ing bridge. While running, the boy
at the same time was Juggling at his

bridge which he knew would obstruct
the view of the engineer and the fire
man, just as the engine sent forth a
long blast. His shirt had been torn

Engineer J. D. Mercer jumped from

led the engineer few feet around
the curve and showed him the rapid

the engineer told him, "but it so hap
pens that the train would not have
been in danger, even if it had plough

The overhead bridge, used for gen
eral traffic, was quickly burned, and
the train went on its way, reaching
Hattiesburg on time, not having been
delayed by the near-accident.
Young Graham, however, was
roundly applauded by the passengers,

Oklahoma and most of the states
IN the south. says John W. wilkins
in the Oklahoma Farmer. have en-
tirely too many one crop farmers.
Usually the favorite crop is cotton
ana when the crop fails everything
is lost. OFTEN all the feed for the
horses, as well as the vegetables and
meat and many other SUPPLIES for
the family that might just as well be
raised on the farm are purchased
at a good round price from the neigh
boring feed and grocery stores.
Such a plan is bound TO be ruin
Gus. This year, the position of the
cotton growers who are renters is
most lamentable. II is one of the
years when apparently everything is
going out and nothing coming in to
tighten up the burdens that are fall
ing upon us an account of the great
war now being ragged in Europe.
However, such misfortunes are
not without their lessons of value.
To the Oklahoma cotton growers it
will emphasize the need of diversity
ing the farm crops. Al least two or
three kinds of crops should be plant
/ ed one every farm and if one crop
fails there will be one or two op-
portunities to succeed with the other
crops.
Cut down your cotton acreage at
least fifty per cent this year and
plant it to other crops. Try kafir,
milo, Sudan grass, Bermuda grass.
cowpeas. peanuts. soy beans, alfalfa
and Spanish peanuts. Sow wheat.
rye, and barley for PASTURE where
other kinds of crops are not avail
able for pasture purposes. In the
spring SOW a few oats, plant some po
tatoes, put out a good garden and
stop buying everything that you can
produce yourself.
While you are diyersifying your
crops do not forget to diversity your
farming. Get a few brood sows, a
few mares, some good dairy cows
and a few chickens for your farm
In place of selling all OF your feed
crops use what 1t takes to fatten the
farm stock and sell the rest and In
this way get a better price for your
farm crops. This will help you te
build up the soil fertility on your
farm instead of robbing 1t completely
by hauling off all the products tc
distant towns to find a good mar
ket.
