LOVE THAT IS TRUE AND KIND
Some Will Bay It Is Considered Some
what Old-Fashioned by the “Flap
pers” of Today.
As David Mann, in Charles D.
Stewart's “Valley Waters,” listens to
“Lorena,” he visualizes the theme,
thus, of the old song of Civil war
times:
“The woman was beautiful. He had
found her to beseautiful in every way.
He had fallen in love with her in her
girlhood and had recelved her love in
refurn,
“And, having once loved her, he
could no more forget than he could
forget himself,
“What a man experiences has be
come part of his possessions; it must
remain a part of hig life.
“David could see that the man
would not only continue to love Lor
ena, but that his love might grow
stronger and finer as time went on.
“Having lost her, she would become
# cherished Ideal, a vision which never
grows old. And as time passed, In
stend of forgetting her, he would be
come more consclous of the ‘lost years'
—the years that had not been passed
in her company.”
That's the way when love s true
and kind. To an age of flappers and
flippancies 18 it an old-fashioned way?
DREAM OF MANY INVENTORS
Much Time and Thought Wasted on
Machines Meant to Attain
. Perpetual Metion.
Perpetual motion has been the
dream of inventors for many cen
turies. By perpetual motion is usually
méant a mechanical device which will
operate of its own power without such
external or Internal alds as wind, gas,
steam or any other elament of force.
Some have come very near to attain
ing a kind of perfection by a series
of weights and balances; also by the
use of quicksilver, but while these
machines will operate for a time, they
are unable in that time to develop
sufficient power to work machinery or
be of any real benefit. In the town of
Minnedosa, Man, an old gentleman
had for some years a machine of his
own invention operated by a series of
weights by which he was said to have
run a small lathe. A sclentist named
Strutt has invented an -apparatus
which takes advantage of radium
emanations upon & gold leaf electro
scope, This perhaps comes near to
an endless motion, but Is maintained
at the expense of the molecular en
ergy of the radium. .
Twilight occurs only in those coun
tries that are situated at some dis
tance from the equator. In countries
near the equator darkness falls“quite
suddenly-—as soon as the sun dips be
low the horizon.

- PROGRAM BE FOR 1923?
' When 1t comes to formulating a.‘‘farm program’’ for ' making
our next crop, we are probablv less certain as to whatw we should
or can do than for many years past. >
Crop diversification has become almost 2 by-word to those in
terested in agriculture, but some types of diversification have fail
ed to pay the taxes on the land and send the children to school.
This creates a strong tendency to fall back into the old ‘‘ruts.’'”
Peraonally, we believe there is dangerin following either extreme.
The man who fries to diversify too much is likely to get -top many
“irons in the fire,”’ and thus fail. While the fellow who tries to
put all his ‘‘eggs’’ in one ‘‘lLasket’’ stands ‘a chance of;loosing
them all. N
Every line of agriculture requires a certain amount of equip
ment to do effective work., Unless the farmer is very careful, in
trying to carry too many lines, his equipment will far exceed the.
returns from his crops. State diversification and community
specialization has a number of desirable features. Especially is
this true where a community specializes on its money crops and
diversifies on its crops for home consnmption. If the farmer grows
enough food and feed supplies for the occupants and livestock of:
the farm, the remainder of the energy should then probably best
be directed towards the production nf about two money crops. In
some communities these erops are asparagus and peaches, in others
hogs and peanuts, or cotton and peppers, ete. Where such com
munity specialization is practised buyers are attracted and the pro
ducts more easily sold. Canning factories, pack houses or, other
manufacturing plants can be more easily established, and it is cer
tain that, on the average, the more nearly finished into a consum
able or manufactured from a product is before it leaves the farm
or community the more profitable it is to the producer..
SPECIALIZED FARMING BY THE INDIVIDUAL
Near the large centers of population there are always oppor
tunities_for specialized farming on the part of the individual, such
as the production of certified mjlk for infants, the production of
poultry and eggs fcr restaurants and hotels, special truck crops as
early tomatoes, celery, and head lettuce; or certain fruits as grapes
for dessert purposes and for making unfermented juice.
‘ COTTON PLANTING IN 1923
| We recognize that cotton has kteen and will be the State’s
chief cash crop. We knaw, also the cotton growing, under boll
%weevil gonditions, is more or less a gambl2 and we should not in
crease the odds against ourselves. =
" The increase in price of ¢otton along with unsatisfactory results
‘with some other money crops has created a desire for a very great
ily increased acreage in cotton for the coming year. Hereis where
‘we need to take warning. An increase in acreage, if more is put
in than can be worked according to modern methods, may mean a
postive decrease in yield: for large areas of cotton- grown by old
methods of-culture means more boll weevil feed, but not necessari
ly more cotton to the grower.
No outlined pregrom can be expected to fit a very large rum
ber of farms. Only the grower himself can arrange the number
of acres he should plant to each crop. On the average farm in the
Piedmont region a three years gotation of corn, small grains, and a
cash crop seems to be nearest suited to our needs. Perennial crops
such as alfalfa and kudzu can be grown in fields separate from thke
rotation. Such a rotation will provide most of the farmer’s needs
for food when combined with livestock farming, in a small way,
and a good garden. There should be no need for buying feed fo#
the livestock. This rotation also offers an opportunity for a soil
improvement program such as is necessary if farming is to be made
profitable in this region. Cow peas or velyet beans can be grown
in the corn, the small grains can be followed by cowpeas or soy
beans, and oats or;rye planted in the cotton. These crops should
all be turned under for improving the land, except where they can
be profitably pastured. Livestock should be kept under sheds or
in small lots, and the manure carefully saved.
"~ LOOKING TO THE FUTURE .
One year agriculture is poor agriculture, just as one year ten
ants are likely to be poor tenants. In planning for the future we
should therefore have two prime objects in view; one to establish
perennial crops, as peaches, pecans, asparagus, alfalfa, ete., to
beccme remunerative later; and the other to establish some soil
building policy that will make our farms richer year by year. This
can probably be done most economically by properly terracing the
land and then adding to its fertility by growing and turning under
green manures and the various forms of crop refuse, supplemented
by all the availablefanimal manures on the place, and'a reasonable
amount of commercial fertilizers. Profitaile farming gis most
easily accomplished on fertile soil.
