 The greatest power is the power of self control. Men may run machinery, operate large business enterprises, sue eessfully manage farms and yet fail utterly in exercising self-control, especially at times when self-control is paramount.
 Fortunate is every one who Healizes his faults and is in con- stant warfare against them. Such it will take to subdue faults and is in constant war fare against them. Such it will take to subdue faults and hab- it's that undermine ones life and character.

{ ! IlItle ROCK, Mar. ZS.--EVerY armer should have clod ,reaker and roller. The clods are nuisance and a hinder ance to young growing crops. Don't plant your seed among clods. Get a clod breaking roll CT or make you a drag. You can make a drag of two inch blanks, split logs or poles, fas- tened together with cross pieces. If you can't do that, then you can cut down some saplings and make you a brush drag, which is better thannoth- ing, and often serves the pur- pose we'll. After your crop is planted, run a roller or drag over it and smooth the ground down and break up the clods. When your cotton or corn comes up run a section harrow diagonally across it, and kill out the small weeds and grass. It wont hurt your cotton if you harrow it the second time diag- onally cross ways of the first narrowing. It will thin out the cotton a good deal, but you will still have enough for a good stand, and it will be com paratively clean when ready for further cultivation. When cotton chopping begins you will find you have good stand and a clean crop. The corn treated by cross harrow ing will be thrifty and clean and you will get a good start on the weeds and grass.
 Look we'll after the manure. Clean out the stables, sheds and lots, and scatter we'll all the manure you can get. If you have some thin spots of land, spread manure there. or plant to peas-or what is still better do both.
 By all means do not plant too much cotton. Cotton is now 2 good price and we hope it will continue that way. Con- centrate your labor on the best land, use manure and fertilizer and try to make d big yield of cotton on 2 small acreage in- stead of planting a big crop Chat you can not maunre, fer tilize or properly work. You will make far more money on ten acres that will make ten bales than you will on twenty acres that will make twelve bales. Remember that the net profit is what counts. Better have ten acres of good, we'll manured cotton land that will make a bale to the acre and let the other ten acres grow up in bermuda or crab grass and cut 1t for hay, than to scatter the same amount of manure over the twenty acres and halfway cultivate it.
 Don't forget the garden. Make a good one and help your wife cultivate it. If you want any advice about how to grow vegetables you can get it from the directions printed on the package. That's where the most of advice on vegetable grow ing comes from anyway.
