THE LAND OF DREAMS COME TRUE


There's a beautiful land that I've heard
OF. my dears.
And I'm sure you've heard Of too;
Now the name Of this land that Is
known by all
Is the Land of Dreams Come True.
Here fountains sparkle and play all
day,
And the flowers are. oh! so sweet:
Here the poor are given something to
wear,
And the hungry something to eat
Here In castles grand and tall
The music plays all day.
But alas! the road to this pleasant
place
Is as dark as night all the way.
But you know. my friends,
I've come to learn that wherever you
may go,
II It's pleasant place the roads al
ways rough.
Now tell me. do you think so?

Wade's Weekly Letter

Wheat is a profitable crop for Ala
 bama farmers under present condition.
 It win yield from 10 to 30 bushels, vary
 ing according to the fertility of the land
 and favorableness of season. A 10-bushel yield is equal to-33 bushels of oats or 20
 bushels of corn figured on the basis of
 present market value. A 20-bushel yield
 per acre is equal to 66 bushels of oats or
 40 bushels of corn. It is even more profitable than corn, as 1t can be har- vested in time to grow a crop of corn, peas or soy beans on the same land. We should grow wheat, because the demand for wheat in Europe will mako it scarce and high. The car shortage
 may prevent flour being shipping south in sufficient quantity to supply the de-
 mand even at the maximum price. south ern farmers who grow wheat next year
 will be asured of wheat bread, while
 those who do not will find flour very high and difficult to obtain.
 Farmers should grow their own wheat for the sake of the health of themselves
 and their families. Fancy patent flour is made from western wheat, which IS
 often stored in musty elevators TOT
 months, then ground and screened into a starchy dust with all the laxative ele-
 ments removed. It is sometimes shipped
 in filthy box cars to some warehouse and
 stored. It is subjected to ravages of rats,
 reaches and the fumes of any filthy sup stances that may happen to be stored or
 exist in the same storage place. IL IS
 purchased from these dingy, musty places
 and made into biscuits, pies and cakes
 for us to eat. Is it any wonder that we
 suffer from such maladies as constipa-
 ton, indigestion and dyspepsia? The
 DhVgiciAnS
 be cured by eating bran. Who ever
 heard of the Bran Cure'' before the
 south quit growing wheat and went to eating white starch known as patent flour? This Is common sense and not necessarily science or philosophy Many of our aches and pains, patent medicines and doctor bills are the penalty which
 we pay for using white patent flour in- stead of home grown whole wheat bread Every farmer should SOW from two to four acres in wheat. Select good. dry soil that will grow a good crop of corn Flow and harrow the soil until it Is thoroughly pulverized three or four inches deep. Disk or harrow in few loads of stable manure and about 300 pounds of acid phosphate per acre. Drill in one and one-fourth bushels of southern grown wheat of the following varieties: Alabama blue stem, Mediterranean, ,Fultz, Fulcaster or Leap. It will be necessary to treat the wheat for smut by washing it in a solution of one ounce of formalde- hyde to three gallons of water. Let the wheat dry and plant drills east to west if drainage will permit. About April broadcast about 50 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre and a large yield may be expected under favorable seasons.
