Many write us that moving does no
good, but this is not correct. One
moving will not kill out the weed
but repeated mowings will practical
ly do so in two years. One difficulty
In moving as a means of killing the
weed, is that late in the season the
plants make seed when only few
inches high. In fact, seeds may be
made on some plants so low that the
mower will not cut them except on
very smooth land and when the cut
ter-bar of the mower is run as close
to the ground as possible.
A few plants may persist for long
time, but moving is fairly effective

For the man who is farming fol

that these contracts will be fulfilled

In other words, IL these prices are as

bitter Weed in southern Pastures

Bitter weed is troublesome over
large part OF the south. Fifteen
years ago It was not common in many
parts OF the southeast, but II has now
become pretty generally scattered
over the whole south. Cattle eat IL
and apparently thrive on 1t. OF course
more is eaten when the plants are
small and young and other pasture
seems more plentiful in poor pastures
OF on poor land where little else
grows than on good land where pas
tura plants thrive
Besides occupying the land and in
terfering with the growth OF pasture
plants, IL also produces extremely
bitter milk when eaten by milk cows.
In so far as we know, there is no way
OF removing this bitter taste by any
sort OF treatment that can be given
the milk. The bitter taste is also
present In the butter made from the
milk Of cows eating the bitter weed.
Every spring we are asked IL this
troublesome weed can be eradicated.
The plant is an annual. That Is. it
makes seed avery year, the old plants
dying and new ones coming from the
seeds the Following sDrirg. II ali

tive. In fact II Is little IL any NOR

barely make a living and freguentlv
very poor one. The money rewards
OF the farmer may be smaller. but
they are more certain and there are
other compensations. The smaller in
vestments and the lesser risks in
farming are entitled to and receive
smaller rewards when successful, as
the losses are smaller in failures.
Our correspondent says the farmer
receives a limited education. As \
general rule this is true. but this is
not entirely due to lack of oppor.
tunity. A man will not attempt to
pratice medicine without medical
college education, but the average
college education, but the averag q
farmer thinks an agricultural college
education unnecessary, and many Of
them actually think it a waste OF
time, If not actually a disadvantage.
How many boys who expect to arm
think it necessary to go to college or
in any other way learn the facts and
principles underlying agricultural op-
erations? How many parents think
it as necessary that the son who is to
farm should receive as good an agri-
cultural education as the son who is
to be a doctor should receive a medi-
cal education?
The chief difference In the educa
tion received is due to the different
views regarding it's necessity or ad-
vantages. Any farm boy in this coun-
try can get an education if he really
wants it, and he can get an agricul-
tural education easier and at less cost
than he can medical, engineering or
other professional education.
The difference between a COW that
produces $50 pounds of butter i'm
year and one that produces 500
pounds is $50 pounds of dairy knowl-
edge. The one is an uneducated COW
ference between 90 bushels of corn or
$50 pounds Of lint cotton per acre
and 40 bushels of corn or $50 pounds
of lint cotton per acre is 100 per cent
of agricultural knowledge and three
to five years time. The one is an ig-
norant acre or an acre cultivated in
ignorance, while the other is an edu-
Gated acre or one yielding the profits
of agricultural knowledge.
This is a world of wonderfully we'll
balanced compensations. No one sec
ton or business has all the advan-
tages nor any other all the disadvan-
tages.
If conditions were as our CORE
pondent states, there would be no
farmers. We get out of any business
and out of life about what we give
to it. and If the tiller of the soil gets
less for his labor it is pretty certain
that there are other compensations
or he puts less into it,

Feeding Crimson Glover

Owning to the exaggerated ideas
'of many regarding the danger of
feeding crimson clover hay to horses
and mules. much OF the crimson Glow
er cut for hay is cut too early. We
think the danger froEl feeding GRIM
son clover hay has been much exag-
ger.ted. 1t is true that "hair-balls''
som etimes form from feeding GRIM
son clover hay and cause death. 1t
Is also true that these "hair-balls"
also form when no crimson clover
hay is fed and in sections where none
ot it is grown. II Is possible, al
though we think II somewhat doubt
ful. that crimson clover hay causes
more OF this trouble than other
plants. 1t is also thought that this
trouble is less likely to result from
crimson clover hay cut before the
plants have become ripe and woody.
For this reason, some cut ii as soon
as in bloow. We think this caller
than necessary and too early to get
most from the crop. II cut as soon
as the first blossoms begin to turn
brown, or to ripen, we think this ear
ly enough to meet all desirable ends.
and it is reasonably certain that more
feed value will be obtained from the
crop.

DO FARMERS WORK HARDER
AND GET LESS THAN CITY
JEWELLERS?
'itS work Is Hard, Hours Are Long.
and the Rewards Are Often Poor
Farmers Get Out of Their Work
What They Put Into Ii.

reader asks: why is il that
the farmer who produces the neces
stiles OF life tolls the hardest gets
small money compensation and a
limited education, while his city kins-
man who sells the frivolous things
with which the people could do well
witHouD grows rich and has advan-
tages denied the rural dweller?"
Many would be inclined to uues-
tion the accuracy of these statements.
but there is no denying that the av-
erage man who stays on the farm and
also the one who leaves it. at least at
the time he leaves it. think that they
are true.
1t is probably true that the farmer
tolls the hardest" physically. but il
is doubtful il he works longer hours
or his labor is any harder than that
OF the city man. The man who tolls
10 to IA hours day in a store or an
Office where he keeps clean or is able
to wear good clothes is thought to
have the easier job: but is his Job
really easier as judged by its effects
on his health or its influence on the
length OF his days on earth? Can,
didly. we think the city man tolls as
hard as the man in the country.
That the farmer gets less none,
for his labor, that he gets or handles
less money. Is unquestionably true
IL We compare him with the doctor
the lawyer, the merchant or the skill
ed workman In the trades; but does
he put as much into his work Does
he put as much education and capital

Soil Fertility True Reason for Diver
sification

Our agricultural advisers as well
as our farmers seem to have COM
pletely lost sight of the true reason
for diversification and livestock pro-
duction. To produce the food and
feed supplies Of the farm is an econo-
mic necessity which no one seems To
doubt; but this is not enough to build
up or maintain sound agricultural
system. because it is not enough to
build up and maintain soil fertility.
Until we begin teaching diversif,-
cation as necessity for economical
soil building we shall make little
progress toward sound agriculture.
1t is not practicable to economically
maintain soil fertility and grow one
crop year on the land and make
the cotton and food and feed crops
like corn, oats, wheat. potatoes
etc. We must reduce the cotton acre
age because Of the necessity foJ
srowing legume, soil-improving crops
and because more cotton can be pro
duced on less land when this is done

CARRANzA ORDERS
ELECTIONS OCT. 20
Events Expected to Pave His
Way to Presidency.

/ WASHINGTON. d. c. = American
consuls in Mexico have notified the
state department that Carranza has
ordered elections for the Mexican con-
gress to be held on the last Sunday
in the present month.
The elections are to be held on the
basis of the census of 1910 and of the
territorial or congressional divisions
of 1912.
Some officials intimate that no cleo
lions will be possible except in ter
ritories which are safe from the legal
istas and the VilIistas and that as a
consequence the new congress will be
absolutely dominated by Carranza.
These officials expect that when the
congress so elected shall meet in
December events will shape them
selves up rapidly for the election OF
Carranza as president.
