Another Talk on Seed Selection.
The time for preparation of the
1914 crop is here. One of the
first things to look after is seed.
Good seed pure seed and seed that
will come up when planted, s what
you want. If you selected your1
seed corn from the field, you are j
ff r un ite. Nov/ is the time to test!
the seed to see if they will give j
you a good stan'. The plan of
testing was discussed in a former 1
letter. Do riot fail to make the
test. Remember that after you.
plant the crop you are going to
cultivate the land just the same
whether you have a good stand or!
not. Every hill of corn that is;
missing will count against you at;
gathering time in the fall. It will j
not take much time or labor now to
test the seed.
If you did not select your seed
from the field, go to the crib now
and get the best ears and test
them. If you haven't good corn in
the c"ib, it is better to buy your
seed corn. If you buy it. I would
adyise you to get it in the ear. Yafu
can then see the character of the
corn. It will cost a little more,
but is worth the difference.
Also look well after your cotton
seed. The conditions last fall
were not favorable to good cotton
seed for planting. Doubtless some
of our farmers selected their cot
ton seed for planting but many did
not. There is almost sure to be
trouble in getting good planting
seed this spring.. Now is the time
to look after this. You may have
to send away for seed. If you do.;
be very cautious and make a thor- '
ough investigation to see where the
seed came from. Ascertain if they
came from a boll weevil district, or
from a section where they have
cotton diseases. Anthracnose is
becoming more prevailent in this
state and seed from sections where
that disesse prevails should be
avoided.
It is a good idea to test your cot
ton seed before you p’ant. Do not
plant several varieties. It is better
to confine yourself to one variety.
The fewer the better. If the farm
ers of a whole community would
club together and plant only one
variety and have it all ginned on
the same gin in the same way, they
would doubtless be able to sell
their cotton at a higher price, es
pecially if they had 500 or 1,000
bales.
Prepare the seed bed well.
When the seed bed is well pre
pared before planting, it will save
labor in culti-ating afterward.

Carter-Lee.
At the residence of the bride’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Lee, near Haile, La , at 2 o'clock
Sunday afternoon. January 18th.
Rev. N. O. Hornsby performed the
ceremony which united in mar
riage thei daughter. Miss Minnie,
to Mr. W. L. Carter, in the pres
ence of a number friends and rela
tives. The bride is a popular young
lady in the community and the
groom, who lives three miles w^st
of Huttig. one of ou' most pro
gressive farmers. The News joins
in extending them congratulations
and wishes for a happy married
life. j
Hhdt life Means to Me.
Life means to me a very sharp
race with time for happiness, which
consists in the exercise of ail those
faculties put most to use in the do
ing of best work.
The here and the now are all 1
can be sure of. and 1 must plan to
utilize every hour to the best ad
vantage. 1 want to.love and be
loved: I want to work and play; I
want to build the best 1 can with
the materials 1 have.
1 once told Mr. Maxim, when he
was complaining about something
gone awry. "If you are not happy
now, you never will be." He has
taken his revenge by springing this
sentence on me w enever I am
worrying or fretting, and it always
does me good. Since we cannot
control the past 1 do not believe in
regrets. We should use our mis
takes to shape the future, and to
day is the future of yesterday.
Most of us are too apt tc forget
to be thankful that we are alive and
wel1 and able to work. After all,1
what more can we ask? Who was
it that said. "Half the joy in life is 1
in little things taken on the run?"
To my mind the helpfullest little
aphorism I have ever seen is this;
one. which 1 keep always on the
wall of my own sanctum: "Find
your happiness in your work, for it
is the only real happiness you will
■ , t \ i
ever know.
It is in our work, more than any
thing else, that we are able to ex
i
press ourselves. This stiTl holds
true, even though by environment
our work may often be more re
stricted. more mechanical, less con
structive and less world-moving
than that of which we feel we are
worthy and capable.—Mary Hud
son Maxim.

For months the hens turned out
no eggs, and caused us much de- 1
spair: in yain we tried to pull their
legs - the henfruit wasn't there
And then the sinful storage men
began to make their hay; they
charged us seven kinds of yen for
: eggs put down last May. Whereat
! we rose in awful ire. the storage
men to roast; we talked of faggot
and of fire, and longed to see them
toast. “These soulless vampires."
so we cried, "would rob us left ar d
right! We can't have henfruit.
poached or fried the cost is out
of sight! They buy their eggs at
seven cents, it forty cents they
sell; oh, let's round up these wick- !
ed gents and lynch them for a!
spell!" Next year the crazy, oippy j
hens may lay to beat the band:I
you'll hear them cacklrg in their
pens throughout the bloom ng land.
And then the men with storage
eggs, who had good luck this year, i
will walk around on wabbly legs:
and shed the scalding tear. And
when we see these wretched jayt.
thus mourning, in the hole, we'll ■
pause to wish them better days, 'to
pity and condole. Walt Mason.

The greatest engineering wor! s
of the present days are undoubted
ly tnose connected with the re
moval of vast quantities of soil and
rock. The Panama canal, the
Catskill aqueduct and the many
other tunnels, excavations end
mines are the feats which arouse
popular enthusiasm. These would
not be possible if it were not for
the knowledge we have of power
ful explosives, and modern drilling
methods. It is interesting to note
that gunpowder as an explosive
agent was not us°d in mines in
Europe until a century and a half
after the discovery of America: it
was first used in Gernany. It is
only within the last fifty years that
mine excavations have been revo
lutionized by the development of
