Weller (Associated Press Farm Editor) WASHINGTON lft Emergency focd and feed crops tht best known to the accumulated experience 01 three of the oldest bureaus In the department of agriculture have been brought Into the '.Immediate fore ground of Iho national drought-relief program. Recommendations to be followed ai soon as rain softens the heot liammcred fields and gardens Just have been formulated. They resulted from studies origi nally Instituted for the development cf means to forestall unnecessary de pletion of breeding stock where months of relentless sunshine had cut the prospective corn yield to 40 per cent of normal and burned up 70 per cent of the pasture Fifty VcniV Experience Dean of the collaborators, the bu reau of animal Industry, had SO years of history to turn to for suggestions. The bureau of dairy Industry, onco a part of tho animal Industry divi sion, had almost the same. The bureau of plnnt industry, or ganized In 1003. had rich experiences with effects of the 1001 drought from which to draw recommenda tions for food crops when the drought' s persistence endangered more than feed grains, rirat with the mnr( serl ous shortage of livestock feed, the bureaus recommended fall-sown pas tures, emergency hay crops and maxi mum use of roughages to get stock througn llie wimer hiiu r.uij op.ii.j,. i Winter wheat, rye and barley, they jsald. mako excellent late fall aiid 1 early spring pastures. I A 10-year experiment on the gov ernment farm at Beltsvllle, Md.. 'shows that an are of fulj-sown j wheat or barley will supply good grazing for 10 mature sheep for 27 ;days. Rye provides pasture for 18 days. .One advantago of rye Is that it is less likely to winter-kill. I In many localities these crops can bo grazed carefully In winter and early spring, then allowed to mature a grain crop. If properly managed, I grazing aids rather than Injures the i crop for use as a harvested cereal, j In the southern part of the corn Ibelt, and In the cotton belt, locally adapted varieties of rye make much more pasturage than northern-grown ! rye. j Corn stubble ground may be pre ! pared quickly and satisfactorily with a disk harrow. A little more seed may be planted than usual, and a ferll ; llzer applied, preferably one rich In i nitrogen, to induce quick and luxuri ant growtn.

W. Straus (Pres. American Socletyfor Thrift) i "It doesn't pay to worry about the : future. The things we dread seldom happen. It's better to take life as it iccmes and not burden ourselves with thoughts about the years ahead." ;ji There are many whose creed of life is something like this and it leads I them along a very treacherous and dangerous pathway. It doesn't pay to . 'wcrry. perhaps, from the standpoint i cf conjuring up imaginary woes or j misfortunes. But there is a great dif ference between worrying about the future and facing life's possibilities In a sensible manner. 1 i The Japanese have a proverb which itays: "Success and happiness are the ! beautiful flowers that spring from ' the plain brown bulbs of thrift and ! savings." The point of this talk on ! thrift is to point out the difference (between planting the honest bulbs of thrift and neglecting entirely to imake provision for the future, j Too many of use are apt to think cf thrift only in terms of plain, brown, unattractive bulbs, without ! thought of the beautiful flowers that jcrme from them. And the sequence of thrift and personal advancement Ms Just -as true as the sequence of ; bulb and lily. i To maintain that one can go 'through life with absolute disregard !fcr the fundamentals of rightful liv 'ing and prudent habits, and still con Itlnue to thrive is as false a doctrine las would be the suggestion that the i flowers could live and grow without i thn hnlta. Thero are varying standards 01 thrift, according to individual cir cumstances and conditions. But liv ing beyond one's means, squandering one's time, energies and health, and thinking only of present moments without plan or preparation for the later years, are practices that cannot jialt IO Dring unnajjpmvua n iuv rim.

Certainly the easiest way to get the most for every dollar you spend is to buy products that you know about through the advertisements in your daily paper. You don't have to go out and look for buying opportunities. The ad vertisements bring them to you. And all you need do is consider the facts, compare values and decide on the soap or the sedan that best fits your judgment and your pocketbook. Certainly the best way of making your money go farthest is to buy merchandise of proved value. Adver tised merchandise. Merchandise that is bought and used by many people. Merchandise that must be superlatively good enough for its maker to keep pall ing it to the attention of people day after clay and year after year. This is the service of convenience and profit that the advertisements offer you every day. It will pay you to read them regularly and take advantage of everything they can do for you. 3;
