sustenance to many millions, but
they give them the kind Of nour-
ishing food so much needed, but
which in former years did not ex-
list.
The nations entire food situation
has been reversed, and the South,
to its own great profit and to the
blessing Of millions of people in
other sections, is carrying on a Good
production campaign the magnitude
of which is presented in this issue
as never before. This country will
be awakened by a study of the
fact given by railroad executives
and special correspondents as to
the influence of this industry upon
the agricultural products of the
South, upon the railroads which
transport this food, and upon the
consuming population in other sec
tions Of the country.
To the South the development Of
this industry means an increase al
most without limit Of agricultural
wealth. It means that as the ra-
TONS population increases, and the
consumption of winter vegetables
grows more rapidly than popula-
ton, there will be room in the
South for a vast increase in the pro
duction of foodstaffs for winter
consumption, and Of potatoes,
watermelons, peaches, pears, citrus
and other fruits for consumption in
the early spring and summer before
Northern products are ready for
the market.
Amid the gloom which seems to
settle over some parts Of the wheat
growing regions of the West is here
shown by contrast the wonderful
prosperity which these trucking and
fruit-growing regions are enjoying,
to the good of this section and the
good of the nation.

The Merits of Velvet Beans as
Hog Food
A. X. c., Sparta, Ga, writes:
Please advise me as to the de-
STABILITY of velvet beans alone
as a ration for hogs. If it is not
a balanced ration, what addition
al food would be required to
make it a satisfactory hog feed?
Velvet beans would not provide a
satisfactory ration for hogs. In any
event, the beans should not be fed
to pigs when they are young. 1t is
said that velvet beans produce a
dark pork when eaten by more ma
ture animals, and that the meat,
therefore, does not command so high
a price on that account. The hulls
of velvet beans seem to trritate the
digestive tract of little pigs. Grind

constitute the best form in which to

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

have saved him years of grinding
and put him in the way Of fortune.
The father justifies himself by
saying that all that he has is his
children's, and that they will event
ually get it. SO they do when he
dies, and small gratitude they feel
to him who only gave at last when
he could no longer hold on to dol
lar. The time when he could really
have helped them had passed. They
had either succeeded of themselves,
or failed. For them the die was
cast.
A woman I knew inherited a half
million dollars from her father when
she was fifty years old. She said to
me bitterly:
"It means nothing to me. can
get no enjoyment out of it, because
1 do not know how to spend money.
I want nothing now that money can
buy. Our home was always hard
and bare and ugly. My mother and
I did all of the homework and we
scrimped every penny. 1 never had
any pretty clothes when L was
girl I never had any treats. L
never had any pleasures Of any kind.
l never went with the crowd, be-
cause L never had the money to do
the things that the other girls did.
II never had a chance at any fun,
or at love, or marriage, and so l
am a punched old maid, who has
worked and saved and saved until 1t
has become second nature. L
don't even want the things now that
I once broke my heart for. AS the
old proverb says, I've got my nuts
when I no longer have the teeth to
crack them,' and so far as bringing
me any real happiness is concerned,
my money might as we'll be scraps
Of paper. If my father had spent
$4,000 on me when L was young it
would have done me more good than
this big fortune when L am old"
The time to help people Is when
they need help. The time to give is
when the gift can pass warm from
living hand to living hand. Under
no circumstances should parents i'm
poverish themselves for their chill
dren, or make themselves dependent
upon them, but if they have the
money to make life easier for their
children, why not give it to them
while they are young and while they
need it?
You can give a child more pleas
ure with a ten-cent toy than you
can give a middle-aGed man with a
government bond. A youngster will
enjoy being taken to circus more
than a careworn grown-Up would a
trip to Europe. A pretty frock
means more to a young girl than q
limousine does to a grandmother.
Surely it is worth while to remem-
Der these things, and to give happ-
ness to the young while it is still
in our power to do so.
After all, we only have today.
None of us know what the future
holds. The help we plan to give to-
morrow may come too late. The
happiness We mean to bestow may
not be ours to give. Sickness, dis.
appointment the exhaustion of long
struggling, the establishments of
life, rob people of all power of en-.
Joyment. So the moral of it all is
we must enjoy now as we go along.
What we give to others We must
give while they want and need it..
Ihere is no use in spreading a feast
before those who have no appetite.
We must do it now, if we want to
give pleasure or receive pleasure.

could perfectly we'll have provided for
themselves if they had not spent all
they earned on self-indulgence. The
thief who steals your purse does not
rob you any more than the impe-
cunious relatives and friends whose
hands are always in your pocket be-
cause their own pockets are empty
They we'll knew that affection and
family pride and common humanity
would not allow them to starve, so
they spent their own money on riot
Gus living, and depended on grating
their support from others when they
grew old.
Between the tightwad and the
waster, however, Is the golden mean.
Wise are they, who, having safely
cached the little nest egg that will
nourish them after they get too old
to work, do not seek to roll up
fortune to leave their heirs, but use
their money to buy for themselves
and for those they love the things
they crave while they still want
them.
You see many people at middle
life who are more than Wellto-do,
who deny themselves all the little
luXuries they would like to have
the comfortable home, the nice trip,
the good car. They dream of having
these things, but they keep putting
off buying them until it is too late
until they are too old and infirm to
enjoy them, or until death catches
them still longing for the things
they desired and might have had
but never did have.
And how often we see money come
to people almost too late to do them
any good! A stingy father will deny
the pretty girl the clothes and the
social opportunities that would have
enabled her to make a good mar
riage Or he will refuse to give a
boy the education that would have
la lnched him in the profession for
which nature designed him. Or he
will withhold the little help that
w )uld have saved his daughter, mar
ried to a poor man, from the labor
that broke down her health. Or he
would not buy for his son the part
