The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-04-29

"There's something very wonderful gong to happen to me this June" said Rosabel happily. "I've felt it-and besides, for tune-tener told me so."
 Gerald had lived next-door to Rosabel ID years: ever since she was seven and he was twelve. So he knew her well enough to say severely. "Don't be little goose!' before he went off to see the lady he was paying attention to. She could not be called lit tle goose: she was quite Gerald's own age. She had black eyes and fascinating ways: her only drawback was the way she let Der rison and old James sit all over the place, nights Gerald was paying attention.
 Gerald disliked Derrison most. James was old as the hills-at least 30-while Der rison was about Gerald's age, with better looks and more salary. And this night he had, in addition, coaxed the lady out to see . special constellation over romantic hill nearby. James intended to tag along, too; but Gerald decided not to. Three of them were too ridiculous.
 The lady laughed. "A pleasant walk home, then," she said, and her procession swept off one way, leaving Gerald going the other, feeling that be had vindicated his self-respect, but lived in . very lonesome world.
 "Was she nice tonight?" asked Rosabel from among her honeysuckle. The brightness was still on her little face, as if she had been thinking all this time about the won- derful thing that was coming true. She made Gerald feel iiks coming up and bof-

RURAL EDUCATION
NEEDS DIRECTION
Farm Folk and Villagers Must
Come to Recognize Their
Interdependence.

There are several twists that need
to be Strengthened before our rural
schools can go straight to their goal.
That is the opinion of E. M. Tiffany
of the Wisconsin College of Agricul-
ture who has been giving lot of time
to the study of this important sub
ject. He is certain that, in the first
place, farmers and villagers must rec
ognize their interdependence. ''The
American farmer" says Tiffany, sis a
countryman, not a villager. His farm
is his domain. The American villager
is commercial or professional, not ag-
ricultural
''The village nose is set little too
high. The farm jaw is set little too
firm. We need fewer cities Of the
third class and more rural villages ;
fewer farmers who think they should
eliminate the middle man and more
who are able through intelligent CO.
operation to illuminate him. There
are too many village women who
schedule their 'shake-spear' clubs at
the same time the ladies of the farm
ers' institute are to meet, and there
are too many farm women who mag
inc that their children would go skid

NEW COMBINATION
is FLAX AND OATS

Several new combinations have been
hitched into Wisconsin's crop team.
Agronomists at the Wisconsin College
of Agriculture now add flax and oats
to the long list of famous mixtures now
grown in the state
Flax and oats when grown together
are mutually helpful, the agronomists
claim. Flax has not held high place
in Badger farmers esteem for the past
several years because it is easily
crowded out by weeds and cannot with
stand the ravages of the wilt. On older
lands it is very hard to get dividend
yielding crop of flax, while, in addition.
the problems of harvesting and &hresh-
ing have presented no small amount of
difficulty.
But the f1ax-oat combination elim1-
mates much of this difficulty. When
planted together, the oats tend to keep
the weeds from crowding out the flax,
they aid in curing the flax, and are in
strumental in overcoming the trouble
usually encountered in harvesting and
threshing this crop. 1t is a compara-
lively simple matter to separate the
seeds after threshing.
In this combination the flax seed
will bring a good price on the market
as seed, while the oats, which are never
very good as a cash crop, can be fed
to thesIive stock at home and marketed
on the hoof to excellent advantage. Il
is also claimed that the new aaN-oat
team makes a rich cattle feed.
These crops do best when they are
soWn at the same time, the agronomists
say. They need the same kind of a
seed bed and if medium late oats are
used the two crops will mature at the
same time. Both % pounds of fax to
48 pounds of oats, and 35 pounds of
AJAX to 80 pounds of oats have proved
satisfactory seeding mixtures. The
Weld will usually be about the same a.
could be expected from the same num-
Der of acres divided between the crops
If weeds did not reduce the fax yield.
Experimental work with flax and
wheat indicated that as far as the
1923 results were concerned, flax and
wheat can be grown very satisfactorily

Wheat After Soy Beans
Particularly Desirable

The idea seems general that a soy
bean hay crop removed from a piece
of land leaves it In particularly de-
sirable shape for wheat sowing as far
as fertility is concerned. Such is not
the case. When soy beans are removed
as hay there has been, practically
speaking, no fertility added to the soil
by the legume while, on the other
hand, both phosphorus and potash have
been removed. Wheat on land from
which soy beans have been removed
as hay will respond to a 2-12-6 fertili-
ger in very satisfactory manner and
some such fertilizer should be used.
Only by turning under the beans is
there any appreciate addition of nj
trogen to the soil and wheat will al
ways respond to small amount of
nitrogen when following soy-bean hay.

Area Plan of Wiping Out
Dread Disease of Cattle

In the interests of improved live
stock throughout the surrounding
country, the First National bank of
Petersburg, N. D., is not only actively
supporting the Better Sires-Better
Stock campaign, but is aiding in
financing It. An officer of the bank,
in recent letter to the United States
Department of Agriculture, states that
there are now over 80 pure bred sires
In the immediate vicinity, most of
them shipped in by the bank. In ad-
dition the bank has arranged to ship
in 18 carloads Of breeding ewes from
the West to place among it's custo-
mers, and along with the ewes there
will be distributed pure bred rams of
four leading breeds.
The relatively low price at which
pure bred live stock is now available
has encouraged officers Of the bank in
their activity, thus laying the founda-
ton for herds and fiocks Of good quail
ity that will be valuable assets to the
community later.

Indiana Roads Are Not
Intended for Speeding

Indiana state roads are constructed
and maintained to expedite overland
travel twelve months in the year, but
their smoothness of surface does not
necessarily mean they should be con.
verified into speedways despite the In
vitation they present, declares John
D. Williams. director of the state high
way commission.
Indiana state roads will go into the
winter in excellent condition to with
stand the rigors of thaws and freezes.
highway officials say. During the sum-
mer and fall many Of the secondary
roads were "regraveled" and IRE
stoned" Traffic in the past few
months caused them to bind hard and
firm. Drainage has been an impor-
tant item in maintenance work also,
and experience has shown that non
rigid type roads properly and quickly
drained better withstand the severe
traffic demand Of the times.

Trace Poultry Diseases
to Dampness in Houses

AS winter approaches more trouble
will be experienced in the health of
the fowls than during the summer
months. It is true that the young
chicks are often overcome with bowel
trouble and diarrhea, by cold, damp
ness and poor feeding. Scaly legs,
which are a scourge in many poultry
yards, can be traced absolutely to
filth, damp quarters and neglect. Roup,
canker, consumption and sore eyes
may all be traced to dampness, cold
draughts blowing through the houses
and unnatural exposure to inclement
weather. Nothing causes the ailment
as quickly as damp, unhealthy poul-
try bouses In which the fowls are COM
PEELED to stay.
Diphtheria, canker and roup are all
kindred diseases, which can directly
be blamed upon those having charge
of the fowls. If the birds have COM
Portable, dry houses, properly venti-
lated. with sanitary conditions, there
is little danger of these ailments un-
less they are caught by coming in con-
tact with other ailing birds. Rheu-
matism, govt and leg weakness are
usually blamable upon hereditary con-
ditions, inbreeding or unhealthy, damp
quarters.
