C. s Branson, "is enormous, but its t wealth-holding power is feeble. Our v . great problem is not only to produce a wealth but to retain it" Seriously t r he Farmer 11 is our farmers should consider this itatement at any crop-marketing sea;on, it now deserves tenfold greater imphasis than usual. During the Pc iext few weeks hundreds and hun- fo Ireds of millions of dollars will be ar )aid out to the Southern farmer for 'the garnered largess of the fruitful year.' The question is how many J 1 ?V.? wnll Vflon fni1 lunureu jiujuuhs jic ?m limself and his family. The question C s whether he is going to save or will * igain exemplify Dr. Seaman A. inapp's saying that the Southern nan "seems to have a weakness for If etting money slip through his finders." We have made this appeal once jefore on this page, but the oppor- p ;unity this year is so remarkable, so znusual, so unprecedented, that we :annot refrain from making it again Sight now at the virtual beginning >f the crop-selling season we want ivery Southern farmer to register a b row before Heaven that he is going is ;o save some money?that he is go- a ng to make at least a start toward ^ ;hrift and independence. First of all let us say a word to ;he man who has been a slave of the B 6 :rop lien and "time prices." For ? rou, at least, the year of jubilee has j, :ome. For you, at last, there is an tl 'mancipation proclamation. Resolve o low that you are going to put aside e mough money so that you can pay h :ash for your supplies next year. ^ Don't neglect this nest-egg of inde- fl jendence. Don't let any slick-ton- ^ J i. 1." ?W1, JUCU uavcilll^ a^Cllb) OIIJT *T*IJ WV>A.?*9 iny over-persuading merchant, inveigle you into spending this money. rool it away on something you might jet along without and you will lanent too late that you have swapped rour birthright for a mess of potage. Don't do it. Put the money n a savings bank and keep it there >r else put it in a horse or implenents that will both enable you to nake a bigger crop next year and vill constitute security on which you :an borrow at 6 to 8 per cent, interist, instead of paying 40 to 80 per :ent. a year in the form of "time . >rices." This year at least, with ligh prices for all we sell and a liveit-home policy demanded by every :ircumstance, we ought to bury the a 'crop lien and time-prices system" tl ;o deep that even Gabriel's trumpet J vill not revive it. n Then there is the farmer who has v >een running himself but owns no 8 and. This is his chance to become c f' l home-owner. Let him either buy and now or put enough aside to ? nake sure that he will at least soon ^ it under his own vine and fig tree. AnH tVicm mnrp rapll-tn-rin farm iwner; there is the call for pure?red livestock; for better farm mahinery and equipment; for a better esidence and better barns perhaps^ ai md at least for "paint, lights, and t waterworks"?a subject on which la ve shall have more to say next b* aonth. | fc Let's save for all these things and o make 1917 memorable as "the rear that brought freedom" to tens f? f thousands of farmers from the & ^tomac to the Rio Grande.?The pj Progressive Farmer. hi ?r tt FERTILIZER FOR WHEAT. ti ai w "What kind of fertilizer and how ^ nuch per acre should I use on fairly r8 ertile, sandy loam soil for wheat? 0j Vhat is the best variety for this secion? H What fertilizer I would use will lepend on the previous treatment of ^ he land. If the land was in peas, or instance, I would mow the peas or hay and then disk the stubble as ine as possible and get the surface oil fine but not replowed deeply, and ^ vould harrow in 400 pounds an acre >f acid phosphate. If no peas are >n the land I would make the fertil- ^ zer one-third cottonseed meal and ^ wo-thirds acid phosphate, or on p ;hin land equal amounts of the two. tl iVhat is fully as important as fertil- tl zer is the early preparation of the st toil so that it can be fined and well P settled before sowing. Up in the jeautiful wheat-growing section of ? he northern end of this peninsula n Maryland and Delaware the farm- ^ srs usually sow a fallow field in vheat, generally a clover sod, and i? mother field after corn. Riding hrough that section the first of Au- ^ ruse, I found that the fallow land lad been plowed and heavy teams vere disking and harrowing and keeping down all weed growth, and >y seeding time the surface will be m is fine as it can be made and the 1? ower plowing well settled and pack- ^ d. That is the way they get 35 to J5' 0 bushels of wheat an acre. The ? orn is cut off and shocked and the Ql oil fined with disk and harrow and sl he wheat drilled. Always sow wheat nth a drill, and sow in your section sl fter one good white frost to -.'tJjt t?i he Hessian fly.

Hitherto, when corn has been cheap ad abundant, it has been used eo ex (naively for feeding to hogs that there; a widespread notion that it Is the 2St feed.

When 1r the M-rlnslvf* era in feed, breedine :ock are not as prolific as on a varied ttion and for fattening purposes en ccluslve corn diet is not generally , rofltable.

To ild the movement la economy of leath;r, the clerks discarded their shoes. Scores of barefooted individuals were ieen on the principal streets gingerly stepping along and saving their,tender 'eet as much as possible. Berlin's shoe jtores are now selling wooden sandals, :he only leather being In toe guards." In the News there was an Interview vlth Dr. Joseph Ames of Hopkins, who las Just returned from the front on government business, having been sent :here as a member of the national research council, (furiously enough, Doctor Ames saw btit one sign of weakening In Germany, and that, he said, f?as shoe leather. To quote from the ntervlew: 'T saw thousands of German prls)ners while I was in France, and In lone was there the slightest further sign of want or privation except?shoes. rbey all wore shoes that were in bad jhdfce, and that, you know, is a thoroughly good sign, l'or a badly shod irmy is a half-crippled army." It may be pnt down as certain that the army is the hist to be deprived either of food or of clothes and shoes, [n war the needs of the people at home must yield to the necessities of the men at the front An army wlthont shoes is in a bad way. The dispatch ind Doctor Ames' account of what he saw with hi# own eyes are interesting as indications that Germany is having troubles of her own and, doubtless, a ?reat many more of them than we know anything of. DAY OF THE RIFLE NOT OVER i Is 8tlfl Valuable In Warfare, Despite Advent of Machine Gun, Hand Grenade and 01 Jier Weapons. The overwhelming position In the war picture occupied! by the big guns, the machine guns and Lewis guns, the Importance of trench mortars, hand grenades, bombs, rifle grenades, and other accessories of trench warfare, make some men think that the day of the rifle as an Important adjunct to success In battle is well-nigh past. Such is not the case, declares Frederic Coleman In the Saturday Evening Post. Those of us who can remember the brave advances of the Prussian Guard at Ypres, when they marched In battalion formation right up the Menin road, straight at our trenches ?on one occasion, 11! not more, marching to almost sure cleath at the goose step?knew the value of accurate, rapid rifle fire. So do these Prussian guardsmen, If any of them are still alive. Not many of them were left irhon thft hrnlran nriivaa fit <rrov trar* swept back, like leaves by an autumn wind. The rifles did most of It. Machine guns we had, to be uure, but woefully few of them. Those that we had were overworked to a point that made 08 wonder, not when they Jammed, but when they worked long without jamming. The rifle, In the hands of a man who can shoot straight and shoot with great rapidity,^ is a. wicked weapon still; and the value of cold steel, though It Is not a subject on which men who have seen. It used love to dwell, has not, so far as I can see, changed greatly, if at all, In the threeI years of grim war In Europe. Savod Napoleon*# Heart So the American military leaders have been visiting Napoleon's tomb, renarks the London Chronicle. Did they, one wonders, hear the story of tils heart, which thu tomb incloses? Dn the night that he died his body was Ewepared for embalming and the heart tvas placed in water in a silver ewer, in Irish soldier who loved Napoleon jat np with his old muzzle-loader to ?uerd the body, for Longwood swarmed with rats. In the midst of tils vigil he heard a splash In the ?wer. He fired, Just ln time to save the heart from the vile rodents which were dragging It away. Americans mew that sentry's grandson, Sir Ariur Sullivan, and loved his music. Mice Overrunning Australia. Mice by the million are overrunning t large part of Australia.

HILL, PROTECT STOCK FROM FLIES Best Way Is to "Swat the Fly" Befon He Is Born?Do Not Encourage Breeding Place*. There la probably nothing that wil keep flies away from live stock, to th< extent that they will not be more o less Irritated by them. Most of the coal tar products uset for "dlDs" to kill external Darasltes are useful when used over the bods well diluted, and applied from a spra; pump. Oil of tar or pine tar cai often be used to advantage In pro tectlng places that have become sort from Irritation of flies. The following mixture has usuall; given as much satisfaction as an: other: Synthetic oil of sassafras, fou ounces; lard, or neatsfoot oil, tw< pints, and crude petroleum enough t< make one gallon. This will cos about $1 a gallon. A less expensive mixture and on that will not need to be -applied a often as the other Is as follows: Flsl oil 100 parts; oil of tar 50 parts an< crude carbolic acid 1 part The best way to "swat the fly* 1 before he Is born. Allowing piles o manure to accumulate in the stable and yards, for flies to breed in, am then applying some kind of "dope to keep flies away from the animals is inconsistent to say the least WORMS IN CABBAGE "PLANT! Destructive Enemy of Various Crop Continues Havoc All Season? Sprays Are Favored. Cabbage worms, the most destine tlve insect enemy of cabbage, caul] flower and related crops contlnu their havoc until the crop Is hai vested. Spraying with a pound of pai Is green In 50 gallons of water, or fou pounds of arsenate of lead In 5 gallons of water, with two pounds dli solved soap as a spreader and stlckei will kill the worms. This Is use whenever the worms are numerou up to the time the heads are hal formed. After heading begins, one pax pyrethrum to four parts fine lime c flour Is preferable. This may b dusted over Infested plants once week when the leaves are wet wit dew or rain. A fine material Ilk road dust, lime or flour stops up th breathing pores of cabbage worm: Often It Is used alone as a mean* c control.
