Farming is a business, and like other business men the farmer should know which way he Is going financially.

Samuel Woodfill, U. S. A;, Fort Thomas, Ky., a captain's permanent commission and retirement at that rank. You see Sergeant Woodfill earned his captaincy on the fighting line In France. Also his 20 years of active service entitle him to retirement. Also the military authorities have practically picked him out as the greatest fighting man of the A. E. F. So It would seem as If America could do no less than this for her hero of heroes a Regular of the United States army and a professional soldier. Any w ay, Senator Richard P. Ernst of Kentucky has introduced such a bill In the senate. And Representative Roy O. Woodruff of Michigan has done the same in the house. Representative John S. Benham of Indiana started the movement in the house. You see, he was proud ns a peacock because Sergeant Wood-til- l eulisted In 1001 from his district the fourth. Benham had the clerk rend a paragraph from General Order No. 16, bearing date of January 22, 1019, and signed by Gen. Peyton C.' March, chief of staff Lieutenant Woodfills citation his award of the Congressional Medal of Honor. Benham also put into the Congressional Record Woodfills army record In full from Ids enlistment in 1001. - Then Woodruff of Michigan, who was a major of infantry In France and at one time, after the armistice, was Woodfills commanding officer, was given the floor. As a preliminary to giving notice that lie would introduce the bill mentioned in the foregoing, he set forth his knowledge of Woodfills efficiency as a lieutenant in the Bordeaux embarkation camp and related how he re- turned from receiving the Congressional Medal of Honor at Chaumont without opening Ills mouth about it. Excellent behavior, efficiency and modesty hulk large in Woodfills makeup. The presentation at Chaumont took place on the quadrangle British G. H. Q. on Sunday at 3 :30 before a large crowd of American, British, French, Belgian and Italian officers. Headquarters battalion acted as guard of honor. Woodfill received oilier awards in addition to the Congressional Medal of Honor. He received the Legion of Honor at the hands of the high admiral of the French navy and Maj. Gen. Hanson E. Ely presented to him the Croix de Guerre, (with palm). Later he was awarded the Legion of Honor and the Order of Prince Danilo I (Montenegro). He also wears the Victory Medal with three clasps, the Philippine and Mexican border ribbons and an expert riflemans medal. Notwithstanding Woodfills exploit and his citations he remained undiscovered ns the hero of And Woodfill certainly didnt help along heroes. the .discovery. When he went to Louisville with solreturning troops In the summer of 1919, a realeventdier and a real hero at last after all the ful years that had passed since he enlisted there v lu 1901, there were thousands hungry for such a tale of the war that Woodfill held in his bosom.

Ascertain Which Spots Will Be Best to Certain Crops Requiring Sunshine Run Rows North and South. (Prepared bp the United States Department of Agriculture.) . A definite plan for the garden should be drawn on paper before any planting Is done, suggest garden specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, First determine the exact dimensions of the available land ; then ascertain which parts of the garden will be best adapted to certain crops, especially those that require a large amount of sunshine. Outline the garden plan on paper and sketch in the crops that are to be planted upon each ' part. In planning the garden It should be borne In mind that certain crops, such as lettuce, radishes, and early beets, ean frequently be grown In the same rows with other crops and be removed before the main crop attains sufficient size to require the entire space. It should also be remembered that carrots, beets, salsify, early turnips, parcrops of that type may snips and-al- l be grown in rows of 12 to 18. inches apart and will occupy a comparatively ' his annual stock taking Is nothing more or less than the making of an Inventory or list of property, without which he lacks accurate Information concerning his profits and losses. Inventories are not difficult to make, and the United States Department of Agriculture has found that they ' are of great value to any fanner who Is striving to better his condition. They overcome obstacles and place his business ' affairs on a secure basis. Make Inventory When Convenient There Is no best time of the year to make an inventory for everybody and Each one under all circumstances. must decide for himself the date most convenient. In deciding, however, the most Important consideration Is to select a time of the year before the seasons work In the field begins. It will save estimating large quantities of farm produce on hand If the Inventory Is taken as late in the spring as possible before field work begins. Although any day will do, It is gen- Setting Out Plants Started in Hotbed. erally found best to select the first day of some month, and a fairly good guide small amount of space If grouped toIn any section will be the date upon gether.
