The farmers brought in about six
gallons Of cream last Saturday. The
price is low and the amount received
was small. Those who have been sell
ing butter at 40 cents per pound were
disappointed. This proposition is for
the man who cannot get sale for his
butter. You can perhaps remember
when there was little or no sale for
chickens and eggs. You know what il
means. There is much butter being
wasted in Henderson county. This

Alton Wilson uses the section har-
row often. He finds that it pays on
young crops especially. We cannot
use this efficient implement too much.
Low price crops demand that they be
produced cheaply in order that we
may have a chance to make a profit.

Tommie Davis had a small can of
cream. He stated that his wife skim
med this off the milk and secured
quite little butter. Farmers need a
steady income throughout the year.
The amount of his cream check was
small but if multiplied by 50 would
mean no small saving in whole year.

Sudan gross can be planted for sew
eral weeks on well drained land that
is fertile. 1t will grow and will stand
much dry weather. X. A. Nicely, two
years ago sowed it the last Of July
and got one big, fine cutting from it.
The seed is very cheap this year and
we can afford to sow as much as %
pounds per acre.

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

Sam Bird is another farmer that
found that sorghum paid him well
for his work last year. He used to
feed all his livestock and it paid him
well.

Edgar Milan sowed four acres to
soy beans, drilled. He planted row
of peas in the middle. From this he
cut five tons Of fine hay. He seeded
this to rye broadcast last fall and
pastured it during the winter and
spring. He found that his returns
from the small grain pastures paid
him well for the money he spent for
seed and for the work Of sowing it.
We must have better pastures. This
is one method to solve this problem
on your farm. Plan now where you
expect to sow your rye. 1t pays to
look ahead.

Jim Williams has a planter that will
drop a hill Of one kind of seed and a
hill Of another. He used it to put out
soy beans and peas last year. He
found that in this =ay he secured an
extremely large yield Of high quality
hay and perhaps worried the rabbits
some by having the peas among the
soy beans.

why we are interested in seeing Hen

it is not big thing. There are 5000

one tenth of the butter fat goes to
waste on one half of them or even
one tenth of them per week and you
can easily see what it amounts to per

Make Fuss over Your Wife. That's

married man comes home tired out and
is about as uncommuhicative as an
oyster It's a good idea to mention

changes in the home.

the members of the family can receive

sAFE-BREAKING CROOKS

Some writer's delight to picture
crooks as loyable, adventurous char
acters, who, by their wit, make laugh
ing stocks of policemen. These writer's
make crime attractive. and. by sugges-
ton, keep creating new crooks. The
crook in real life. regardless of his par
ticular line of criminal endeavor is
anything but pleasing. a crook is
lower animal who lives a parasitic life.
He attacks you. like a mosquito. at
night He steals your chickens like a
skunk He takes advantage of your
women folks like a savage. and he hides
in dark places and prowls around at
night like rat.
Running down the scale of crooks, we
find at the bottom, the craeksmen, who
are known in the parlance of the un-
derworld as the ''yeggs." They gave
the name 10 themselves. The word
yegg OF. yeggman originated among the
Gypsies Aand was used to describe a
particularly clever crook in the band.
OF all crooks the yesgs are the most
brutal. merciless, numerous and cruel.
They have been known to commit muir
der without provocation. They have
.resorted to torture to locate treasure
and have battled a whole countryside
in get away" shooting men, women
and children Unfortunately.
Yeggs are nomadic and migratory
They move in packs or "mobs" OF from
five to ten members under a leader or
"highmobsman." Like all crooks, they
drop their real name for a "moni1er'
or nickname They take these names
from a physical popularity. usually
and attach the name of the town in
which they went ION the gum or be-
came a thief. A fat yegg from Omaha
