THE IMPORTANCE
 OF PREPARATION.

Good preparation of the land is half the battle. Plow well, har- row and re.harrow until a per feet seed bed is obtained. The preparation of the land is the first fight to make this season for better crops
 We are not in the corn belt be. cause we have not given proper attention to livestock farming If bigger corn crops help produce better livestock, more livestock means bigger corn crops. For better livestock plant good seed, prepare a good seed bed, utilize every available bit of manure and humus making material, culti- vate often and shallow, and study a plan of rotation that will build up your soil. Our corn crops
 
 are small not so much because of the way we handle our corn but the way we handle our land. Get the land ready,
 One of the most difficult and important points in growing crop of cotton is the getting ot a good stand. On heavy land the task is harder. While preparing for work, see to it that your planters are in good condition to do good work, You cannot at- ford to have a poor stand rom careless planting. The prepara> tion of the soil for cotton crop IS of the greatest importance. It not only insures a better stand, but decreases the amount of cul- tivation required by tue crop lat CT on, and finally insures the far mer of more cotton.

 Whenever the department is unable to secure from the own CT a proposal to sell the site de- sired, or any part thereof, for a reasonable price, a resort may De had to condemnation proceed lngS to ascertain the valuation of the property. If the price, so Judically determined, is satisfac- tory, the award is confirmed and payment made. If the damages are deemed excessive, however. the proceedings are dismissed and some other location is take n under consideration.
 Where an acceptable title to the site selected, or any part thereof, can not be secured by voluntary conveyance, an agree ment may be reached with the owners as to the price to be paid and the title condemned under consent verdict fixing the award at the agreed valuation. When condemnation is necessitated by the condition of the title, it is customary for the owner to pay the costs thereof, besides fur nishing the usual surveys and the abstracts, evidences of title and etc., required by the Attor- ney General.
 The building, if any, on the site should be reserved by the vendor, to be removed upon 60 days notice, usually. after pay ment for the land has been made. Generally, notice to clear the site is not given until the con- structiOn of the Federal building is about to begin, if the vendor is willing, pending such removal to pay reasonable ground rent the rate for which can not be made part of the consideration for the site, but will be agreed upon after the land becomes the property of the Government. A small bond is usually required in this connection.

work. Deep breaking and blow ing under of organic matter should be the rule in the spring for cotton and corn. Then there is no crop grown where a liberal use of high grade commercial fertilizer pays better than on cot ton, but do not get the fertilizer craze. Get humus (decaying or, ganic matter) restored thru the growth of legumes and feeding it to get manure.
 Deep blowing, thorough prep. aration and heavy fertilizing are all necessary to grow good truck crops. In all cases use good seed. 1t will be cheaper to pay a good price than to plant those of poor quality. Then arrange some seed plots and grow your own seeds.
 The shoulders of the stock are tender from the winrerS rest, and the mules will need attention to prevent galling. 1t is a good thing to bathe the shoulders with alum water, made by dissOlving alum in hot water, after starting to work.
