For Specific Use.

When the Irish Volunteers were
ordered to give up their arms, a
Limerick man was making his
way to the town hall to give up
his rifle to the military authori-
ties. He was determined to put
it out of action before handing it
in, so he hit it a tremendous
whack against a convenient lamp
post and completely bent the bar
rel. Then he walked in and hand
ed his rifle to an officer, who was
rather surprised, and asked:
What kind of a rifle is that,

"Oh," replied the Volunteer,

Strength In Organization.

The high cost of paper and the
high cost Of producing a news
paper and jobwork are probably
responsible for the large number
of meetings held in the past
twelve months by various press
associations in all parts of the
country. The publishers are be-
ginning to realize that by CO.
operation. united effort and unity
of purpose they can accomplish
more for their mutual good than
they can by individual effort, no
matter how we'll it is directed or
how much energy is spent. #
Every state should have one
or more press associations.
Meetings should be he d at fire.
quent intervals. This hullabaloo
stuff should be omitted. At these
meetings the publishers should
discuss the problems that face
them daily. They should seek
to find a remedy for any trouble
that may arise and should tell
their brother publishers Of any
good scheme that they have sue
cessfully tried.
There are numerous other
things that press associations can
accomplish. The members can
effectively oppose any hostile
legislation. not only through their
news columns, but by direct ap-
peals to their rt presentatives in
Washington. Likewise they can
influence legislation that might
be advantageous to publishers.
Every editor should belong to
a press association and should at
tend as many meetings as
possible. He should go to these
meetings prepared to ask an in
telligent question or to give an
intelligent answer. Facts, condi-
tions and results should be dis
cussed.
Some press associations are
most effective, and others bring
little good to theirmembers. As
soon as all newspaper organiza-
lions develop a high degree of
efficiency many of the problems
chat now annoy publishers will
be solved, and solved salts
factorily. American Press.

One Way For A Farmer To Make
Money.

Ifsomeone would offer a farmer
$100 a day for the next ten or
fifteen days just to sit down at
home and make some simple
sprouting tests with seed corn,
the farmer would jump at it.
And yet, any farmer who grows
corn and who has never selected
by test the seed he plants, can
make that much in that easy way
now.
In Iowa last year Professor P.
G. Holden increased the yield on
800 acres of corn eleven bushels
an acre by simply testing the
seed and planting that which was
most nearly perfect corn. Corn
was grown on the same land the
year before and no change was
made in method of cultivation.
Suppose a farmer increases his
corn yield next summer ten bush.
els to the acre by testing and
selecting his seed corn now if he
plants 100 acres the increase
would be 1000 bushels. Corn is
worth 70 cents a bushel; the
value of the increase would bt
$500. Pretty good pay for a few
hours work extending over 6
few days at this time Of year. =

Colored Cotton Grows.

Cotton colored both brown and
blue was grown in small guam
titles near Admission, Ala, last
summer, according to reports re-
ceived from that locality. SAM
pies of both kinds were boiled
and thoroughly washed but the
colors remained fast. Obviously,
if colored cotton can be grown or
a large scale the dye question ir
this country will be largely solved
without the aid of chemicals. =

Dear SIR
received your letter and was
glad to hear from yoh and often
think of how well enjoyed my
visit back there last winter in
dear old Morgan with good old
time friends. How well l would
enjoy another visit back there
with you all. Well yo'h asked me
how times were here. They are
good. Wheat has reached $1.86
per bushel; corn gong at $i.00;
hay SIS per ton; eggs 35 per doz;
hogs and cattle high as the moon;
horses and mules selling for a
good price; -four $500 per 100
pounds. New oil fields opening
up here; one derrick in one half
mile from the place that l am on
and four or five more in this
county. Striking oil in some
places where they are down deep
enough. One well drilled in the
last 80 day about 40 miles east of
me and got. at a depth of 1900
feet the best oil this side of Penn
sylvania. Some farmers have
been offered $500. just for an
oil and gas lease on 160 acres
and refusedit. Some Companies
had to stop drilling for the want
of men to operate the drills. As
to times here | have never seen
the time but what there was
plenty of money and a man can
get work if he is looking for it,
The lowest wage paid here is
81. 90 per day for ordinary fam
work up to $9.0 90 per day in har.
vest. Some wages run up great
deal higher. Oil rig building is
six and eight dollars a day. The
} prospects are that we will get g
bumper crop and the acreage is
