THEN there is the wont-wait
widow. She is up against
the French law, which declares
that 800 days must elapse be-
tween the death Of her husband
and her remarriage.
It is far too long, she de-
clares, and demands a reduc-
ton Of the time limit to her
widows weeds.
Quite a number Of worthy sena-
tors in the French parliament
have become champions of the
love-lorn ladies, and it is pretty
certain that they will carry their
cause to victory.
One Of the arguments is that
divorced woman is often allowed
to marry within a few weeks Of
divorce; why, then, penalize the
poor widow with a long wait of
500 days.

Church Rehabilitation
Exercises Postponed

The special arranged for the
Church of the Messiah Sunday
morning and evening, in re-dedica-
ting the church and in installing
Rev. George W. Scudder as the
pastor, had to be postponed until
next Sunday because of the illness
of Superintendent Fortier.
As a rededication and installa-
ton service without the state su-
perintendent is as incomplete as
the same exercises without the in
stallation sermon, the pastor post
poned his sermon prepared for the
occasion, as well as the other fea-
lures of the program, until next
Sunday, when it is expected Mr..
Fortier and the other speakers can
be present.
Mr.. Scudder provided his large
congregation against the rainy dis
appointment of the dav by preach
ing an excellent sermon on Hap

Like most outlaws. the notorious
Jim Crow has some points that are
commended among law-abiding eli

he is hard-boiled egg. His spring
time ravages on the cornfield are
largely responsible for his unsavory
reputation, but he has added to II
by occasional raids on the poultry
yard, depredations on wild birds ana
attacks on crops other than corn.
Jim Only Half Bad.
Jim, however, is only about half

Nearly one-fifth Of his food is made

his menu some of the farmers worst

ALFALFA WITH CORN

reason corn is so popular for silage
is that it yields a large tonnage at

Alfalfa is somewhat difficult 70

gumes. when put up i'm this way.
Special care must be taken In

which causes il 10 putrefy instead

Depends on Weather Conditions.
There are times, however. when
alfalfa may be made into silaEe.

ing OF hay Good silage may be
made from partially wilted alfalfa
if it is cut fine enough and well
packed. If it is partly cured before

added water may improve the silage.
but experience has shown that a
''washy' silage may result If freshly
cut alfalfa is put up while wet with
rain Under reasonably favorable
conditions alfalfa can be made into
hay at less expense than into silage.
Alfalfa and Corn Good.
Alfalfa and corn mixed make
good silage. The corn adds the
sugar and starch necessary for the
right fermentation. For the same
reason the mixing Of sOrghams or
small grains with the alfalfa i'm

GOOD FARMERS STILL
HAVE GOOD CREDIT
They Should Take Advantage
of Opportunities to Promote
Farm Development.

There are, of course. poor farm -
ors. Just as there are poor business
men Neither should expect or re-
ccive credit or favor from the bank.
In every good agricultural section.
however. there are farmers who
would be greatly benefited by en-
z loying their credit more as an &C
tive than as a potential asset. They
might have to be sold on the idea
of borrowing money 20 increase
their production or 10 improve their
property and equipment. but such a
service would be profitable business
TO the banker and promote the de-
velopment and prosperity Of the en-
tire community.
Bankers Can Help Progress.
The farmer has certain credit ia
cilities at the present time. The
federal farm loan banks and local
savings or trust institutions viii
readily lend him money on land and
the business of these institutions is
constantly increasing. In some sec
tons. short time credit can be Sc
cured. banker can help in the
material progress of his community
in no better way than to lend money
TO reliable farmers for the purchase
Of better seeds. pure bred livestock
labor saving machinery. improved
equipment and fertilizers which
when properly used greatly increase
Yields, improve crop quality and
keep up the fertility of the soil
Up 10 this TOint the credit needs
Of many farmers are fairly well
cared for. but there is another kind
Of credit which no agency is pre-
pared 10 handle at the present time
namely. that which a farmer needs
to carry him through a crop grow
ing and selling season or a livestock
feeding period This may mean an
extension Of credit for from six
months to three years. American
agriculture is. fast changing from a
hit-and-miss proposition to one re-
quiring the application of business
principles in production and selling
There Is little new land left TO be
exploited Farmers must settle
down on what they have and rro-
duce food in competition with other
nations for an ever increasing pop
ulation. Distances have been wiped
out by transportation systems and
cold storage facilities.
All sections of the country are in
competition with each other This
means the development Of azricul-
ture along sound business lines.
The real big business Of this coun-
try is agriculture. To put II on
permanent. self-sustaining. and
profitable basis will require the
adoption of new methods. new
equipment, different systems Of
mana cement, and the same credit
facilities as other business men en-
Joy. There is no one who can do
more 70 bring about these adjust
ments and assist in developing a
stable and profitable agriculture
than the banker who has the best
interests Of HIS community at
heart
