truest type,
With courage to do his duty, defend
the Stars and Stripes.
Fold your arms about him, when he
comes to say, goodbye,
Don't let him see the hidden tear, or
hear the heart-break sigh,
Inspire him with courage, born of
true womanhood,
Born to endure and suffer, as only
a woman could
Tell him to avoid temptation, to be
loyal, brave and true.
Always think Of Mother, and willing
to endure.
This, to you brave soldier boys. wher
you hear the stern command
Have courage to go forward, steT
quick and take your stand,
When you hear the cannon roar, ana

liberal use of embroidery on what is
otherwise a severely tailored costume
and of fruit garniture on a comfort
able close-ftting hat are points Of
this costume not to be overlooked.

BARLEY VS.. WHEAT.

National Crop Improvement ServIce.I
Barley at 60c per bushel will profit
ably compete with wheat at S100.
Were it not for the sustaining infu-
ence of the high prices for mailing
barley, it would compete with oats,
but as it is the crop of barley for 1915
brought $122,5OO 100000. The price Of
barley is now s1.2O to $1.50 per bushel,
but taking $130 as basis, the 1916
crop of 1S0,000,OOO bushels, would
bring $234.0O0,000.
Yields of 40 to so bushels of barley
per acre are not uncommon and as
just feed value this means hand
some return to the grower. But in adj
dition to this, there is always the in
centive of raising a good crop Of SUI
perior barley that can be sold for
mating purposes, at advanced prices,
and a good yield of mailing barley
will hold its own with any other crop.

"Dry Farming" Needed Everywhere

National Crop Improvement Servlcel
When we say "dry farming" we i'm
mediately begin to think of the west
ern plains where the rainfall is de-
ficient. We all admit that they should
take unusual pains in conserving their
moisture
Well we ought to be ashamed Of
ourselves in the humid territory.
When comes along a year like this,
we think we are terribly abused and
yet in any of this territory we have
had more rain than Western Kansas
and Nebraska gets any year.
Therefore, let us take dry farming
methods to ourselves. Because, in
some years the rain comes when we
want it, is no excuse for neglecting
conservation of moisture.
What is this dry farming? Let us
take it up with the clubs and make it
an institute subject. Let us get our
best farmers to agree to practice it.
There is no drought year in the corn
belt which does not have more moist
ure than necessary, if conserved, to
raise a crop of corn.
