total expense Of each farm, the in
iquitous credit system that has for 40
years dragged the growers bound and
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
tho production Of 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. or 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 tho
truck business Is 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 farmer to financial ruin.
James j. Hill, one of the greatest
thinkers Of this age, says Give us
system Of farming that will greatly
increase the fertility OF tho soil" He
further states: Forty years ago
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 miner Of soil fertility, a soil
robber." Mr.. Hill, speaking along tho
Same line, said: "The average Amer
fcan farmer has no equal for careless.
ness and for adhering to dscredited
methods Of farming; we will soon be
unable to feed ourselves or to feed
the boasted home markets for the 9TH
er industries that we arc building on

quent and shallow cultivation and
make the most careful use OF manures
and fertilizers, 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 addi-
tion Of the vegetable matter, winter
cover crops. deep plowing and proper
Iy constructed terraces will reduce the
washing Of land to a minimum.

WORLDS END BY FIRE


When the bottom OF the sea gives
way from some future volcanic dis
turbancc the whole earth will be con
sumcd in flames, just as other worlds
every day arc being consumed, ac-
cording to Louis Rahourdin, the
French Scientist. Recent volcanic dis
turbancCS lead this scientist TO believe
that such Il time is not far distant.
The carth's crust is very thin at the
bottom OF the sea, he says, and he adds
that the floor on which We stand is
more frai than we are led to believe.
Mr. RabOurdin imagincS n disaster
so great as to involve the whole earth.
such an event should occur he thinks
that from a distant world its appear
ancc and progress would exactly par
allcl what we ourselves see in the case
blaze out in the heavens from time TO
time.
Mr.. Rabourdin says: Suppose that
following upon an extraordinary
twisting movement, due to retreat Of
the central mass, a large mass Of the
sea bottom should give and, falling
suddenly, should let in the mass Of the
oceans waters upon the incandescent
interior matter. The water would be
dccomposcd by the heat, the hydrogen
would burn and it would burn more as
1t had access to more oxygen. The
confagration would thus gain gradu-
ally in force, accompanied by electric
phenomena, and the greater part Of
the carth's crust, would probably be
displaced. The earth, passing through
a critical epoch and returning for the
time being to it's formative period,
would again be nothing but globe Of
fire.
For the far-off worlds that swing

phenomenon Of a new star that blazes

pear all at once, increases in brillian-
cy asif it would eclipse the luminous

HISTORY OF POLO.

The international polo trophy be-
gan its existence in a modest fashion.
1t was small cup presented by the
Westchester club for competition,
when John Watson, a famous hard
riding Irishman, and his Hurting
ham team went to America and won
it in 1886. Polo was then only six
teen years old in England, and much
younger in the United States. The
cup remained in England for twenty
three years, until Harry Payne Whit
ney's team brought it back to this
country in 1909. Mr.. Watson was
undoubtedly the father of English
polo. He learned the game with his
regiment in India, where its origin
is lost in antiquity. History is silent
about the exploits of the Medes, but
there is authentic evidence that the
Persians played polo. In England
it was at first sneered at and dubbed
"croquet on horseback"

HEART BEAT AFTER DEATH
swItchman's PuIsatIon Reported to
Have Continued Long After Res
piration Had Ceased.

Chicago medical circles were inter-
ested in the report of an inferno IN
one of the largest hospitals in the
city that the heart of patient who
died in his ward had continued pull
sation two hours and forty minutes
after the mans respiration had
ceased. The report was made by DIR.
L. G.. Morrill, of the staff of st.
Luke's hospital.
The patient was George Fitch, ff-
ty-two years old, switchman, who
had been caught between two freight
cars. His chest was crushed. He
was operated on and died the night
of July 81. According to Doctor
Morrill's report, breath stopped at
midnight. Doctor Morrill, remained
by the mans side and discovered
that his heart continued to beat. 1t
did not cease until 2 40 o'clock in
the morning, he declared, and, mean
while, by every test the mans lungs
were lifeless.
Physicians declared the case of ex-
treme interest, and requested Doctor
Morrill, to elaborate his official re-
port. ,~-r-ETf,, ~
