narrative.
I'VE are not governed by opin-
ion in our conclusion" said he.
81 want to do right whether it is
popular or not"
These words contain an index to
the whole character of Woodrow Will
son. His has always been an open
mind on any subject until he had con-
sidered and weighed the best thought
of the nation in connection with his
own and had adjusted it all to a con-
cl1sion upon the just and rightful
course to persue but once his mind
was made up as to what he should do
all considerations of peronal welfare
or partisan benefit availed absolutely
nothing Being a human being, he
made mistakes, but if we consider the
grave and unprecedented decisions he
had to form we are amply justified in
saying he made fewer errors than
any other man of this century or pos
sibly any other century might have
done.
A certain American statesman of an
earlier day who was an unsuccessful
occasion on three occasions for the
presidency of the United States re-
marked about his defeats: 81 had
rather be right than president" And
this remark has come down the ages
as historic American view. In a
most intimate way, what Woodrow
Wilson said on March 20, 1917, is a
companion piece to the view of Henry
Clay. The latter idealized the moral
conscience of single individual, but
Wilson has established for all time a
moral conscience for all future lead
ers of the greatest free government
since time began.

FROM TEXAS.

Oak Grove, Texas, May Is, 1921.
Editor Progress-:Talk about hard
times. 1t surely is here among the
farmers. We had a very forward
Spring, but it rained so much they
are not through planting yet and
what has been planted looks bad.
Some have quit their crops and are
out after public work. They banked
on forty cent cotton last year and
run in debt, could not pay out and
can not get credit this year and most
of them are in bad fix. Two years
ago everybody had plenty Of money
and they spent it for silk stockings
and SIS shoes and silk dresses and
men had to have silk shirts and SIS
suits of clothing and now some of
them are wearing old overalls that
they had thrown away. | told some
of them that | had seen Just such
times in 1866-7-8 but il would all
come back to a levil and their forty
cent cotton would come down to 10c,
and it is near that now.
Land went up in price--out of all
reason and now it is down near its old
price and some that had good homes
sold them and now they are left with
an old broken down automobile that
they can't sell or even mortgage TO
get supplies to make crop on OF TO
buy gasoline to run the auto.

FINER FARMING
BY H. A. Powers, Co. Agent.

Don't forget to plant some Of that
corn on thin land in wide rows so
that you can plant peas in the mid
dies.
III. Hearn used ditching machine
this week to great advantage. He
saved more than enough money to
pay for one of the jobs he did.
C. w. Brooks made a much appre-
ciated talk to the Henderson county
Farmers Union last Saturday at I'm
ion Cross.
Oscar Alton brought in to US re-
Gently big fine bunch of sweet clo-
yer. He has enough of it to cut some
hay this year.
Forrest fires are destructive and
should be guarded against by every
one. We do not appreciate our for
est resources in this county.
Keep busy with the section harrow.
Study to see how much you can use
it. It is the most efficient machine
that can be used for tiliage if applied
at the proper time.
Did you enjoy the luxury of a
patch of strawberries this year? You
can hardly buy them this year in
Lexington. There is not enough to
supply the local market. II every
farm had an acre we would ship them.
Louis McPeake did late seeding
of red clover. He now has crop that
would leo kgood to any former any
where-nearly ready to cut. 1t is
now time to decide where we shall do
our la.e summer seedlings.
Are you planning a sweet potato
storage house for your own farm or
for your community? You will per-
haps want to grow this crop>for the
market next season. Save the seed
from your home patch and save the
expense of buying next spring.
BY all means spray your grapes
with Bordeau mixture. Ii is not too
late to do something towards the con-
troll of the pests. Fruit will generally
be scarce this year, consequently it
behooees US to save all that we pos
sibly can.
W. T. McCollum believes that ev-
cry farm should have few sheep. He
has nice bunch of lambs that he ex-
poets to put on the market soon.
Now is a good time to start a small
farm flock while the price is low.
They are great animals to clean the
brush out Of pastures and TO consume
short grass.
The Poplar Springs community
started in to do some terracing last |
week. There is no more important |
work for farmers to do on land that |
has tendency to wash. Not only is |
the soil saved but in the dryest times
when rain is badly needed il is re-
tarded and allowed to soak up by the
above means. This will often mean |
more corn per acre.
Bring your cream along and get |
what you can for it. II is not gong |
