Now there came to me Politician,
and he asked for the Support of the
Pulpit for his Campaign. And he
wore on his Bosom a Very Large
Diamond, like unto Headlight for
Brightness. And as he talked. /
looked at the Diamond. Also i look
ed at his Shirt-front. And behold the
'Shirt-front was Unclean, and SO, /
fear may have been the rest Of the
Shirt.
And l said to him, How much did
that Diamond cost?
And he said, 1t cost Fifteen Hun
dred Dollars.
And / said, Of thy money, or of the
Peoples?
And he said, Whosoever the Money
was, the Diamond is Mine.
And he said, need it in my Bust
ness; it pays to advertise.
And l said, How much doth the
Chinaman charge for the Washing
and the Starching and Ironing of
Shirt?
And he said, Fifteen Cents.
And said, Doth it pay to spend
Fifteen Hundred Dollars of Some
body's Money to Advertise a Dirty
Shirt when for Fifteen Cents thou
mightest have a Clean one? Get
thee home, and either Put on Clean
Shirt, or Take off thy Diamond, and
put it in Safe Place till thou hast
the Price of Clean Shirt. 1t doth
Pay to Advertise if thou Hast the

And he went forth, and he was
wroth. And he inferred that / would

Where crop is turned under for
green manure it is usually best to
plow deep, to use the jointer and the
thing well and deeply buried. If a
ed under through frming Of the soil
after blowing will be beneficial.
In green manuring good judgment
turned under exhaust the soil mois-
ture too completely, for when this
has occurred q new crop starts under
very unfavorable conditions, both be-
cause of lack Of water and immedi-
ately available plant food, for the
soluble salts are used up with the
water by the green manure crop.
In regions and at times where there
is deficiency Of rain, where the soil
Is light and when the amount Of soil
teaching is small it is often desirable
to plow as early in the fall as the
crop has been removed from the
ground in order to save soil moisture
and to enable the nitrates and other
soluble salts to develop in sufficient
quantity for the next season. Where
crops hold the soil moisture low it
may even become necessary in dry
climates to raise one only every other
year because the plant food and the
crop cannot be produced by the avail
able moisture of a single season. But
early following in the fall will often
render the full year unnecessary.
Farm Drainage
Both irrigation and drainage are
usually looked upon as arts whose APP
plication to agriculture are required
only in special cases; but broader
and more helpful conception is that
all fertile fields must be well irrigat-
ed and thoroughly drained.
1t is true that over much the larg-
err portion of the earth's surface the
water required for the growth of
crops is supplied by the natural rain
fall, and when this is timely and suf-
ficient it is the best and ideal irriga-
ton, done by natures hand.
1t is again fortunately true that
most land areas have acquired such
surface features that the excess of
rainfall is OPPORTUNITY removed by
percolation and seepage or surface
flow; and this is natures method of
land drainage.
The fundamental fact is that all
lands must be irrigated or watered
and drained and in special cases ma
lures efforts need to be supplement
ed.
There are several imperative de-
mands for the drainage of farm lands:
l. The removal of the more solu-
Bile salts formed by the decay of rock
and roganic matters, because when
the soil water becomes too strong in
soluble salts it either poisons the
plant or renders the root hairs mac
tive by causing them to shrivel. If
these soluble salts which plants can
not use are not removed the soil
comes into the condition known as
alkali lands, upon which little vegeta-
ton can grow.
