Have you cut the wheat in the blowing

 The barley, the oats. and the rye, The golden corn and the pearly rice? For the winter days are nigh" We have reaped them all from shore to

 vine,
 And the fruit from the orchard trees? The dew and the scent from the roses and
 thyme,
 In the hives of the honeybees?" The peach and the plum and the apple

 flowers" The wealth of the snowy cotton field And the gift of the sugar cane, The savory and the nourishng root There has nothing been given in vain. ." We have gathered the harvest from
 shore to shore, And the measure is full and brimming
 oer." Then lift up the head with a song! And lift up the hand with a gift! To the ancient Giver of all The spirit in gratitude lift!

Thanksgiving Service Out of Doors

It is not every place on the map where a congregation can assemble out of doors for a Thanksgiving day serv- ice. This happened at San Diego on the last day of November last year. More than 15,000 persons attended on the exposition grounds and every building on the grounds was closed during the hour the services were held. This is the first time this has hap nened since the exposition was opened. Those who assembled under the blue sky to give thanks for the blessings of the past year had an inspiring time, for Rev. Charles Edward Locke of the First Methodist church of Los Angeles was the preacher, and Ellen Beach Yaw sang two solos.

The report that British airmon dropped 1s,oo0 pounds of food on Kut- el=Amara before the garrison surren- dered, inevitably suggests tho Biblical reference to mama from heaven. The notion of the Arabs that mama was a dew deposited on the leaves of shrul,e Is a reminder that the phenomenon
 honey dew on the leaves of the elm is to be found in the United States. It may be observed on hot and dry days in August. The upper surfaces of the leaves becQme vanished with a solu- ble sweet gum which hardens in the sun. The Persians gather a kind of mama from a lesuminous plant by shaking its branches or picking the leaves and beating them gently over a cloth when dry. Throughout Persia and Afghanistan mama is harvested from different trees and shrubs. It is eaten as a sweetmeat and is exported to India. But the mama of com merce, obtained from a small trae known as the mama ash, comes chief. ly from Sicily.

Time to Be With the Old Folks

There is little or no excuse, for the man who has no family ties, not to make journey, no matter how long it is to be with the old folks for Thanksgiving dinner. To many it may be their last opportunity, causing them lifelong regret. for having failed to go. This is the one day in the year that belongs to the old folks. There's nothing so dear to their hearts as the family gathering. Why shouldn't it be? There are not so many Thanks givings in each life. Each year makes one less.-l.aura Jean Libbey.

 Coming from the Halls that later day 1 thought of this remark, of the whole pleasurable scene calling it forth and l wondered at the why and the wherefores of the inequalities. Why the too-much on the one table the bare subsistence on the other? The slothfui warmth, and the dreary cold? The over-brilliant rooms, and the long darkness? Of chiffon bor- dered with fur, and of shivering Jim- mic? Of 'the colonel's lady, and of Julia O'Grady"?
 Who are going to solve it, when Is 1t going to be solved? Nobody, it seems. Never, it seems. But at least once in awhile at this special season and that, a momentary lifting of the cloud may occur-at least for the ehil- dren.

They'll like it; luxuries will help toward that wildness of joy you are working for.

SUCCESS WITH SUDAN GRASS
Affords Hay Crop to Upland Farmer Equal in Value to Alfalfa on Bot
 tomland Farms.

Where other tame grasses cannot be grown Sudan grass can be used suc- cessfully. Although the grass Is pri- marily hay crop, tests from the standpoint of pasture crop have been made by many persons and the results have been promising.
 Sudan grass will add thousands of dollars to the profits every year, since it will afford hay crop to the upland farmer that will mean as much to him as alfalfa does to the bottom-land farmer. Experiments have shown that under normal conditions two crops can be depended upOn The yield is larger than that of millet, being from four to six tons an acre. Horses and cattle are fond of it and will leave almost any kind of roughage for Sudan grass. They clean up heads, blades and stalks.
 Where a seed crop is desired, the best practice seems to be to let the first crop mature for seed and harvest, the second crop for hay. Planting is usually done three weeks later than corn in the same locality. One person reports that form planting June IA he harvested the first crop the last week in August, making six tons to the acre. The second cutting was made October l, and a yield of two tons an acre was obtained. This particular crop was grown on bottom land.

ANGLE OF FLOWING PROBLEM
By Timing Work to Habits of Prevail ing Insects Most of Them Can
 Be Starved Out.

There is an angle of the blowing problem worthy of consideration and which bears on the ''when.' By timing both fall and spring blowing to the habits of the prevailing insects of our fields we can destroy or starve out most of them, while thoughtlessly mak ing our blowing seasons to suit our con venience may actually encourage the multiplication of the insects and cost us dearly in our crop harvest.

 Before the ticks were dipped out these parasites annually killed many cattle with tick fever, steadily sucked out of cattle vast quantities of blood which should have gone to make meat or milk; wasted, therefore, much of the grain and forage fed to cattle; and, finally, prevented the introduc ton of non-immune breeding stock for the improvement of local beef and dairy herds The presence of the tick barred shipments of local cattle from the open competition of the free pens at the packing centers and forced their owners to sell them at a disad- vantage from quarantine pens for i'm mediate slaughter only
 Tick Now Dipped Out of 37e,312
 Square Miles.
 The South since 1906 has succeeded in releasing from quarantine 379312 square miles or over q per cent of the originally quarantined area. Mis- sissippi is the fifth state to be de- clared entirely free, the states of Cali fornia, Kentucky, Missouri and Ten nessee previously having been re- leased. Special credit however, is due to Mississippi because much of the area freed was heavily infested with tick. There remain in the entire South 349, ,250 square miles yet infested and to be cleaned and released from fed eral quarantine. The example of Nils. sissippi, however, it is believed, will serve as a strong incentive to neigh boring states to widen the wedge to the Gulf until the tick is eradicated from the entire South.
 To Make New Record in 1918.
 That this years record will be ex- ceeded in 1918 and that the tick will be banished from the nation by 1921 are strong probabilities. The states of Arkansas and Louisiana, following the example of Mississippi, have passed statewide laws making the eradication of the tick compulsory in every infested county. The legislature of the state of Texas has recognized the Importance of tick eradication, al- though it's laws do not make es'adica- tion compulsory in it's various coun- ties for some time to come. Indica- tions from all the tick-infested states are that in many sections the people have grown thoroughly tired of the toll the tick is taking and patriotical- ly are building dipping vats and mak- ing preparations to free their cattle during the coming year.
