LET'S STOP AND THINK.

If we stop and think we can readily
see that the community that PULLS
TOGETHER will do more and accom-
pIishes better results than the one that
is ALWAYS DIVIDED.
By working together and producing
the greatest amount Of marketable
products, and marketing them to the
best advantage and at least expense,
we will have greater profits in the com
munity than we would otherwise re-
ceive.
And by buying our goods from our
local merchants and from one another,
instead of sending away for them, We
are constantly increasing the wealth Of
the community and the resultant pros
perity of each Individual.
When much money m into the
community and only a portion of it
goes out again the surplus at home will
grow, and grow, and grow, until it be-
comes a vertible Eden Of wealth.
Let's do n little thinking.

KEEP THE WEEvILS OUT OF
YOUR CORN.

Now is the time Of all times to cut
out all waste and put into practice
every possible economy measure, says
the Progressive Farmer. One Of theae
that demands immediate attention Is to
prevent the destruction of u stores
grain, paiicllarly corn. by wecvlls.
Undoubtedly We suffer annual losses
from thiI pest that in the aggregate
amount to millions Of dollars. This loss
may very largely be prevented by using
carbon bisulphide, which may be obtain
ed at most drug stores.
Roughly. from ten to twenty-five
pounds of carbon bisulphide is required
for each one Thousand cubic feet of
space in the crib, the exact quantity
being determined by the %tightness Of
the crib. Ifthis be very open probably
twenty five pounds for each thousand
cubic feet will be none too much, while
If it be ceiled and very tight, ten
pounds will probably be sufficient. Of
course. for cribs containing less than
one thousand cubic feet, the dosage
should be reduced in proportion.
AZ to the best way to use carbon BIZ
suIphide, Dr.. W. E Kinds, Of the Ala
bama Experiment Station, says:
"In making the application, level off
the surface Of the corn and prepare
small holes about one foot deep by pull
ing out the ears at intervals Of three
to four feet apart each way. Divide
the liquid to be applied among these
holes. Begin at the side farthest from
and work toward the door. Pour the
liquid directly onto the corn-it vii not
hurt it either for feed or for and
fill in the holes Immediately with corn
to confine the fumes as much as posi-
BILE. Close the door tightly and quickly
paste paper over the cracks around it.
Leave tho room closed at least twenty
four hours and no harm will be done il
left indefinitely. Fumigation is much
more effective during warm weather,
partly because of more rapid %evapora-
ton and partly because insects are
then more active and therefore
susceptible to it. Never attempt to
use carbon bisulphide when the temper
ature is below sixty degrees. 1t is bet
ter to start the treatment at 1890 a. m.
rather than at night, both on account
of having light and also higher temper
ature. A second and stronger treat
ment should be given it after a week
Or two if it should appear that the first
was not satisfactorily effective. Ordi-
narily, one treatment in the fall and
possibly another in March or April will
be sufficient to protect the corn.
Prompt and thorough treatment is
most profitable"

PELLEGRA NOT INFECTIOUS.


To the Public:
No doubt it will interest you to know
that after n careful investigation by
the surgeons Of the United States Pub
lie Health Service AMI others claim
that from all tests made show beyond
any doubt that PeIlagra is an individual
disease caused by Diet and mode Of liv.
ing. Therefore | am giving you below
II report Of DR.. Jos. Goldherger, Sur,
geon in charge Of PcIIaEra Investiga;
ton, ef the United States Public
Health Service, on the
CAUSE AND PREVENTION OF fEILAGRA:
"A minute investigation has been
made at both institutions of all con
ceivable factors that might possibly
explain the striking exemptions Of the
groups Indicated. The only constant
difference discovered relates exclusive
ly to the dietary. At both institutions
those of the exempt group or groups
we're found to subsist on n better diet
than those Of the affected groups. In
the diet Of those developing pellagra
there was noted a disproportioEately
small amount Of meat or other animal
protein food, and consequently the
vegetable food component, in which
corn and strip were prominent and leg
umes relatively inconspicious elements,
forms a disproportionately large part
Of the ration. Although other than
this gross defect no fault in the diet is
appreciable, the evidence clearly in
eliminates it as the cause Of the pella-
gra at these institutions. The influence
may therefore be safely drawn that
pellagra is not an infection. but that
it is a disease essentially of dietary
origin; that is. that it is caused in some
way such, as for example, by the
absence from diet Of essential vita
mines, or possibly, as is suggested by
Meyer and Voegtlin's work, by the
presence in the vegetable-food COM
ponent Of excessive amounts Of n poison
such as soluble aluminium salts
One-sided eccentric diets such as
were consumed by the affected groups
above referred to are in the main
brought about by economic conditions.
Poverty and the progressive rise in the
cost Of food oblige the individual, the
family. and the institution to curtail
the expensive elements-meat, milk,
eggs, legumes~of the diet and to sub.
sist more and more largely, especially
in winter, on the cheaper cereal (corn)

SAVE THE BREEDING STOCK.

The Progressive Farmer sensibly
suggests that in making settlements
this fall and winter we fear the breed
ing animals in the South may suffer a
depletion, which we can i'll afford at
this time. 1t is not unusual for the
mortgages on which supplies to make a
crop are obtained to include the cattle
and other livestock on the farm. If
the merchant or landlord ia not able to
collect what is due him he may take
the SOW and other young female stock,
and when this is done it ia usually ship
ped out Of the South. While we can
not deny any man the right to take the
stock covered by a mortgage in order
to collect what is due him, this il II
time when every effort should be made.
both by the creditor and the debtor, to
save all the female livestock now on
the farms of the South. Non-producing
animals may be sacrificed, but surely
every mare that will bring colt, every
cow that will produce a calf, and every
SOW that will furnish Il litter Of pigs
from which the farmer may make his
meat supply should be spared, In the
long run this will not only be the best
for the farmer, but it will also result in
benefit to the merchant and landlord.
BY all means. the creditor should
spare the females on the farm, and
every one Of them should be put to
work by the farmer, for the increase
will be needed as n money crop" or
to increase the home food supply.

EGYPT'S COTTON AREA REDUCED.

An official decree under date of Sept.
20, limits the maximum area to be de-
voted to cotton in Egypt to 1000, COO
feddans, equal to 1000, 900 acres for
the agricultural year of 1916. Consul
General Arnold of Cairo says that cul-
tivation is forbidden entirely in the
basin Of upper Egypt. No owner or
tenant is permitted to cultivate cotton
On area greater than one-fourth Of a
single holding. In localities where
other crops are not suitable the pro-
portions grown in cotton may be in
creased to one-third, but the maximum
of 1000, 900 feddans is On no condition
to be exceeded.
Authorities regard temporary curtail-
ment as by no mean ar unmixed dis
advantage. The shortage Of grain crops
in Europe, the opportunity to give the
land a rest from single cropping, which
is badly needed, and the chance to
starve out the insect pests which -four
ish on cotton are among the advantages
anticipated. Prevention Of a cotton
glut is also mentioned. Wall Street
Journal.
In the name of common sense, why
don't the Governors of the Cottcn
States call their legislatures in special
session and do for US what Great Brit
ian has done for Egypt?

necessary thing to be done and then
proceed to do it AT ONCE. Hurrah
for Great Britian's sense and nerve.

WEALTH FOR CALAMITY.
Tea. JUS, that-wealth for calamity.

Yes, just that wealth for calamity.
The war in Europe is a calamity-a
world of calsmity-but from it will
come great wealth for the American
farmer.
He will reap the greatest benefit of
all.
When the war is over Europe will
awaken to the fact that it is destitute
Of foodstuffs.
Fields will be untitled except by
aged men, women and young boys, and
the little produced by them will supply
but q fraction Of the demand.
1t is then the American farmer will
step into the breech with his hundreds
of millions Of dollars worth Of farm
products.
The demand will be great and prices
viii be correspondingly high, and the
farmer will reap a golden harvest such
as he has never known before.
And the farmer will spend literally in
turn, and the merchant and the profess
sional man, and the mechanic, and all
Of the people, even unto the humble
editor will share in the newly accumu-
lated wealth that is to come to US
from across the
Tremendous crops are reported, the
government estim ating cor at 1885,
900. 900 bushels, wheat at 1872, 900, 900,
oats at 1877, 900, 900, barley at 1877, 000,-
900 bushels, and tho other crops in pro-
portion.
When the great surplus of this crop
is marketed in Europe at war prices it
will pour 80 much wealth into the pock-
cts Of the farmers that our country
will be flooded with gold, and the liber-
Atty of the farmer in his WI prosper
ity will radiate to all branches of trade.
Patience Ia the ]watehword today, but
tomorrow a different story will be told.
And with patience we should combine
enough common sense to keep us free
from all entanglements in the present
conflict.
