about her friends is girl to

my best friend has been talking
about me, and now she wonders why
l don't want her for friend any
more.
"She says she didn't mean any harm
but somehow I can't feel the same
to her.
DO you blame me? She has been
good friend. She took care of me
when I was Ill, and once she lent me
money; but now-I do not want to
think of that
What do you think about 1t all?"
Talk about you, does she! Well.
what crime is that7
Who are you that you shouldn't be

false friend" say, any how"
Did she Just say that you were ex-
travagant, or that you dyed your hair,
or that the new dress you are so
proud of is your last years turned?
What of 1t If she did?
" h} she cds any Vi all
of these things if they happen to
be true?
WHAT DO YOU THINK.
Do you think you ought to sit
somewhere on a pedestal and have
every one glad to merely gaze upon
your PROJECTIONS. and let it go at
that?
OF course you have faults, and OF
course your friends see those faults,
too. Why not? Do you want them all
TO be blind just to please you?
You see their faults plainly enough,
don't you?
And whisper. don't you ever speak
of them-once in while? Honest and
truly now; think back. Didn't you
ever talk about" this friend in par
tieular, in no very particular fashion,
So she took care of you when you
were i'll, and she lent you money, ana
now you don't want to see her any

When you take fayors like thai
from a friend. you may let the friend
forget-you can't.
DIFFERENT THEN.
She looks ugly to you now, does
she? Well how she did look the day
she lent you the money? Tell me that
And whisper. who told you that she
called about you"-and how do YOU
! like the person who did it?
Trust her again. I'd trust her twies
as far as I'd trust the one who told
me what she's said or limited it, whiob
is twice as bad.
These people who whisper to you,
II hate to hurt your feelings, but you
ought to know" and then tell you
whole lot of stuff that you ought not
to know at ALL wish l could take
the whole bunch of them and lead
them to the edge of the Battery and
see what would happen-when the
fish saw them.
Stick to the friend who stuck to
you, little girl, and If she talks about
about, something pleasant and good,
and see IL she doesn't talk a whole loi
more-and be happy.

! believe more injury has been done
clay soils by plowing too deep than
by all the cropping yet done in the
country. One fact worthy Of our at.
tention Is that In the cultivation Of
clay Soils we must keep the humus or
organic matter as close as possible to
the top Of the soil until the physical
condition Of the soil is such that the
air may have access to the soil as
deep as the organic matter Is turned
under.
Vegetable matter. when exposed to
the action OF the air. will soon decom-
pose into carbon or vegetable mold
and carbonic.acid. Large quantities
Of vegetable mold and carbonic acid
make the soil plow up light, loamy
and free from clods. On the other
hand, II this organic matter is plowed
under deep, the air cannot reach 1t in
the saturated. wet soil. and the decom.
position goes on slowly, and the prod.
uct will be widely different. Under
such conditions the nitrifying bacteria
cannot perform their work.
When the air can have free action
through the soil. the clods will decom.
pose into carbonic acid, which will
liberate the plant food in the soil and
provide the growing plants with nour.
ishment.
When It is desired to deepen the
cultivation Of clay soils, the work
should be gradual and there must be q
thorough intermixing of the soil with
vegetable matter as fast as 1t Is
brought up from below.
As a general rule 1t will be better
to apply fresh manure to the clay
soils, for the reason that fresh manure
mixed with the soil goes through a
process OF fermentation which not
only increases the availability OF its
fertilizing elements, but also assists
In rendering soluble the portions OF
hitherto insoluble constituents OF the
soil. r..
On large proportion OF clay soils
there will be more benefits from the
manure when 1t is applied as q top
dressing to the grass lands. In this
way we grow more manure to incor.
porate with the soil when It is plowed.
After a clay soil has been improved
by underdrainage. tillage. and fer.
tilization SO that It will grow good
crops Of clover, It is an easy matter
to adopt rotation Of crops In con.
nection with live stock feeding that
will make SUFFICIENT manure to return
to the soil to maintain 1t In a high
state Of fertility.

Lons-Lost Mine Found,

The long.lost Cinnabar mine in Ne.

lasting more than thirty years. The
discovery was made some weeks ago
by George Keough while searching for
strayed stock, seven miles from Nina.
The discovery was kept secret un.
til claims were staked and assays
made Of the ore, showing it to run
high In quicksilver.
Following the announcement of the
finding Of the mine rush was start.

PREVENT SOFT sHELLED EGGS
Oyster Shells, Grit and Plenty Of Green
Foods viii Assist In RemedyIns
Conditions.

An overfatty condition Is one cause
for the laying Of soft shelled eggs
Sometimes It Is caused by the over.
stimulation Of the egg organs, brought
about by the overfeeding OF to much
spice, which is apt to cause irritation
Of the egg passage.
Closely confined fowls not sup.
piled with variety Of food are more
liable to lay soft shelled eggs than
those having plenty Of range or sup.
piled with exercise In an artificial way
and fed variety Of grains In q well
balanced ration. Oyster shells, grit,
and plenty Of green foods will assist
greatly in preventing such conditions
Of the egg organs.

FACTS ON GIN COMPRESSION
Yearbook Of the Department Of AqrI.
culture Goes Into the Subject
Rather Thoroughly.
Union City. Ga.

Senator Sheppard's efforts to have
the department Of agriculture obtain
and disseminate more information
about gin compression are most excel.
lent. albeit trlfie late for the year.
book Of the department Of agriculture
OF 1912 goes into the subject rather
thoroughly and remarks that:
THE gin plant is the vital point in
the cotton handling situation and OF.
fers an effective agency through which
to bring about improved conditions.
Well.organized. responsible coopera.
tive growing and handling associa.
tions. acting In concert with the other
elements Of cotton trade, can ulti.
mately bring about improvements that
will save millions Of dollars. Gin com.
preston has many advantages which
cannot be touched upon in the con.
fines Of yearbook article. A com.
parison Of the farmers bale as deliv.
cred to a railroad platform In South
Carolina (which looks like a typical
bale as delivered at Galveston before

bale on the plantation, summarizes
the difference in the two methods.

acres. At the last spraying. when
double nozzles should be used. 100
gallona will cover from one to one
and one-half acres. and possibly two
acres in some cases. The mixtures
can be economized greatly by avoid.
ing any leakage in the nozzles and
running the mixture through as fine
cap as possible and still cover the
foliage.
Spraying is generally better
adapted to the standard late varie-
ties. Substantial increases in yields
have been obtained from spraying
early varieties which we're planted
late. Success from spraying early
varieties. which were planted late, is
exceptional In this state.
Failures in spraying for blight are
often the result of one or more OF
the following causes: Impoverished
soil. weakened potato seed. injury
from the potato beetle. carelessness
and inattention to essential details.
The first three causes are espe-
cially noticed during the dry season.
The more favorable the tillage condi.
tions, the larger the returns which
may be expected from spraying.

FARMERS UNION NOT TRUST
State and Federal Law Should En-.
courage Cooperation, Whether
by Capital or Labor.

The difference is very clear be.
tween illegal trust and associated ef-
fort which is morally and legally
right. II certain farmers unite to ship
their produce In an endeavor to se-
cure fair price. that is cooperation.
But II this same union prevents other
farmers from selling their produce
unless they join 1t or pay tax to
1t. that is illegal restraint In trade.
Labor may associate in a union to
secure fair wages by proper means
that is cooperation; but II the labor
union estops non.union men from
work, 1t commits the crime Of re-
straining trade.
In appropriating money for enforc.
ing the antitrust law, congress says
none Of 1t can be used to prosecute
farmers organizations or labor unions.
But such action does not exempt
them from the legal liability. The
law itself should be made right, says
the Farm and Home. We farmers
want to know just how far we can 60
In associated effort. We do not want
to cooperate in good faith, only to
wake up and find that we have VIC.
lated some law the enforcement OF
which may get US into serious difl.
Guilty. State and federal law should
encourage cooperation, whether prac.
ticed by farmers and laborers. by
other people, or by capital. How to
do this, while preventing trust evils,
Is a hard nut to crack.

MANAGEMENT OF
The CLAY SOILS
Unless Conditions Are Very Fa.
yorabIe Fertility Remains Quite
Unavailable.
cBy W. MILTON KELLY3

The average clay soil possesses an
abundant supply Of natural fertility,
but unless conditions are very favor
able this fertility remains In an un.
available condition.
In the management Of clay soils the
practical point that We need to keep
in mind is the fact that we must mod.
ify conditions so that this locked up
fertility may become available for
Vie growing crops.
These stored up elements In the coil
are to be regarded as SO much poten.
tial energy, which by our methods Of
cultivation and soil management, may
be converted into active energy.
We must THEREFORE seek to adopt
t4v-h methods as will conserve and
preserve this stored.up energy, or fer
tility, except such as is necessary to
produce crops from year to year.
Clay soils must be properly drained
before they can be brought under a
profitable system Of cultivation. With.
our attempting to name all Of the ad.
vantages Of thorough drainage on clay
soils; by taking away the water from
under the surface and giving the air
and moisture an opportunity to sep
arate the soil particles permits bet
ter growth Of roots.
Drainage also prevents the washing
OF the surface. and assists In con.
serving available fertility. Its intiu.
ence on the temperature Of the soil.
especially in the spring, is Of particu.
lar importance, as 1t lengthens the
growing season, and makes 1t posi-.
BILE for US to begin work earlier In
the spring. and to perform the work
in more thorough manner during
the whole Of the growing season. 1t
is impossible to cultivate a soil satu.
rated with water.
In addition to these direct benefits
there are a number Of indirect ways
in which the soil Is improved by drain.
age, such as the influence Of higher
temperature Of the bacterial and
chemical changes going on In the
soils.
There are bacterial processes that
play an important part In this
branch Of natural economy. and we
4 must so shape our methods Of cultiva.
ftion and management as to get the
|'Imost benefit from these processes.
These clay soils, which are the most
benefited by a thorough system Of tile
drainage. are the most fertile soils in
be country. and they will therefore

PLANS TO AID THE FARMERS
Commissions Of All Sorts Studying
Problem Of Marketing Farm
Products to the Consumer.


To Officials and Members of the
Union:
You can't pick up paper these
days without seeing something on
marketing plans to aid the farmer to
get his produce to the consumer with.
out the great difference in price as
between grower and consumer. Com.
missions OF all sorts are studying this
problem. Individuals, corporations
lawmakers and societies have the one
and only scheme.
1t is all mighty well; much of it all
Is very edifying. With so much dis.
cussion and planning and scheming
and uplifting beneficial results must
result So much agitation can not
take place without getting people to
thinking, and after while, with
thinking along right lines, real results
may come.
But ! want to burn into your brains
this idea. which l have stressed long
and persistently-that the farmer
isn't going to get any adequate, prac.
tical, worthwhile marketing plan un.
til he works it clt himself. More.
over, he won't accept anybody else's
plan. and know it. as you know it.
II he does accept any semi.benevo-
lent scheme in that direction, he
won't stand by it. know It, and you
know 1t. 1t is best usually to be blunt
when the truth Is to be told, because
to softsoap and palaver gets nothing
but contempt in the end. believe
the vast majority Of American farm.
ers know now that am their friend
all the time, and that have no axes
to grind save their axes.
So l will stand forth and tell you
the solemn facts, as | see and under.
stand them. as l see and understand
you. You are not going to get your
emancipation, your freedom. your
rights, through commissions, through
individuals. through corporations, aye,
even through your great government.
1t must come from your own efforts,
your own organization. through plans
formulated within your own ranks
and, ] believe, through the Farmers
Union.
Do not understand that minimize
or would stop others In honest and
genuine endeavor to solve your prob.
lens and get down to tangible.
workable. common sense plan for
marketing. There are many unselfish
and noble spirits at work, and, as I
have stated, by the nationwide agita.
tion over marketing. good is bound to
come.
But you are arbiters and masters
OF your own destiny. Work out your
own plans, or let such plan come as
the solid. concrete action from your
own folk. Then. when 1t is in definite
form, stand fast by your guns. Foe.
men on every side will assault your
ramparts, but stand by your guns.
Patience. pluck, endurance. cooper
alton, determination. principle, leader
ship--all are needed. Get them, broth
er; get them all. Then we'll gel
somewhere.

Just Wanted 10 Be Sur.

For four entire hours had the lady
remained in the shop. She had Wis

exasperated, ventured to make mild
protest.

The lady looked surprised, but not
by any means annoyed.
Certainly" she replied. But what
