Where Vermont Scored.
(Kansas City Star.o

(Kansas City Starr
A gentleman from Vermont was
travelling West in Pullman when a
group OF men from Topeka, Kansas,
boarded the train and began to praise
their city to the Vermonter, telling
him Of its wide streets and beautiful
avenues. Finally the Vermonter be-
came tired and said the only thing
that would improve their city would
be to make it a seaport.
The enthusiastic Westerners
laughed at him and asked how they
could make 1t seaport, being so far
from the ocean.
The Vermonter replied that II
would be a very easy task.
"The only thing that you will have
to do" said he, "is to lay two-inch
pipe from your city to the Gulf of
Mexico Then If you fellows can
suck as hard as you can blow you
will have 1t seaport inside half an
hour"

About Flowing Under Green Crops.
Progressive Farmer.)


The turning under of green vege-
table matter will not "sour" the soil.
Weeds, legumes, or other plants may
be turned under without fear of such
injurious action. Crop failures fol-
low the turning under Of green crops,
sometimes, but they also follow
many other practices. When the
crops fail, after a green crop has
been turned under, the failure may
be due to lack Of moisture or a fail
ure to cut up the green material and
mix 1t with the soil, but IL is not due
to "souring' Of the land. The acids
formed by the decay Of 1.-The green
manures unite too quickly with mate
rials In the soil to cause a sour soil
to result from the comparatively slow
decay Of organic matter which takes
place. An error of this sort, which
has been so generally accepted by
farmers for so long a time, is hard to
correct; but we may as we'll shake
off this time-honored fallacy about
the turning under of green crops
souring the land. 1t has done enough
harm already and now that we know
that 1t is very seldom or never true
it should be dismissed and frogotten.

MY BEST SECOND CROP.
o.. a. Mclaughlin, in The Southern
~ Ruralist.)

49, =. NAeA@u6Hiiu, LII Inc southern
Ruralist)
After an experience extending over
several years in planting different
cropsAafter grain, / do not hesitate
to state what has been the most
profitable to me. The most profita-
bic and easiest worked are:
1.&Btg black-eyed white peas.
2.&Brabham or whippoorwill peas.
3.&Sweet potatoes, yellow varie-
ties.
4. Late corn and peas, alternate
rows.
Wheat and oats in this section of
the Middle South generally ripen
and are harvested by May 25th, so
by June 1st our second crops are
usually planted. If the ground is
moist or soft enough, break up with
two-horse plow Immediately after
getting the grain off; then run over
with h disc harrow, cutting up all
trash and stubble. Lay off three-foot
rows with a big scooter and wings.
Now drill in 800 pounds of $50
blood and bone" guano to the acre,
and you are ready to plant three of
the ABOVE crops, namely: white
peas. other kinds of peas, or corn
and peas in alternate rows. Two
good plowings will make these crops
and you will produce more foodstuffs
that fall than you will perhaps have
time to gather.
For sweet potatoes the land Is pre-
pared exactly as above until YOU get
the guano in the drilled row. At this
stage you bed on the guano with
large one-horse turning plows. You
are now ready to set out your potato
slips. Do not wait for it to rain, as
1t Is better to plant in reasonably dry
weather. If the ground Is not sufll-
ciently moist let one or two boys or
men follow the plant-setters with
buckets. OF water and put small
quantity in the hole left by the plant
ing stick. Not one plant in a hun
dred Will die, and it pays to take the
time to water them if the soil Is dry.
l am n two-horse farmer, and as a
rule plant annually four acres of my
best land In wheat and five in oats.
When do this l honestly believe
that make my foodstuffs and profit
with less work Oh those nine acres
OF double crops than do on eighteen
acres Of old corn, or twenty acres in
cotton.
OF these four profitable crops men
TONED all may be produced the same
year, planting one-fourth of the land,
more or less, to each crop, as you
choose.
Some farmers may prefer to plant
Irish potatoes, sofa beans, or SOW sor-
giMmN and peas broadcast for hay af-
ter grain. have made complete
failures of the first two on account
of bugs and dry weather in the fall,
and gathered but little more than the
seed l planted. Sorghum and peas
make fairly profitable crop, as
rule; but they greatly exhaust the
land for several years afterwards,
and are not remunerative for feed
stuffs as the four crops / have men,

ON TO THE COLLEGES.
Bishop Warren "A. Gambler Sounds u
Note Of Warning on Conditions.
(Bishop w. A. Gambler. }

\oAohop w. "a. SohoiOi.J
Our country has entered upon a
war with one Of the strongest pow
ers in Europe. In order that it may
bear we'll its part in this conflict for
human rights and freedom, multi
tude Of our best and most brilliant
young men will be called to the col
ors; and when they enter the army
their school days will end, whether
they do or do not survive the dis
eases Of the camp and the dangers Of
the field. This is scarcely less than
a calamity to the nation.
But a greater calamity will befall
us If we allow the youth who are not
of age for the army to be uneducat-
ed. AS many as possible of these
must be seEt to our colleges and uni
vcrsities this fall, or we shall suffer
disastrous consequences in the years
at hand.
The leadership of mankind will
come to the United States, if indeed,
1T has not already come to our coun-
try. This leadership involves grave
responsibilities in this time of war.
and 1t will involve even more serious
obligations when peace comes.
If we fail to educate the youth
who are Of the age just behind that
of the young men who will 20 to
war, we will not have enough edu-
Gated young men in the country to
meet the responsibilities Of the new
era which will come upon us with the
coming Of peace. The welfare Of our
country, and the welfare of the world
Ill so far as we affect it, will suffer if
We incur any serious lack Of educated
men.
Ihe South must bear its part in the
period Of great opportunity and obli-
cation which is at hand: but the
South is not now prepared to do so.
Our colleges and universities must be
speedily made stronger, if we are to
40 what we ought. Both contribu-
lions and patronage must be directed
10 our institutions of learning this
year rs never before.
Let no parent or guardian enter
tain for moment the thought that
the conditions which confront us
justify the keeping out Of college
TINS fall any youth who is prepared
10 enter upon collegiate course. If
sacrifices are necessary in order to
send to college the young men who
VIII be left to us, then the sacrifices
must be made cheerfully and will
ingly. 1t is better for us to sacrifice
material Interests and personal COM
forts than to sacrifice the higher,
moral and Intellectual interests in
volVed In the speedy education Of as
many young men as possible.
1t is to be hoped that the pastors
OF our people will consider this su-
premely important matter, and bring
1t to the attention of parents and
guardians without delay. 1t would
be nothing less than unfaithfulness
to the solemn responsibilities of the
pastoral office for any man to neglect
this duty at the present crisis in the
history OF our church and our conn
try.

A9Good Statement

The State Bank of Redwood
Falls, in making a statement of
its financial business at the close
of October 18, 1917, shows it's
total amount of deposits to be
1861, ,634.03; the largest amount
the bank has ever had, at one
time, in it's deposit. This is an
exceptional statement for bank
in a small city in. these times
and is indicative of the fact that
in spite of war conditions, taeer
is no financial depression. Sew
eral citizens have stated their
opinion that this is probably the
best single bank statement ever
made in Redwood County. State
ments from other banks will be
made within the next few days
and it will be interesting to note
the total deposit for the county.

not SO fortunate as we were in

streets for the 135th.
Have | told you that we lave
four extra officers attached to
our company? One of these men
Captain Whitehurst was former

months ago. The other three
are second lieutenants. Reif Will
liams and Watkins by name,
men who were commissioned at
the Fort Riley reserve officers
training school. Under the new
plan of organization as we un-
derstand it, a regular company
strength is to be increased to
250 men and six officers. These
officers, however, are reported

porarily, later to be transferred
either to the National Army or
to the National Guard troops of
their home states. The officer
personnel later will consist of
one captain, three first lieuten-
ants and two second lieuteants.
Whether these officers will be
promoted from the companies or
will be appointed from the men
now in training at Fort Shell

ct attached officers will be re-

for speculation. A decision is
