William Wordswortn says something in one*
of his poems about the "still sad music of hu-
manity.’’ Many men have felt that there is in the
stream of human history a deep underlying tinge
‘ of sadness and there is considerable evidence to
support such a view.
In the opinion of the writer, “his melancholy
strain is compounded of a brooding on the mys-
teries of life and death and immortality and of
what Bobbie Burns calls “man’s inhumanity to
man.”
Jesus offers a remedy to those who are sad-
dened and weighted down by the burdens of life:
- "Come unto me all ye who are weary and heavy
laden and I will give you rest.”

Late summer weeds — gum

other tribes of worthless plants
which shade the grass and reb it

if reasoning is it, that allows the
weeds to rob the pastures while
fighting them to the last ditch in
the fields?
As a matter of fact the same
amount of labor and time de-
voted to improving the pastures
and the care of the livestock to
graze them is paying many farm-
ers more th time in the fields.
A mower will kill a milion weeds
while a hoe is killing hundreds,
and a man and team can cover
several acres with a mower in the
time necessary to hoe an acre
of row crops. If we Southerners
were as lazy as some of our ’
northern critics think us, we
would be using more mowers and
fewer hoes!
It takes a good mower in good -
condition to cut hay, especially
of the finer grasses. A good mow-
er is desirable of course, for any

Just as weeds come into full
flower is the best time to mow
the pasture, but since there may
be several species, which do not
all mature at the same time, the
practical thing to do is to mow
whenever time can be spared for
it rather than not mow at all,
even if some weeds are not far
enough advanced and others have
already made seed. There is still
time for the grass to derive a
great deal of benefit this fall
from the destruction of its weed

I wish every farm operator in
the Southwest could see the re-
sults of pasture mowing, as it is
practiced by their fellow-farmers
under all conditions. It is not as

patch, but thousands who have

provement that .good pastures

The weed crop is not tolerated
in the cotton field, and we spend
hours and days of sweaty labor
plowing, and hoeing to give the -
cotton all the soil fertility and

permits the weeds to "take" his reason than the occasional mow-
cotton is looked upon as shift- ing which gives the grass a chance
less, and gets little sympathy to do its best. What the highway

Nowadays with increasing frequency
one hears these new-type Horatio Alger

There is hardly a community •
in which one or more farmers are

mowing as a means of increasing
pasture profits. If it isn't being

The "Dreyfus case" is that of Oberlin M. Car-
ter, one-time captain of engineers, top-ranking
man in his class at West Point. In pre-Spanish
war days he was engineer of a harbor improve-
ment project at Savannah, Ga., out of which
grew a scandal and a court martial that sent
- him to imprisonment in Leavenworth.
He was tried in 1898. Scarcely a year has
passed since tnat he has not pressed a case in
court, or, more recently, in congress to have the
stain removed from” his record. It has never
been The rush of the final hours of congress
made it impossible to take up the bill which,
year after year, has been introduced to clear Car-
ter’s record. It will be investigated another
summer and hearings will be held again, perhaps
next winter. But meantime, Carter is getting
older—he’s in his eighties.
The story really begins at West Point. Car-
ter was No. 1 in his class and set a record for
scholarship and attainment which his friends say
surpassed that of Robert E. Lee. Second in his
class under Carter was George Goethals, who
later rose to fame as the builder of the Panama
canal.
