Don said it with seriousness
that made Anne smile. They were
sitting on the bench in the back
yard and wearing coats for the
first time. 1t was mid-September
and the weather had suddenly
changed just when people had
begun to feel that summer would
never end. Today had definitely
been fall day. Now at sunset
there was a fall feeling in the air.
The kitchen door was closed but
lights flooded out in festive fash
ion. It was not onlv the first fall
day but the twins birthday. They
were out walking with their
grandfather while Mary finished
the last-minute surprises for the
dinner. Il was to be held in the
big kitchen just the same at Don's
special request. Anne smiled at
him now.
"Whv do you need a haven Of
refuge? What do you have to run
awav from?"
Myself. All my life have
been trying to do that. My worst

She laughed lightly. So much
water seemed to have run under
the bridge. as her father would
say. since the day she had de-
cided that all the Don's generos-
tiles were sly selfishness. That
night she had gone to meet Tony
in a cab driven by a man who
knew him. That night Tony haC
wined and dined her and they
had danced away half the night
at an expensive club. That night
she had bluntly asked Tony
where he had got so much money
so suddenly. and he had laughed
at her and said they would soor
have money to burn. He hac
brought her home and held hel
in his arms and told her hi

go to; what schools the children
shall attend, ct cetera. Husband
has precious little say-so in the
domestic circle.
It is women who start to make
ever their husbands according to
their little paper pattern as soon
as they are married. Men seldom
attempt the job of changing their
wives. Perhaps it is because men
know that it makes for peace and
happiness to take wife "as is,
instead of trying to change her
Maybe it is because they know
that it can't be done. and so do
not wear themselves out attempt
ing a hopeless task.
But, at any rate, it is a fact
that wives influence their hus-
bands far more than husbands
influence their wives. No man,
for instance. can ALLEVIATE his wife
from her own people. She will
love them still and cling to them
no matter how much he dislikes
them. No big man can make a
little woman see life from his
point of view. No intelligence of
a husband can cure a fool woman
of her folly. AS she was born and
reared, a woman stays-and he1
husband can no more change her
than he can the shape and quality
of the Rock of Gibraltar.

Considering that a man is le-
gally and technically the head of
the family, and as most men are
better educated and have had far
more worldly experience than
their wives, it is a strange thing
that wives have so much more
influence over their husbands
than husbands have over their
wives.
OF course, husbands will deny
this. Every man fondly believes
that he is cZar in his own house
and that his wife takes her opin-
ions, her convictions. her likes
and dislikes from him. 1t would
surprise him beyond measure to
know that instead of his leading
the way he is following meekly in
his wife's footsteps and that he
is echoing all of her sentiments
instead of her subscribing to his.
Nevertheless, such is very often
the case, and when one of mar
ried couple dominates the other
it is nearly always the wife who
rules the roost. There are a
thousand henpecked men to one
roosterpecked woman.
Sometimes Separate Fomilies
We could understand it if the
women who make rubber stamps
of their husbands were possessed
of supernatural cleverness and
cunning, or if the husbands were
dumb and stupid or weaklings,
but the most curious feature of
this whole inexplicable phenome-
non of nature is that very often
the wife who imposes the color
of her every thought upon her
husband is married to a man who
is her superior in every way and
who is noted for his independence
and courage in the outside world.
have known innumerable men
whose wives influence was so
great over them that they sep
arated them entirely from the
mothers who bore them and the
sisters and brothers they loved.
The reason a bridegroom's family
is always in tears at his wedding
is because they know that Johns
marriage ceremony may be his flu
neral ceremony just as far as they
are concerned, and that they may
be losing him just as much as If
they were laying him in his grave.
Everything will depend upon his
wife's attitude and whether or
not she wants him to be friends
with his people. Otherwise she
will break off the relationship.
How any man can have his mind
poisoned against the mother
whose devotion and tenderness he
has known all his life; how any
man can be separated from the
brothers and sisters whose loyalty
and help have never failed him,
only the devil knows, but he has
taught the secret to every jealous
wife and she can turn the trick.
Wives Make Decisions
In the common. everyday af-
fairs of life it is the wives who in
fuence their husbands. not the
husbands who influence their
wives. 1t is the wives who decide
where the family shall live and
in what style; whether they shall
be savers or spenders; whether
they shall try to keep up with the
Joneses or live according to their
income: what church they shall

We Believe Milk
Is Best Crop
BY ]. w. HOWE
T efon County

WE BELIEVE MILK is the best
crop to raise on an irrigated farm.
When we moved onto our present
place in 1887 we started at once to
put all crop land into alfalfa The
only grain crop we raise is oats,
planted as a nurse crop when al
falfa is reseeded.
Starting with one COW in 1887, we
now have a herd of Is and milk an
average of % head. In building our
herd we have used every care in
the selection and culling of heifers.
Our herd is now about one-third
Guernsey and two-thirds Holstein.
This mixture of breeds gives us
good quantity and grade of milk
averaging A percent or better in test.
We have found that regular and
good feeding of both the cows and
the land pays out. The cows run to
good, green alfalfa at all times in
the loafing shed and at milking time
get mixture of ground oats and a
commercial feed. The land gets all
the manure produced plus 100
pounds to the acre each year of
phosphate This is applied in the
spring with grasshopper bait
spreader and diseed in.

(Other Than Crested Wheatgrass)
By RALPH d. MERCER
Extension Agr0monist
Grass Seed

THERE is A GROWING need for
grass seed production (other than
crested for export shipment to other
states. 1t will be few years before
other states will know what va
rieties of grasses are wanted. Until
that time, it appears as though Lin
coin bronze, alta fescue. and orchard
grass may be the best bets.
Points to Consider
l. We believe a program of certi-
fled grass seed production is advis-
able but must be developed slowly.
2. A Lincoln bronze program will
be produced under irrigation; how
ever, there are possibilities on dry
land.
3. Over the next 10 years Mon
tana's grass seed requirements may
be tremendous.
Recommendations
/. Plant in rows 80 to 48 inches
apart, l to 3 pounds per acre.
2. Provide firmly packed seed bed.
3. Keep seed bed smooth and free
of clods and weeds destroy first
CROP.
4. Pack soil firmly about seed.
S. Use drill with agitator. Set at
SO pounds of wheat per acre.
6. Plant " to inch deep, depend
ing on type of soil

Here are further recommended
tions for use of land diverted from
wheat production. as presented at

peared in Feb. / and Feb. Is is

sion of irrigated land will be
