a field or so of alfalfa growing on
has farm here are some points for
him to consider and seriously at that.
Think these suggestions over and
talk alfalfa with the farmer who is
growing it and see what he says, and
you will not be satisfied until you
have a fine field growing on your
place.
l. Alfalfa is the greatest legume
forage plant.
2. Alfalfa yields more hay than
other crops Of similar nature.
8. Alfalfa means more profits
to the farmer.
4. Alfalfa grows best on soil
containing plenty of lime.
5. Alfalfa requires deep, fer
tile, thoroughly compacted, well pull
verized and drained seed bed.
6. Alfalfa is probably the most
palatable of all rough feeds.
z. Alfalfa keeps livestock in an
excellent physical condition.
8. All kinds Of livestock relish
alfalfa,
9. Hens lay eggs during the win
ter when they car pick up alfalfa
leaves.
10. When fed with corn, alfalfa
makes a balanced ration.
II. Steers gain weight faster
when alfalfa is in the ration.
IL. Cows produce more milk
when alfalfa forms part of the ra-
ton.
13. Hogs do their best on alfalfa.
IA. Alfalfa can be produced much
cheaper than the same quantity of
protein can be bought in cotton seed
meal or bran.
Is. Alfalfa stimulates the crops
which follow it. .
16. Alfalfa increases the value of
the farm.
II. Alfalfa attarcts buyers and
indicates a fertile sweet soil in good
tilth for it cannot grow on infertile,
sour, poorly drained soil.

keting of what he produces and the
buying of what he needs to the best
advantage is the other half. The
great reason farmers have been SO
long coming into their own is that
they have, as class, been working
at only half their job. They have
themselves attended to production
and have let someone else attend to
their marketing. It was inevitable
under such system that their work
did not bring them the returns it
should. While is still true, and will
remain true, that man must pro-
duce something to sell before any
system Of marketing can do him any
good, it is also true, and will re-
main true, that the man who devotes
all his energies to production and
leaves the marketing Of his products
to be determined by chances or the
activities Of the people to whom he
sells will never get fair pay for what

RAISING CROPS IS
BUT HALF OUR JOB

One looking over file Of almost
any farm paper of ten or even five
years ago cannot but be impressed
by the improvement in the quality
Of farm papers generally in the last
few years. Farm papers are better
edited, better Illustrated and, we be-
lieve, more practical and helpful
right now than at any time in the
past.
Another thing which no observant
reader can miss is the increased at,
tention that is being given to the
business side of farming-to the
marketing of the things raised as
well as to how to raise things, to the
planning Of the farm as well as to
the methods Of performing farm
work, to the management Of the
farm labor as well as to the ways of
doing farm jobs.
This change, in part through about
by the efforts of the more progress
sive farm papers and in part brought
about by the changing attitude of
the farmers themselves, in plain evi-
dence Of a wholesome change in the
farm viewpoint. Every thinking
farmer knows today that production
is only half his job, that the mar

THE SOUTH AND THE
NEGRO PRIOR TO 1850

Manufacturers Record, Baltimore
Many phases of Southern life be-
fore the war are wholly misunder-|
stood, are unknown by vast major
ity of Northern and Western people.
This is -eminently true as to slav-
cry and the relation between the
whites and blacks before 1860. In a
letter to the Baltimore Sun, Elizabeth
Davisson of Washington gives some
interesting facts asifollows: ( z y
'The protestant churches in the
South before the war were doing
wonderful work for the industrial
and spiritual development Of the
colored race; s4,OO0,OO0 had already
been spent by them for churches
alone and 100000 of the race were
communicates of the different Pro-
! testant denominations at that time.
My father was one of the clergymen
engaged in this work, and he left me
a beautifully engraved silver goblet,
dated 1854, given to him by the col
ored people whom he was instructing
in spiritual things. a.s aa,
"The people in the South who were
engaged at that time in giving ths
negro industrial and religious train
ing believed that they were preparing
him later to 60 back to Africa and
civilize and Christianize his own
continent. .
"From the beginning of the repub-
lie there was feeling throughout the
South favorable to emancipation as
soon as it could be done without dan
ger to all concerned. There were at
one time over 100 abolition societies
in the South; one State alone, Vir-
ginia, had % laws on her statute
books bearing on the subject, and
there were 100000 emancipated
slaves in the South before the war
between the States. And if the abo-
lition propaganda in the North had
not aroused opposition by its unjust
misrepresentations and denunciations
of shareholders, the border States
would have brought complete elnanci-
patton about several years before
the war commenced.
GAS it is, the freeing of the ne
gro, as war measure by Mr.. Lin
coin, with the expressed purpose Of
creating a servile insurrection be-
hind the Confederate lines, though it
failed of its immediate purpose-that
is, creating a servile insurrection on
account of the friendly relations that
existed at that time between the two
races-has estranged the negro from
his best friends and resulted disas-
trously for both races.

One way to make country life
more attractive is to beautify the
farm both indoors and out. Flow
ers and shrubs, pictures, books, mag
azines and musical instruments all
help.

Modern Accounting Systems
For Marketing Organizations
Lack Methods Often
tials for Proper Record Keeping Saving Office
Devices Good Investment for Average Organization

One OF the outstanding weaknesses
OF marketing organizations is the
almost entire lack of -up-to-date bust
ness methods. According to the Blu
reau OF Markets, United States De
partment of Agriculture, which has
made an extensive study OF the sub
ject, large number of failures in the
cooperative field have been traced
directly or indirectly to lack of
proper accounting systems. Other in
vestigations indicate that this Difficult
ty exists to no less an extent in non
cooperative enterprises.
1t is the desire of the bureau to
make the results of these investiga-
tons available to homeopathic en-
terprises and not confine it's activi-
ties solely to assisting cooperative
concerns. However, due to the insis-
tent demand for assistance and advice
from cooperative organizations. and
the lack of such demand from the
noncooperative field, a. large portion
Of the work has of necessity been con-
fined to the former class of organiza-
ton.
An essential of cooperative bust
ness effort is that every participant
obtain an equitable share of profits
without proper accounting there is
no guarantee that this object is at
tanned. With up-to-date bookkeep
ing none can point the finger of sus-
picion or doubt. Good accounting
promotes economy and breeds conf
dence.

The Financial Outlook
Novel Sort of Prospery-Flng Up the Hole the Worlds
Needs-Why Exports Big

The rising tide Of industrial pros
perity in the United States. now
clearly evident, is based for the most
part on the world wide shortage of
goods for immediate consumption.
This distinguishes the present up
ward movement quite sharply from
similar periods Of expansion in the
past. since these have nearly always
been primarily based upon the de
mand arising from new construc-
ton.
The natural state OF things is that
goods enough are produced to sup
ply the consumptive wants of the
people and a surplus is left over
which can be applied to the support
of the workers who are building
something for the future-new rail
roads, factories, mines, hydro-elec
trio plants. drainage of swamp
lands, irrigation, etc.
Needs Left by War.
The war overturned this normal
condition. We not only had 10 post
pone new enterprises not directly
necessary for the war. but our sup
plies of ordinary goods for imme-
date consumption were consider
ably reduced
II is this gap in our supplies which
now has TO be filled. Stocks Of al
most all kinds Of goods on hand are
