Farm Work Outlined for
 Month of May.

From Progressive Farmer:
 Every plant should be given the best possible start. The soil should be thoroughly prepared, firmed, and the ed There should be fine, mellow seedbed before planting and the har row cultivator should be used before and frequently after the seed some up.
 It is a waste of time and labor to plant poor land, and especially poor upland, in corn. No man is ever justi fed in planting poor land in corn except to furnish support for velvet beans. Let us put our poor land in vigorous growing legumes and har- vest profitable feed crops and enrich the soil.
 The cotton must be chopped, the corn and other crops cultivated, the small grains harvested in the Lower South and some crops planted in May and the rush season is on. However, the days are long and if there is lit tie rain, the best regulated farms will be kept in ideal condition. Thorough ly cultivated crop in May and as rule, the battle with General Green" is practically won.
 The results of the experiment sta tions show that rather close spacing of cotton gives the largest yields. single stalk in hills 10 to 15 inches apart has been found to be about right for soils of average fertility
 The large majority of the farmers in the Cotton Belt leave their corn too thick. The rows are usually about three and,a half feet apart and the stalks are left about two feet apart in the drill. This is, of course all right on soil that yields about 40 bushels per acre in normal seasons. The average land planted in corn in the Southwest yields about 20 bushels per acre, and the corn should be thinned to one stalk in hill from three to four feet apart.
 Warm weather is here and all kinds of livestock should have access at all times to plenty of pure water. It is especially important that our blow teams be allowed to drink water five or six times every 24 hours. All blow teams doing hard work Ion hot days should be allowed to drink in the middle of the forenoon and also in the middle of the afternoon.
 Sugar is selling for a high price and every farmer should make say one hundred gallon of the best qual- ity of sorghum syrup this year. Pure sorghum cane syrup is seldom found or more of sorghum right away and buy a simple and inexpensive outfit within the next two or three months to make it into syrup.

Taxing Wood Alcohol.

And now they want to slap high tax upon
wood alcohol and license its sale. That, OF
course, would put it on the same distributive
basis as grain alcohol and actually tend to give
it the same standing, which it is believed.
would be mistake 1t would amount to its
recognition as beverage substitute for grain
alcohol. The psychology is wrong.
Extra taxes and restrictions upon the sale
would also tend to increase the price and to
make the use of wood or denatured alcohol
prohbitive in many ways where it is now ex-
ceedingly valuable The price to commercial
users should be kept as low as possible
1t is all right to require poison labels and
II thought best to specify certain color for
containers, as is now done with gasoline. Per-
haps the United States chemical laboratories
at Washington can figure out method Of
making wood alcohol still more deadly as a
means OF helping to inspire respect for its
qualities II 1t were matter Of common
knowledge that a few drops would be imms-
diately fatal it isn't likely that any sane per-
son would have trouble resisting its allure
ments. If necessary change the name and call
It sudden death" or give 1t some other equally
suggestive title. Don't, in any event. dignity

President Wilson signed the McNary bill
prolonging the life Of the sugar equalization
board for another year, but it isn't likely that
there will be any appreciable effect in keeping
prices down. Last year the Cuban crop was
pooled and it was bought by the United States
and sts allies under an agreement Now the
growers are selling independently and getting
the highest prices that buyers will pay. If
the 0nited States went into the market in Cuba
Il would have to bid against others and the
moro bidders there are the higher prices will
be. The sugar equalization board still has
licensing power over dealers and it can see
that profits are kept down to a reasonable

Ill health il nowadays more gen.
orally recognized as the principle
cause of failure in business life

who looked upon hygiene as neg
ligible matter only a few years ago
are today eager students Of the
subject, for they are beginning to
think that sickness is the one lux
ury which nobody can afford.
Thrift begins with trifles and
leads toward contentment. The diff
ficulty is to begin saving just lit
tie when you have plenty. 1t is &c
much easier to spend the whole
surplus from week to week and
from month to month while things
are coming easy.
Health may be conserved the
same as weauth. But it is hard to
persuade the individual whose
health seems good today to pay
any attention to the conservation
of health. His impulse is to laugh
at doctors and enjoy himself while
joy is to be had. and let tomorrow
take care Of itself. This policy il
based ON the obsolete notion thai
good medicine is bitter. Good med
icine, if folks only knew, is great
fun. There is nothing in the pur-
suit Of hygiene and health that IL
not good fun, il you don't take life
too seriously. The satisfaction
4 thrifty person derives from the con
temptation of his savings is small
compared with that which comes tt
one who by simple exercises, To-
instance, or by intelligent selection
of diet, or by the utilization OF sun
light or fresh air, retains and add

The Red Menace.

II looks Is II the United States at last were
awake to the danger Of revolutionary radical
ism and means to- do something about It. Raids
undertaken during the last "a hours show thai
the department OF Justice has been keeping
pretty close track Of the trend Of events In
anarchistic circles and that it is prepared to
suppress the menace before it gets far enough
along to reach the stage OF action. All 1t needs
is the backing OF public sentiment. In order
to have this It is necessary that the people be
fully informed as to what the reds are aiming
at and how they propose to accomplish their
purposes Seizure of red leaders from time to
time. either deporting or locking them up and
publishing their inaammatory literature ought
to hold the actual danger within reasonable
limits and keep the people alive to the peril
Of. letting such propaganda. circulate without
restraint.
This is no class question. There can be
none in a republic such as this where the pop
ular will always has an opportunity of express
sion at the polls and where there is approxi-
mate equality Of opportunity among men &C
cording to their mental and physical powers.
The radicals are proposing nothing more than
| an overturning Of society. with substitution
| OF brute force for intelligence and temporary
autocratic rule by those whose want Of capac-
| itv has kept them from places Of power in the
! past.
| That the regime they propose would be
short lived is as certain as that scum rises or
| water always seeks the lowest level. A care
| full reading Of red literature will make the
entire matter clear to- any intelligent mind
! Nothing proposed is even passable substi-
tute for what we now have and the attempt to
make short cuts to political perfection could
only result in a loss much Of that which we
have gained by generations Of patient effort.
For the present the radicals must be Wig
orously dealt with, even at the risk Of justify
ing some of their indictments against arbitrary
authority. The line must be sharply drawn be-
tween that in politics which is destructive ani
that which tends to bring about progress
through established channels.
