Attention is ill reeled to the, re sultfl of the Kxperlment Station at I'nion wit h peas and barley for stlatfc. This crop lias certain ad vantages over corn or sunflowers and is recommended for trials by fanners. 'archil observations should be noted on the comparative yield of these crops and llu effect of legumes, especially pens, on the fertility of the soil. Potatoes, Kvery farmer should ralno enough potntocK for home use and enough pot aloes shot i hi be raised In the county to supply local mar ket demands.

In some loca tions thn crop may possibly be profitable. Farmers interested In the crop are urged to plant small acreages until lh value of the crop la ascertained for each local ity In the county. The crop will likely do best on warm soils and in localities where late spring and early fall frosts are not preva lent. Hoy beans are not recom ir.ended at all. !

For dry land pasture crops in the wheat growing section of the county we believe that sweet clover will he the most profitable.

He has some suggestions to make for the Hollywood and Long Island producers. If the suggestions go unheeded, Mr Southeombe firmly expects to see Germany beat America in the mo vie business within five years. Here is Mr. Southeombc's advice to the movii magnates of America: "1. Great Britain Is tired of scenes in which hotel waiters am shot dead because the eggs are boiled too hard. -2. In Europe no right-thinking man ever goes out In a straw hat wilh evening dress. '3. We are tired of pictures '.showing a man hanging on a seaf- 4.

In order to belter cope with the labor situation we urge thnt every dairyman, ami farm flock- sheep owner with irrigated or non-.lrrl-gated land carefully consider the possibility of permanent pasture).
