PUT ONE IDLE ACRE
TO WORK AND BREAK
THE KAIsER'S BACK.

Put One Idle Acre to Work" is
the suggestion of DR.. E. H. Bullock,
State Land Reclamation Commission
err, who, as a practical farmer, points
out how this can be profitably &C
complished by everyone of 'the
800, 900 farmers of Missouri for
1918. He says:
Production and conservation or
farm products is the all-important
question of our present and future
existence as a nation. If we win the
war for liberty for all people we must
save the food already raised and
raise still more in 1913.
How can Missouri accomplish
this? BY each and everyone of the
500, 900 farmers of the * State
retaining one or more acres of
land on the farm which is now idle,
and planting that acre to some food
crop in the spring of 1918! Why
not resolve today to reclaim one idle
acre for next years crop on every
farm?
The largest incorporated drainage
district in Missouri contains $4,000
acres of land, which was reclaimed
at cost of $4.75O,OOO and took ten
years to accomplish.
The farmers of the State can re-
claim 400, 900 acres at little cost and
in time for the 1918 crop.
How? By soil dams in the badly
washed fields. BY grubbing out the
fence rows that have grown up to
brush. BY pulling out the old hedge
rows. BY strengthening the small
creeks and preventing overtiows. BY
hauling out the accumulated manure
and spreading it on some worn-out
land. and by numerous other ways.
One extra acre that is now idle
can be reclaimed by next spring on
500, 900 Missouri farms. !

r. L. Davis-like many of the rest
of us--thinks the days of the rural
school are about numbered. There
is no encouragement for the rural
school any more. The boost is all
for the high school or the Normal
or the University. Time was when
a fellow might work himself up in a
rural school to the point where he
could get a frst-grade certificate,
and he could teach anywhere in the
State. Now he must be a graduate
of the high school, at least 1t looks
like efficiency doesn't count now
days; it's mostly name. Maybe this
is all right and maybe it is not.

Many of the men who went thru
the necessary training in the officers
training camps failed to obtain a
commission. The Adjutant General
of the United States says: Based
on reports from these various camps
1t would seem that nearly every fail.
ure has been due to one glazing
outstanding defect which is summed
up in tho word slouchiness. A
slouchiness of manner, of carriage
of mind and disposition" 1t is cor
rectly remarked that this same
slouchiness has married the work and
defeated the aspirations of many a
man in other than military spheres.
1t offends taste and excites distrust
at the first introduction, and creates
a prejudice which is seldom correct
ed, or even needs to be corrected
1t is an index of carelessness in ev-
erything.

The Message a few days ago. He
has charge of the John x. Brown
farm south of Mexico. Corn on
that place is yielding from 40 to
60 bushels to the acre Mr.. Miller
deals quite extensively in stock
John Scott, north of Martinsburg,
raised over 100 bushels of navy
beans this year on seven acres of
ground. He sold the beans at $40
per bushel.
w. H. Morgan, southeast of Mex
leo, is milking ten "strippers"
but he gets enough cream to make
him able to sell near so pounds of
butter a month. At 40 cts. a lb
that's pretty good money.
A. ]. Tribble, northeast of Contra
liza, in the Rowena neighborhood,
tells the Courier that he now has As
head of calves and 200 hogs on feed
as we'll as 1870 ceres of corn that is
averaging As bushels per acre. Jack
is a bully good fellow and deserves to
prosper. Here's hoping the good
things of life will continue coming
his way.
Sam Carr, on the Audrain-Calla-
way line, raised 10000 bushels of
corn this year. He sells seed corn
every year-gets more orders than
he can flat $500 per bushel. He
plants his corn on ground previously
planted to cowpeas. He finds that
the seed are fuller, healthier looking
and terminate better than corn
grown on any other kind of land.
He doesn't raise all seed corn; get
that point. But he raises corn. You
other farmers, don't let Carr beat
you to it every year, try his same
scheme, to produce the stuff.
Late November or December is
probably the best time for making
grape and currant cuttings. Altho
any time after the leaves fall and be-
fore freezing weather is satisfactory.
Sometimes making the cuttings may
be delayed until spring but under
such conditions there is risk of win
ter injury to the new growth. The
cuttings should be made in the fall
and stored in green sawdust in a cool
place where they win not freeze. If
the sawdust is too wet the cuttings
will mold, and if the temperature is
too high the buds will begin to grow
as soon as the rest period is over,
Planting should be done as soon as
possible in the spring so that the cut
tings may be in the ground before
growth starts
