REDUCING THE COST

Those who have been able to rake advantage of every good blowing day in January have been taking effective steps toward reducing the cost of this years crops This is true for several reasons. Early blowing will give plenty of lime for the rains to settle the ground and give a firm seed bed a' planting tme Early blowing distri- butes the work better. giving more work in the early months and less work right at the planting season Thus it is possible to get crops planted more nearly on time. But one of the greatest advantages of early blow ing is that by it we turn under stalks, grass. weeds. or any humus-building material in time for them 10 start rot ting by planting time. To many the effect of each of these advantages may appear negligible. Yet 1t IS fact that each of them contributes directly or indirectly to reducing the cost or making crops The firm seed bed m sures better germination and more rpid growth for the young crop. 6et fling all crops planted in due season usually makes them more certain Ill production. Turning under stalks, grass and weeds in time for rotting to be well started by planting time assures more plant food fo rthe crop and there fore more pounds or more bushels of the crop It lessens somewhat me danger of the interference of the ol stalks in working the new crop. A tbick cron of grass or weeds turned under just before planting time VIII usually prevent the passage oi soi moisture from beyow to the surface layer where the plants are growing If is necessary that such crops p turned under early enough to permit pa rrial decay before the dry weather of summer sets in.
 It certainly can cost no more per acre to blow early. The blowing mas to be done. If esfely blowing at no grea ter cost pc racre produces mort pounds or more bushels of crop per acre. the cost per pound or per bushei is actually reduced. Every day be tween onw and planting time, when the soil is not too wet to blow, shouio he utilized to the fullest extent to help reduce the cost of our next erop.-Ihe Progressive Farmer.

aeouaii s2ace with the hero of one
81 the most remarkable adventures
ever recorded. From a manuscript
left bv his friend he has wildly set
ont the strange happenings which
brought together a brave Virginian
Gentleman and a Princess of Mars.
In the Arizona hills John Carter,
mining prospector and ex-Confed-
crate soldier, fleeing from a war
party of Apaches, takes refuge in
cave the atmosphere of which
has a remarkable effect on him.
A.. Yielding to its influence ne sinks
into unconsciousness, his last
thoughts conferred on the glow from
the planet Mars. Awaking, Carter
realizes that he has, in some in
COMPREHENSIVE manner, been trans
ported to Mars. He is captured by
Tars Tarkas and party of Mar
tan warriors. He is conveyed, a
prisoner, to a Marian city. Three
days later a feet of airships from
the neighboring state of Helium is
attacked by Carriers captors, the
green Martians. One of the air
ships is captured. Among the pris-
oners is a young woman of race
different from the green Martians
and closely resembling the women
OF the earth. Carter ascertains
that the fair prisoners name is
Dejah Thoris, granddaughter of the
jeddak, or ruler, of Helium. Ac-
cording to custom she is doomed to
die by torture. He fights for her
and assures her of his sympathy.
John learns the language and be-
comes a chieftain, though still a
nominal prisoner. Dejah is put in
charge of Sofa, a friendly woman.
The two prisoners plan to escape
before Dejah Thoris is taken be-
fore the supreme ruler of the green
Martians, Tai Hajus. John fights
a sword duel to the death.
