Address all communications to The Enterprise FARMING TO BECOME MORE PROFITABLE This world's no hlot for us, nor blank; it means intensely, and meant. good.—Robert Browning. -r- H> G. A. CARD WELL While the writer does not claim to be a prophet or the son of a prophet, he advances the _.view that the well informed, energetic, careful-of-details fanner of the future is going to find farming a much more profitable busi ness than it has been in the past. If there was no other reason for t.fkin gthis optimistic view, farm a bandonment figures recently published by the Bureau of the Census would seemingly justify this conclusion. The census report shows that 75,1)00 farms throughout the country have been -a bandoned since 1920. This falling off is referred to as "a very grave prob lem,"«and is attributed mainly to the ravages of othe boil weevil in some of the Cotton states, the migration of farm workers, a succession of seasons in parts i>f the Northwest, the consolidation of farms, and a gen eral recession from the war-time ex pansion in agriculture, which still per fisted in 1920. Instead of presenting a very grave problem in other than certain locali ties, the writer thinks the condition relei red to—that is, the drift of far mers much, farm labor to indus trial cities and towns to share in in dustriar prosperity, or at least to re ceive good wages, will have the ef fort of improving the chances of the man who sticks to i.he farm. The na tion must have farms to support its rapidly expanding industrial cities; these farms will not continue unless they afford a good living. However, the to-be-successful farm er can not be lazy on the job, and , ( he must avoid temporary measures if he is to produce crops economically; he, must build his soil for maximum production at a minimum expense, a dopting a long-time program of soil building and crop rotation. A good - ' from farming when the soil is kept in good condition and a "live-at-home" or "mixed farming" program is put into effect. •• •- Carefully worked out "mixed farm ing" programs have been regularly ad- One Solid Car Load of Crockery § Any Thing in Dishes ~~ Get Our Prices Before You Buy Jf G. W. Blount & Company i : : . | vocated, year after year, particularly since the advent of the Mexican cot ton-boll weevil, and some progress has been made, but the progress has not been general. Now that the crops have been har vested, most farmers have some ready cash on hand or in the bank; ' this is, therefore, a good time to start r some of the things suggested in the following "live-at-home" program: 1 1. Raise enough corn and hay. so that you will not have to buy com or hay during the year. 2. Make enough meat to supply the family and, for good measure, have some for sale. . 3. Furnish your table with vege tables from a 12-months in the year garden. 4. Provide the family with sufficient I quantities of milk and butter, with | out having to buy it. 5. Keep an average of at least 30 hens the year through; you should have more to enable you to join with your neighbors in shipping car lots of poultry. 6. Improve the orchard. Set out some apple, peach, pear, cherry, or pecan trees, and plant some small fruits and berries. 7. Enrich your lands by planting velve beans, soy beans, or cow peas in at least half of the corn; and clover or vetch with rye or oats, with or af ter half of the other crops. 8. Enroll one or more children in club work, pig, corn, poultry, home economic clubs, etc. 9. Add some home convenience, such fcs running water, electric lights, washing machine, oil stove, kitchen cabinet, and other things that will lessen the burden of house keeping. 10. Beautify the homestead ' by painting the house or make base plant ings of shrubs about the house to fur nish a setting, and plant flowering tiees, such as crepe myrtle, mimosa, magnolia, dogwood, or plant a lawn. After starting these things or least some of them, get your neighbors to join with you in organising a com munity fanners club, to meet at least once each month for the purpose of exchanging ideas, experiences, and for general educational and social pur poses. Mr. Cotton, Toabcco, and Peanut Farmer, enter Into a contract with yourself to do the things suggested a- bove or least most of them, and see if your business is not in better con ) dition next fall than ever before. Do not stop on one year, however, thould things go wrong; stick to the program ! and in time you will find it will pay big dividends. i r DEFENSE OF THE FLAPPER So much is being said these days | about the flapper that there seems to | be a growing prejudice and disrespect j for womanhood. Certainly we have ! to admit that woman in her great de sire to be attractive has become some what extreme and often indiscreet Yet it can not be counted as a reflec tion on the honor of the sex. We have to admit that high dresses sometimes, ' cause people to misjudge, and the ' deep lines of the paint brush on the 3 lip and cheeks sometimes make us k judge harshly. All of these things should be avoided, because they do ■ not help, and may hinder the better parts of our life. Yet the man who throws his hands up in holy horror and condemns all short-dresscN women to perdition and would cast eiery ruby-lipped girl into ' outer darkness is going a long way in his judgment On the other some articles of men's apparel display less brain ■ on the part of the wearers than any o£ the styles of women. The big-leg pants now worn by some young men are more evidence of mental weakness than the short skirts worn by .their sisters. The short skirts may have some convenience and is certainly more sanitary than the old street sweeping skirts in the "decent" days of old, which can not offer for sani tation, economy, beauty, nor freedom. Then the golf-legged fellows would be unother class of men who would not have a legitimate reason for criticiz ing their sisters for wearing short skirts. Treat Colds Externally For sore throat, bronchitis or deep , chest colds, rub Vicks Vapoßub briskly over throat and chest and cover with warm flannel. Vicks acts in two ways—both direct: mktorbtd like a liniment and inhmUd as a vapor. A quick relief for the cold troubles of all the family.
