BOYS ON THE FARM
How t 0 keep boys on the farm is
a problem that has perplexed many
farmers, as well as others who
have been alarmed at the trend to
wards the large centers of popula
tions.
There are a few intelligent farm
ers, however, who know the answer
They have tried it and found that
>t works.
t he answer is giving the boy who
stays on the farm the same chance
that he would have in the city if
Co went there.
Farmers who have shared with
their sons in the profits of their
farms and have appreciated the fact
that boys needs a certain amount of
recreation, are the ones who are
enjoying the whole-hearted co-opera
tion of their sons.
These same farmers have also
joined in the farm organization
work and have given heir support
to co-operative marketing plans, be
cau e they know that by this means
they will be able to increase farm
avenue.
Making farming more profitable
’-ill make it more attractive to
young men.
The only way to compete with
the big cities that are drawing boys
away from the farm is to meet
them on their own ground and use
the same weapons a fair profit and
a reasonable amount of pleasure
along with work.
WHERE DO YOU BELONG?
There are three classes of people
in every community and everybody
fits into one of them.
There are those who go through
life with a smooth unconcern that is
seldom, if ever, ruffled. They are
serene on all occasions because they
never take the trouble to bother
themselves with anything that is
going on around them.
People of this class never do any
real harm in the world and in rare
cases exert themselves enough to do
n little good. Everybody likes them,
but they never command a lot of re
spect and admiration.
Then there is a second class, which
we hope are in the majority, who do
not hoitate to say what they think
who take a stand on questions of
importance, after they get the tacts
and form an opinion.
In other words, they have con
victions, and they do not hesitate to
give praise where it is due, nor heap
on censure when it is deserved. They
are the constructive citizens who,
though they may sometimes make en
emies, are responsible for whatever
progress is made.
And finally, we have the third
class the chronic eomplainers and
kickers, whose happiest moments are
when they are complaining about
somebody or something and whose
whole life is destructive.
But the fortunate thing about
them is that they are more destructive
to themselves than they are to so
ciety. They don’t get as large a
hearing as they once did but they
-’■e annoying, to say the least.
Education is the formation of
such habits of thought and action
ns will enable us to live sanely and
happily, to know how to make knowl
edge when we need it. and to be real
service to the community of which
we are a part.

Save Your Crimson Clover Seed
In my opinion Crimson clover is
the best winter cover crop available
for this section. It will be easier to
get a good acreage of Crimson clover
growing on our farms than any other
of the winter legumes. The experi
ence of the past winter indicates that
it will compare with any of our win
ter cover crops in cold resistance,
and, perhaps excel any of the winter
legumes. And certainly it will bear
comparison with any crop as a soil
builder.
However, a great many farmers
are kept from planting it because
they feel like they can not afford to
buy seed every year as is customary
in this section. But as a matter of
fact this is not necessary. Crimson
•lover seed can be very easily saved
in sufficient quantities to seed a
good acreage on the farm, and may
also be made to yield a very nice
little income in many cases.
I know of several very good pieces
if Crimson clover in the county and
I hope that these and any others
that come through the winter will be
saved for seed.
The following simple plan for sav
ing seed has been in use by a num
ber of farmers and can be used by
any farmer who will:
The time for harvesting the seed
is when about two-thirds of the seed
are hard. At this time the blooms
will have fallen off the entire head
and some heads in the field will be
ripe enough to shatter in the heat
of the day. In fact they are in a
condition where, if the clover is cut
and left a few hours in the swathp
exposed to the sun, a great part of
the seed will be shattered in raking.
Therefore our plan is to cut the
clover when there is enough moisture
to keep it from shattering and rake
it up immediately behind the mower.
This is very important. Either late
in the afternoon or early in the
morning will do, but it is easier to
cut in the late afternoon. But in
either case it should be raked up im
mediately behind the mower.
If cut in the afternoon it should be
hauled to the barn the next morning
before the dew dries off. If cut in
the mor: ing it lies in the wind and
out during that day and night and is
hauled the next morning. If there
are not too many green weeds in it
it can be packed into the barn this
way without damage.
It can be thrashed any time when
the atmosphere is fairly dry. This
can be done with sticks and forks if
preferred but if there is much of it
to do it will be better to put it
through a grain thrash. The ma
chine separates the seed from the
atraw but does not take the chaff
off. And we have found the seed in
this condition give us surer stands.
The seed from one acre will seed
from ten to thirty acres and wi'l
bring from $-10 to SIOO on the market
The demand this year will probably
be strong.
There arc other methods of seed <
saving which I would be glad to dis
scribe if desired, but this is the most
generally practicable and can be used
by anybody with no expense.
If each farmer will sow a seed
patch suitable to the size of his farm,
save his own seed, sow on a hard
seed bed in September or October
Without plowing the land or covering
the seed we can soon have a winter
cover crop on our farms that will
double our yields of any crop we
plant.

How The 801 l Weevil Spreads
The weevil moves from place to
p.ace by flight. Although it does
not ily far as compared with many
insects, it has been known to cover
a distance of over forty miles in a
short time. It is unable to continue
flight very long but by a senes of
short flights especially when the
wind in favorable it may cover con
siderable distances.
The first movement of the weevil
is in the spring from its winter quar
ters. This flight is only to the near
est cotton. Generally, the winter
quarteis are close to the cotton fields
bo that the distance covered is not
great. After the weevils reach the
field there is usually very little move
ment except from plant to plant
until well along in the summer. The
over-wintered weevils and their off
spring for several months only move
ike a slowly advancing overflow.
Up until August about 90 per cent of
the weevils in any field are those
which developed practically where
they are found. Although the grad
ual overflow may have carried the
insects some little distance into the
field there has been very little move
ment from field to field.
About the middle of August, earlier
or later depending on tthe season, an
instinct on the part of the weevils
to move about becomes noticeable.
This i sometimes due to something
like crowding in the field but seems
primarily due to a special instinct
similar to that which causes birds to
migrate. During this period weevils
appear to become restless and take
to the air very actively, flying in all
directions. This is the orfly time
when there is considerable movement
and accounts for the spread of the
insect in successive waves across the
cotton belt.
With the approach of cold weather
there is another distinct movement on
the part of the weevil. This is into
winter quarters in and about cotton
fields. Examinations of Spanish mess
at different distances from fields
have shown that the distance from
fields covered in this flight into win
ter quarters is not very great.
One of the most striking things
connected with the boll weevil is the
rapid advance it has made across the
cotton belt. The insect made its
way into the United States in extreme
southern Texas about 1892. It has
now covered the territory to the At
lantic Seaboard and as far north as
Virginia. The advance each year has
averaged about fifty miles, although
climatic conditions reducing the num
ber of weevils present in the fields,
have sometimes caused the advance
to be much less than that.
I Under some conditions the boll
weevil is sometimes spread by man
through the shipment of cotton and
cotton products or of any commodity
which originates on the farm. Spread
by this means has been of very lit
tle importance, as it is generally ex
ceeded by the distance covered by the
natural flight of the insect.
Senior Chronicle
The High School Literary a: d De

Wilsonians held their third meeting
last Monday. The regular meeting
day is Friday, but on account of the
rain the meeting was postponed un
til Monday. A very interesting pro
gram was given by the Wilsonians.
This question was debated; “Should
the Honor System on Examination
Be Established in Our High School?”
The affirmative was Lucile Gamble
and Frank Drake. The negative,
Velma Wright and Thompson Davis.
The negative won by a majority of
3 points. Each week questions are de
bated, which prove helpful and bene
ficial to the students.

JUSTIFYING OUR EXISTENCE
The feeling is growing that higher
demands should be made of groups
ha., are made of individuals; that
when men and women live together
in communities, they should justify
.heir existence by worthy accom
plishments.
This principle which makes high
er demands of groups than of in
dividuals is recognized in our laws
against conspiracy. Frequently in
dividuals can do which collective
bodies may not do.
Any individual may fritter away
his time about as he pleases, but it
is the popular verdict that when
people spend their lives together,
their time here on earth is wasted
if they do not make an effort to im
prove conditions and prepare the
coming generation for useful citi
zenship.
There is justice in this verdict,
because any community that does
not grow and improve will event
ually waste away and the people
who are at the helm now, the cit
zens whose opinions are respected
and whose leadership will be fol
lowed, should feel that they have a
very grave responsibility.

TRY' A NEW METHOD
When you have occasion to speak
of the place where you live, what
is the burden of your remarks
Some complaint or grievance, no
doubt.
The good things of community life
we take as a matter of course ana
never give anyone credit for them.
We believe that they are coming to
us and we can see no reason for
comment.
If we have a good administration
of affairs by public officials, we
never take the trouble to tell them.
If we have an unusually large num
, ber of public-spirited men who are
i working for the betterment of our
local conditions, we seldom ever
give them even faint praise.
But let something go wrong and
our first inclination is to blow up.
Somebody is to blame, of course, we
reason, and that somebody needs a
good reprimand, if not something
worse.
Having let off steam, the most
of us are ready for the next round
and become a'most human again.
But let’s resolve to change our
policy in the future. Why not try
looking for the good things that
may be found in abundance and
boo'-t them? It will benefit every
o~e who tries it and it will he’p
■ the community too.
