If I have planted hope today in any
hopeles heart,
If someone’s load has lighter grown
because I did my part,
If haply I have caused a laugh that

And if tonight my name be named
where someone kneels to pray—
I claim my day has been well spent,
Not lived in vain. and am content.
If cup, or crust, or covering has been
dispensed by me,
If I have helped the weak to stand,
Or whrmly clasped some angry hand
Or if some lomely little child
Has known my comradeship and

now engaged in working out some
mehod of assisting the farmers in js- |
olated districts to market their farm-
products. The problem of the best
means and method to develop markets
for the products of the farms that are
somewhat removed from the cities
and the market centers is a big on~,
but plans that are now under way are
expected to aid materially during the
coming season.
With the source of sale for their
products established many farmers
will work for better quality and larg-
er production in their farm crops and
the aid that the Department of Agri-
culture can give in finding a market
for these products will mean much
more profit to the farmer for his la-
bors.
The market problem is one which
has the attention of the Uniter States
Government at the presnt time
through the bill introduced in Con-
gress by Senator Sheppard of Texas.
This bill provides for the establish-
tion to the alfalfa, which will do much
to prevent its being frozen out. Splen-
did success has been obtained from
sowing the above mixture at the rate
of twelve quarts per acre on espec-

is wise to grow a crop of Sixty-day
oats, or a crop of rye and as soon as
the grain is removed the ground is
plowed and thoroughly fitting by com-
pacting the soil and making a fine
seedbed on the top. No halfway prep-
aration will succeed here. The work
must be done right.
“We are using this alfalfa and tim-

timothy makes many fine roots near

ination for soil improvement. On the
soils of northwestern Pennsylvania
timothy is one of the most valuable

himself as a novelist before he took to
the lecture platform. He is one of a
select group of men who have brought
literary fame to the state of Indiana.
Mr. Kramer started out to be a cow-

of the new northwest. His fighting
spirit showed up later as editor of a
daily newspaper in cleaning out graft.
gambling and lawless saloons and the
like. Then, to put himself on official
record as a fighter he enlisted and be-
came an officer in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war. His books are “Hearts an
the Cross,” “Gayle Langford,” “The
Ci:le of Dawn,” “The Chrysalis’ and
“The Rugged Way.” His lecture sub-
