I* is really astonishing how r.ihdi helpiuj information is avail al>I■:» to the farmer for the asking:. The United States Department of Agriculture is the fountain from which information trickles to the farm, family through the State De partment of Agriculture, Agricul tural Colleges. Extension Work ers. County and Home Agents, and Vocational Agricultural Teach ers. The thing for the rest of us to do is to increase the trickle unUl we have a steady flow of in formation to the farm, so that the farmer may become thoroughly saturated. Vv tlh this preliminary, the writ er would call attention to Farmers' Bulletin No. 1475, a recent issue, t ilint*- of the effect of crop rota tions on the soil. The summary given below from the bulletin mentioned will be fol lowed during the next few weeks by liberal quotations from the bul l-’t n for the especial consumption ef one-crop farmers. Crop rotation is the beginning of organized or business farming. “The Nation will have to depend open the cultivation of the soil for about one-third of its combined wheat, corn and oats produce; upon crop rotation for another third; and upon the use of manures and commercial fertilizers for the other third. •‘Crop rotation is nearly as ef fective as farm manure and com plete commercial fertilizers in maintaining and increasing- soil productivity, as based on experi mental yields of wheat, corn, and oats, taken collectively. When rotation and the use of i.z\ tilizers are practiced together the one practice adds to the bene fits of the other. \ The relative effectiveness of ro ta; ion, as* compared with fertiliz er:, on soils supplied with lime is practically 20 per cent higher than on acid soils. On soil.; long under cultivation highest yields arc possible only when rotation and the use of fer tilizers arc practiced together. In ictation of crops a farmer hi. at his command, ordinarily without any monetary cost to him, a means whereby lie can material ly increase the output of his land ami reduce acre costs. “A proper rotation is the basis of intensive farming and of prof itable utilization; it provides an effective means for meeting the or chirms of food production; it P'nniis of farming with livestock; it provider re -1 for the land, in ’’ai; leguminous and other reno vating. crops are alternated with those of an exhausting nature; it permits of clan cultivation and v.ecu control; and it creates other productive soil conditions. "(Top rotation is the beginning or organized or business farming-” A SCORE CARD OF 14 HEALTH RULES Since in teaching: health or any thing: else, it is important to be as simple, specific, and definite as possible, we are awarding- second prize of $10 to the Georgia sub scriber who sends us the following experience embodying a simple “score card” of health rules we thculd all do well to cut out and try to follow. Says this reader: “I have found better health by keeping these fourteen health rules: 3. Ventilate every room you oc 2. Wear hygienic clothing. 3. Live out of doors as much as possible. 4. Breathe deeply. ■ f>. Keep your weight up to the G. Avoid overeating of protein 7. Eat some hard, some raw, and some bulky foods each day. 5. Eat slowly and drink plenty 0. Evacuate thoroughly, fre quently, and regularly to avoid autointoxication. JO. Stand, sit, and walk erect. 1!. Do not allow poisons or in :'e< lions to enter the body. 12. Keep tongue, teeth, and gums rlc an. 12. Work, play, rest, and sleep in moderation anu in due relaxation to each other. 14. Keep a healthful'mental at titude. ‘’I have been living* by these health rules for more than a year. I have gained twenty pounds and feel stronger and happier than ever before. My weight is normal for the first time in my life. “Every person who is under weight should keep a health chart and score himself every day. Each rule counts five, except No. 0 and No. 11, which are most important and count 10 each, the total or the highest possible score being 75. Each day you will make only 2. 3, 4. or 0 on some of the rules. I kept a health chart every day for three months and my average wras 73, which is the same as 97 when scoring by a total of 100.” The score card plan re an excel lent one to follow. And if you pre fer a score card of 100 points in stead of one of 75, just count Nos. 9 and 11 for fourteen points each and all th eothers *ix points each. Alcohol in any form is, of course, one of ihe poisons that should not be allowed to enter the body under rule 11. and possibly nicotone. Cer tainly excessive quantities of nico tine or caffeine should be avoided under the prohibitions of rule 11, as wellas all patent medicines, since in taking them one is intro ducing drugs and possibly poisons into the system without knowing what the effects will be.—Clarence Poe, in The Progressive Farmer. A prominent New Orleans man aboard a ship leaving New York for Europe called the steward and asked: “Are we outside the twelve-mile limit?” The steward said they were. “Can I get anything I want— cocktails, whiskey, wine—anything without violating the law?” He was told that he could. “Then bring me a lemonade.” Vacancy For a Sky Pilot The boat was sinking. The cap tain reached up to the crowd of scared passengers. “Who among you can pray?” “I can,” answered the minster. “Then, pray mister,” ordered the skipper. “The rest of you put life- , preservers on; we’re one short. — Drexerd. A ton of alfalfa hay will remove about 80 pounds of lime from the soil which is one reason why land intended for the crop should' be well limed. The Six Months Teachers Meet Truck Drivers Also In Ses sion; Austin’s Store En tertains Teachers of County j More than a hundred six months i school teachers met at the court house here Saturday preliminary to the opening: of the six months schools in the county yesterday. Talks were made by Supt. H. B. Marrow and Miss Mary E. Wells, rural supervisor, relative to the work of the year. In the afternoon the county su perintendent met with the truck drivers of the county in the inter est of making the trucks as safe as possible. The drivers were in structed to drive carefully, cer tainly not exceeding fifteen miles per hour. They were urged to stop at all railroad crossings and to look both ways for a train. They were given instruction regarding the parking* of trucks on school grounds, being told not to park so that in starting it would be necessary to back the truck. The principals of the schools will give special instruction to pupils con cerning behavior on the school trucks. The school manager in holding this conference with the truck drivers is doing something calculated to prevent accidents. In considering the up-keep of the trucks, it was clearly demonstrat ed that the central garage plan is very much more economical than 1 patronizing* garages all over the county. The six month teachers, to gether with every teacher in John- * ston, were invited by the Austin | Department Store to be their guests at a luncheon at noon Sat- ,r urday. This repast was served on ! the second floor of the Austin De- 1 partment Store which was attrac- | tively decorated with smilax and / yellow chrysanthemums. A menu ; consisting of sliced country ham, I1 chicken salad sandwiches, pimento sandwiches, pickles, bread, hot I coffee with whipped cream, was' served. Those assisting the store *J personnel in serving were: Mrs. I W. H. Austin, Mrs. W. S. Stevens, I Mrs. E. F. Boyett, little Misses Marcia Boddie Stevens and Mar- ^ garet Baker. The teachers apprec iated tliis courtesy of the Austin W. |\ AY COCK .ludjre Recorder’s Court i i Residence Burned In Bentonville Mr. R. W. Smith Loses Valued at $6000; Had Only $2500 Insurance Mr. R. W. Smith who lives one mile south of the village of Ben tonville, had the misfortune early on last Saturday morning of los ing* his residence by fire. Fire was discovered in the early morning hours, and it is thought it originated from a defective ilue in the kitchen. Mr. Smith and his neighbors were unable to curb the fire, and only a small part of his household effects were saved. This house was built in 1918 by Mr. K. L. Rose. It was easily one of the best houses in Benton ville township and was worth about SG,000. Mr. Smith had insurance amounting to only $2,500. WHEN THE FROST IS ON THE PUNK IN W Wen the frost is on ..he punkin and the fodder’s in the shock And you hear the kyouck and gob ble of the strutting turkey cock And the clacking of the guineas anu the clucking of the hens, And the rooster’s *ha'ly looyer as he tiptoes on the fence; O. it's then’s the times a feller is l ■ a feeling at his best, With the rising sun to greet bin from a peaceful night of rest, As he leaves the house bareheaded and goes out to feed the stock, When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder’s in the shock. They’s something kinder hearty like about the atmosphere When the heat of summer’s ovei and the coolin’ fall is here_ Of course we miss the flowers, anc the blossoms on the trees, And the mumble of the hummirn birds and buzzin’ of the bees; But the air’s so appetizin’; and the landscape through the haze Is a pictur’ that no painter has the colorin’ to mock— When the frost is on the punkin and the fodder’s in the shock. I hi' husky, rusty rustic of the tos sds of the corn, And the raspin’ of the tangled ^ leaves, as golden as the morn; d he stubble in the furries—kindo’ lonesome like, but still A-preaehin’ sermons to us of the barns they growed to fill; The strawbeeks in the medder, and the reaper in the shed; The bosses in their stalls below— the clover overhead!— 1), it sets my head a-clickin’ like the tickin’ of a clock, 'Vhon the frost is on the punkin aim the fodder’s in the shock! 1'hcn your apples all is gathered, and the ones a feller keeps s poured around the cellar-floor in rod and yeller heaps; ^nd your cider-makin’s over, and your rvimmen-folks is through ■Vith their mince and applebutter, and the’r souse and sausage, too! don’t know how to tell it—but if such a thing could be Vs thf Angels wantin’ boardin’ and they’d call around on me, ’d want to ‘commodate’ ‘em—all the whole indurin’ flock— Vhen the frost is on the punkin an,] the fodder’s on the shock! — Janies Whitcomb Riley, FAMOI K ROSE DIAMOND TAKEN BY DARING BAND Chantilly, France, Oct. 30.—The famous Rose diamond known as ‘'the grandconde” and valued at more than $2,000,000, was the most precious of a number of priceless treasures stolen this morning from the Chateua of the Due D’Aumale one one the national museums of A daring hand of thieves, con sisting of at least four men, scal ed the high walls of the castle grounds with the aid of two lad ders, crossing a moat and climbed up to the famous “room of gems” from which they looted precious stones and historical ornaments. The intristic value of the objects 'stolen has been placed as'high as 100,000,000 francs, while their val ue as relics of a bygone age are beyond calculation. Beside the Rose diamond, the thieves took two gorgeous ‘diam ond studded daggers, one of which belonged to Abd-El-Kader and the other to the bey of Tunis; a cross of the Legion of Honor which Na poleon I gave to General Aynard in 1809, several bracelets, one bearing the portrait of the queen of the Belgians by a famous ar tist and another bearing* a cameo of Francis I. emperor of Austria, and several watches and decorated candy boxes, n^o^t of them the work of celebrated artists of the 17th and 18th centuries. i S' A Message to Rural Roys. Recaling the ftecent passing of Dr. Charles W. Eliot, long presi dent^ of Harvard! University, at f the ripe old age of 1)2 years, the Progressive Farmer reproduces a message whiclyDr. Eliot some time ago centra farm boys. The message is worthy of the serious consideration of boys and we are passing* it along to the boy read ers of The Dispatch. Here is Dr. Eliot’s message: “It is a promise of success in life if a boy learns by the time he is twelve years old to use his ;eyes. ears, and hands, accurately; that is, if he learns to see things exactly as they are, to hear the ivarious sounds of nature and art iwith precision and enjoyment, and to touch or handle things deftly and effectively whether at work |or at play. j is another good sign if a boy works hard while he works and plays hard while he plays, and tries both at work and at play to j take a hearty part in ‘team play.’ “It is another good sign if a boy keeps his senses and his mind on the alent, watchful to do a serviceable deed or to perform a kind act. “Again the promising boy will be on the alert for new sugges tions, nejv lessons, and new ob jects of interest. He will not be content merely to follow the beat en path; he will wish to explore, discover, and invent. “I advise all boys, on farms and in villages to join the Boy Scouts if that organization has been es tablished in their neighborhood, and to pass the tests and exami nations in their order, at the ap propriate ages. Finally, it is the diligent, cheerful and honest boy who wins success.”Dunn Dispatch. \ i v l •, i * i 1 i « ! V % h? • t Vicarious Triumph Was your garden a success this year?” “I should' say so.
