CONTENT IN SIMPLE THINGS
Pity. Affection and Love, for Instance. Lead to Rich contentment and
 Serene Peace.

You may choose not to ignore the evils of life. but you may study them inst as the physician and the surgeon study all the morbid growths of men. tal and eorporeal life.
 By a close study Of the dreadful foe you may fn the end master the secret of his destructive power, and. perehanee. you may come upon this discovery. that the evils of life do not flow from the nature of things. but from human blindness. from human selfshness. from precisely that lack of cohesion among the various mem bers of the human family which alone can raise them to higher levels Of cui- ture and happiness.
 If men were more sensitive 10 each others feelings. if they could under stand one another better. they would cease to deplere their own su1erings and find that life in the larger sense. a corporate life Of consenting human indiyidualities. contains within itself potentialities Of real happiness
 Quite elementary and simple things. Ike pity and affection and love. sup ply us with materials. not for wailing and misery. but for rich content ment and serene peace

COOPERATION IS IN FAVOR
Necessity for Working Together Arises Chiefly From Clumsy Method
 of Distributing Products.

Many case of so-called oYerpro- duction is only failure to distribute properly the products to the points where they are desired While one market suffers from congestion, caused by oversupply. another may be suffering for want of sufficient amount, and at the same time tons of produce may be wasting in fields and orchards for want of profitable market. The remedy lies in more uniform distribution.
 A new faith has developed on the part of the farmers themselves that the cooperative plan is the most satis factory. The farmer is being driven to co operation by necessity. In the United States the necessity arises chiefly from the clumsy and unbusinesslke method of distribution of food prod ucts. resulting in an enormous dis crepancy between the price paid to the producer and the cost to the con sucser United States Agricultural Year Book

Beautiful Elao Flower

Among the 5tateliest and proudest of the members of Americas flower family none excels the larger blue flag, which also wears the names of blue iris and feur-de-lis. Ruskin calls it the Flower of Chivalry. which has a sword for its leaf and a lily for it's heart. Longfellow pronounces it "a flower born in the purple. to joy and pleasance." It blooms in the wet. rich marsh and meadow. from May to July. and finds its home from New foundland and Manitoba to Florida and Arkansas. The flag flower must look to the insect world entirely for it's propagation. particularly to the bees as its pollen carriers So it puts forth flower that is blue tinted. for i.s experience has taught it that bee can be wooed with blue better than with any other color.

WELFARE OF SMALL FARMER
Salvation Depends Upon His Ability to Compete With Large Farmer
 or Farming Corporation.

One of the most important of all economic problems is the preservation of the prosperity Of the small farmer. who dc most of his own work on his farm His salvation depends upon his ability 10 compete with the large farmer or the farming corporation. writes Thomas Nixon Carver in Utah Farmer Aside from the question of securing credit. two things threaten to place him under a handicap and 10 give the larger farmer an advantage over him iE competition If these tRo things are allowed 10 operate. the big farmer will beat him in competition and force him down 10 lower stand ard of living and possibly te exunc- ton
 One thing which would tend tn that direction is a large supply of cheap labor, The small farmer now has an advantage because Of the difficulty which the big farmer has in getting help. So great Is this difficulty that many of the bonanza farmers are giy- ing up the fight and selling out to small farmers If we can keen COZ ditions such that the capitalisuc farmer has great difficulty in getting help. the small farmer will continue to beat him in competition. and the bonanza farm will continue 10 give way to the one-family farm
 One thing which threatens the pros perity and even the existence of the small farmer is the handicap under which he finds himself in buying and selling The big farmer who can buy and sell in large quantities and also employ expert talent in buying and selling. and in securing credit. has an advantage over the small farmer who must buy and sell in small quantities and give his time and attention to the growing Of crops rather than 10 sell ing them Much Of the supposed economy of large=scale production even in merchandising and manu- taetaring. is found. upon examination, 10 consist wholly in an advantage in bargaining is. in buying and selling When it comes to the work Of growing farm crops. as distinct from selling them and buying raw materials the one-family farm Is the most efficient unit that has yet been found
 But the big farmer can beat the in- dividual small farmer in buying and selling It would seem desirable. from the standpoint of national eff eiency, 10 preserve the small farm as the productive unit, but 10 organize a number of small farms into larger units for buying and selling Thus We should have the most efficient units both in producing and in buying and selling

Farmers Educational Tn and Co-Operative
 III Union of America

Many a golden opportunity becomes pewter reality.
 Paying cash increases the purchas- ing power Of the dollar
 There is a big difference between economy and stinginess
 The man who is downed by one crop failure has no place on the farm
 The telephone cannot take the place of hired man. but 1t helps wonder fully
 Drop pennies in the savings bank of economy. and take out dollars in the future.
 As heaven is a place of eternal rest We have every reason to keep stepping while here on earth.
 Pay as you go. Sooner or later a man learns that if he does not pay one way, he has to pay in another.
 The farmer succeeds best who feeds the crops he grows on his farm in- stead of hauling them away.
 The highest duty of state and fed eral governments is to place agricul- tural education within the reach of all
 The farmer cannot be helped until he organizes. and the government can best help the farmer through organiza- ton
 Money intelligently spent for i'm. provements on the farm is only a loan to the farm that It will repay with compound interest
 It is about as profitable to try 10 do two things at once as 1t is to try to raise two crops on the same piece Of ground at the same time
 A slack hand shows weakness. and the tight hand strength There is no surer test of business integrity than a we'll balanced expenditure
 The farmer who pays cash for all he buys does not need to balance his ledger at the end of every three months to know how he stands in a financial way.

SOUTH TAUGHT GOOD LESSON
Diversifcation of Crops Is Royal Road to Higher Prices for Cotton
 Acreage Is Reduced.

The South has had a terrible time in the last eight months, worse than it would confess, But the hardship has taught one lesson that the South needed, and nothing short of prostra- tion in cotton prices could teach it, says Dry Farm Bulletin. The South is reducing it's cotton acreage. It should have been reduced long ago And now that 1t has been reduced 1t should be kept down. And there is only one royal road to this devoutly- to- be-vished consummation, and that is diversifcation of crops. The day of diversifcation in the South not only means a higher price for cotton but a new era of prosperity all along the line
