FARM WORK FOR OCTOBER
(Progressive Farmer)


 On the cotton farms of the south the most pressing work during Octo- her is harvesting thecotton as quick lv as possible. Every rain beats out and stains more or less cotton, lower ing the grade and price. Besides autumn gales are always danger ous possibility, and when they hit fuIl force we have known losses to run as high as 50 per cent of the en- tire crop. Better pick out the cotton at once. even if some extra help must be hired to do the work.
 If you are holding cotton and seed for better prices, see to it that loss es from dampness and rotting do not offset any price increase. We have known farmers to hold their cotton with the ground for floor and the sky for a roof, and while the price of good cotton went up, the price of theirs went down, for the simple reason that it routed. Unless we can do better than this, we'd better sell our cotton at once and be done with it.

 While it is too late in the upper south, there is still time in the lower half of the cotton belt to plant crim- son clover.

October should see a big planting of oats all over the cotton belt, except possibly in the extreme north west portion. In the northern half uf the belt September p!antings would have been better, but we would plant in October rather than wait till spring. Cotton belt farmers everywhere should bear in mind that feed is likely to be very high priced next spring, and plant a big oat acreage this fall.
 Speaking of high priced feeds, let us not overlook the need for housing a bumper crop of roughage this fall. Pea, bean and grass hay and corn stover should be saved and stored in abundance. These rough feeds may not always be very nutritious, but they may be used very success fully in wintering idle animals. Pile them up high now and save big feed bills later.

 The severe drouth this spring kill ed lespedeza in many sections, and in consequence the seed supply for next year may be insufficient This prob- ably means high prices for those who do have seed for sale and we urge every lespedeza grower to save all the seed he possibly can There are few better hay and pasture plants than this one, and the demand for seed is sure to be good.

THE "BUND."

Among the different organiza-
tions and factions in Russia
which were largely instrumental
in overthrowing Czarism with it's
corrupt and inefficient bureaucracy
none has probably played a more
important part. than the Jewish
Bund, the socialistic revolutionary
league, representing the Jewish
working classes and proletariat.
The valuable services rendered by
the Bund to the revolutionary
cause are now fully recognized by
the Provisional government of
Russia which accords it adequate
representation and participation
in the Executive Committee of the
Council of Workmen and Soldier
Deputies.
According to a congratulatory
communication sent by the Central
Committee of the Bund to the Jew
ish workmen of America, the aim
of the Bund now is to organize Rus
sian Jewry and to demand for it
the same national recognition and
the same opportunities and priv
leges for developing it's national
culture that is promised by the

A PRACTICAL LITTLE SERMON


The rabbi had been preaching
for about ten minutes when he
noticed a few of the congregation
peacefully nodding and swaying,
evidently unable to keep awake. He
paused a moment and then began
in this wise: Our rabbis of old
have told us that it is our duty to
pattern ourselves after the divine.
to make the attributes of God our
attributes. Even as He is merci-
full, so must we be merciful; even
as He is just, so must we be just;
even as He feeds the hungry,
clothes the naked, buries the dead,
so must we perform all these acts
of charity. Now the Psalmist says:
Behold, He who keepeth Israel doth
not sleep or slumber. Should we not
follow His example and keep awake
at least during the divine service?

THE "MIZRAHI."

THE 'MIZRAHI:.'
The visit paid the Twin Cities
by Rabbi Wolf Gold of Brooklyn,
leader in the ranks of the Mizrahi,
calls attention to the important and
rather difficult work this organiza-
ton is seeking to accomplish. It's
aim is to organize the strictly or
thodox Jews along Zionistic lines
and for the purpose Of greater self
assertion in the councils of present
day Jewry. It would combine Zion
ism with a strictly orthodox pro-
gram. It would also, by unifying
and organizing all orthodox syna-
gogs, call attention to the fact that
the orthodox Jews are after all the
preponderating element in Ameri-
can Jewry. That, however, may
be questioned. Orthodoxy in mod
ern Jewry covers a multitude of
conditions and attitudes. Generally
speaking, all those who don't be-
long to liberal synagog or to a
Jewish socialist circle are called or
thodox. But how many are truly
so?
Disregarding this, we are will
ing to admit that organizing the or
thodox Jews of the country for
more efficient work along all lines,
and for better representation in
the national Jewish councils is a
very important work. Still more
important is it to carry the mes
sage of Zionism to the orthodox
camp, as is most effectively done
by such forceful preachers as Rab-
hi Gold.
The mistake these Mizrahi propa-
gandists are making is, in our
opinion, that they take special
pains to preach orthodoxy to Zion
lists instead of concentrating all
their efforts on presenting the ne
cessity of Zionism to orthodoxy.
That was the one discordant note
that marred the otherwise splen-
did address of the orator. He found
fault with and chided the modern
Zionists for not being strictly or
thodox. We failed to notice any
profound impression produced
thereby on the Zionists present.

present government to all the other
constituent national elements of
the empire. Assuming the stabil-
ity and permanency Of the present
democratic regime, we have no
doubt that this demand will be
granted. In some corner of Rus
STA, probably in the southwest, the
Jews will enjoy a measure of ma
tional autonomy, having their own
cultural centers, cultivating their
own language (Yiddish) and their
own literature.
But what are the possibilities of
a long continued life of this new
creation? That is a question that
the Jews of Russia should ask
themselves. How long will the few
million Jews of Russia, forming
part of the vast Russian empire,
and living in close proximity to
their Russian neighbors, who in
the new democracy and with their
new ideals, will themselves rise to
high plane of culture, be able to re-
sist the influences of their environ
ment which will make for an ever
larger measure of syncretism?
How long can a small minority, en-
joying perfect freedom of move
ment, attachment, and afiliation,
maintain itself as a separate en-
tity and remain culturally unin-
fluenced by the preponderating ma
jority?
We wish it were possible. But
we doubt it. The continued life of
Jewish nation and a Jewish Gull
ture can be assured only in such a
region as Palestine, the goal of
Zionism. A certain degree of iso-
lation from foreign influence is alb
solutely necessary at the begin
ming. Once the national life has at
tanned the necessary maturity and
vigor, foreign influences will no
longer disturb or weaken, but pro-
mote and enhance it. The Zionist
program, therefore, remains the
most rational and best.

The Home Garden. (CODtinuedN

When the planting plan, with the kinds, varieties and approximate amounts of seed is arranged, and not losing sight of the fact that it should
 be located as near the house as possible, provided conditions are favorable, to save the housewife any needless steps to the garden, which is to provide SO much for the table, is decided upon, let us give thought to the land itself
 Most garden soils are a mixture of equal parts of sand and clay
 Vegetables will grow in any good soil, and even in sand if properly treated. Most soils are very much alike in chemical composition, although they look differently, yet their constituents pr elements are the same, silicon, lime, oxygen, iron, potash, aluminium, phosphorus, nitrogen, etc.
 There are three layers or stratas of soil, each playing its own roll in the "home garden. The first top soil, |" which is the first layer of soil, is the one the gardener is most acquainted with. It contains organic matter, leaves, grass, twigs, manure, etc :, that have deoayed, thus giving black color to it. The top soil is about six inches deep in this section, in the west it is found twelve to fifteen feet deep. The second is the ''sub soil" or layer under the top soil, this is generally "gravelly. Below this layer, which extends considerable distance, is hard pan or clay. The first two are what concern us most, but not wholly in our garden. You have noticed the top soil even when not cultivated that there is a blending of sand with it, this was done by the earth worms and ants excavating homes and dump. ing the sand onto the top soil. Worms have their place in the garden as we'll as vegetables. They help the gardener to keep the soil porous, allowing air and moisture to circulate.
 The "home garden' should be of light to medium loam soil If the garden is of heavy clay soil it may be loosened or frightened up by adding I sand or even coal ashes with some ,earse manure. It is better to have 5lIe soil more sand than clay as it is l easier to correct conditions by adding manure.
