Soil, Which Yields Subsistence to
Mankind, Should Be Conserved
and Not Impoverished.
There is one duty that rests upon
the farmer, and that is, he should
protect the soil. That which yields
the means of subsistence to mankind*
should be conserved and not impov¬
erished, as unfortunately is true to
a large extent. Nature is generous,
and should we prove ungrateful? Not
only all existence depends upon the
soil, but the life of future genera¬
tions as well. The law, by heavy
penalty, prevents our taking anything
which belongs to another, without his
consent, if living. Shall we rob our
children and our children’s children
by taking the substance from the soli,
leaving to them a legacy of impover¬
ished land?
It has been argued that the farmer
will never organize and work in har¬
mony. I believe he will. Our school
system Is getting away from the dead
languages to living problems. Reason
is asserting itself over matters of au¬
thority. Education will In the future
be the useful. Farming is a science,
and the day will come when a knowl¬
edge of the soil and its products wfli
command more respect than a knowl¬
edge of Greek and Latin, and a skull
full of classical leanjing,' memorized
from the ancient order, writes Frank
\. Collins in the Groesbeck (Texas)
lournal. The march of science is
exact, commanding, it is being ap¬
plied to the soil. It will bring about
organization, not ruled by prejudice.
The newspaper is the great educa-
tor, for it cannot be muzzled. A col¬
lege professor may be compelled to
write a text book to the end that spe¬
cial interests be eared lor, but the
press subjects itself to no authority,
ind wields a free lance.

CO-OPERATION ON THE COAST
Ten Farmers in California, Owning
1,200 Acres of Land, Merge Hold¬
ings Into One Farm.
:
i The spirit of co-operation has al-
i ways been an element in the upbuild-
; ing of California where everybody be-
j lieves working in putting together instead of
criss-cross as they do in this
country. Ten farmers in the San Joa¬
quin valley owning 1,200 acres have
thrown their holdings into one big
farm as a matter of economy in the
| cost of operation. Instead of having
ten farms, therefore, each with a com-
plement of teams and men with a lot
of expensive machinery, the big ranch
has been put under one overseer, and
the saving in machinery, horses and
other incidentals is a big item. A
huge gasoline tractor was put to
work and the land wa3 plowed and
leveled. In the almost exact middle
of the big alfalfa tract, at a point suf¬
ficiently elevated, a half-acre concrete
lined reservoir was built and from
this leads one of the best and most
elaborate concrete pipe systems of ir¬
rigation. Water can be turned on at
almost any desired spot of the land
through a perfect maze of gates, and
the five pumps, working all at once,
will furnish over 7,000 gallons of wa-
ter a minute. The system of consoli-
dation has proven an immense suc-
cess and in the work which has been
done thus far, of leveling and seed-
ing the tract, the saving has been
several thousand dollars. The scheme
has the advantage of both large and
small farming
WEAPON FOR FARMERS’ UNION
Organization Can Never Hope to
Wield sAny. Influence in World
Without Co-operation.
Time is swiftly passing by and as
it does history is being made, and I
fear if the history of the Farmers’
union could be written in detail it
would not show up as well as the
more enthusiastic _i us would prefer,
writes M. F. Dickinson in the Co-
Operator. How many locals as a whole
would come up with a clean record
of obedience to the orders of the
union leaders? Yet who would for
one minute argue against not merely
the ‘'importance" but the "necessity"
of co-operation?
Imagine if you can what the effects
would hare been in 1907 bad Charles
S, Barrett, immediately after the or¬
der had gone out to the bankers of
the country from their chief banking
mogul in New York to hold your mon¬
ey in their banks, given out a similar
order to the membership of this great
farmers' organization to hold every
pound of meat, lard, butter, etc., every
bushel of wheat, corn, potatoes and
rice; in fact, every article of farm
products then in their hands.
Who doubts for one minute that
the banks of the country would have
been thrown open before the follow¬
ing Wednesday night? That is, pro*
vided the farmers of the country had
obeyed this order of their chief as the
bankers did their New York chief.
But, sad though bt is to acknowledge,
Charlie Barrett knew the order would
not he obeyed and hence he did not
send it out.
But many have co-operated together
and this co-operation has shown re¬
sults. To illustrate: In the early days
of our organization the business world
would not deal with us at all. They
looked upon us as trespassers on the
rights of others, without the business
sense to do any kind of business oth¬
er than raise corn or cotton. But by
co-operation we were able in many lo¬
calities to control so much business
that they begin to sit up and take no¬
tice. Seeing that we were not only
able to conduct a business, but that
we were actually doing it regardless
of the ban which had virtually been
placed upon us, they began solieiting-
our business. Last year our manager
tried many cotton oil companies be¬
fore he found one that would let us
buy seed for them. This year several
differeut companies tried to get our
business.
The manager of one of our co-oper¬
ative stores told me that when they
first organized he made a trip to St.
Louis to buy groceries, but upon ar¬
rival there found that only one whole¬
sale grocery company was willing to
sell to him. Now they are ail anxious
to do business with him. And so runs
the history of our business experi¬
ences.
Now, seriously, brethren, without
co-operation the union is worth noth¬
ing. It can never hope to wield any
influence either at home or abroad,
with its own membership or the busi¬
ness world without this co-operation.
What preparations are being made
in your neighborhood or county to co¬
operate with the union this year?
Have you made any arrangements to
assist those who are not ablfe to do
as they would like to? If not, why
not? Have you arranged to handle
their distressed cotton by financing it
for them? You can do so if you have
not already done so. Have you made
any arrangements to handle their cot¬
ton seed, chickens, eggs, butter, etc.,
for them? If s'o, you may well expect
their co-operation with you. But be¬
fore you expect anything done you,
the leaders in- your county must have
some tangible plan to handle their
stuff ready to put into operation—not
some impracticable dream.
Now, if your leaders have these ar-
rangements made are you, the mem¬
bers of the union, going to co-operate
together, thus guaranteeing the suc¬
cess of their plans this year? They
have a right to expect you to do so.
Iu a recent ruling of President Charles
S. Barrett he says any member who
refuses to obey the orders of the
union can be suspended or expelled
from thq order. But no one desires
to do this. As you very well know,
thi3 would not attain the ends desired.
We need you in the organization, and
you should patronize the institutions
of the order.
1 want to impress on each and every
member the importance of working to¬
gether. Co-operation is our weapon.
Agricultural Knowledge.
The farmer who reads agricultural
papers, books and bulletins, and at¬
tends farmers’ institutes is no longer
ridiculed as a book farmer, except by
an occasional simpleton whose cen¬
sure amounts to real praise. People
are studying agriculture as never be¬
fore. Once, and not very long ago,
either, it was thought derogatory to
the high character of the human in¬
tellect to engage it in the sordid af¬
fairs of business. Eventually brains
became involved in business affairs
as well as in_phllosophy, rhetoric and
poetry, and later even philosophers
and poets became reconciled to this
humiliation of the “God like” faculty
of man. Later farmers began to in¬
voke the intellect to insure success
and began to arouse themselves from
the lethargy of centuries, and to ask,
why so much progress In other lines
and so little on the farms. Farmers
are now combining in one enthusiastic
chase in a hot pursuit of knowledge.

w ITH a remarkable vogue in
black and white in ribbons and
straw shapes the liking for
flowers to provide color, fol¬
lows “as night the day..” But flowers
are everywhere used, whether the hat
is quiet or gay. A group of three mod¬
els shown here portray wliat may
truthfully be termed the three lead¬
ing ideal shapes and their popular and
tasteful trimming.
In Fig. I a French sailor with a
decided upward roll to the brim and
a low dome crown, is pictured. The
shape is in white chip, but any other
white braid will give good effects. The
bow across the back is of white satin
ribbon having a border of black velvet
ribbon stitched on one edge. The loops
are wired. There are four of them
making a wide double Alsatian bow,
extending across the back of the hat,
mounted against the crown.
Small, full blown garden roses
are massed over the crown, concealing
It, and a few glossy leaves peep out
about the Jbase, outlining the shape and
making a good finish.
One of the hats on the helmet order
is shown in Fig. 2, made of rough braid
in tones of bronze and purple. A
bronze velvet faces (he brim and is
laid in a flat plaited bow at. the left.

sleeves are cut in with the bodice and
are trimmed like edge of fronts to

sleevcn are of tucked ninon.

Linen for Needle Work.
Heavy gray linen is much used for
the background for embroideries
which are to be employed as house
decorations. Bedrooms and living
rooms for country houses are fur¬
nished in gray in many instances, and
the linen Is used for bed hangings,
cushion covers, tablecloths and win-
dow hangings. Ambitious needlewom¬
en are embroidering these articles in
quite elaborate designs in several col¬
ors. For one bedroc^i a set of hang
ings for the bed and window is being
made of the gray linen embroidered
with designs of wood teiries and fuch-
sias in tons of violet, green, pale yel-
low and fuchsias red.

purple facing, and cerise flowers, it la
very handsome. It is a good model Id
all black.
Shapes which flare off the face have
captivated many fancies and are apt
to lead all others for summer wear.
Fig. 3 shows a smooth straw in leg¬
horn color, in which the brim
droops abcut the head but lifts ab¬
ruptly at the front with a sharp turn
upward. Two bouquets of roses and
moss joined by a band of black velvet
ribbon, which extends about the
crown, make this a hat which will har¬
monize with almost any costume.
This shape is to be bad in many col¬
ors as well as black and white. It is
pretty in black hemp ov tagal, and in
good black chip will prove serviceable.
The color of the roses is a matter of
taste, which the wearer may settle to
suit herself.
HATBAG FOR THE TRAVELER
Simple and Easy Method That Will
Preserve the Much-Prized
Headgear.
The season for traveling Is once
more nearly upon us, and our hats, if
not broader, are higher than ever. Of
course you may ask the porter for a
paper bag to hold your hat on the
train. But how often will it fit?
Try, instead, laying the hat on a
sheet of stout brown paper, so as to
get the correct size. Then make the
paper into a large envelope by gather¬
ing the two sides in the middle and
pasting them down. Slit up the sides
about two inches and turn these down
to form the closed ends; but before
pasting them cut away the inner part
of the turned-up ends and snip the
corners to give a neat edge.
Do the same with the top of the big,
but, of course, do not paste down the
flap. Sew to each side of the bag
cord or plaited twine handles by
which to hold the bag. The whole
may be folded and tucked in a corner
of your suitcase.
Explosive Neckties.
There are several processes of manu¬
facturing artificial silk which are
based on the use of ordinary cellu¬
lose, reduced to a plastic condition so
that it may be drawn into threads.
These are woven into various forms
whose chief difference from, real silk,
to the eye, is that the material is
glossier.
All but one of these processes yield
a “silk” that is as safe as cotton. The
other employs nitro-cellulose, or sol¬
uble guncotton, from which the
threads are drawn In ether or alcohol.
After the thread has been drawn and
is ready for weaving it is supposed to
be denitrated. If it is, then it is en¬
tirely safe. Otherwise it may be ex-
ceedingly dangerous, for It then re*
mains nothing less than guncotton
spun into a fabric.
Small Girl's Hobble-Skirt.
There is apparently considerable di¬
versity of opinion as regards the cor¬
rect position for the belt on the small
girl’s frock. Many of the smartest
little French dresses show the sash in
practically normal place, while on
other frocks the belt is so far down
as to hamper the tiny wearer in her
walk almost as absurdly as does the
hobble skirt of the moment ' incon¬
venience her elders. The, abnormally
long-waisted effect obtained by plac¬
ing the belt almost at the hem of the
frock is charmingly quaint on some
children, but Is not becoming to every
type.—Harper’s Bazar.
The Boy’s Outfit.
Severity must mark the outfit for »
small boy. In the morning a Russian-
blouse suit of natural-colored linen,
worn with a wide patent-leather belt
is practical. To complete this dress
should be brown boots and stockings,
Low shoes and socks are fashionable
for all children, leather leggings be¬
ing worn out-of-doors until the weath
er Is really warm. This fashion should
not be kept up after the boy has grown
big, any more than he should be
forced to kaep to his knickerbockers
when he is tall enough to wear lor|
trousers.—Harper's Bazar.

“One moment, James.” the teacher
says. “What is the meaning of ‘Eu¬

" ‘Eureka’ means ‘I have found it.’
"Very well. What had Archimedes
