One Farmers Method of
 Keeping His Boy at Home

In county of Oklahoma lives fam fly of four members-father, mother, son and daughter-says the Country Gentleman. The son joined the Boys Corn club in 1912, He was encouraged. by his father. The boy got. the best acre on the farm, He. got the, barn. yard manure for fertilizer. Ills father assisted him in getting good seed and advised him with his work, The boy, was permitted to have sufficient time, horses, and machinery to care for his crop as directed by the department of agriculture. The boy grew 1o1 bushels of corn on his one acre the first year..
 Every year since he has been mem Der of the boys clubs. He has always been successful in his work. He has learned the game and has been apply ing the lessons in his. fathers field as well as his own, He has become known throughout Oklahoma as a breeder. of Johnston county white seed corn. His seed corn is in demand at S9 bushel, During the four years that he has been a club member he has won more than S40O worth of prizes. He joined the Pig club and became interested in live stock. He now owns seven head of pure bred Duroc-Jersey hogs, six head of well bred cattle and horse, This stock he has secured from the income he has received from his club work,
 The home Is ideal. The father and son are now as chummy as schoolboys. They work to each others interests. The father calls the boy his partner. The boy feels the responsibility of making the fathers work a success. There Is no thought of this boys leaV. ing home, The city has no attraction for him, He says he wants to learn all he can about agriculture so he can help his folks make home more attractive.

Practice Safety First
 In Crossing Car TrackS

Different drivers have their own ways Of guarding against danger when crossing car tracks, says Farm and Fireside. One experienced car owner gives his views on the subject as fol- lows:
 No hard and fast rule can be laid down, because scarcely any two cross- ings are alike. But there Is one eau ton which always applies; Don't take a chance; find out If there is dan. ger" If you can see a quarter of mile or more up and down the track and no train or traction car is in sight cross the track at q lively rate of speed, anyhow fifteen miles an hour. Some drivers stop too near the track and then try to go over slowly. If train whistles they lose their heads and may kill their engine by putting on too much power. Always have enough momentum to carry you across.
 Another thing: When a clear view of the track in both directions is blocked by buildings or trees, stop your car and have some one get out and look, or if you are alone slow down the motor enough so you can hear an approaching car or train. If no train can be seen or heard then cross with plenty of power but never try to beat train across. Under all circum- stances have your feet ready on the pedals and decide beforehand what you would do in case of danger.
