Farm Blessings

Farm life must be pretty good,
after all, and farmers must be a
pretty good lot of men. There is no
other conclusion possible from the
results of a questionaire sent out
by a western farm magazine. Of
many thousand women, more than
80 percent declare they would rath-
er have their daughters marry far
mers than city men.
And why do they like farm life

A MOTHERS PRAYER.

Help me my God, to hold this little
life
Which thou hast given me-my joy,
my crown
Mid earth's varied scenes of JOY and
strife,
IA treasure to be guarded safe for
Thee.
The love is mine but how I need the
strength
And patience, too, to guide the little
feet;
To sow alone the seeds Of love and
truth
From life's early dawn all thru the
age of youth.
That when times allotted span is
told,
Together we may walk the streets of
gold!

agriculture. Vetch is high in protein
content, is a good hay, pasture and
oiling crop, and it's more general
growth would increase the fertility
of the soil, make the livestock indus
try more profitable, and remove
much of the existing necessity flo.
buying hay in certain districts.
Vetch is a legume and improves
land by adding nitrogen and organic
matter to it. 1t grows through the
winter and spring, and may be har.
vested in time to plant corn, sor-
ghum, cowpeas, peanuts, sweet pota-
toes, and sometimes cotton on the
same land. 1t should be used on prac.
tically every farm to build up impov,
erished soils and to maintain the
productivity of the land.
September and October are the
months in which preparation should
be made for winter pasture and for
early hay crops.
Vetch is to be ranked above
crimson clover in that it is more GER
tain to afford a stand, somewhat
harder both towards cold and to-
ward heat and drouth, and especial.
lily in the fact that under some of
the methods of treatment it can be
made to reseed the land. 1t has been
known to grow from volunteer seed
a number of years in succession on
land in which a plow had not been
entered for years.
Preparation of the Soil.
The preparation for vetch is the
same as that for oats-namely, pillow.
ing and narrowing while there is e.
nough moisture in the ground to OBJ.
viate Goodness. AS a rule, a sharp
disk harrow should be used ahead of
the pillow to cut the vegetation into
short pieces and to pulverize the sur.
face two or three inches of the soil,
1t is also often necessary to use a
disk harrow after the pillow to des-
troy the clods. 1t is always advisable
to use a peg tooth harrow to put on
the finishing touches.
For maximum yield and ease in
handling the hay, oats or some other
small grain crop should be planted
with vetch. AS oats make tie best
hay when cut in the dough stage, the
variety of oats planted should be
governed to a certain extent by the
time it is desired to cut the vetch.
When planted for pasture, hairy

Pittsburgh, Kan, July 13.-''Is the
truth unknown to Governor Allen?"'
asks the Workers Chronicle in its
comment on the governors latest
outburst in a New York banquet on
the Kansas "can't-strike' law.
1.-THE shame of it is" says the
Workers Chronicle, that thousands
of people will believe such false
statements just because a governor
made them, and Allen has spent
more than two years bouncing all
over the United States telling tales
as bad, or even worse, than he is
quoted above. "
why didn't Allen tell his audi
ence that we have had more strikes,
more troubles, more taxes, less ben@-
fits and less prosperity since the
court was created?
why didn't he tell them that a
100 per cent stri Ike order is on now
in Kansas. and in spite Of. his peon-
age court law? r.

single union official in Kansas has

report of the commission named by
DR., Stephen S.. Wise, rabbi of the
free synagogue, to investigate con-

families in the New River field are
in need. More than 800 families have
been evicted in the territory visited
by the commission, and "house no.

stated that the stories of their ef-
