BATTLE WAGED IN BIRDLAND

A free .or-all bird fight occurred at

Cr's yard. Here, proud of its first
fight alone, the little oriole percLe ed
itself on limb to rest.
A woodpecker, peeping out of its
nest in the elm, saw the intruder and
made an attack on the oriole. The
watchful parent orioles, just across the
street, saw the attack and fled to their
baby's rescue. Mrs. Woodpecker ar
rived on the scene, and the fight began
in earnest.
Feathers few, and the fighters gave
vent to birdland profanity. First the

best of it, and then the orioles. When
the fight was at its height robin that
had its nest in the elm tree with the
woodpeckers decided to take a hand,
presumably as a peacemaker. The rob-
in would fight one bird and then anoth-
er. Once all five birds fell to the
ground, but were on the wing again
in an instant and the fight was re-
newed.
A crowd of probably 25 people liv-
ing in the neighborhood gathered. The
robin did not make any great Roadway
as a peacemaker and the mayor was
of the opinion that he just butted in
for a little excitement At any rate
the robin did not appear to have any
favorites in the melee.
The birds fought for more than half
an hour until they were almost ex-
hEusted. Finally the orioles few back
to their maple tree and the woodpeck-
ers few to a limb in their own tree.
The baby oriole, the cause of the
trouble, was found hanging from a
tiny limb, dead.
1T was certainly great fight" said
the mayor, but l feel sorry for that
poor little baby oriole."

INVESTIGATION ON

Demand for Staple Rapidly In

COTTON is GREAT CASH CROP
Farmers Are Advised to Supplement II
With Thoroughly Good Permanent

tenn Of Rotation.
(By G.. H. ALFORD)

/ do not wish to be understood as
advocating the diversification OF crops
to the extent of developing a scarcity
Of raw cotton to meet the demand of
the consuming world. Such a course
would be fatal to our cotton-growing
interests In more ways than one.
am anxious to see sufficiency of raw
cotton produced each year to meet
all demands of consumption at, say IL
cents a pound.
Cotton is the greatest cash crop
grown. The demand for it Is rapidly
increasing. The demands of the con-
Stunning world double every % years.
If we estimate 100000 bales as a
minimum supply on the part Of the
United States for the worlds clothing
at the present time, it will require
$4,000, 900 bales in 1882 and 52,000,00
bales in 1854 to meet the demand for
commerce. do not advise the farm
ers OF the cotton belt to supplant cot
ton as the main cash crop, but urge
all of them to supplement it with thor
oughly good permanent pastures,
leguminous crops, grazing crops, for
age crops and good live stock. The
sensible thing for each farmer to do
is to largely reduce his acreage in
cotton, practice a system of rotation,
including leguminous crops, and raise
mules and horses, cattle, hogs, poul-
try and other live stock. Plant fewer
acres in cotton. plant prolific seed,
fertiliZe and cultivate better and OBJ
tain an increasing yield of lint cot
ton per acre. The acres which will
not be needed for cotton under this
modern system of farming can be
thoroughly sodded in grasses and clo-
vers and planted In leguminous crops,
corn, oats, rape, sorghum and cane.
Under these advanced methods the
soil will rapidly increase in fertility,
the money obtained for cotton will be
kept at home, the cotton crop will
cease to bear the entire burden Of the

BENEFIT IN PIONEERING HAIR

fulness, According to Woman
Who Has Tried Il.

A society woman whose dark, fuzzy
hair was beginning to get gray over
her forehead and about her ears was
depressed by the aging look this gave
her.
It's becoming to some women, but
not 70 me, though l think my hair
when it gets more gray will be very
becoming. My hair has grown very
dark, as hair always does before gray
ing. and that is very trying to my
face, especially when wear evening
dress. 1t gives me dry, shabby look.
/ don't know how else to describe 1t.
Now | mourn over this no longer,
for / have adopted that most becom-
ing little Paris trick in vogue there
among even very young women who
haven't a gray hair in their heads, OF
powdering the hair lightly about the
face in the evening.
1T took a little courage for me to
do this at first, as 1t is still an unusual
thing to do over here, but the result
was so delightful that / soon lost all
timidity about doing 1t.
1T has taken years away from my
appearance. softening as 1t does the
harsh, unnatural darkness OF the hair

make the most careful use of manures
and fer iliZers, but no problem is OF
such importance as the maintenance
Of the supply Of plant food in the soil
The first step to be taken in order to
add to the supply Of plant food, is to
reduce washing to minimum. Flow
ing water removes more plant food
in one year than is removed in five by
crops sold from the farm. The addk
ton of the vegetable matter, winter
cover crops, deep blowing and proper
ly constructed terraces will reduce the
washing of land to a minimum.
Diversification of crops enables the
farmers family to fare sumptuously
every day In the year on farm prod
ucts, makes it possible for him to uti-
lie three times as much land as the
average farmer In such a way that his
productiveness rapidly increases in
stead of wearing out about Is acres
at the time and keeps the cotton money
at home, but as James ]. Hill says, our
prime object in adopting a system of
farming, should be to increase the
fertility or the SOIL.
The wise farmer should always
strive to grow that crop or crops
which extended over a long period will
possess the greatest money value. By
this do not mean that farmers should
be so shortsighted as to sacrifice the
fertility Of their lands and future
wealth for immediate returns.
Now, it has been found by actual
tests on experimental plats that on
definite area, say 20 acres, that it is
possible to produce as much cotton in
ten years by practicing a three-year
rotation of corn and peas, oats fol
lowed by peas and cotton, as it is
possible to produce by planting the
entire 20 acres in cotton every year.

total expense of each farm, the in
iquitous credit system that has for 40
years dragged the growers bound and
broken will no longer exist and the
growers will each year grow in
strength and permanent prosperity.
The first efforts at breaking away
from cotton usually consist in going
largely into another single crop sys-
tenn of farming rather than going into
the production of a variety of crops.
The evils Of the new system are much
greater than those of the all-cotton
system. Many farmers rush into the
truck business. OF course, truck
crops should be grown on every farm
and, In some particular localities, they
may constitute the main reliance for
cash, but / assert positively that the
truck business is a gamble for the
average cotton farmer and that he will
win just enough to cause him to put
up all he has and lose. Trucking has
lured many a farmer to financial ruin.
James J. Hill, one of the greatest
thinkers of this age, says: Give us a
system of farming that will greatly
increase the fertility Of the soil" He
further states: Forty years ago a
farmer had to provide for but one
other than himself. Today every farm
er has to produce food for two besides
himself"
Hon. Henry Wallace recently said:
The nineteenth century farmer,
speaking generally, was no farmer at
all, but q miner of soil fertility, a soil
robber" Mr.. Hill, speaking along the
same line, said: The average Amer.

Attractive coat models of the plain
