Crow Food Crop*
Any year and every year it is
profitable to raise your home sup
plies and to plant winter legumes to
improve your soils. Under present
conditions when a large surplus con

some plan must be worked out ‘.o
hold the next cotton crop down to
9 or 10 million bales.
Under these circumstances it is
especially important that we make
our farms selfsustaining, and save
a large part of the money that goes
out every year for food, feed and
fertilizer. And a large acreage of
such crops would automatically de
creases the cotton crop and be the
best guarantee we could give of the
sincerity of our intentions to make
the needed reduction.
Let us make our county indepen
dent in the matter of feed and food
by planting a large acreage of wheat
and oats this fall. And let us at least
make a start toward enriching our
soils.
We may not be able to buy winter
legume seed for all the land that
should be planted in these crops but
each fanner can at least get enough
seed to plant a seed patch and be
ready to extend his acreage next
year when he has plenty of home
grown seed. • 4 - 1 '

Instructions For Growing Crimson
Clover
The plan I am suggesting to you
is not for one year only. The plan is
to raise your own clover seed each
year so that you will always have
seed to plant a worthwhile acreage
on your farm, as much as one fourth
or one third of your entire crop
acreage. After the first year there
need be no cash outlay for the clover
seed and one acre each year will
give you seed enough to plant 12 to
20 acres. The rest of the clover car.
be ploughed under early in April anu
tho seed patch can be planted to
corn early in June. The seed which
you save at home will be in the chaff
end can be sown on top the hard
ground without cultivation of cover
ing. You do not have to wait for a
season to plant them nor for an
other crop to get off the ground.
The first thing is to get your seed
patch. You can plant that with tl.t
chaff seed or with the commercial
seed which we call clean seed. The
method of planting will be different
according to the kind of seed you
use. In either case choose a piece
<f good ground for the first seed
patch. Your chances are of course
much better for raising a good cvo’>
of seed on such land.
If you can get the chaff seed ar

stick to them but if you use plenty
of dirt this will not be necessary. If
you can not get dirt from a clover
field get some of the commercial
inoculation and inoculate some dir*
to use. Sow at least 40 pounds per
acre.
Sow these seed on top of the
ground. Do not plow the ground.
Nothing is more important toward
getting a good clover crop than a
firm seed bed. It is better not to
cover the chaff seed.
Sow some time between the mid
dle of Sept, and the middle of Oct.
Very frequently sowings earlier or
later do well but these dates cover
the most favorable time. It is better
to sow when the ground is dry. Nev
er wait for a season.
Stubble land is especially good for
planting as the stubble prevents
drifting of the seed by wind or rain
and lessons the winter heaving of
the soil. Land that has been well fer
tilized in the past is a help to a good
growth of clover on account of the
phosphoric acid left in the ground.
If you use cleaned seed you will
need only 15 pounds for an acre but
the necessity for inoculation is great
er. Chaff seed usually carry some in
oculation but clean seed carry little
or none. The commercial inoculation
is most convenient though dirt from
a clover field will be all right. The
cleaned seed should be lightly cov
ered and there should be a good sea
son in the ground when they are
sewn. However the ground should
not be plowed for them unless it is
done long enough before hand to
settle well. It is better not to risk
bieaking it after July. The seed can
be stripped or harvested with a mow
er and separated from the straw eith
er by beating out or by a grain
thrash. Yields will rqn from 500 to
1000 pounds per acre on an average.

RELIGION ... and churches
I think the best thing that has
been said on tho subject of religion
and the church was said by the dean
of St Pul’s, London, Dr. William
Ralph Inge, a few days ago. Pointing
out that the claim of the early church
to e the repository of all truth was
sound enough in the days when all
the learning of the world was in the
direct service of the church, Dean
Inge went on to say that the church
of Christ today is “the whole congre
gation of Christian people dispersed
throughout the whole world,” and
that oral and spiritual influence is
open to all, laity as well as clergy,
who show themselves fit to exercise
it-
He thought that people should
think of “the church as an orchestra
in which the different churches play
on different instruments, while a Di
vine Conductor calls the tune.”
That, it seems to me, sums up 'he
essence of modern religious thinking
in very well chosen words.
LOAFERS .... getting paid
Not long ago I parked my car in a
country village and noticed a knot of
men loafing in the sun, in front of
thee grocery store. I had not been in
that town for several years, but I
recognized many of the loafers as the
same ones who had been parked in
the same place the last time I was
there.
“Are those the local unemployed?”
I asked the grocer, an old friend
“They’re the chronic unemployed,”
he said. “I could name you twenty
men right here in town who have
never done a stroke of work they
could avoid doing. The only differ
ence now is that we’ve got an unem
ployment fund and they are getting
paid for loafing.”
If the test were applied that no
man could get unemployment relief
unless he could prove that he has had
at least one job in the past five
years, before the depression began,
it would save some towns a lot of
money.
LUXURY . . . up the chimney
Everybody isn’t broke. I learned
the other day of a wealthy man whose
hobby is open fires. He bought i
duplex cooperative apartment in one
of the fine Park Avenue buildings
last spring and the first thing he did
was to have wood-burning fireplaces
put into practically every room.
That cost him plenty, but when
the fireplaces were in he ordered his
servants to keep a fire burning i:>
every one of them, all the time.
at
That made his apartment pretty
warm in Summer, so he has just spent
forty thousand dollars installing an
air-conditioning system, to keep the
rooms at a liveable temperature while
the fires burn.
That sounds extravagant. It cer
tainly is going the, limit in the way
of luxury. But if he hadn’t spent the
money for that he would not have
given employment to the large num
ber of persons who had to be hired
to install his luxurious fireplaces
and cooling system, and away back
in the woods somebody is going to
benefit by cutting cordwood to burn
in a New York apartment.
MARCONI fitting honor
My old friend, Senatore Marchese
Guglielmo Marconi, is being honored
by “Marconi Day” at the Century of
Progress in Chicago.
Nothing could be more fitting than
thus to recognize the man who made
radio possible. And I am especially
glad to see it when I remember how
he was laughed at and ridiculed when
he first announced that he could send
messages over a distance without the
use of wires. #
I happened to be with Marconi, as
a newspaper reporter, when he got
his first regular communication es
tablished between America and Eu
rope. He predicted then, more than
thirty years ago, most of the marvels
which wireless has accomplished
since., I wrote what he said for my
paper, and we printed it, but the
editor privately told me he thought
Marconi was crazy.

GENUINE BAYER ASPIRIN POES NOT HARM THE HEART
RUSSIA . their count,-/
There is so much revival of the
talk of “recognizing” Soviet Russia
that it would not surprise me to see
the United States admitting at last
that the present government of Rus
sia has come to stay.
After all, the Communist system
has been working in Russia for near
ly 18 years, and the people ought to
know by this time whether they want
it or not.
My notion about recognition is tha.
Russia is their country, not ours, and
the Russian people are entitled to any
sort of a grovernment they want.
The main objections to recognition
have been partly fear that if we re
cognized Communism the Commun
ists might get hold of this govern
ment some way, and partly the
threats, of which we don’t hear so
much the past few years, that the
Communists were about to declare
war on the rest of the world.

want QUICK and SAFE relief see
that you get the real Bayer article.
Always look for the Bayer cross on
every tablet as illustrated,
above, and for the words

The best evidence, to my thinking,
that the United States does not need
to fear a Communist revolution, is
that in spite of the hard times we
have bee nhaving the Communist
movement hasn’t even got a toe-hold
in this country. And the return of
prosperity will put an end to all Com
