Several lreasons recommend fall
blowing TO the experienced farmer
and on a great many farms it is de-
sirable to pillow at least part of the
corn ground in the fall. While fall
blowing is not to be recommended on
land that is subject to washing, it is
however, advantageous on most of
the level prairie lands and gently roll
ing areas, according to P. F. Schow-
engerdt, soils extension specialist of
the Missouri College of Agriculture.
There are several advantages to
fall blowing. 1t gives a better dis
tribution Of farm work, relieving the
spring rush. Soils that are inclined
to be wet and cold will warm up and
be ready for working caller in the
spring if fall plowed. Where sod
coarse litter of a heavy growth Of
vegetation is to be turned under the
material will partially decompose
during the winter, thus making it
possible to prepare a better seed bed
in the spring. Fall blowing also
helps destroy certain insects. Soils
that are heavy and inclined to be
cloddy will often improve in filth with
fall blowing.
Where it is desired to deepen the
seed bed slightly by blowing some
what deeper than usual fall blowing
will allow the weathering of any
new sub-soil that may be turned up.
Fall plowed land should be left
rough in practically all cases. 1t is
not desirable to disk or harrow it
down until spring because this would
tend to make it pack or run together
too much.

ILL. LEAGUE WOMEN VOTERS
DEFEND 18TH AMENDMENT

The Illinois League of Women
Voters in session in Congress Hotel,
Chicago last week unanimously
adopted the following resolutions:
The United States government
through the department of internal
revenue, i'll 1902, fixed the alcoholic
content of beverages free from tax, at
one-half of one per cent. This tax
was paid without protest for over
fifteen years.
In the Nolstead law, Congress fol-
lowed this precedent, as had thirty
two dry states before National Pro-
hibition was adopted.
Beer containing pa per cent alco-
holic content, and so-eallcd light
wines, being Intoxicating, cannot be
legalizcd Under the Constitution.
Repeal of the Nolstead law would
leave the government without means
OF enforcing the provisions of the
Eighteenth Amendment.
Therefore, We the women OF the
Illinois League of Women Voters. do
hereby re-cmphasize our loyalty to
the Constitution, and thoroughly con-
denim all movements intended to null
lily or bring into contempt any
article contained i'll the fundamental
law of our land.

A SIMPLE SERMON

There's only one method OF meetin'

Jes' keep on a-strivin and hope fur
the best.
Don't give up the game and retire in
dismay
Cause hammers are thrown when
you'd like bouquet.
This world would be tiresome; we'd
all get the blues
If all the folks in II held just the
same views;
SO finish your work; show the best
of your skill.
"Some folks won't ike it, but other
folks will"
If you're leadin' an army, or buildin'
fence,
Do the best that you can with your
own common sense.
One small word OF praise in this jour-
ney OF tears -
Outweighs in the balance 'gainst cart
loads of sneers
The plants that we'ir passin' as COM
monplace weeds .s
Oft prove to be jes' what some suf-
ferer needs.
So, keep on a-gon' don't stay
standin' still;
Some folks won't like it. but other
folks will -

BUCKEYE STATE STRONGLY
AGAINST FAMILY STEIN
Increased Vote in Last Tussle
With Brewers More Than
Six Times.
WET PLANS SLIPPED UP
Recent Election Tally Sheets
Show More Men Voted Dry
in 1922 Than in 1919.

Newspapers generally give the ma
lority piled up against the beer amend
ment at the November election in Ohio
at little more than Isl 900. Official
returns, however, from all but five
counties, with no returns included from
Pike county, now show the dry ma jority
to be l95,350. The unofficial returns in
eluded in this figure are practically cor.
rect.
The majority this year is more than
six times the majority against the beer
amendment three years ago.
OF the IS counties, 81 gave dry ma
jorities and ! returned wet maiorities.
The wet counties are Cuyahoga,
Hamilton, Lucas, Butler, Erie, Mont
gomery and Ottawa.
The most arid county in Ohio is Nor
row,which gave more than five to ons
vote against beer.
Highland county ranks second in arid
ness, her vote being nearly four to one
against the amendment. Highland IL
the home county of Federal Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes
Franklin county. in which is located
the capital city of Columbus, having
population OF a quarter million, give the
largest dry majority of any county in
the state, l0,407.
There is not a dry county which did
not increase its majority over that Civ
en- against beer in 1919.
In many counties the dry majority
of three years ago was doubled, trebled
and quadrupled.
The vote of the women had much to
do with this increased maioritv, al
though the dry majority in a number
portion to the vote of the women, and
analysis of the figures shows that the
men voted more strongly dry than in
1919. when the women did not vote.
This proves that there has been no re-
action in favor Of beer among the men
rs claimed by the vets
Hamilton county, the wettest spot in
the state, gave about a three to one vote
for beer. Eighteen dry counties, how
ever, gave more than three to one
vote against beer, IL.
Crryahoga county, with the City of
Cleveland, the states metropolis, gave
for the beer amendments but AZ dry
counties gave more than two to one
vote against the beer amendment
