The Simple Lifers,

Every sensible man and woman to-
day is n simple lifer. There are so
many things which are difficult to get,
so many controllers are hemming us
in with prohibitions that we are max
ing our lives simpler and more simple
every day. Curiously enough, the large
majority of us are feeling all the bet
ter for it. We walk where we once
motOred, and the exercise sets the
stagnant blood in our veins running
with fresh vigor. We eat less and d-
gest more. So little have we felt the
deprivation that most of us are de-
claring that for the future it is to be
the simple life forever" There are,
of course, some who struggle in their
absurd vanity to keep the old life alive.
Their time is mainly spent in evading
the orders of the food controller, or in
discovering new sources of eXtrava-
gance. Some day they will realize
their mistake and join the happy army
of simple Iifers." You cannot have
your cake and eat it, Our cake today
is victory in the great war for free
dom, truth and justice. That can only
be ours if we deny ourselves all the
other cakes we once loved so much.
The simple Iifer" is doing his duty
and that is why he is happy. His
is the vision without which, as Solo
mon told us, ''the people PERISH

| WARFARE ON WEED ENEMIES
Rocking Chair Methods Are UnaVail.
ing-Hard Work Is Necessary to
Eradicate Them.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
In sense, farming might be called
a warfare against weeds. Some farm
ers emerge from the struggle victOri-
Gus, while others go down to defeat.
SO powerful are weed enemies in re-
ducing crop yields, while at the same
time multiplying labor, that the farm
er should at every turn strengthen his
position against them. He should bear
these invaders in mind in planning the
crops he will grow and in deciding on
the fields where he will grow these
crops, in choosing the implements he
will use, in buying his seed, and in
many other farm activities. Lack Of
careful planning with reference to
weeds is apparent in nearly every COM
munity. Here n man planted more
corn than he could properly care for.
There a man has left his field in
meadow too many years. Here man
did not thoroughly prepare his land for
alfalfa. There man has seeded
clover that was full of weed seeds. And
for just such causes weeds not only
make serious inroads on the current
crop yields, but at the same time thor
Oughly infest the land and fortify
themselves against future attacks.
Some men do not attack weeds with
enough vigor; they look for rocking
chair methods of work. There is no
royal road to weed control. In the
main, the old doctrine of "hard work
and plenty of it, must be observed, but
unless this work is applied intelligent
ly vast amount of labor may be ex-
pended and but little accomplished be-
yond a temporary abatement Of the
evil.

and She WONDERED
Mrs. BiIItops Really Doubted
Scales Accuracy.
Seemed a Singular Thing Until Elk.
PLANTATION Oawned on the Pair
Who Were Going Through the
Regular Program.

"We keep" said Mr.. BlItops, "a
record Of Mrs. Billtop's weight. There
Is drug store IN our neighbOrhood
which we pass in our daily walks
where they have nice beam scale,
and about once in ten days or two
weeks we stop in there and weigh Mrs.
Bllltops; and then, when we get
home, l set the weight down in the
record
The greatest difference between any
two weights taken so far this year is
two pounds; while the difference be-
tween the first weight and the one just
taken is only three-eighths of a pound.
So you can see her weight is running
very true.
st might seem that all this was
rather a humdrum commonplace per-
formance to go through, but really
there's Il good deal of variety to it.
For instance, In winter, when she
is wearing heavy cloak, we weigh
Mrs. BilltOps with that cloak on. Thus
the first weight we get Is the gross
weight, and then from that we have
to deduct the tare, this being the
weight of the cloak as previously as
certained at home, TO arrive at the net,
which is what we set down in the rec
ord.
80 you see It is not all quite so
simple as it seems; and this spring,
when Mrs. Billtops put on for the first
time her lighter-Height spring coat,
we ran into regular incident.
after weighing her, as usual, with
her coat on, we remembered that we
had forgotten to weigh this coat be-
fore starting out, but this was light
coat that could be easily removed and
handled, ard 50 now Mrs. Billtops
removed her coat and we weighed her
with the coat off. But do you know,
she weighed precisely the same with
her coat off as she did with 1t on.
''NIrs. BilltOps and I looked at each
other in mild amazement; but then at
the same moment we both made the
same discovery. Still standing on the
scale Mrs. Billtops was holding the
coat she had just removed!
Il am not sure that Mrs. BilltOps is
quite as much interested in all this
weighing business as I am, but we
both laughed at that; and really l
should say that taking everything to-
gether we get lot of fun out of weigh.

Arkansas typifies the manner In
which purebred breeding stock is be-

state financed the members. This year

Increased Swine Population.
Demonstrations of the sort are OF
far-reaching importance. The swine
breeders and swine-record associations
bear witness that there is great de-
mand for purebred breeding stock, es-
peclally in the Southern states. The
pigclub members take many purebred
pigs and have been a powerful stimu-
lus in creating demand among the
adults. 1t is interesting to note that

Virginia, and Delaware, reporting in

In some sectioGs of the country the
standing when the United States de-
partment of agriculture began its boys
and girls pig club work.
In such cases the pig-club agents
have practically insisted that only
purebred pigs could be used in the
breeding projects. This necessitated
the importing of registered pigs of both
sexes. The results of the demOnstra-
tons made by members handling these
pigs under instruction from the pig
club leader have caused n great de-
mand for pigs Just like SOnnys." The
club members demonstrations of the
advantages and possibilities of we'll
bred swine when intelligently fed and
managed have caused q great increase
In demand for breeding stock from the
purebred breeders. At first the breed
ers were inclined to be Skeptical, as
they expected the boys to buy regis

then offer purebred scrub pigs at meat
prices-thus destroying the demand
for the breeders pigs. The breeders
We're happily disappointed and are now
lending their support and backing TO
the work. One professor says, "Pig-
club work has created the greatest de-
mand for breeding stock that this state
has ever eynprioncpd"
Demand Registered Pigs.
In some cases the refusal of club
members to accept anything but reg.
istered pigs has induced breeders to
have their herds registered in order
that they might share in the demand
for pigs by club members. A typical
case of the influence the purebred pigs
brought in by pig-club members is
given by a county agent in Arkansas.
When the agent began work there
were two breeders in the county pro-
ducing pigs of sufficient merit to meet
the demands of the club work. In the
first year of his work he had 50 pig
club members. Four of these members
secured registered bears. These bears

Such weeds as wild onion,

cause great annoyance to dairy
men and milk dealers. These
weeds, when eaten by mich
cows, give a very disagreeable
odor and flavor to the milk, and
consequently to all other dairy

weeds in large quantities, the
milk is not marketable. The
