ARE YOU STILL FARMING POOR
 LAND?

The farmer who would have rich land quickest and at least expense must at once adopt the plan of at least one soil-improv- ing crop for each non-soil-improv. ing crop. grown and sold. When this has been done, and not be- fore, the foundation will have been laid for an enduring system of agriculture.
 What does this mean? Simply that we, each and every one, must see to it. beginning this year, that every possible acre is kept busy winter and summer growing soil building crops. If all your 1914 cotton fields that are to be in cultivated crops this year are now covered with crim- son clover, bur clover or vetch if all your lands now in oats or other small grain are to grow peas. beans or clover following the grain; and if peas, beans or peanuts are to be planted in all your corn middles this summer, then you're on the highroad to rich lands. big yields. and max imum profits. If not-well, fran kly. you're falling short of your opportunities. The Progressive Farmer.

CO., COOPERATION IN BUYING THRESAERS
 AND HAY PRESSES

If we are wise we shall have a great increase in the production of oats and wheat this spring. Many communities will not have threshing outfits to take care of the products. There is an oppor- tuhity for the cooperative pur- chase of these outfits. Some communities will not have suffi- cient harvesters; again an oppor- tunity for the cooperative pur- chase of these farm implements.
 There will no doubt be a great increase in the hay production. We know this from reports al- ready received. There is an op- portunity for communities to as, certain ahead of time what they will need in the way of baling outfits to bale the hay for mar ket.
 Then comes the problem of disposing of the surplus oats, wheat, corn and baled hay. Our Farmers Unions, farmers clubs, and other organizations should study this winter and consult with merchants, bankers and ot- hers about the best methods of marketing. and also about the particular form in which the pro- duct is prepared for market. Had the corn and oats best be put in sacks or shipped in car load lots?-The Progressive Far mer.

MORE FEED FOR STOCK MORE STOCK
 TO FEED

There's no getting away from this big fact; we need here in the South, first of all, more feed for our livestock, and then more livestock to feed.
 There's no getting around our urgent need of more feed crops; we need these, millions of bush els of grain and thousands of hay, because no country can ever claim to be a country of even halfway good farmers, or ever become a livestock producing country, that depends upon i'm ported foo d and feedstutfs. Hence it of primary importance in urging the production of more livestock on Southere farms, to couple with it the admonition to grow an abundance of d crops.
 We must never forget that feed + of more importance than breed, and that in the South far too many pure-bred animals have de- generated into worthless scrubs through lack of adequate feed and the belief that they couli shift for themselves. At the same time there must be acquir- ed the knowledge that will en- able us to properly balance our feeds and feed them to best ad- vantage. The Progressive Far mer.

THREE WILL RESIGN
FROM CABINET OF
ENGLAND, IS REPORT
Determined Opposition to Con-
sCriptiOn Will Lead to
Changes, London Hears.

LONDON, Dec. 31.--Rumors that three
members of the cabinet will resign be-
cause of their opposition TO CONSUMPTION
gained wide circulation when the min
listers met today to draft the govern
ment's CONSUMPTION bill.
Chancellor Of the Exchequer Reginald
McKenna, President OF the Board Of
Trade Walter Runciman, and Sir John
Simon, secretary of state for home at
fairs. were the members mentioned.
Resignation of the three ministers was
rumored earlier in the week, but IT was
later reported that Premier Asqulth's
conclliatory efforts had succeeded. and
that none of the three would leave the
ministry. The reports were suddenly
renewed today and created sensation
in government circles.
Thus far there is no confirmation Of
reports that Lewis V. Harcourt hos
quit the ministry though the rumor
Is credited In many quarters.
Three separate drafts of bills for
compulsory service veN presented to
the ministers at tod9y's session. These
embodied the views of each faction in
the cabinet. One draft. said to he
fRthered by Lloyd-George, provided not
onlyF for the enrolment of unmarried
men but contained provisions for draft
ing married men, should the govern
ment find this step necessary The
other two proposed bills contained less
drastic proposals, providing only for
service by unmarried men.
