JUST "A FEW REMINDERS OF
 THINGS WE ALL KNOW TO DO,

Almost any kind of cotton will make good yields on good land and with good fertilization. But if there is a variety that will make more and bet ter cotton on the same land and with the same fertilization, you are losing money by not growing it. Spring oats won't yield as we'll as winter oats properly planted, but sprin goats for hy are better than store-bought hay. Don't forget to get them sowed during the first good weather this week or.next or even early in March.
 During the first good weather now will be about the best time to SOW the lespedeza on the wheat or winter oats. If you have good bottom land or real good high-produging upland in grain crop, try some lespedeza. Sow about p pounds of seed per acre. It won't hurt the grain one bit On good land it will produce two or more tons of very fine, easily cured, leg ume hay.
 Are you losing one-tenth to one third of your cotton each year be- cause of cotton wilt? If so, that money can be saved by planting seed of a good wilt-resisting var 0ety. If your land is infested with wilt, you can't afford to go on with the ordinary ! kinds of cotton. Get into the job quickly and get the right kind of seed
 Good seed corn is necessary for best yields. If you failed to select in the field last fall don't forget to select in the crib this spring. Do the best you can under the circumstances. If you buy, require that it come on the ear.
 The quicker you rst your cotton seed for ability to sprout now the bet ter. Good stands and high vitality are necessary for good yields. Low ger imitation almost certainly means low vitality even thouh enough seeds are planted to get a stand. Test. Don't take it for granted that tbey are all right.-The Progressive Farmer.

GERMAN WAR PLOT
Plan to Wreck Machinery in
 Chilean Nitrate Fields.
Had the Scheme Succeeded the Great War Might Have Had . Vastly
 Different Ending.

War depends upon explosive am. intuition. Explosive ammunition de pends absolutely upon nitric acid, and the huge supply of nitric acid which is necessary comes almost entirely from the nitrate fields of Chile. The sodium nitrate of the Chilean pampas makes it possible for the guns of the world to speak.
 The most colossal war in the worlds history depended upon little strip of desert In northern Chile, writes Willard Price in the Christian Herald. Germany we'll understood this fact. For years before the war she pur- chased annually 42 per cent of Chile's total production of nitrate. This enorm- ous quantity was bought ostensibly to be used as fertilizer, and, in fact, much of it was so used. But also much of it was systematically stored away for the manufacture of ammuni- tion: so that, when the cloudburst came, Germany had on hand a vast supply of explosives and of nitrates from which explosives could be made.
 With the beginning of war she was, of course, promptly cat off from com munication with Chile. Since it was impossible for her to get more Chilean nitrate she would make it also i'm possible for the allies to get it. The outcome of this reasoning was a plot, the story of which never got to most North Americans, but which found to be widely known in South America. But for the telltale wagging of a drunken mans tongue, the war might have come to conclusion of . sort far more pleasing to the kaiser.
 One day in February of 1917 . Chilean miner came down from the nitrate pampas to the coast town of AntOfasasta. He had money. He visited . cantina and in time became drunkenly garrulous. Ills babblings made his listeners sit up sharply and exchange glances. and later report te the authorities.
 An investigation followed and a stu pendous German plot was revealed, having for Its object nothing less than the destruction of the machinery in All the nitrate oficinas of Chile.
 The plot was to be consummated on February 26 (the same date as that sci for the attempt, which proved fu- tile, 10 steal the Peruvian subma- rines). Charges well placed under boilers and at other vulnerable points would have wrecked machinery that it would have taken at least year and a half to replace.
 Of course, guards were immediately detailed and the plan was abandoned. But if the plot had succeeded-what then7 In a few months the existing supply of nitrate in the hands of the allies would have been exhausted. The manufacture of ammunition, except in Germany, would have stopped

WHAT IS \ GOOD COW?

There are surprisingly few dairy men who can give any definite answer as to what they mean by a good COW. The usual answers are She came from fine stock; she gives four gallons of milk when fresh: her mother was the best COW in the community. All of these are in cows favor, but when a man feeds cows grain and hay and deyotes time 10 their care, all of which represent cash value, something more definite than these answers must be known.
 X cows worth is properly determin- ed by the amount of profit her milk, cream, or butter-fat, manure, or calf will pay over the value of the eedf she eats and time given to her care. In other words. dairymen sell their feed and time to the cows
 Every dairymen should know the amount of milk, cream, or butter-fat each COW produces, not for few
  for the entire year. Some cows are profitable for a few months after fresh ening, but soon drop oc in milk until they average for the year such small quantity it does not pay a profit.
 Just how much a COW should pro- duce to he profitable depends to large extent on the price received for her product. The butter-fat basis used by creameries probably will ap- ply the greatest number of dairy men. At an average prices paid for fat, no COW should be kept long that pro- duces less than POO pounds of butter fat in a milking period. This should be not less than 900 days. For milk testing 4.5 per cent of fat, which is near the average for Southern cows, approximately 1900 pounds of milk (500 gallonsl would be required, or an average of one and two-thirds gallons per day for the 300 days. This standard certainly is as low as any should start with, and is one which all could meet, but with which none should be satisfied. Many cows that produce less would exceed POO pounds with proper feed and care.
 Every dairymen should have d standard for his cows and year by year, by improved feeding and use of good bulls, should raise this stand ard. Where this is done, what was considered a good COW at one time wi Inc. be considered good COW at another
 A whole herd averaging 300 and 400 pounds of butter faat yearly is entirely within the reach of any dairy man who vii luse reasonable intelli- gence and energy. Above these figures are unbounded possibilities for those who will study and work. The recent Guernsey record of 1,103 pounds of butter fat proved this.
 The higher the production of the herd the more profit and pleasure there is to dairy business, and the dairymen is entitled to both.-J. H. McClain, in The Progressive Farmer. ---------~e

scene in his latest picture, Always
Audacious'' which will be shown at
the Crescent theatre today. tomor-
row and Wednesday.
The fight in question is one of the
unique features of this new picture,
in which Mr.. Reid plays a double
role-portraying both the hero and
the villain and the former seeks out
the latter and thrashes him soundly
with his fists. giving him a black eye
in the melee.
There are many interesting situa-
tons and complications in the pic
ture, which is founded on Ben Ames
Williams Saturday Evening Post
story, ''Toujours de L'Audace." The
story tells of a gentleman crook who
shanghaies a young millionaire of
whom he is the born double. and
then usurps his name, his place in
social and public life and his sweet
heart. He is about to get possession
of his immense fortune when the
real millionaire reappears and in a
most remarkable manner establish
es his identity, even after all his
friends, his sweetheart, and the ex-
ecutor of his estate have believed
him an imposter.
