The All-Prize Home Subscription
Club has about the same kind Of
experiences that come to every body
who undertakes to do anything. All
really noble or useful efforts begin
In high motives. There never was
anything worth while done in this
world out Of mean or selfish mo-
tivea. All men when they work the
best for themselves feel at the same
time that their work Is good for
others and good for the world. So,
then. this IL the first thing. the mo-
tive, and that is always high in any
first rate enterprise.
Must stick to IL.
But no matter how high the mo-
tive, or unselfish the work, or
strong the purpose. there are al
ways difficulties, always something
to make you work and scheme and
plan, and II you do not stick to 1t
these hard things will defeat you.
A writer once said that stick-to-it-
fveness is almost the whole secret
OF success. And the next thing to
learn Is to watch your failures and
make each failure the stepping
stone to success.
And here Is where so many good
people give up. They cannot under
stand why the world should not
stand with open arms to welcome
every good thing. II you were try
ing to dc a mean or useless or sell
FISH thing there would be some rea-
son in making it hard for you; but
why should not every good under
taking fly like the bird straight to
unqualified and instant success7 NO
body can answer that question. II
is certain that nothing goes for
ward in any such way.
A Little Counsel
There Is nothing more legitimate,
more useful, more needed than the
work the All-Prize Club is doing, and
this Is Just a little counsel for the
members who are just beginning their
soliciting among friends and strang-
ers: first. we want to warn them not
to be surprised II they run up against

PLANT LESS COTTON PROFIT IN PEANUTS
WALTER COLBERT MADE 1928
FROM EIGHT ACRES LAST YEAR.
County Farm Agent Russell Urging
Garter County Residents 10 Plant
Peanuts and Corn in Alternate
Rows Mr. CoIbert's Experience.

Interest in peanut culture is grow
ing all over the county and the indica.
tions point to the fact that there will
be a large increase in acreage this
season. County Farm Agent Carl Rus
sell has been urging the farmers to
plant at least a few acres in peanuts
this season as an experiment and the
result of his effort is gratifying.
Mr.. Russells plan Of planting pea.
nuts and corn in alternate rows is a
feature that appeals to the farmer
who has never grown peanuts but is
willing to take chance, knowing that
at least one Of the crops will be a
success. In speaking of the matter
this morning Mr. Russell said:
The value OF planting corn and pea
nuts in alternate rows has been dem
onstrated time and time again all
over the state. Never do you find a
man who has tried this method OF
producing feed for swine who is not
perfectly satisfied with the returns
from his land He generally says
that land was worth double any 9th
er land on the farm The latest re
port Of this method of feed raising
comes from Walter Colbert of Ard
more.
"On March 90, last year, Mr. Col
bert planted eight acres in corn, leay
ing a distance of seven feet betweeI
the rows. This corn came up anC
was narrowed twice with a section
harrow and on April 10 row of Span
ish peanuts was planted between eacl
row OF corn The crop was cultivated
in about the usual way with no spec
ial care or attention being given it,
About the last Of September, whel
| the peanuts and corn were fairly wei
matured, sixteen pigs, weighing seven
| ty.fiye pounds each, were turaned il
the field along with seven calves
When the field had been eaten out thu
hogs were put in a pen and fed OF
corn for twenty days to harden tn
flesh produced by the peanuts. Dun
ing this time they were fed twent
bushels Of corn.
"Mr. Colbert figures his return
from this field Of eight acres in abou
this manner.
1000 lbs pork at l0c..........$2 $1,000
Pasture for calves for four
months at 81 per head per
This makes a total Of $22S from tn
