A PRAYER

Somewhere across the infested sea,
6erving the cause Of liberty,
Dear Lord, is my brave son.
know not how he fares tonight,
But keep him ever In thy sight,
For have but the one!
Thou gavest two to bless my life,
But one fell early in the strife
My first begotten son!
He with his comrades marched away,
And then a message came one day.
Dear Lord, have but one!
Then. while SO sorrowed and bereft,
Though only he to me was left.
1 could not say him nay
Who urged that duty bade him go
His country called, he said, and so
How could | bid him stay?
But. o dear Lord, tits hard to bear.
With not another child to share
The hearth when day is done!
I can but kneel to thee and pray:
Be with him through the hellish fray
And keep thou safe my son!
I know the cause Is good and true
I know that suffering must ensue
Before the fight is won.
Yet bear with me, 0 Lord, this night;
Be thou my solace in my plight
And guard my only son!
Reuben Goldsmith in New York Times.

TWO CROPS ON SAME LAND
Two Yields Now Made Where but One
Grew Before.

Not only two blades of grass can be
made to grow where only one grew
before but two whole crops can be
made to grow where only one has
heretofore been growing in the south
ern part of Oklahoma. This is being
proved by many of the leading farm
ers of Pontotoc county. Where irri-
cation IS practical it is easy enough
to grow potatoes after the corn has
matured or any other Of many crops.
But the drought does not affect an
early spring crop.
2. A. Norris and W. H. Stevens, who
own large farm on Clear Boggy
creek, near Stonewall, this year plant
ed field of ten acres in potatoes and
cotton. The cotton rows were planted
seven feet apart, and the potatoes
dropped in the middle. The potatoes
were harvested, netting thirty-five
bushels to the acre and were sold for
So a bushel
The plowing of the potatoes did not
injure the cotton, but benefited It. That
crop is now growing rapidly and prom
ises to make a bale to the acre.
Mr.. Norris has another farm near
Franks where irrigation can be used.
One field is good for fifty bushels of
corn to the acre. and the corn is al
ready made. Potatoes have been plant
ed between the rows.
Many other farmers are learning that
eight growing months is longer than is
necessary for one crop. Not only rota-
ton from year to year, but rotation in
the season itself is now the rule in this
county.

POTATOES AND TOMATOES.
Grating Process Brings Both on Same
Vine


Scra nton, Pa.-Joseph M. Stephenson,
secretary of the Agriculture Prepared
ness league of this country, which has
been encouraging the farmers here to
plant Increased acreage this year owing
to the war, has succeeded in growing
tomatoes and potatoes on the same vine
Early in the spring Mr.. Stephenson
took five healthy tomato plants and a
like number of potato plants and graft
ed them. The hybrid plants thrived,
and to date thirty fine large ripe to-
matoes have been picked from one Of
the plants, while investigation of the
root of the same plant revealed clus-
ter Of fine potatoes.
Next season Mr.. Stephenson declares
that he will have plants for sale to all
that care to try them, arguing that
double crops OH the same ground are
better than rotation Of crops.
