The Boys Part in the Great Came.

Bows YOU are the most energetic beings in the world.
Thoughes older people call you azy sometimes but they do
not understand You are bit lazy. You are all are with

You country boys may think you standing merely on
the ledge Of things that only distant spectators OF the
contest which the strong and the lucky wagng You are
mpatenty waiting chance to Jump and your mette
Why you are right in the heart Of things already Those
distant shouts that you hear just echoes Of the battle
your elbow Get in the gamer At this moment It'll raging
with beathes intensity all around you Your comrades
calling The strong and the lucky everywhere your blood
brothers. Indeed you yourselves the giants and star
players, the central figures in the great game
Look around vou boys There hundred things for
you d. brave and beautiful things There out
acres be renewed good roads be built trees be planted
methods of cropping and breeds of livestock to be
introduced.
Or your aspirations be higher you want to reach the
souls Of instead of their material comforts why, look
around you more Are there not wrongs to set right
drab lives and dull minds to be Illuminated wipe away
plead gospels to preach? hundred things do?
Yes thousand, and every sized job.
You cannot do them ALL and you cannot do them alone
But when your work is selected you will find multitude of
willing hands to help The whole world has heard the call to
service The greatest happiness life holds comradeshp in
unsefsh devotion to the common welfare This may sound
'preachy," but it is the homely, practical truth.
The ancient of country life its loneliness. The
farmer powed alone and marketed alone He solitary
individual long after city had learned to groups;
therefore he suffered at their hands, He paid the penalty of
standing alone.
But great thing for you boys that your fathers stood
thus alone against the world. Standing alone made them
strong and you have inherited that strength You too

BETTER ROADS IN MISSOURI
Movement Has Passed Boom Stage
and Become Fixed Policy-Good
Advertisement for State,

When the public roads bureau Of
the department of agriculture made
its study Of roads covering period
which ended in 1918, Missouri did not
figure among the leading states either
In its mileage of improved roads or
in progress made in road building,
while some of the southern states
with smaller resources in financial
way showed striking evidences OF
progress, says Farm Progress. They
had been building cheap.roads of such
materials as were Immediately at
hand, and that is what Missouri is
doing today with such energy and en-
thusiasm that the next survey of the
road situation is sure to tell differ
ent story. This will be good thing
for state pride and as state adver-
tisement, but vastly more significant
is the direct benefit derivable from
roads that can be traversed at all sea-
sons with full loads Every good road
that is built today and tomorrow and
every road that is improved viii go
to make Missouri better state in

President to Marry.

Woodrow Wilson, the president
Of the United States, has announc-
ed his engagement to Mrs. Nor
man Gait, of Washington. The
date of the wedding has not been
fixed, but probably will take place
in December at the home of the
bride.elect. The brief announce
ment from the white house made
by Secretary Tumulty came as a
surprise to official Washington,
but to a number of intimate friends
long has been expected. From
this circle came the story of a
friendship, whose elimination was
viewed as a happy. turn in the
trouble and lonely life of the
nations chief executive.
Mrs. Gait is a cultured lady and
a great favorite in the Wilson
family, the presidents daughters
being very fond Of her.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
SELF SoWN FLOWERS

(By Charles A. Keffer, Division of Elk
tension, University Of Tennesee.)
Last year the best strain of i'm
proved zinnias obtainable was planted
in one flower garden, and the show
that resulted was very satisfactory.
This plant has been very much i'm
proved in recent years, and now comes
in brilliant orange-scarlets, clear pinks
and lemon yelloWs: the old dull pinks
and reds are scarcely seen in the best
mixtures. 1t seemed as if every zinnia
in the garden was perfect.
Last spring great many seeding
zinnias sprung up from seed Of last
years plants. No new seed was pur-
chased. Since all of last years plants
were Of the finest quality, it was rea-
sonable to suppose that these seed
lings would produce equally perfect
flowers. In fact more than half Of this
years plants were inferior Many OF
the flowers were either single or semi
double, and the prevailing color was
dull pink and dull red shades Very
few of the plans gave the brilliant
flowers that characterized last years
crop.
The same thing is noticed in
petunias. Starting with the finest
fringed varieties, three years Of self
sown plants have resulted in rever-
sion to the old form and to very
large degree, dull pinks and white.
One of the agreeable experiences
with self-sown flowers has been with
hardy phlox. Several years ago a few
plants of four varieties were planted;
they have seeded freely and many Of
the seedlings have been permitted to
stand: these seedlings vary greatly
from their parents and from each 9th
err in height of plant, time Of bloom,
and size and color Of flowers, and none
has developed the dull purple color OF
the old fashioned phlox.
Pasturing and Turning Under
Pasture only when the land is dry
and untrozen. When the clover is in
full bloom cut it thoroughly by discing
and then turn it into the soil, and pre-
pare the land for the summer crop.

Obituary.

The angel of death has again
come into our community and
taken from our minst loving
father and brother and a kind
neighbor and friend.
Robert Hall Cornell was born
April 81, 1872, and died Aug, %,
1915; aged forty-three years, three
months and one day, He was
married Jan. 81, 1897, to Miss
Maud Oliver, who proceeded him
to the grave more than fourteen
years. He was baptized into Christ
Aug. 9, 1915, and lived continually
happy, for eternal life until death.
He had suffered for several months
from tuberculosis of the throat,
but he bore his sufferings patient
ly and cheerfully until the last few
days OF his life. He was so glad
to have his friends come in and
talk to him, but as the end drew
near it panied him to talk, but
he still had a pleasant word OF
welcome for everyone. All was
done for him that loving hands
could do; and in our human
blindness it seems hard that he
was taken from his motherless
children and only sister, but God
doeth all things well. Their loss
is his gain, for. be is through
with the cares aud pains Of this
world. We would say to the
sorrowing ones, Remember his
last words, BE good and God
bless you, and try to live so that
when death calls you, that you all
may be reunited around Gods
throne. IA Friend.

WINTER OATS.

Fall and winter oats yield so much
better than spring oats and serve to
prevent the soil from washing, as well
as furnishing grazing, that more OF
them should be planted. The hardy,
or winter varieties sown in September
stand the winter all right in Tennes'
see. From two to two and half bush
els should be sown per acre. The
seed should be treated with blue-stone
for smut before planting.

GARDEN PLANTING
DURING SEPTEMBER

(By Charles A. Keffer, Division Of Ex-
tension, University of Tennessee.)
If the garden is as rich as it ought
to be there is yet time to grow crop
of radish and of mustard. Kale and
potato onions can be planted for win
ter use and lettuce will grow large
enough for cutting, though it cannot
head before freezing weather.
The limiting factors in fall garden
ing are soil fertility and moisture.
September is usually dry month in
Tennessee, but in fall gardening we
must take a chance. II the seed can
be sown when the land is in the right
moisture condition, and the garden is
thoroughly cultivated, the result will
in almost all cases justify the work
But even with perfect moisture condi-
tons vegetables will not thrive unless
there is an abundance of plant food.
Manure the garden heavily, plow deep
and fine the soil thoroughly. One inn
portant difference between the spring
and fall garden is that in the spring
there is constantly increasing warmth,
favoring the growth of the vegetables,
while in the fall the heat becomes less
from day to day, reducing the vitality
of the plants until there comes a kill
ing frost.
The small round varieties of radish,
such as Twenty-Day Forcing and Rap
i'd Red, are best for September SOW
ing. Wayahead and lettuce, Chinese
mustard and Dwarf Curled Scotch
Kale are good varieties. Multiplier
onions are chiefly used, tn Ugh bulbs
of Yellow Danvers are very satisfac-
tory.

FertiIizina.

To soils lacking phosphorus, 200 to
300 pounds of acid phosphate should
be disced into the land before seeding.
1t is a good practice to make heavy
applications of mineral fertilizers to a
clover crop, instead of applying it to
the corn or other crop which is to fol-
low. Lime is beneficial to crimson
clover, though it is not absolutely nee
essary for a successful crop. 1t should
beN applied and mixed well with the
soil before seeding.

incubation is necessary on lands
which have not previously grown Grim

Crimson clover may be seeded be-

possible, though this is not absolutely
essential if preparation has been done,
as given above. Cow fifteen pounds
