HAT is Dr„ Webster's definition, Many of us know the word only in its war -time application. Webster dwells firstly upon the usage of the word "morale" as applied to the commonplace happenings of every -day life. His allusion to its reference to ain army Centea later. And Webster is corred—rmenculously so. It was their private -life morale that made such splendid soldiers of our boys when the time came for them to den the khaki, It Wee that, and that atone, that made them take the first itep, and it was thatwhich carried them through to victory. If their every -day morale had been neglected, the Army could have done, little with them and success would not have crowned their efforts. - h is the many little incidents of your daily routine that make up your rnorale—the morning shave, your clean linen polished shoes, brushed clothes. Webster speaks of zeal, spirit:hope and confi• dence. It is by attention to the small details of your personal appearance that these may be attained. The Gillette Safety Razor enters as much into the morale of every. day life as it did into that of the trenches. It helped our soldiers to - maintain their confidence and bearing. It will do the same for you. The Gillette Safety Razor makes the daily shave come easy—there is no pulling or scraping—no honing, or stropping—just five minutes of perfeet shaving comfort.

The question is frequently asked wheth- er it' is better 'to plow in dry eons or to dis10.and then wait till it ratns» The gen- eraaeonclusion seems to be that it is bet- ter In dry season to disk and wait for Twill than to plow the ground early in the aumlner while dry.

Plowing places the ground In proper con- dition to absorb the rain that falls. 'Plowing ground in the proper inolstare condition improves the structure- of the eon. It also incorporates with the soil organic matter from which plant food Play later be liberated. The most Minor - tent: thing accomplished in working gronad in preparation for a ,crop is kill- ing.the weeds. A good, thorough double disking of the soil will kill a crop of 'weeds sucessfully as will the plow. If the weeds are prevented from growing by either plowing or theroughly.'tdisking, there will be my little loss of water from the soil. We, also find that if the weeds are pre- vented from growing, and if moisture 'conditions are right, plant food will ac- cumulate in the soil as rapidly where the ground has been worked very little as where It is worked deep by the plow, In feet, in a dry summer, ground that is plowed is loosened to such- an -extent that the surface soil dries out more com- pletely than where the ground Is worked With a disk, and we actually have less plant food liberated in a season of thia kind in plowed ground than in disked ground. RETENTIONOF RAIN, A. Second object to be accomplished in working ground is to loosen the surface Igo that the greatest./ possible amount of moisture falling as train will be retained upon the field and not escape in surface run-off.The summer ram often falls in torrent, It is not uncommon to have a rain of from two to Our inches in a OW hours' time, especially following a long period of hot, dry weather. A fiela. thaanas been plowed and left rough Will abserbe a much larger part of a rain of this character than a field that has been. Plowed. and a euselY-tdowed field will o.bsovb a much larger portion of such a rain than a (Baked field, In fact, this is the main advantage In plowing ground rather than disking it in a dry period of time. There is no tillage implement used Up- on the farm that impeaves the structure a the soil to the extent that it may be Improved by the mold -board plow, The mold -board plow Was designed to turn the soil in such a. way that it would granulate it and therefore, put it into excellent tilth. In order that a plow may accomplish what it is designed to do, he ground must be plowed when it is moist arsd mellow, If plowed too wet the structare of the holt will be injured. If plowed too dry the ground will be turned aver in lumps and the plow will bave no effeet whatever either to improve or injure the structure of the soil. Thus from the standpoint or improving structure, there is tiothing gained hi plowing ground thy. INCORPORATI1•10 ORGANIC MATTER It is important that fresh organic matter, like wheat etubble, wheat straw. corn or sorghum stover, barnyard man- ure, weeds Or other material of this kind lrn lacorporated with the eon in order that plant food, especially nitrogen, may be liberated front .the soil In sufficient arnoUnts to grow profitable crops. For the beet tcaults It is necessary to occas- ionally work organic matter into the ground to a depth of from six to seven This can best be done with a plOw, and the incorporation of organics matter with „the soli is an important funotion of plowing ground. It is not adviashle to plow under a large quantity of straw manure or. other forms of or- ganic matter. Material of this kind allettld never be plowed under inalarge abiount.S, but ratOr applied ea n top dressing. After material has been [ta- tted to the isolt and partly; decayed it Is then important that it be worked in- to the ground where the proper tYPe of decay make take plate. $41144.4444 4.0•444444441m44m.m4m44444 De. hiittleiS Female Pins For Wantons Aihnonts likerth, reerriuremult4 Y Phridetanc Sold for A seituttlitetilly lererd remedy of proven rott- ..sx estuary in Atented Tin maga co.'s* ... wIthiaersitur .

In this way organic matter can be proper- ly tnixed through the surface soil. It Is for this reason that it is adviea:ble oc- eassionally . to plow deep, and it is probably for this reason that continuous shallow plowing or disking, seron after season is unsatisfactory. Seemingly there is but one object gained by plowing when dry, and that Is that the ground may absorbe a greet- er amount of rain that may fail later. This will occur only when the surruner rains falls in torrents, and might not off- set the disadvantage that .would . come from plowing a heavy type of Bell in a hard, lumpy condition, especiaaly if it was .impossible later to thoroughly cons - pact the eon. METHOD' DEPENDS ON CONDITIONS. It is probably best to thoroughly double -disk soil for wheat as soon as possible after removing the preceding crop. If the ground is then in condition to plow it may be done; if not, wait ea - til the conditioa of the soli is such that it may be p -me. -!y plowtd. It is usually posible C.0 keep .the plovis running in the loam and silt types of soil, and to work down the grounl eatisfuc- torily when a good rain comes. Wt ere this can be done It is advantageous, In that the plowing Is out of the way earl- ier in the summer and the work there- fore does not accumulate to be Ione in a Short time before seeding, Where ground has been thoroughly double -disked early in the suinrner, and where the summer has remained hot and dry and rains do not fall until the early fall, it is probably best to prepare the seedbed for the season with the disk and not to plow at all, especially if there is a large acreage of ground to handle, This practice should not be continued, however, season after season, because in a wet year it Is impossible to keep down weed growth with a disk. Continuous asking will`not incorporate organic mat- ter in the soil as it should be incorpor- ated, and will not keep the ground In proper tilth. • • • A Wonderful Bullet. It is claimed by M.

"The result was that agriculture in St, Thomas fell into decay and nearly all of the activities of the island's population were devoted to the inter- ests of its harbor, and one of the finest coaling stations in the tropical world was established there, "In addition to the coaling station there Is a floating dry-dock and a marine slip, where splendid repair facilities are provided.
