BENEFITS OF FALL FLOWING
San Antonio Experiment Station Gives Some Timely Suggestions to
 Overcome Root-Rot.

Some timely suggestions may be found in recent reports from the ex- pertinent farm at San Antonio, Tex, with reference to the cropping system to overcome roOt-rot on cotton. The brief report says:
 Tt has been found in the rotation experiments that root-rot is less seri- Ous in cotton grown in rotation with other crops, such as corn or oats, than when the same land is used continu- Ously for cotton production. In fact, there has been little or no root-rot damage on any plants where cotton has been grown on fall-plowed ground. The rotations included corn, sorghum, or oats. Other observations seem to indicate that root-rot in cotton is ap- parently more troublesome in spring plowed land than on fall-plowed land, even when cotton is grown in rotation with corn.
 If further investigation proves the observations that fall blowing re- duces the injury caused by root-rot, then we will have another and very important reason for fall blowing where cotton land is infested with root rot. Enough has already been demon strated, however, to show the advan- tages of fall blowing.

FARM SOILS OF MISSISSIPPI
Bulletin Recently Issued by Expert. ment Station Gives Farmer Val
 uable Information.

Is my farm alfalfa land? What kind of soil is this? Whats in it?
 These are the questions that every land owner finds forcing themselves on him in these days when farming is done more or less by chemical formu- las. These questions and many others are satisfactorily answered in "The Soils of Mississippi" bulletin recent ly published by Dr. w. N. Logan of the geology department of the Mis- sisippi A. and NJ. college.
 This bulletin not only tells how soils are formed by time and the effects of water, freezing, dead plants and ani- mais and other agencies, but shows your county in well prepared map of the soil areas of the state and tells what the contents of the soil are and what crops are adapted to that sec ton.

kept in a poorly lighted. unclean and hy-infested stable, or from a herd which obtains its chief sustenance from a nearby stack of wheat straw. Fortunately such conditions are rapid ly disappearing and in some localities have entirely disappeared.
 Dairyman's Problem.
 Economy of production, however, Is only half of the dairyman's problem. The truly efficient manager of q dairy farm must furnish first-claSs product, then he must go a step further and get price that corresponds to the quality of the article produced. High testing milk should bring higher price than low-testing milk, and it is. not good policy to sell the former at a flat rate per hundred pounds, regard less of quality. High-grade dairy prod ucts should always command a price in accordance with their quality.
 If a dairyman's business is well con- ducted 1t becomes highly interesting and fairly profitable. The successful dairyman drives his business, the busi- ness does not drive him; he does not merely keep cows, but makes the COWS Keep him. Such a dairyman may be expected to manage his farm so that he and his family can get pleasure and profit therefrom.

SATISFACTION IN A PROFITABLE DAIRY

modern dairy farm. If a bull of first class breeding and good individuality costs too much, a number of neighbors may club together and buy a bull of better quality than any one of them alone could afford. In many localities bull associations have been formed to meet just such conditions. Dairying can never become highly profitable un- til the scrub bull is forever banished from our dairy farms. This includes the registered scrub.
 Pleasure or Profit.
 If dairying is to provide either pleas ure or profit, the unprofitable COW must be disposed of. The well-bred, high producer that takes her place must be properly and economically fed and cared for. Cow-testing associations have demonstrated that the feed of the dairy herd can sometimes be se- lected, balanced and distributed among the individual COWS in such a way as to decrease feed costs one-third and at the same time increase milk produc- ton.
 No one should expect to derive either pleasure or profit from scrub herd

 Most people are interested in getting as much enjoyment out of their work as possible, yet comparatively few can devote all their time to pleasure-seek- ing without thought of financial re turn. Some wealthy men have con structed beautiful buildings and placed fine cattle on their country places sim ply for pleasure and with little hope of ultimate profit. As companion picture. the dairy experts of the de pertinent have called attention recent ly to the genuine satisfaction that Is felt by the truly successful dairyman whose well-bred, weli-fed cows are sheltered by a well-built modern dairy barn of moderate price. and whose business pays a fair profit on every in- vested dollar.

 As population increases. land ad- vances in price. and dairying becomes more popular because the increased demand for milk. cream, cheese, butter, and ice cream enables the well-man- aged dairy farm to pay a profit. even ,n high-priced land As Tn any other

Goodby, Old Year. By THEODORE H. soIcE.

The time has come to say goodby, Old Year. for we must part; And 'tis reluctantly we speak
 The word that wrings the heart. For you have been a faithful friend Through all your twelve-month stay. A friend who clung to us by night And walked with us by day. We well remember when you came. A bright and smiling youth, With all the promises of hope
 And all the cheer of truth. We hailed you then with merry shouts, And fondly clasped your hand; With you we started on the road To newer conquests planned. Meath sunny skies we journeyed on Along life's thoroughfare, And you were ever at our side.
 In all our joys to share. Through days of toil and days of rest We always found you near. A loyal friend. companion true.
 With purpose ever clear. When skies were dark. and rough the
 way.
 And grief and trouble came, You through misfortune to us clung, Your friendship ger the same. Through summers heat and winters
 cold.
 Through gladness. doubt and fear. You with us steadfastly remained A loyal friend, Old Year. But now you're sadly aged, old friend, Your hair is white as snow; Your steps, once firm, are faltering. And you desire to go, We cannot keep you 'gainst your will, And so 'tis with sigh We clasp your trembling hand and say ''Gcodby, Old Year, goodby!"

small lawn or cultivating a vege- table garden on the back end of the lot. There are any number of adyan- tages which present themselves in fa- vor of the bungalow. The benefits to the wife and children are even more evident than those to the man of the house."
 Tn external finish the bungalow yields to a number of pleasing effects which. no doubt, have had considerable weight in causing this type of house to come into such popular demand. The atmosphere of home is very easily brought into the design, and almost any of the common building materials may be used to effectively bring out some desired detail of finish. For the man who wishes a thoroughly first class house, there are any number of devices which may be used to give the bungalow distinctive appearance of elegance. In fact, the range of pos abilities extends from the most sim ple design to the most elaborate, with
Tombstone epitaph., 1916-12-31

large pieces of furniture, such as piano or a davenport.
 The dining room is across the hall from the living room. In this room, which is made slightly longer than it is wide-a convenience when the table is extended to accommodate guests all projecting corners are eliminated. The china closet is built into the walls, with its doors flush, thus taking no space in the dining room. Back from this room is the pantry and kitchen. The pantry Is well fitted with cup board, shelves and table, to save steps for the housewife.
 There are two bedrooms, each of which has two windows and a closet. A linen case in the hall is handy to both of these rooms.
 A feature which will be greatly ap- preciated is one which is readily ob- served in the perspective shown here. This bungalow is built well up above grade, so that large basement windows may be utilized to produce in the base ment really usable part of the house.

 be your last. The old year has gone and the new Is before us, The road to the future is open to you, So mingle your voice with the joy swelling chorus And heed to the call of the year that Is new; Away with the thoughts and the words pessimistic. The wrongs of the past and the things that annoy; But substitute action and deeds opti- mistic And anchor yourself in the harbor of joy. The future depends upon striving and trying And doing your best with your own little part The slogan of all should be Doing or Dying Just swing into line with a good run ming start. Forget all things past that are border ed with sadness. Retain only that which is wholesome and sweet; Oh! may the new year be o'erfowing with gIadness- A gladness unstinted. minutely com plete. So keep straight ahead on the new opened highway. The sunshine Is bright and the sky is clear blue; Retrace not the past's narrow, rough ened old byway, But travel the road of the year that Is new.

The Old Year. By JOSH WINK.

We bid goodby to thee, Old Year, But not with sad regret; For long the scars of thy sore wounds Will be upon us yet. A record thine of blood and woe, Of nations in fierce strife, The greater one for world control, The weaker ones, for life. Thou hast kept arms in mems gripped
 hands,
 The tears in women's eyes, The dread in little children's hearts. Death rattles in their cries; Lands hast thou swept of homes and
 crops.
 Where toll contented reigned, Thou hast brought flame to scorch and
 kill.
 With blood the soil hast stained. Across the seas thy direful work Hast planted seeds of hate In fearful deeds and wrath to come To live and germinate. O fateful year, O fatal year! Pass from our shuddering sight. God grant the year which waits its
 birth
 May bless where thou dIdst blight!

Little New Year. By KATHERINE FAITH.

The old. old Year goes out at the door, But the little New Year comes in; And to take the place of the squan-
 dered days
 There's Year just about to begin He's a dear little chap, Is the small
 New Year,
 And deep in his eyes of blue Is the promise of all the joy that life Is holding in store for you. Health's shining there-if you'll cross
 your heart
 To live with wise discretion And then follows Sleep. and then fol-
 lows Play.
 And Love joins the dim procession. And trailing behind are the ghosts of
 the years
 That wait on the Grown-Up Shore, And haunt all the paths of After-a-
 While
 That lead to the Futures door. The New Year stands on his tippy-toes And puts in your two brown hands The reins of his steeds, l CAN and
 I WILL
 To drive through the deep life sands. And hard he stares with his wistful
 eyes,
 Wond'ring if you'll get through And hoping that all of the dreams he's
 dreamed
 Will have the good taste to come
 true.

ary. The finishing material, used in

nary. The finishing materials used in this case are shingles and stucco on the walls of the house and ornamental brick and stucco in the chimney. The method of proportioning the different materials over the walls is distinc- tive. The stucco is applied in wide belt around the house in line with the main floor windows. Beginning at the top of this belt and carried down to the water table, the chimney is finished with stucco. Above the belt orna- mental face brick are used in the chim- ney.
 This chief decorative effect, although very artistic in itself. is greatly aided by the various smaller details of ex- terior finish carried through the de sicl. Because shingles look best for wall finish when they are stained some dark tint, the preferable color scheme for this bungalow would probably be found in the use of dark-stained shingles. gray stucco and pure white trim. The molding used at the junction of the shingles and stucco is carried across the porch, around the chimney and along the top edge of the flower box built under the large front window The decoration of the porch columns, although very simple. is effective. The roof of low-pitch type. is sufficiently elaborate to harIonise with ether parts of the design. On the extended end of the porch a pergola roof is car ried out under the caves of the main roof, and three-column supports are used at each corner.
 The room arrangements afford every convenience that could be desired in a flve-room bungalow. A hall through the center of the house from the front door to the bathroom makes it pos sible to enter any room but the pan try from the outside without going and attic are also reached from this hall.
 The living room is a square room. along the side wall of which a brick fireplace and two bookcases are built. The cased entrance from the hall is near one corner of the room. This Is an advantage from the standpoint of interior decoration, because the cor ner entrance does not break up the wall space where it may be used for pictures and other purposes. The ar engagement of furniture in a living room opposite the fireplace offers a large unobstructed space for some

Prefers Cows to Pios.

The parents of Brooks, age eight, keep a boarding house. By way of ap- preciation of three regular meals a day and a roof that does not leak, Brooks occasionally helps serve the guests. He is a serious child, whose sense of humor is of the English ya- riety, and the guests enjoy teasing him.
 There isn't any milk for you to drink. Mother says it's so scarce she can only serve it at breakfast" Brooks informed the milk toper recently.
 ''Oh, that's all right" the toper re- piled, genially. 'In fact, I'm thinking of buying a COW, anyway. There's only one thing that bothers me"-and he wiEked at his companion across the table. Should I bring the COW with me to mealsY'
 The question was put so seriously that Brooks hastened to his mother for advice.
 In a few minutes he returned beam- ing.
 Mother says of course you must bring 1t to meals. She says she really prefers cows to pigs, and, anyway, you shouldn't let it starve to death."

NEGLECT OF THE PERsIMM0N
Mistaken Idea to Think That Fruit Is Not Edible Until Touched by
 frost-Much Is Lost.

One reason for the neglect of the persimmons as a fruit is the mistaken Idea that 1t is unfit to eat until touched by frost. As a matter of fact much of the best fruit is lost each year, be- cause it ripens and falls to the ground where, not being touched by frost, it Is left to rot.
 Such persimmons as are not edible before frost comes are late variety. and the reason that they pucker the mouth is because they have not yet ripened. In general, the best fruits are those that ripen just before the leaves Gll.

A Poem for the New Year.
By s. E. RISER.

I will start anew this morning with a
 higher, fairer creed; I will cease to stand complaining of
 my ruthless neighbours greed; | will cease to sit repining while my
 duty's call is clear. I will waste no moment whining and
 my heart shall know no fear. I will look sometimes about me for the
 things that merit praise: I will search for hidden beauties that
 elude the grumbler's gaze; I will try to find contentment in the
 paths that l must tread. I will cease to have resentment when
 another moves ahead. will not be swayed by envy when my
 rivals strength is shown; I will not deny his merit, but I'll strive
 to prove my own; I will try to see the beauty spread be-
 fore me, rain or shine I will cease to preach your duty and
 be more concerned with mine.

CAMPH0R TREES IN FLORIDA
Matter Being Studied by Department of Asriculture-Possib to Pro-
 duce Crop Yearly.

The growing of camphor trees in Florida Is being studied by the de- partment of agriculture. The special ists have discovered that instead of being able to take camphor from trees oiIiy once in 50 years, as has been the rule. 1t is possible to produce camphor each year by pruning the leaves from the trees and distilling them.
