Thanking You With a Warm Heart, I Am Yours for Business Jo ALIEN MYERS 5 tfi ifi SUGGESTIONS TO FARMERS President Exall of Texas Industrial Congress Tells How to Cul tivate Crops. We surest that you do not Lave your croji too thick. One good stalk of torn or cotton will produce more than two poor stalks. When your corn is fifteen Inches hlsh the small hair like roots will almost meet lietween the rows. You should therefore culti vate as nearly level as pogsihle. If you go deeier than two Inches you will cut thousands of these roots and greatly damage your crop. I'se a sweep or a very short toothed har row that is narrow emmgh to go well between the rows. Pull up nil weak plants, and destroy all sucker3 and weeds. These parasites suck the life blood from the plant, just as vermin do from livestock. Plants like animals must have bal anced ration with an abundance of nutritious food, if you expect the best result?. The larger the plant, the more food It will need to assist It in its life work of producing and perfecting its crop. It Is a very great mistake to lay by and leave the crop when it 1b one-half or two-thirds grown, and allow It to live on short rations, fight dry weather, suckers and weeds at the most vital period In its career. To get the best and most profitable results, shallow mulch cultivation should continue until the grain and cotton are fully matured. If It is pos elblo to do so well-rotted manure, cot tonseed meal or any other good fertil' Izers that are easily soluble should be spread between the rows of corn and cotton, and worked Into the soft top mulch a short time before the crop begins to fruit. A cottonseed planter with fertilizer attachment set to run very shallow does this work fairly well, or you can do it by hand. If you can not apply these fertilizers you certainly can destroy the suckers, weeds and weak plants, and by con stant shallow mulch cultivation keep the earth from cracking and thereby conserve the moisture, warding off to a great extent the damaging effects of hot winds and a dry season. The dryer It is, the more unpromising things seem to bo, the greater neces sity for constant work. Keep the weed3 down, suckers out, the top of the earth soft, and you will raise a crop any way. Guard against damage to land from washing by terracing and contour plowing, going around rather than up and down a slope. HENRY EXALL, President Texas Industrial Congress.

FOSTER'S fflTjER BULLETIN Washing'on, April 2D. "(Copyright ed, Hill, by W. T. Foster.) Last bul letin gave forecasts of disturbance to cross continent April, 27 to May 31, warm wave April 26 to 30, cool wave April 2!i to May 3. This Is expected to ho one of the most important dis turbances of the year, covering a pe riod of ten days, including April 27, to May C. No very definite forecast can be made of that period. These great disturbances will be of such immense force that our experience with them has not yet enabled us to forecast them in detail and particulars. About all that can be safely said is to advise all to be on the lookout for bad and dangerous weather events. This great disturbance, broke loose a little earlier than expected and earthquakes occurred in Italy on April 10 and disastrous storms at St. Louis and further west on April 12 and 13. These premature ' storms and earth quakes ma relieve the tension and lessen the force of those expected April 27 to May 6. Next disturbance will reach Pacific coast about May 2, cross Pacific slope by close of 3d, great central valleys 4th to 6th, Eastern sections 7th. Warm wave will cross Pacific slope about May 2, great central valleys 4th, Eastern sections 6th. Cool wave will cross Pacific slope about May 5, great central valleys 7th, Eastern sections 9th. This disturbance will include a pe riod of notable weather events. The storm forces will be so strong that it will be beyond any art to gfve definite advice as to the places where and the hours when they will strike. It is not a pleasure, but I feel it to be a doty to warn all that destructive storms are more than ' probable as this dis turbance crosses the continent. If my forecasts extended to countries where earthquakes are somewhat frequent I would urge all to be on the lookout for such during the dates assigned to this storm period. Temperatures for this storm period are expected to av erage above normal, but its closing hours will bring a great drop in the thermometers. Third disturbance of May will reach Pacific coast about Sth, cross Pacific slope by close of 9th, great central valleys 10th to 12th, Eastern sections 13th. Warm wave will cross Pacific slope about May 8, great central val leys 10th, Eastern sections 12th. Cool wave will cross Pacific slope about May 11, great central .valleys 13th, Eastern sections 15th. The salient features of this storm wave will be the closing out of the severe storms and the unusually cool weather. Its temperatures will aver age much below normal and frosis are expected to go further south than usual. Its weather events will be somewhat radical, but not dangerous. Rainfall will be in excess In' some Eastern sections near parallel 3S. Gen eral trend of temperatures will be downward till after middle of May. Science Notes. The National Academy of Sciences held Its annual session In Washington, April 1S-21. The most interesting event was a lecture delivered by Sir John Murray, of Scotland. For several years he has been the director of the ship Challenger investigating condi tions in the ocean depths. His re searches have. revealed the immensity of animal and vegetable life from Its surface to its vast depressions, some of which are nearly six miles in depfh. He showed that the great permanent high barometers, where the atmos pheric movements are circular, down, ward and cool, are over the deep parts of the oceans, and that the ac cumulations of matter in these great depressions the filling up of these great holes is exceedingly slow. He differed with the national weath er bureau theories and claimed that the circular motion of waters in the five great oceans is caused by the at mospheric circulations, while the weather bureau officials claim that it j is the circular movements of the great ocean waters that cause the atmos pheric circular motions of the per manent highs over the oceans.

I was so bad I had to be carred on and off the train and had to be carried to my first bath. In three days I was able to discard my crutches and the pain was very much better. From then on I continued to get better until after two weeks I was able to go home a well man. ' I should be glad to advise anyone in my condition to go to Marlin. Yours truly, i (Signed) L. C.

When a jury In Judge Huneke's department of the Spokane county suierior court said in a verdict that the skirt of a $75 suit, built for Elsie Spangenberg by Madame Campbell, did not fit, a precedent was established. The Jurors also awarded damages to the extent of $73 to the plaintiff and held the modiste for the costs of the trial, a matter of more than $100. Miss Spangenberg donned the of fending garment several times during the hearing, while a score of tailors, drapers, dressmakers and employes of suit houses testified for and against the defendant. Counsel for the defense is not satisfied with the verdict and will appeal to the supreme court of the state of Washington. Meanwhile, Miss Spangenberg Is being lionized for ber pluck In fighting the case. As published in The Eagle some time ago, Mr. E.J. McGuirk, of Calvert, made a visit to Bryan to investigate the workings of the local Commer cial Club, in order to secure data that would help in the organization of a similar club In Calvert.

Marlin Commercial Club, Marlin, Texas: " Gentlemen I have been a sufferer from chronic rheumatism for more than a year, gradually growing worse until finally I -was so tad' I could not tnrn over In my bed without someone ! W7hen you get that grouchy feeling, stop and think how glad you are that you live in Bryan. The sunny side Is made by the sun shine of joy, which is laughter. A kind word and a merry laugh float into the souls of men like sun beams and bring light into the shad ows. A sure remedy to use when you take a hand In another's business is broth, hot water drinks and a mush poultice, eaten off the mantelpiece. When the calf gets in the garden, and the cow eats up the corn; When you stay in the field till one o'clock, not Bearing the dinner horn, Don't fuss and cuss and worry, but Im happy all the while; Wipe the sweat from off your fore head and smile a six-inch smile. When Beck kicks out of the traces and rakes you on the shin, And it's just about the time of year when the boll weevils begin, Don't fuss and fume and worry In pessimistic style; Just sit right down and rest awhile, and smile that six-inch smile. It's easy to be happy and smile in stead of frown; You can be the lolliest euv of il within this jolly town. So doff the cloak of sorrow, don the robe of Joy awhile; Shake hands with everyone you meet, and smile that six-inch smile! A f i it
