So long as people refuse to adjust
themselves to their conditions; so long
as they will seek to acquire the things
for which they cannot afford to pay
the legitimate price; so long, in short,
as they are persistently trying to "get
something for nothing" just so long
may the public be expected to be
bilked by takers, and solicited contri-
buttons to organized charity, which is
the only legitimate source of supply
for such demand.
There are three things which the
prudent man seldom loses. His purse,
his reputation and his temper.

No Abandoned Farms

Stories of abandoned farms in New England states are declared pure fic- ton by Prof. Edward Wallace of tn. Indiana college of agriculture He re- gently completed a tour of investiga- ton and found some interesting facts, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Some farm residences were found vacant and some farms so worn ont that cultivation was hardly profitable, but he found such land selling from $10 per acre to SITE. depending on how well land was situated. Men who understand soil reconstruction are buy ing the land and taking their chances on increasing it's productivity. When crops fail, these new farmers do not blame providence or the weather. but look for chemical conditions in the soil If the soil is lacking in clements necessary to plant life. they correct conditions. Lime, phosphates and vart- ous fertilizer compounds are employed.
 The same fight is being waged In Ohio. The state board of adninistra- tion has used many carloads of pull verized lime this year on stata farms, putting the soil in condition for in- creased production. It is using pull verized limestone from the peniten- tiary rock ouarries near Columbus. Analysis shows it ideal for soil better ment. Worn out land has been fully restored in Ohio in hundreds of in- stances. Joint action of brain ani brawn brings it about without delay. If the soil of any state is given proper care it will continue to produce. Worn out soil is proof of nothing so plainly as poor methods and lack of care.
