and
disk and harrow until it is fine. Lay
off rows about two feet apart and four
inches deep with shovel plows. Drop
small pieces of the sod every two feet
in the burrows and cover with a har
row. A drag or light roller will put
the finishing touches on the job. The
sodding of the land may be done at
any time during the year.
When we have made our hill land
fertile by deep blowing, the addition
of commercial fertilizers and the grow
ing OF leguminous crops, and have
thoroughly sodded them in Bermuda
grass and summer and winter clovers,
we can cut out some Of our unprofit-
able labors, substituting good hogs,
1 brood mares, cattle and furnish the
the hands, labor-saving implements
and strong teams to till the more level
acres on the farm.
The pasture lands should not only
be fertile, thoroughly prepared and
preporly fortified before sodding 1t In
grass, but the briars, brush and
weeds must be kept down and the

| two or three years. Where lespedeza
or some winter clover, or both, grow
J on Bermuda sod It will not be neces-
sary to apply nitrogen except to the
poorer spots.
1t will usually pay to apply light
dressing of phosphate once every two
years where the soil responds to acid
phosphates. On some sandy soils 1t
will pay to apply potash every two
years. The use Of disk harrow on
the Bermuda sod every two years
will cause it to take on new life.
Let us urge the farmers of the cot
ton belt. especially those to the east
of the boil weevil line, to put large
per cent. of the cotton land in grass.
We have a great variety of grasses to
choose from, such as Bermuda, blue
grass, meadow foxtail, orchard grass,
red top, meadow fescu, alsike clover,
tall oat grass.

COOPERATIVE BANK SYSTEMS
Professor Austin Of Texas Makes Con-
else Report on European Rura.
Credits-His Views.

From a college professor, Charles
B. Austin of the University of Texas,
who was one of the American commits
sion to study European rural credits.
and who. together with other Texas
members, has just returned. has come
the briefest report yet published, and
also the one containing the most
healthy germ of common sense.
Professor Austin says: The adop-
ton of any system of improved f.
nances for the farmer, or a system of
cooperative marketing is not a ques-
ton of constitution and bylaws. My
European experience led me to be-
lieve stronger than ever that 1t is
a question of the underlying social
forces. Germany is credited with
being the birthplace of the financial
and cooperative movements which
have meant so much to the European
farmer and peasant. But no European
country has adopted bodily the Ger
man system; each country has its
own economic conditions. Even with
a modification Of the system IT is go
ing to require something more than
legislative enactment to get the peo-
pie to adopt a policy Of business for
service and not for profit, or to adopt
a cooperative banking system with
the motto of Raiffeisen, One for all.
and all for one' Cooperation does
not come through the law; 1t comes
through the spirit. In the end, it will
be the American farmer who will give
the country a working, beneficial sys-
tenn of cooperative rural credit, mar
keting, production or otherwise"
The meat of this opinion is summed
up in the sentence Cooperation does
not come through the law; it comes
through the spirit" says the Texas
Farm Co-Operator.
Or, in other words, commissions
may investigate and report and rec
ommend, governors may proclaim, or
CARNATIONS of farmers may pass reso-
lutions, legislatures and congresses
may pass bills-but, after all, the
origination power for making cooper
alton effective among farmers lies in
the hands of the farmers themselves.
Cooperation is a question of under
lying social forces" as Professor Aus
tin puts it in his scholastic language.
That is, if the people of a commun-
ity want to cooperate and have the
determination to do so, they will find
a way. The way" is incidental to
the determination.

Care Of the Colt.

It frequently happens during the
hottest weather of the summer the
colts navel will become infamed.
Colts ranging from a few days to
three or more months old are sus-
eeptible to the trouble. A variety of
things may be the cause. Cleanli-
ness of the quarters, however, is one
of the best preventives. A mixture
of one ounce of sulphate of zinc and
a quart Of water well mixed and suf-
hciently applied to the affected part
three times each day will usually
bring relief.

Cooperative Shipping.

Cooperative shipping associations
are being organized in many parts
Of the corn belt. Their main feature
is to give those who market less than
a carload of hogs or cattle at a time
a chance to club together and sell
their live stock at the larger markets,
thus saving the slice that goes to the
local buyer The theory is sound and
In time will win out There are alto
gether too many slices taken from
the farmers product before it reaches
the consumer.
