I'VE RULES FOR SUCCESS
WITH OATS.

Land that yiel,ls.20 bushels Of
horn peracre will ordinarily yield
s5 to 80 bushels oil cats, and the
lbor necessary to produce and
harvest the oats is considerably
ess. Moreover, legume hay or

Nightly handled the cat crop can

WHY CAN'T | GET A J0B7.

The writer passed pool room
the other day Several young
men were at the table. Others
were looking on. There is moth
ing bad about game OF pool.
AT the proper time and in the
proper place it is u fine form OF
reception. Bnt the honr was 10
a. M. a time for work not play
for stirring not loafing. Yet in
Jackson and in most other A.
merican cities one can see the
same scene enacted MANY. times
a group OF young men about q
table several looking on; and
the hour sometime between 8 Al.
N. and 5 p. m. And it is not be
cause they have night jobs.
Most Of them haze no jobs.
We can fancy one Of these
young men saying, as most Of
them say; II amt going 70
work until / land a good job, =
Why, boy, to dig ditches; to
work for dollar a day at dish
washing TO clean cutters, is a
hundred fold more worthwhile
than the "good job" that you
wait for. Because the ssgood
job for which one waits never
comes, You can get out Of life
more than you put into it just as
in your pool game your score is
no higher than the number of
balls you shoot into the pockets.
Idleness IS an enervating pois-
on 1t is injurious 10 the body
the mind and the character.
The body that is unoccupied
becomes weak and flabby. Ii is
the same with mind and charac
ter.
So that even should the "good
job" finally come, you would be
unfit to take it because OF what
idleness has done to your BODY.
and your character.
We know young man who is
waiting on the table in board
ing house to pay for his educat-
ion. He is not waiting for a
good job. He is working for it
and will have it long before the
young men who are playing pool
at 10 a. m. and waiting for the
."good jobn to come to them

September is none to early to
sow in the upper half of the
Cotton Belr, while in the lower
half October and November seed
ings will usually be satisfactory.
Ii winter-killing is feard, use
-one-of three row open-furrow
grain drills advertised in The
Progressive farmer. Open fur
row seeding is excellent insur-
ance against winter killing.
3. Plant rust proof variety.
The Texas Red Rust proof
or some of its strains, such as
Appltr, Culberson and Boncroft,
are the best.
3 Treat seed to prevent smut
next TO rust, smut is one Of oui
most serious enemies to the oa'
crop, and is often responsible foI
greatly reduced yields. The
treatment is inexpensive and
sure; no oat grower should neg
lect it.
4. Plant fair grade of land,
or use fertilizers. While oais
planted in the fall are about
as dependable a crop as we have
it is a mistake TO expect them 70
do their test on extremely thin
land. On such soils an appllca-
tion of 800 pounds per acre OF
acid phosphate at planting time
and 100 pounds of soda in Marcel
will usually be found profitable.
S. Grow legnme crop after
the oats. Because it allows vi
to follow a double cropping sys
tenn, growing cropof lespedeza
cowpeas or soy bean hay aftel
the grain is taken off the oai
crop flts excellentiy into the
standard rotatsons recommended
for the South. But the farmer
who grows oats and does not fol-
low them with a summer legnme
is impoverishing his land, rather
than building it up, and for him
the oat crop is Of very doubtful
proIit.
The five rules here are not
hard to follow and following
them carefully will make oats
one of the best crops we can
grow. Unless they can be follow
ed we doubt the wisdom Of
planting oats at all.--The Pro-

est Commentator.

Meissner, who Is but few years
older than the kaiser, went out to
Turkey as a young engineer shortly
before Wilhelm assembled the throne
and has made one portion or another
or the Ottoman empire his special
field Of endeavor ever since. AS Ger
manys Eastward Hoi policy was
nebulous hope rather than a definite
plan up to the beginning of the pres
ent century. the first decade or SO of
Meissner's work In Turkey was as
unselfish in character as were the Ia
bors OF those distinguished Britons
who have built the railways of Ar
gentina and Peru or reformed the Gus
toms OF China During this period
the foundation of the present railway
system was laid in what was then
Turkey In Europe, and considerable
construction was also carried on in
Asia Minor. How much OF Meissner's
work OF the last fifteen years has
been in direct furtherance Of the
kaiser's far-reaching eastern ambi-
tions 1t would be very difficult to say:
probably, indeed, he has little idea
himself. But however much he has
been made pawn in the game of
Realpolitik, l am confident that there
are very few who have followed his
work of the last thirty years who will
not grant that the handspring of his
personal efforts was a deep and sim

Turkish people. The type is a COM
