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

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

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,

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.

Bv S. 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.
Unless the flowers of your success
!are rooted in the plain brown bulbs
cf thrift, the day of their passing is
1 sure to come. .'

THERE are no two ways about it! 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.
