Wheat in Morgan County.

BY r. b. Rankin, County Agent.
Before long MOrgna county will
have another wheat harvest, and if
one may judge the from appearance of
the crop as it stands today, the re-
suits at the thresher are going to be
disappointing. True enough, the sea
son has been somewhat unfavorable,
hut in spite of that the few crops
which have been carefully seeded Oh
suitable land well prepared, will
yield well. Perhaps no staple farm
crop is more exacting in its plant food
and seed bed requirements than wheat,
The chief factors which limit wheat
production in this country are 0
poor variety of seed, (2) poor pre-
paration OF seed bed, (3) lack of

To this question 1 would say abb

IL is = protection for our future
generations, without which we
would be dropping back into the
middle ages. instead of proceeding
into higher civilization. IL is true
there are many marriages OF to-
day that are not successes-and
that 10 why we have divorce laws,
without which a mammoth state Of
immortality would exist and the
health OF the nation would detsri-
crate.
IL is natural for every one to
fall In love. therefore II IL most
natural TO marry. Every clean
minded young girl and boy grows
up with the idea that At some time
In their future life, love and .

So many people seem to think that
the trouble Is with marriage. while
the real trouble lies In the fact
that we have so few clean-minded
young folks today. which Is due 10
neglect by their parents. concerning
morality. II each boy and girl ~ero
taught from childhood that to Lom-
NIT an immoral act was indeed
more shameful than murder and
punisha able even as murder, we
would have more marriages that

The young boys of today think
they are not men unless they have
a different girl every night and stay
out until the "weo sma' hours. The
young girls desire to have as much
attention as possible from all the
boys they know. In order to show
of before their girl friends, and. IN
order to get this attention. they re-
sort to calling UP boys OF their ac-
quaintance and dating" them up.
Why. oh, why. should they be so
foolish? They do not realize that
their worth takes a step back in
the minds OF the fellows whom they
call up. This leads to further bold
ness and offtimes mothers would
not know their own daughters,
were they to overhear some Of their
conversations.
Now. to sum II UP: We should
have better training at home for
our young people. boys as well as
girls. thereby creating higher
standard of morality without being

laws. not too rigid and not to lax
Then, last but not least, we will
