POSSIBILITIES OF OUR SOIL.

We want to say to the farmers of this community that
no feature of present day education is more potent for
good this country than that being accomplished by
the various agricultural schools and experimental stations
and farms
Twenty years ago the book farmer" was looked upon
visionary by large per cent of our farming popua
ton and is even yet regarded by some though happily
their number is small.
Now the man who ntelgenty studies his soil with a.
view to determining It's needs coming the front as an
authority on matters agricultural And the reason this
so is because his theories have brought fourth fruit in fact
Nothing is more certain than that this country is woe
fully behind in farming efficiency For years farming
experts have been pointing out to the fact that lands
are not producing half not third, of the crops
that bountifu nature intended they should yield One
has only to cite the case of Germany see the full force
of this statement Germany is not as large the state
of Texas yet Germany today is supplying her civil popula-
ton and her vast armies almost entirely from the products
of her own soil.
But Germany and other old world countries have for
years practced intensive farming, system that is only
just beginning to prevail in this country.
Instead of being merely experiment, intensive
farming should be the rule Nothing fully demon
srates the truth of this statement than glance at the
results obtained by the many clubs of the country
From all directions reports from these organizations
where the enormous yield cf 200 bushels and more per
has been attained Not only this but the reports
coming from all sections of the country proof that al
most any of our soil is susceptible to just such improve
ment
Then there is another important feature to these big
yields 1t has been shown that they be produced
at substantial profit and above the cost of preparing
the land for their production Careful records have been
kept of all expenditures and in almost every instance the
proceeds have much than paid the cost of bringing
the soil to its present state Of fertility
If these results be obtained from an acre. or two
three why not from en fifty, hundred acres?
If they can be obtained from patch, why not from
field? Why not from all fields?

Big Financial Leak.

The claim is made by a close
student of the immigration ques-
tion that not less than $50,000,-
600 of the savings of immigrants
are sent from the United States
to Europe each month, and that
the total amount of savings ex-
ported during the two years of
the war is 81, 200. 900, 900. The
authority for these figures says
that this result is due to the con-
slant urging of the "omnipresent
private banker, whose greatest
profits lie in foreign exchange" !"
This is not a condition peculiar to
the war in Europe, for the saw
ings of foreign laborers have
been sent abroad for many years,
although it may be said that in a
large number of cases the money
was used in buying tickets for
members of families who were
unable to reach the hospitable
shores of this country.
Undoubtedly there is great
destitution in many parts of Eu.
rope, and, in consequence increas.
ingly large amounts of money
are being sent home by foreign
laborers in the United States
Perhaps they should be commend
ed rather thag censured for pro
viding for their destitute rela
tives, many of whom have beer
deprived Of all other means o.
support. Nevertheless, the ex
portation of $50,000,000 eacl
month is an enormous drain upor
the resources of this country, ant
if it is to continue any length O
time, the balance of trade in ou
favor will not do us a grea
amount of good, for all the pro
fits, will be returned to Europe
We do not know of any cure. =

Fourth of July" In March.

Fireworks on Independence
day are denied the children and
grown folks of Alaska for the
simple reason that the July nights
are almost as light as the days,
and it does not pay to attempt
pyrotechnic displays if there is
no darkness to show them off by
contrast. Consequently it has
become the custom in many
Alaskan cities, including Fair
banks, to hold a Fourth of July
celebration on March a, when the
nights are still very long. Then
there is abundant opportunity fol-
displaying fireworks of every
variety.

years and for two years connected with the West Lib
erty High and Graded School, He is at present principal
of the Graded School at Caney He is rated of the
best teachers in the county, as evidenced by the fact
that the best positions are always at his command.
Mr.. Whit self-made and selfeducated man in the
strctest sense of the term He obtained his education
under circumstances and in the face of difficulties that
would have broken the spirit of less determined to
succeed He is hard student, profound scholar and
well equipped by experience and training to discharge the
duties of the office to which he aspires.

candidacy due and timely consideration.

Mixing The Sea Give Up Its Ships,

More or less melancholy inter-
est always attaches to a sunken
ship, springing from both practic-
al and sentimental causes. This
interest will add zest to the re-
cital of Brazilian inventors
achievement. His plan for rails
ing sunken vessels, explained a
few weeks ago to the Engineers
Club at Rio de Janeiro, is sim
plicity itself. Any depth of
water in which divers can work
is within the scope of the plan,
which is to attach bags of various
shapes to the wreck, both within
and without, and then initiate
them with air from above. The
expanding bags expel the water
from the vessel, and by its own
buoyancy it rises. Experiments
with the invention are reported
to have been very successful.
The British Channel will afford a
splendid field for its operation
after the war, and such victims
of the U-boats as have not been
shattered beyond repair may be
restored to the fleets of the world.

Good Breeding.

Good sense must in many cases
determine good breeding, because
the same thing that would be
civil at one time and to one per-
son may be quite otherwise at
another time and to another per-
son, but there are some general
rules of good breeding that hold
always true and in all cases. -

Shutting out all cares that bother
For while we are passing along our

Even then can we help each other
For worldly cares will ever press,
And around us will ever gather,
Causing hearts to ache in loneliness
Where it not for one another.
Well just "visit to the top o. the hill,
1t will shut out some care or other
And brighten, Aye! the whole day

Yes many sadness smother.
The rush of life is heartless thing,
And oft forgets the brother,
Human hearts for JOY could never
sing,
Where it not for one another.

Hard sleeps are passed, but unobser-

When the day is done and the night
is on,
They're just closer to one another.
