Making Preparations
For Next Years Crop:

IOI lN6AI GdI > SIOos .
There is no guarantee in any
country on top of ground of the
kind of season that IS going to
be had next year," but with a
thirty years" experience with
this country there is guarantee
that crops here-such as are
grown. are as dependable as they
are anywhere else.
In the rain belt there are two
extremes of weather-very wet
and very dry, and in either of
these a total failure is possible,
although rarely experienced.
In what is known as the dry
belt there are alse two extremes
very wet and very dry, only
here the very wet is a good sea-
son for crops, and only in the
very dry can a failure OF any seri
Gus consequences result.
In all countries farmers have
learned that the injurious effects
of their extreme seasons can be
overcome by systematic methods
of farming, Il large part of which
consists of an adequate early
preparation of the seed bed for
the srrinS planting.
Now that the outlook for next
years broomcorn crop is propi-
cious--as to prices, what has
been learned as a very large
measure of assurance against the
devastating effects of drouth by
the preliminary tillage of the soil
before seeding time should be
put into practice so far as possi-
hle.
The shortage of the fodder
crop this year is handicap on
this preliminary work no doubt
by a great many of our people,
as it will also be a great handi-
cap on their farming operations
proper from seeding time to har-
vest.
No man can perform the i'm
possible. This article is for the
purpose of showing the necessity
of making the most of next
years opportunity-for those
who can.
The first move of the man who
can is to list his ground now to
catch the winters drift of snow.
Even if it is a comparatively dry
winter, you will find that fall list
ed ground will sink great deal
of moisture in the ground before
spring time.
Both those who are able to do
this and thnse who are net,
should in the early spring stir
rhe surface of their crop-land
either with a disk harrow or by
listing.
This is one of the cultural
methods that it has been found
by experience will very largely
and sometimes effectively over
come the effects of n dry season
and our farmers should make
the most of it.
The opportunities for the
farmers of Bac. county to next
year get onto the highway of in
dependence should he made use
of to the fullest. The prize is
anywhere from $500 to S5, 1000
depending on the unit power o
the farmers equipment; and tina
is a prize to call for the best IL
the shop.
! Next year, instead of erea
numbers of our farmers "goinf
pack to harvest" the eastern pa
pprs, along with our own, shoult
carry an ad. calling for help t.
harvest our owL. crops.

TWO+M|LE WOOD TRACK

Philadelphia Course Will Be One of

States.

The two mile wood track for automobile
races at Warminster. just north of Phiia-

| according to late reports. and when COM
pleted will be one of the fastest ovals
in the United States. Proflting by the
experience Of the tracks which already
| exist in this country. the architects have
so designed the Philadelphia motor speed
way that it will not only combine or i'm
prove upon their best features. but will
eliminate whatever faults they possess.
Tho wood construction employed. 1t is
said, will afford an ideal running or rae
ing surface. on a foundation that will not
buckle or settle.
A large number Of Washington motor
lists and automobile dealers are interested
financially in the Quaker City track and
expect to make runs up there during the
next few months. When the first race is
held, on October 7, there will be a special
motor run from the National Capital
The grandstands will be of substantial
and modern type and have been designed
to eliminate, as far as possible. all OBJ
