Success iii handling either of the two vm leties of broom corn produced in the United States—Standard and Dwarf—depends to a large extent on proper care during the harvesting pe riod. Even with the most etticient sys tems of distribution it is impossible to overcome the handicap of an inferior product, snys the United States De partment of Agriculture in a new pub lication, Department Bulletin 1019, Marketing Broom Com, prepared by O.

Hi ti In One Instance It Was Discovered That 51 Per Cent of Land Was Farmed by Tenants—Federal Farm Loan Unknown. » A (Prepared by the United State* Department of Agriculture.) In making county and community programs of demonstrations and other extension activities for the year, ex tension agents in Oklahoma report to the United States Department of Ag riculture that the use of county census and assessor’s figures us a basis for determining the county's major agri cultural problems D proving very suc cessful: A meeting of the men and women from, each community is called each year by the county agricultural agent,lor the purpose of making a program for the year’s extension work. In- these meetings It has been found that these figures are of great sendee in showing agricultural conditions of the county in a concise and compre hensive way. In one Instance It was found that about 51 per cent of tfce county's agricultural land was farmed by tenants. Discussion brought out the fact that the federal funn ‘loan was practically unknown in the county and plans were made to conduct a campaign to bring the benefits of the loan to the attention of the communi ties as a poNslble means of aecuring a greater |tereentage of farm owner ship.

The occasion of (ch. 3). Mor- decai refused to bow down to Human whom the king had elevated to the place of prime minister and com manded that reverence should be shown him by all the princes and servants. In order to get rid of Mor- decai Hainan formulated a scheme and secured the king's endorsement to destroy all the Jews. 2. Fasting and mourning among the Jews (4:1-3). In their distress they sought the Lord. They did that which all those who believe In God had a right to do (Jaa. 5:13). II. Haman Checkmated (4:4-7:10). 1. Hint made known to Rather (vv. 4-8).

I didn’t dare eat any fruit and for four years If I even drank a glass’ of cold water I would suffer dreadfully. No one who didn’t see me can Imagine the awful condi tion I was in. ‘‘But Tnnlac changed all this and now I’m simply feeling fine. My ap petite Is splendid. I eat anything I want, have actually gained thirty-nine pounds ,and have so much strength and energy I easily do all my house work. Tanlac Is a Yvonderful medi cine."

Little Bobby Jones was told to write an essay on,“Door," and the effort which he sent in was,us follows: ‘‘Most houses have all the doors that they need, and no house Is com- I plete without at least one. * The two ! main difference* between a door and j ! a pile la: first, their opposite loca- i I lion; and, second, that fteople have much less resiiect for a gate, and j would rather kick It than knock on It.

Moot isskJc never notice the door What Is It Worth to Change a Tire? /; On the road changing a tire is not an especially pleasant task. The dust or mud, the grease and grime, the tedious delay—all are things we like to avoid. But the time to think about these things is when you buy the tire—not after the blow-out occurs. For some tiresblow out mu ch more easily than others. • Outward appearance counts for little. It is the material in the tire and the construction of it that determines its strength. Goodyear recognises these facts and all Goodyear Tires are made of long staple cotton. Take the 30 x 3# Cross Rib Clincher Tire here illus trated, for example. It is made of Egyptian and Arizona cotton, the fibres of which average inches long. Many 30 x 3>4 clincher tires are made of short staple cotton from inch to Ifi inches long. This means less strength and greater danger of blow-outs—more tire troubles. Yet this high grade guaranteed Goodyear Tire costs oply $10.95. You can buy some tires for even less than this but none with the fine materials and construction of this one. Can you afford to take a chance on more frequent tire troubles for the sake of the slightly lower price of cheaper tires?

C GhASS GROWH WITHOUT SEED Beat Strains Have Been Developed by Cutting Up Runners From Thrifty- Looking Spots. Many good turf cr«i*»»** flint ropm- tftioe by runm-rs have lost tbe habit of producing seed, and for thin reason the United Staten Department of Agrl- rtilture has been’ experimenting with the vegetative propagation of some of the most satisfactory strains of bent grasses. Better strains have been de veloped by finding spots in lawns and on golf courses where the turf was particular.y good, cutting up the run ners and planting these cuttings in in crease plots. Most of this work has been done In northern states, although some good strains <vf Bermuda grass have- been selected which give promise of value fn the South. - A number of , commercial growers have been working on these Improved grasses and trow-have cuttings for sale. Howevmv it~4s^o* ? dWe-f«ir a j>erson to improve his own lawn or for a golf club to Improve the turf on the course by selecting spots where* the grass is particularly good and growing the cut runners In rowsfn a garden or field.

Haman is compelled to exalt-JMordecai, and at the second fea&t the queen revealed his wicked treachery and he is ordered hanged on the gallows which he had prepared for Mordeeai. III.''The Jewa Delivered (chs. 8, 9). Hainan was dead, but the decree against the Jews still stood. Esther plead that It be reversed. Wldle It could not be reversed, through her infiuence another decree was sent out which In a large measure counter acted the first. The Jews everywhere were granted the privilege to defend themselves and destroy their enemies. The Parting of th* Ways.
