HE SAVED SEVENTEEN LIVES
Death Claims the Hero Who Inquired, at the End of Ordeal: Did 1 Do
 My Best"

Edward w. Spencer, first student life-sayer at Northwestern university at Evanston, H.. and the hero of the Lady Elgin," died at Burbank, Cal, re- gently after a lingering illness. He was eighty-One years old.
 His death recalls a bit of almost forgotten history. In 1860 the side wheel steamer Lady Elgin cOllided with the schooner Augusta off Wlnet- ka, while bound for Milwaukee. and sank, with the loss of the lives of 295 passengers. Spencer's feat of res cuing r persons was comrnemOrated by the class of 1898. which erected a bronze memorial tablet in the Orring- ton Lunt library at the university June 8, 1908.
 As Spencer sank with exhaustion on completing his final trip through the breakers and the surf, he asked the question inscribed in the tablet, Did I do my best?" His experience left him broken in health, and he went to California to recuperate. He lived there until his death.

PAYS FOR 16O
 ACRES OF LAND
From the Crop of Wheat on 53
 Acres in Western Canada.

This story of paying for your land out of one years crop is fully authen- ticated by a great many farmers in Western Canada.
 And now. all that the farmer makes is velvet and you find him going more extensively into stock raising. for all | authorities agree that in short time there will be demand for live stock, such as even will tax the vast re- sources of Western Canada. They will go into stock raising because of the adaptability of the country to pro- vide food and fodder without feeding grain if necessary. They will go into stock and improve their places. They will install steam and heating plants in fact, many are now doing it. They will have automobiles, in fact in many districts there is not a farmer but has one. They will beautify their homes and erect fine barns until the whole country will be os attractive as many of the counties in the best states in the Union. But we started out to tell you of the farmer who paid for 160 acres of land from the crop of wheat of of 5 acres. The Holden district on the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific does not appear to the ordinary ob- server to be any better than many other districts along that line. and probably isn't. It was in this district that John Larcome. settler. pur- chased in 1915 160 acres of raw prai- rie land. He broke and seeded B acres. His crop turned out well, and he sold the greater portion of 1t for S2,910. His land cost him S16.J0 per acre, or S2,640. So that the crop from the B acres paid for the land and left a balance of over $500, which with part of the crop left over would just pay for the cost of operation. This is not really an unusual case hundreds of other farmers in Alberta and Sas- katchewan having been able to do the same.
 Sales of land are being reported from many districts in Manitoba, Sas- katchewan and Alberta at good prices. And values are yet low, but with the flow of any value that will take place after the war, no doubt they will be considerably increased. The home steads in the Park sections which are to be had actually free are having the attention of good class of set tiers, who want to go into mixed farm ing.-Advertisement.

tFrom the United States Department of
 Agriculture)
 Corn will not grow during cold weather as wheat and oats. Corn planting time is, therefore, a little la ter than the best time for sowing spring wheat or spring oats. However, according to Farmers Bulletin 713, when seed of perfect vitality is used. 1t Is remarkable how early in the spring corn can be planted and result in good stands and good yields. Seed of perfect vitality will often remain in cold or dry soils for several weeks and afterwards germinate and yield well. Irregular stands are sometimes attrib- uted to poor seed. when dry, poorly prepared spots are the cause. Fields are sometimes seen in which the seed germinated promptly in moist spots but did not germlnate in dry spots un- til rains came
 Wait for Warm Soil.
 Where the seasons are long and moisture plentiful, it is customary to wait until the soil is warm before planting. In semiarid regions, how ever. corn should be planted early. With the soil in proper condition 1t Is generally advisable in semiariG re- gions. south as well as north, to plant corn before danger from frost is en- tirely past. Corn planted very early usually makes a slow, tough growth

creased to at least fifty. There should be eggs and poultry for the home table. with sufficient excess for sale. The live stock on the farm should be gradu- ally increased so as to consume the otherwise wasted products and make productive the unproductive and untill- able lands.
 (6) Cotton for the main money crop after the living has been amply pro yided for.
 @ The sale of the surplus products of the garden, the orchard, the poultry. the live stock, and the feed crops to cover the necessary running expenses of the farm. leaving the cotton as the real cash crop.
 The present prices of cotton, says the circular, should not be permitted to tempt any farmer to depart from this program. It is the only safe plan to follow, no matter what the priee of cotton may be.

SAFE FARMING URGED
Food, Feed and Fertility Go to
 Make Up Foundation.
Circular Issued by Department of Ag- riculture Points Out True Value of cotton-money Crop Is
 Last on the List.

Rrom the United States Department of
 Agricuiture)
 Food. feed and fertility are the fOun- dations of safe farming, according to the United States department of asri- culture A circular sent to farmers, bankers and business men in cotton territory by the chief of the office of extension work in the South says: Let us feed the people, feed the live stock, and feed tine soil When We have done these three things, then raise such acreage in money crops as We have the labor to tend"
 The circular points out that the true valne of cotton to the farmer is to great extent the amount of food and feed that il will purchase. The price of cotton has risen. it is true, but so has the retail price of all other farm produce. By growing all cotton" says the author. and exchanging 1t for living. you are simply swapping high-priced product produced by your labor for a high-priced product pro duced by the labor of the other fellow.
  ever. you produce your own food and feed at cost and sell your cotton for the other fellows dollars"
 Safe farming is defined in the cir cular as including these items:
 CD A home garden for every family on the farm, from one-tenth to one fourth acre, well located, well titled, and tended as carefully as any other crop on the farm, planted in rotation to time the vegetable crops so as to have a continual supply for the family table as many days in the year as possible. To this should be added one fourth of an acre of potatoes, either Irish or sweet, or both, to be used as food for the family.
 CD Enough corn on each farm to last the family and the live stock for one year, with little excess for safety. (3) Sufficient oats and other small grain to supplement- the corn as food for one year with certainty. These small grains conserve the soil in win ter and provide summer grazing for live stock.
 (4) Hay and forage crops to supply the live stock on the farm for one year, with a little excess for safety. The legumes, which add fertility to the soil and produce the best hay, should not be forgotten.
 (5) The necessary meat, eggs and milk for the family. The meat should be procured by increased attention to poultry and hogs because of the rapid ity with which these can be produced. Every family should have at least two cows, so that one can be in milk all the time. A sufficient number of brood sows should be kept to produce the pork for the family, with some excess for sale. The average number of poul- try per farm should be gradually in-

Holds sroomeorn Championship.

Oklahoma raises more broomcorn than all of the rest of the United States combined. A shortage of the crop last year in other parts of the nation stimulated the farmers of Ok lahoma to add few acres to the area of 1916. The Lindsay district, in Gar win county, is the favored spot of the state. From that section enough brush" was shipped last year to make 100000 brooms.-Daily Okla hoInan.

Why Black Clothes Are Hot.

Why dark clothing, particularly black. should be hotter in summer than that of a lighter hue. is a question often asked. A thing lighted by white light Is white because it re turns to the eye almost the whole of tbe light that falls upon it. On the contrary, black absorbs the light. As all light Is partly heat. the black gar ment naturally becomes warmer and sbe heat is communicated to the body.

NEGLECT OF POULTRY FLOCK
All Products, Particularly Eggs, Ar High This Year-Good Care
 Is Quite Essential.

It costs considerable to feed flock of fowls this season because of the high price of grain, but 1t does not pay to neglect the poultry on that account. All poultry products, particularly eggs, are high this year. and good care and feeding will make the flock very profitable.

and a month after planting may be smaller and look less promising than that planted later. The early-planted corn ripens first. however, and usually produces the larger or the better crop Because of its slow, tough growth corn planted very early is not so sus. ceptible to frost and drought as corn planted later and growing more rap, idly.
 Injury From Frost.
 In a series of years the gain in ma. ture corn secured from early planting will more than make up for any injury from spring frosts. Excellent corn crops have been produced from plant. ings frozen of or frozen back when the plants were from few inches to foot or more tall. Corn is not often entirely killed by spring frosts, and if some should be injured the loss is much less serious than that from sum mer drought or from fall frost.
 Early-planted corn derives more ben eft from the spring moisture supply becomes well rOtted before summer droughts begin, and may even mature before these droughts become severe.
 Where the growing season is very long and warm, plantings made al about 30-day intervals increase the chances of hitting the season right and raising some good corn.

REMOVING sTUMPs IN FIELD
They Take Up Valuable Room and Make Work in Field Hard-Get
 Them Out of the Way.

If you have stumps in your field that you have been blowing around for years, determine to get them out of the way before spring.
 They make it harder for man and animal working in the field, and take s.D valuable room.

More Pay Asked at Princeton.

Material increases in the salaries of professors at Princeton university are urged in the report of special uni versity committee. According to the report the average salary of the two hundred members of Princeton faculty Is $2,1S0, although full professorship pays at the present time an average of about s3,600. This represents an increase of only about 20 per cent in the past 12 years, whereas, according to the committee. the price of food stuffs and other commodities has dou- bled in price during this period. The highest salary paid a professor at Princeton Is 5000. and the lowest paid half-time assistants salary C e400 per year.
