PLANT SOME
 MONEY CROP
Besides Cotton, Try Some of the Small Grains, Such As
 Wheat. :

It is without question advisa- ble for the farmers of this county to plant some money crop other than cotton. Just what this crop should be is an indl- yidual question that can be an- swered only after some study of the conditions which surround each individual farmer. am sure, however, that one or more of the small grains should be sown now, if you have not al ready seeded your land to them. 1t will be a perfectly safe course to follow, even if no machinery for harvesting can be had next spring, or if no milling con- panies are formed for handling the grain after threshing.
 If no grain crop whatever can be harvested from your fall seeding, you have still four good reasons for sowing, and four sources of profit, viz: Winter pasturage, winter cover crop, green manure crop and hay crop. Any one of these reasons for seeding your land to fall sown grain is sound, and the profits sure, whether the money comes as direct payment for the pasturage and hay, or in directly, through the increased yield, due to the growing of a winter cover crop on the turn ing under of the plants as gree manure.
 It is easy to figure profits from the hay and pasture, but to some of us the advantage of a winter cover crop seem vague. However, concrete figures, taken from infallible scientific data reveal to us just how criminal it is to leave our clean-cultivated fields bare during the winter months. Where a winter cover crop is grown, the loss of nitro gen through drainage water is practically nil. On the other hand, lands left bare through the winter months lose from 200 to 300 pounds of the most costly plant foods. Figure the nitrogen as costing 15c to 20c per pound, and the profits of the

winter cover crop become more tangible.
 Some day you or your chil- dren will have to put back that nitrogen ,and the price will doubtless be higher. By all means get something on the land before it is too late, if you have to steal the seed. Remem- Der that you are planting win ter-growing crops for at least five reasons, all of them good bnd each one full justification in itself.
 Consider also the fact that the growing of this crop will in no way interfere with the plant ing of corn or cotton on the same land next spring. It will soon be too late and if you are caught it will be because of your inability to judge of good thing when it is before you. understand that even in the i'm minence of this present crisis some landlords refuse to allow their land to be let out for the production of any crop besides cotton.
 Such short-sighted policy is very nearly treason, and is cer- tainly drag upon the progress of our county. It is bad enough to follow system after it's ser vile decay sets in but to follow it on into the grave, is surely lthe policy of a dead one.

May Establish Insurance De- partment.
Special to Independent.


 Little Rock, Oct. 10.-It is probable that bill will be in- troduced in the next General Assembly providing for the organization of an insurance department, distinct from the State Auditors office, modelled upon the the departments of Missouri, New York and a number of other states. It is contended that the importance of the office has outgrown it's present restrictions, and that lit should have broader scope, and greater authority. The de- partment now does not cost more than $2,000 a year, while other states spend many times that amount on their insurance departments, and accomplish much more. The proper super vision of the insurance business ance to the insuring public. It of the state is of great import is proposed that the position shall be made appointive and not elective, so that it may be removed as much as possible from politics.

Editors Note-Cora Anderson,
the man-Wonnan of Milwaukee, who
for thirteen years dressed as a man,
worked as a man, acted as a man
and to whom two other women pass

tells how she, a woman disguised as

This world is made by man-for

And whatever man may say abOtt

POLICE IN DOUBT ABOUT THE
SCHULTZ CONFESSION
The police of the Sheffield avenue
police station who were extremely
joyful yesterday when Richard
Schultz, former patient at the Kan
kakee insane asylum, confessed that
he had struck down Mrs. Elizabeth
Healy, who was found with her
throat cut Monday afternoon.
They were quite sure the murderer
was in custody. And they were
greatly pleased. But today they are
puzzled as to whether Schultz really
committed the murder or whether it
is merely a delusion.
Many points in his confession are
cOrroborated by the evidence, yet
there are other parts decidedly
wrong.
Another thing that has raised
doubt in the minds of the police is
the willingness of Schultz to admit
any charge made against him.
Schultz is a brother of Mrs. Mary
Style, who killed their mother Is
years ago and was acquitted on an
insanity plea.

HEALTH AND THE OPEN WINTER

HEALTH AND THE OPEN WINTER
The old-time theory that an open
winter is prolific Of ill-health seems to
be disproved for the present season,
in Chicago at least. Ths winter has
been unusually mild, the thermome-
ter on January % recording 60 de-
grees. There has been practically no
snow throughout the months OF De-
cember and January According to
the Bulletin Of the Chicago Depart
ment Of Health, there has been for
the eight weeks ending January "a a
reduction of 29.6 per cent. in the pnsu-
monia death-rate as compared with
the average of a like period for the
previous five years: 1913 per cent. In
influenza and rs per cent. in the rate
for tuberculosis. There have likewise
been reductions OF measles, which
dropped 50 per cent; scarlet fever,
% per cent: diphtheria, 2i.2 per
cent, and whooping cough, 1872 per
cent. The Bulletin accounts for this
by the opportunity given by the mild
weather for outdoor living and better
ventilation in living quarters. It Is
estimated that in the diseases named
there has been a saving OF BIS lives
during the six weeks of Decemb sr'
and January for which the comparison
was made.

FEED THE BIRDS.

! The Illinois Game and Fish Conser-
walton of Illinois makes public appeal
to sportsmen, farmers and all good
1 citizens generally to do what they
can to keep game from perishing dur
ing this period of cold and deep snow.
The appeal has the endorsement OF
the Chicago Intsr-Ocean which points
out that this practically means an
emergency call to scatter food where
the quail, prairie chicken and part
| ridge can get it. There is not much
other game in Iowa or Illinois at this
and shore birds have all gone south.
Rabbits are officially classed as pests
and besides are pretty well able to
taks care of themselves. Most OF the
prairie chickens go beyond reach OF
the deep SHOWS. The partridge is able
to care for himself in winter as in
summer. But the quail is often in
troubls in time of heavy snow. The
Inter-ocean goes on to say:
So We hope that ting farmers and
Hk'oi ls'AiNA al QiStAiN Wil6E6 Inc QuaHa
still are to be found will give heed to-
the appeal of the commission. The
very poorest use to which a game
bird may be put is to let it starve to-
death. A hard winter, unless the
birds are fed, will kill OF more quail
than all the shooters do in the open
season.
Nail pieces OF suet to tree trunks
and limbs. Scatter seeds and grain
where the birds will see them. In
close bread in wire and put 1t where
the birds go for shelter. You win be-
pleased to see how quickly the birds
will discover your offerings and how
eagerly they will partake of your
hospitality.
The call is one that should be heed
ed by the good citizens # Iowa as
well as those of Illinois AS stateo
above, the very poorest use to which
a game bird may be put is to let it
starve to death. This can be pre-
vented by feeding the birds during
cold weather whan there is snow on
the ground. Here is a fine opporti1n-
ity for the Boy Scouts and Campars
Girls to set a good example in doing
good.
