. Congressman Daniel stevens Of
Nebraska is the first man in America
known to have publicly approved the
Government cutting his own profits.
Congressman Stevens, whose Ne
braskaa farm has a yearly yield OF
500, 900 bushels OF wheat, surprised an
audience at the Wilson Normal Com
munity Center at their annual rally
last night by saying that Government
fixed wheat prices had cost him a loss
of $3.50, 900 and that at was perfectly
right"
when the Government reduced the
price OF wheat from 1925 per bushel
TO 50 il took a big slice out OF my
Docketbook, but il did just right" he
declared.
1T did not cost me one cent more

out, and I had no right to raise the
price to the consumer" he confessed.

CLASSIFYING FOE
ALIENS IS PICNIC
FOR JUSTICE DEPT.

The Department OF Justice has
been called upon TO execute decisions
in the registration of male German
enemy aliens which required such an
astute conception OF anthrOpology
and social relations as would have
def1ed the brain OF Darwin.
An application from one alien
showed his record as follows: lie
was born OF Austrian parents while
they were sojourning in Germany.
After moving TO Switzerland. his
father died and his mother married a
Russian before the applicant had
reached his majority, making him
technically a Russian. subject. His
family moved into Russia; HE. stayed
in Switzerland, then moved. 10 France,
and finally come TO America. What is
he?
Another applicant was turned UP in
the Marshall Islands. Missionaries
termed him & wild man. He lived on
an island in the Micronesian group.
The Kaiser established a protcctOrste
over the island; after the war started
England drove the Germans of. and
the man promised allegiance to King
George. He was brought TO America
by missionaries. and the Department
OF Justice held that he need not reg
lister.
The registration forms require nm
ger prints and a photograph of the
alien. To illustrate the extent Of the
roundup, an application was received
from a man who was 400 miles away
from a photographer. though the post
master had reached him. lie said
he would send a photograph as soon
as he "goes to town" Registration
of aliens in Alaska will commence

CHAPLAIN ROPES IN
TOUGH OLD BUTCH
TOLEAD INPRAYER
ny J. W. PEGLER.


: WITH THE AMERICAN EXPEDI-
TIoNARY ARMY. France. Feb. 81
It was one big surprise for everyone
in the machine gun company when
the chaplain at last got Butch into
the church for Sunday services. Butch
is rated pretty hard hombre-hon-
est. efficient and faithful as they
make them. but not very careful about
his language and more than willing
to scrap most anyone any time.
Gave Hin n Spiel.
The chaplain got to him one day as
Butch was splicing some harness for
one OF the mules. His line was about
like this:
'Now Butch, I'm going to ask you
to come to church Sunday morning. l
know you don't want to- but / want
you to come as a favor to me.
'.Tf you were out selling lightning
rods you'd at least expect farmer to
let you put one on his house for a
trial II it wasn't going TO cost him
Anything.
WOW, we've been good friends ever
since came to the regiment, haven't
we, Butch?'
Butch admitted they had been. So
the chaplain pursued his advantage:
Good" he said. Nov I'm dealing
in an article which 1 claim will cure
a lot OF troubles. I'm only asking you
to try one sample-just one"
Wen, Butch was in Church Sunday.
The chaplain had been called away
just before services and a visiting
chaplain occupied the pulpit. The rest
OF the fellows seeing Butch up in
front were glad to have him with
them.
Lead In Prayer.
The visiting chaplain looked out
over the congregation Of freshly
shaved, khaki-clad SammieS for some
one to lead in prayer.
Somehow his eyes fastened on red
haired Butch, sitting only few feet
away.
Tho little congregation OF Sammies
grew tense as they waited for the
chaplain to speak. You could just
feel he was going to call on Butch.
He did.
"wiil this young man kindly lead
US in prayer" he asked.
Butch got UP. Every eye was on
him. Everyone wondered how he'd
make out, being called on like that
the first time he had been to church
in years.
But Butch was equal to the emer-
gercy.
Let us have FIVE minutes OF silent
meditation" said Butch.

WILL PAY FARMERS TO ORGANIZE AND COOPERATE
It Pays to Clear Land

Well-sleared farms are the exception. rather than the rule, in the south Most of the farmers are satisfied to farm around stumps and wait for the stumps to decay That generally means a life time, because resinous pine roots will resist decay for great many years.
 Up to a few years ago I was farming as best I could in the open spaces be- tween stumps. I didn't know of any way to get the stumps out except to dig them out, and that was too hard work demonstrator for a powder company blast out stmps with dynamite After watching his operations for little while bought some dynamite and cleared my land in the same way. Tn spite of my inexperience had no difficulty with the work.
 The land in this region has red clay subsoil. I found. much to my surprise, that the blasting of stumps also broke up this subsoil. so taht the crops raised on it were much better than before the blasting was done. Therefore, am satisfied paid me well. It not only gave me the land where the stumps had stood for the raising of crops, but the crops raised were larger because of the i'm proved soil
 | believe if southern farmers would take these things into consideration, they would no longer claim not to be able to afford the cost of land clearing The work pays for itself in a short time, after which the larger crops are all clear gain

Will Hogs Eat Sudan?

There is no question but rape makes a good hog pasture, In some cases it has given as good results as clover, and clover pasture is second only to alfalfa. Rape can be seeded much earlier than sudan and in that respect has an ad- vantage over the latter.
 Missouri correspondent has asked the question as to whether sudan grass make good hog pasture; that is, will hogs eat sudan as readily as they will rape? Sudan grass is new crop and so far has not been grown extensive ly for hog pasture, still a good many farmers have been growing it for that purpose to certain extent and like it very we'll In fact. we have had a num- Der of reports from farmers who have compared sudan with rape in adjoining fields who claim that hogs prefer sudan to rape According to these ro- ports the sudan grass was kept pas tured down closely while ther ape was not eaten until necessity drove the hogs to eating it. Perhaps this may not be the experience of all who have com pared the two, but it is sufficient evi- dence that sudan grass makes good hog pasture and no one should hesitate to SOW 1t for that purpose. This grass can be more economically grown in rows about 2i inches apart than seeded broadcast principally because this meth cd takes less seed and the total forage produced is as large. because of tho ability of the plant to stool Eight pounds per acre is enough where the TOW method of seeding is followed.

Let Live Stock Help

Much labor can be saved by letting live stock harvest crops instead of har- vesting them by hand. This is especiai- Iy true of the practice of growing pork on forage crops and also of hogging- down corn and other crops. and ot growing and fattening market hogs on the self-feeder. All of these practices are already common on the most suc- cessful hog farms in the corn belt, bus they should be much more generally practiced, in order, first, to save man labor. and, second, to make possible tire use of more legume forage and less corn and other grain in making pork.
 Swine alone, however, cannot consume so large an acreage of the legume crops as is necessary to maintain the soll nitrogen. Beef cattle and sheep are especially fitted to consume these crops with the minimum use of man labor. If legume pacture mixtures make up con- siderable part of the necessary legume area, the man labor requirements for the entire farm may be materially cut down. Ii hogs produced on forage re- quire less corA more corn will be lief! for beef cattle and sheep. Beef cattle, sheep and hogs require relatively little labor. X combination of either beef cat tie or sheep. or both. with hogs would. therefore, be well adapted to the con- sumption of our corn-belt crops and the best utilization of our man labor. Prac- tically all of the corn crop must be consumed by animals. Unless plowei under directly all of the legume cror commonly grown must also be fed to animals. At least a portion of these can be pastured off to good advantage. It IS important to let the live stock do the work as far as possible.

Favors Reduced Acreage

The Memphis (Tenn.) cotton exchange has been placed definitely on record as urging increased production of food- stuffs in the south. with curtailment of the acreage planted in cotton. The present world shortage. with the neces- sity for greater American production, has lent added strength to the argu- ment for reduction of southern cotton acreage. This information was conveyed to the United States food administration in the following telegram:
 sAt meeting of the board of di- rectors of the Memphis cotton exchange, held today, the following was adopted; Realizing that every consideration of duty and patriotism, as well as abso- lute necessity, demands that this coun- try shall increase it's supply of food stuff durig the coming year in order to provide for our own needs as well as of our allies in Europe, and further believing that large crop of cotton at the expense of foodstuffs will be ca lamity to the south, we herewith give our unqualified approval and support to efforts being made to induce larger acreage in foodstuffs in the south and to discourage any increase in the acre. age of cotton

Shall I Grow Everbearers
By B. w. F. THARPE

Considerable difference of opinion now exists regarding the profitaoleness of everbearing strawberries. of which there are now being grown at least a dozen varieties and many more In the process of development
 These strawberries, having longer fruiting season, require morec are, bet ter culture, and generally more favor able conditions than the more common sorts in order to do their best; but when the soil culture. fertility, and mois- sure are kept just right the season through, the everbearers will produce practically as heavy yields from July to the time of killing frost as the aver age crop harvested from spring-fruitins varieties
 Grown under especially favorable con- ditions. from looo to 15oo quarts an acre may be expected in favorable sea- sons from the Progressive variety dur ing the fruiting season of the first year after setting But the early crop the following spring will be small. both In yield and in the size of the berries produced.
 The Superb variety produces less tnan the Progressive the first season altef the plants are set, but the early crop the followinr spring will be fairly heavy and the berries vii be of good market able size. Practically all of the newer eyerbearing varieties resemble either the Progressive or Superb in type oi growth and production.
 Unless the strawberry grower IS pre- pared to give the more intensive cui- tural attention needed. and can devote three months to keeping the everbearers picked and marketed. he had better grow the spring g-fruiting sorts But m some cases, where especially tavoraDie marketing is assured, the eVerpearcrs will furnish larger profits

Corn Flour-Plus Biscuits

You can give up the use of wheat flour and still enjoy hot biscuits for breakfast. Corn flour is the answer. This is new product to most house. z keepers, but it promises to be well known before wheat harvest as the production < of corn flour has increased 800 per cent ! in the last IS months.
 Corn makes beautiful white four de- icate enough for perfect sponge cake, or, what is more to the purpose. fine biscuit flour that browns like French pastry. Corn flour combines we'll with any of the substitute cereals in making hot cakes, mullins or biscuits.

First Live Stock Train

The first special train carrying noth- ing else but live stock was shipped out of Alabama recently, the United States department of agriculture an nounces. The special train left Enter- prise. Ala. It contained 23 carloads of live stock. which sold for slightly more than $70,000, averaging more than $300D per car. Six additional carloads of live stock were ready for shipment in the same county at tho same time.
 A neighboring county in south Ala bama shipped 29 carloads of hogs the week before that and still a third county shipped 29 carloads of hogs about the same time.
 This section of Alabama has been prosperous throughout the boil weevil invasion. because farmers have thrown all their energy into diversification of crops and live stock. Most of the land is planted to corn, velvet beans and peanuts, and the average income per allow and team exceeds that of sections of the state wheer the proportionate acreage of cotton is much lower. As is the case in Mississippi most of the hogs from southern Alabama are shipped comparatively, under plans tn- stituted by the county and agricultural ! agents. who have been active in bring ing about this revolution ii the aSri- culture of this section of the state.
