Once again kind reader, may we not appeal to you to make yourself a leader in your neigh borbood. a soldier of progress, a missionary of cooperation a build CT of the new civilization that we must yet work out in the rural South? Time presses; a great op- portunity beckons us. Out some great crisis as a rule has come the new spirit that has remade nations and civilizations in other lands and times. It was only when her old systems of farming had broken down that Denmark turned to diver sifcation and O. operation. It was only when Irish farmers found they could no longer make profits by old methods that Sir Horace Plum kett was able to begin his now world famous movement for rural cooperation in Ireland. Is there not today, as we have already intimated such an opportunity in tae South? The necessity for turning from the one-crop sys- tenn calls for diversification and diVersification calls for cooperat- ion, demands spirit of neigh boriness. fellowship, com-ade- ship among farmers such as we have never heard before.

Right now a virtual revolution is pending in Southern agricult-
 are. Old things are passed away D hold all things are become new. The call Is for leaders. The call iS for plain farmers and farmers wives and farm boys and farn girls to make themselves leaders in their n ighborhoos-leaders gor new methods of farming, and leaders also in new methods of farm living.
 The old indvidualistic un-Christ- ian way of living must be forever done away with. The old doct- rine of Every man for himself and the devil take hindmost" must give way to new doctrine,
 Bear ye one anothers' burdens Cooperation is the word of the new century. whole neigh borhoods must learn to work to gether.
 You cant farm profitably any longer unless yoa work with your neighbors. You must work with them in buying fertilizers amp supplies. You must wait with them in buying and using mod ern labor-saving machinery. You must work with them in getting more and better livestock. You must with them in banking, shln- ping, and selling your crops after you grow them. You must work with them to develop some sys-

DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF WHEAT
 FOR DIFFERENT STATES

Useful information in regard to the varieties of winter wheat best fitted to various States in the eastern half of the Union is contained in a bulletin of the de- partment- Farmers Bulletin No. 6l6, Winter wheat varieries for the eastern United States.
 Since the introduction of hardy varieties of winter wheat from southeastern Europe the winter wheat area in this country has expanded steadily northward. It has been found by experience that winter wheat in general gives larger yields than spring wheat because of it's greater drouth resistance and it's earlier maturity, which enables it to es- cape hail, winds, disease, etc. In Iowa, foreXample, the average yields for five years show an ad- vantage of s. } bushels. A great number of varieties, however, of winter wheat make a careful se- lection on the part of the farmer advisable.
 Copies of this bulletin will be sent free cn application as long as the supply sts.
