Pick-ups

Folks who think they a~e better
than others, usually aren't.
Because you do not like man
is no reason he is yo1r enemy;
this is a busy world, and no one
has time TO sit right down and
hate you.
Coed people are only half as
good, and bad people only half as
bad, as other people regard them.
l believe more in the goodness
Of bad people than | do in the
badness of good people.
A lie travels by the Marconi
route, while Truth goes by slow
freight and is often ditched at the

FINE CROP OUTLOOK
FOR DAKOTA FARMER;
TO PLANT more CORN
Abundance of Good Seed Corn
Assures Larger Yields
Many Will Plant Alfalfa.

Aberdeen, S. D.. March 26.-The
spring outlook for crops in this section
Of South Dakota is extremely optimis-
tic. according to H. Il. Patterson, Sue
perintendent OF the South Dakota Bet
ter Farming association. Of Aberdeen.
Conditions are considerably better
right now than last SPRING" said MI.
In the surface soil to give a good start
enough, of course. to grow a crop.
Spring rains. which usually occur in
South Dakota in abundance late IN
March and early in April, are needed.
Farmers all over Brown county are
planning to put in a third or a half
more of corn this year than last, and
some will put in twice as much as In
previous years. The farmers are influ-
enced to do this for two reasons. n
reason is that corn fares better should
there be a lack of moisture. The other
is that farmers this year have an album
lance of splendid, accliinated seed
corn. There is more good seed corn In
Brown county this year than ever be-
Tore. There is enough so the farmers
can discard all of the poorer ears. This
corr has a high termination test n
Will mean a good stand OF corn.
"A good many of the farmers of tho
county are going to SOW alfalfa this
season. Most of the farmers now I'M
derstand the method Of handling alfal-
ia, n good results are certain. Early
seeding of alfalfa will be preferable
this season. for it will enable the al
ralfa to get ahead of tho weeds"
