when sanity In *dutMtion was

school* and colleges wet educating
the youth of this land away from
the natural tendencies and from the
human instincts of well developed
toys and girls.
The education of today seems to
destroy initiative, self-reliance, cour
age, and a desire for self-support.
The educational system of today
haa apparently destroyed the desire
on the part of children to be con
tributing members of society. They
•eem to think that the state owes
•hem something because it gives
them a free education. There are
very few boys learning to be master
mechanics. The majority are trying
to find an elevator by which they
can ride to the top story of Success.
Success was never reached by an
elevator. The mountain peak of
Success esn be reached only by
climbing over the rocks and by en
during the hardships, dangers, and
difficulties.
1 If the manufacturing plants of
fhlf country had to depend upon
Aiueticai; master mechanics, the
factories of the land would have to
close The majority of the master
mechanics controlling the factories
today have been trained in foreign
schools. There are very few appren
tices. We have permitted the tyran
nical labor unions of the country to
destroy the school of apprentices.
The idea of organizations or insti
tutions arbitrarily saying how many
apprentices they will permit to be
trained! Such a tyrannical sugges
tion from an organization should
not be permitted. Such a doctrine
is a damnable curse to the manutac-
tuiing plants of this land.
Men of brains and money should
spend their time and money and
their energy in founding, erecting,
and directing technological schools
for the training of boys and girls in
♦he great mechanical trades of life.
There should be a great technologi
cal school in every c »ty of this land,
and our boys should be encouraged
to learn trades, to master trades,
and to become masters in their
trades.
We have too many counter hop
pers. too many clerks, too many
nonentities, and too few technically
trained mechanics coming from ths
public schools of our country.

FARM BUREAU
Planting of Forage Crops.
Fortunate is the farmer who in ,
June could plant his crop, harvest j
his grain, cultivate his crop, and yet
find time for preparing liberal ac
reage for forage, hut because of !
continued rains we have yet one-fifth
acreages for hay unprepared and :
not planted in anything, but we can 1
sow and plant sorghum seed, peas,
Sudan grass, or other summer-grow- (
ing grass-like plants.
However, the choice among legu-
mes is complicated in our county.
The Mexican bean beetle has greatly
multiplied. Next after the snap
beans and butter bean, the Mexican
beetle is most destructive to cowpeas. j
Therefore, it may be necessary to
substitute some other legume. The ,
tests made by the Alabama Experi- I
ment Station near Birmingham last t
summer showed that the velvet bean. !
mung bean and the peanut escaped ]
njury, and that damage to soy beans i
occurred only late and to a far less
extent than injury to cowpeas. Men
tion of these facts will enable each
farmer to make his own choice be
tween these substitutes. We cannot
afford to fail planting this idle land
in some legume crop, because our
corn crop is very late and we cannot
expect to make a large yield of corn
except the season is very favorable.
Boll Weevils.
The boll weevil is doing a great
deal of damage in our county, and
only very few farmers have made ar
rangements to poison with calcium
arsenate, hut some of our farmers j
are doing fine work and saving their
otton crop. It is not too late to get
calcium arsenate yet. We can buy
from the State Board of Entomology
for 9 cents per pound f. o. h. At

Hay Making Simplified
With Standard Fordson Equipment
You cannot afford to lose time in the haying season.
There are few sections where the weather at haying
time is always ideal. That is the one time of year
•when speed is the essence of good farming. It is no
uncommon happening for some farmers to lose
several tons of hay by a delay in getting it off the
ground.
This work is now speeded up by using the Fordson
with the Roderick Lean Cutmore Mower.
The CUTMORE is attached direct to the tractor
between the front and rear wheels in the position
where the driver can have perfect control over it.
The power is taken from the worm gear that drives
the rear wheels, so it is always even and dependable.
The CUTMORE makes hay cutting with the
Fordson a one-man job. There is ample power for
cutting the heaviest crops, including alfalfa, clover,
vetch, velvet beans, pea hay and lespedeza.
Tiie cutter bar may be disconnected in a few
minutes, so that the tractor may be used for other
work. The draw bar is always available for pulling
a wagon, rake or other tool. Attached to your
Fordson, the CUTMORE means greater speed and
economy of handling your hay crop,
