LET US FORGET

Today ushers in another week. 1t
also indicates that another month is
rapidly nearing an end. Time never
waits for tide or men. The flight of
days is as swift as the flight of birds.
We have summer with us. The days
are sodorific. The wind of the after
noon, like a simeon blows its burning
breath in our faces and scorches the
skin.
We are prone to be unstrung, cross
and feverish. Our energies become
atrophied. We are not our normal
selves.
But this morning, facing the birth
of new week and the death of a
month, let us forget many things and
be the happier for our forgetting
them.
A good memory for a kindness is a
beautiful thing, but equally beautiful
is poor memory for an evil turn.
The beginning of new day, a new
week or new month is fitting time
to lay down old gruuches, old resent
ments, old mental sores. 1t is an af-
front to the Maker of all things and
to our higher nature to carry debas-
ing thoughts like these into the UNI
tried life that lies before us. We are
entering upon a rev race. Let us go
into it stripped for the running, a
Let US forget. =
Forget the sights, the wounds. the
blows, the bitter ingratitude that have
fallen to as in the days past and gone.
Ii some one has been unkind to Won.
if another has betrayed you, if still
another has maligncd you, YOU can
not rise to higher place than to stand
up IN the pristine dawn of a new
week and say: 81 will forget"
In doing this you triumph over your
own baser nature and you rise super
Tor to your enemy's designs. Such a
person probably intended you to suf-
fer and in remembering, grieve in ST.
lence and sink into the lower levels
of dependency. This would indead
be a victory, but you can so easily rob
your enemy of it when you cease -
bear the grudge in mind. How can
you hate when you no longer retain
resentment in your heart? In van
gushing your own enmity you dis
arm that of your enemy. Hate must
have something to feed upon if it is
to continue to live, and when you no
longer pander to its appetite by an
undisguised memory of its existence,
you starvc it into insignificance. And
more than this: You plant in its
stead the seed of respect that must
blossom into a white flower of faith.
When you have forgotten that your
enemy did or could do mean thing
you unconsciously raise his standard
If himself and inspire him to live up
% it. He becomes better man for
your lapse of memory and certainly
you are better for having cast out
rom your own heart the devil of nag
ying resentment. Therefore, let US

follows:
"The stocxman, after July and as
late as August /, can put portion
of his catch acreage in sorghum
Early Amber being mighty fine. This
/ is standard early maturing variety,
sowing so to 100 pounds to the acre
for hay crop. There are many other
sorghums ranging from Amber to
Kafir, milo, feterita, aid Sudan grass,
Of varying value on Missouri soils.
This is no time to experiment, so it
is unnecessary to discuss new or nov
ell crops.
"New Era cowpeas, in normal sea-
son, mature sufficiently to make most
excellent hay, ranging in value with
clover or alfalfa. Plant from bushel
to bushel and half per acre, de-
pending upon the richness of your
soil.
"Rape stands at the head of the
list as forage crop for hogs, and
can be pastured with sheep if turned
on when wet from dew or rain-and
especially if these animals are hun
CRY. Four to seven pounds of Dwarf
Essex is about the quantity.
Choose between Hungarian and
German millet. Sow Hungarian mil
let later than most of the other catch
crops, with the promise of getting
good hay, which should be cut about
the time the seeds are in soft dough,
for the highest and best quality. Sow
German millet, for both hay and seed.
The seed is a cash crop and can be
shipped like wheat or oats-at the
price millet seed of this variety has
been selling, it is a money-maker.
Overflower land often gives splendid
returns in German millet. Hay crops
lave been sown successfully as late
as the last half of July.
"Buckwheat is not to be 'sneezed
at on lands poisoned with cockleburs,
morning-glories, cottonweeds and
other foul, pestiferous ANNALS. For
a sure smother crop buckwheat ranks
Highland there has always been sale
for the grain. Buckwheat is not near
ly so sure as millet in Missouri, and
on rich land often falls down badly.
tito San, Early Black Dwarf, and
some early varieties of soybeans, have
made splendid crops of hay of the
first quality, rich in feeding value,
planted after July 4th, when frost
came late.
"Late-planted corn, if very early
maturing variety of Northern grown
seed, is on the average Missouri farm
the best emergency crop, combining
the largest number Of chances for
both food for man and feed for ami
mails. If you have a silo, all the bet
ter as to forage. The later the frost
(of course) the better the catch crop
of any sort.
Hickory King, Wisconsin No. Sew
en-, Pride of the North, and Red Nine
ty Day are reliable varieties of IS to
80 day corn. Some of these | have
grown myself and can recommend es-
pccially for very late planting. To
these may be added others. including
Silvermine and Silver King"
Navy beans are attracting many
Missourians. From 20 to 40 pounds
of Michigan seed nayies should be
planted, depending on width of row
and distance between hills. From one
to three acres may be pulled by hand,
and in some seasons beans may be
gathered with sulky rake At the
expected price this year, harvesting
or threshing is the smallest part of
the problem. Planting time is from
June Is to July 15."

NOW is THE TINE TO
FIGHT MALARIA


Malarial fever causes twelve thou
sand deaths in the United States ev-
cry year, but there are more than a
million and a quarter cases of the di-
sease. 1t, therefore, is a great eco
nomic problem. 1t is confined largely
to the Southern States of the Union.
1t is spread entirely by one species
of mosquito, called Anopheles. The
disease is found, then, only where the
Anopheles can breed and flourish. The
mosquito has not a very long range
of fight. Recent experiments of the
Public Health Service of the United
States showed that Anopheles mos
quitoes will fly only about mile from
their breeding place. Other mosqui-
toes taken from houses and liberated
flew trifie more than mile. In one
test Anopheles caught on a given
plantation flew upwards of two-thirds
of mile and during that flight cross
ed river 800 feet wide. These flights
were accomplished in from seventy
two hours up to six days.
Abe prevention of the disease de-
ponds entirely on the control of the
AnUpheles species of mosquito. The
mosquito breeds always in still, fresh
waiter. The water collected in cows
track, an empty can, or broken bottle
is enough to afford breeding place
for mosquitoes. The eggs are laid in
the water and Matched there, form
ing larvae commonly called "wig-
glRrs." The adult mosquito emerg-
rs within a few days. 1t is evident
that if the mosquito cannot find fresh
waiter in which 10 lay its eggs, it can
not multiply. The mosquito does no
harm unless it first bites a person suf-
fering from malaria, from whose
blood 1t sucks the germ, which then
undergoes development in the body of
the mosquito, increasing in number
tremendously. Now when the mos
quito bites well person the germs
are injected and another case of ma
laria develops.
1t is, therefore, most important to
protect persons suffering from malar-
ial fever This is done by having
wire screens in The windows or by
covering the bed with mosquito net
ting. In districts where malaria is
prevalent, the windows shouln be
screened to protect well people as we'll
as the sick.
Another precaution is the burning
of Pyrcthrum, or insect powder, in
the house. The windows must be
closed and the powder burned in the
room, after which the room is kept
closed for several hours. 1t is then
opened and the stupetied and dead mo-
squitoes are swept up and burned. AS
malaria is a disease which flourishes
during the simmer and autumn these
precautions, especially in regard TO
the breeding of mosquito, should be
taken early in the season.

A local merchant was complaining
10 US few days ago that the people
were not buying much and business
was on the bum. "They are buying
just as little as they can get along
with" we replied, ~and are doing by
you just as you have been doing by
your lcccl papers" People buy a
thousand things they need much less
than the merchant needs advertising,
but he thinks if he can wag along
some old way without it, wy. he
doesn't need it. Suppose everybody
cut out everything but that they AC-
TUALLY HAD TO GET. 1t would
be, Goodbye picture show. ice cream
and cold drink parlor, bottling works,
barber shops with shines, shaves and
kaircuts. ALL the auto salesrooms
and garages, half the groceries, three
fourths the dry goods, two-thirds the
clothing, and seven-eigi,ts of the "no
tions" bought, and all the jewelry. 1t
is actually horrible TO contemplate
what would happen commercially if
all would for one week do as a FEW
DO ALL THE TIME--that is. spend
only what they are compelled to
spend, like some Dexter stores and
shops do with the newspapers.--Dex-
ter Statesman.
