Didn't Tobacco Spit His Life AWAY.

He used tobacco constantly
Since he w;iS seventeen,
Until his whole anatomy
Was soaked with nicotine.
He never once stopped smoking
Except to take chew
And when he wasn't chewing
The air with smoke was blue.
He bought big plantation,
So well he loved the weed.
And planted every acre
With fine Havana seed.
One day, when very weary,
de laid him down to sleep
Amid the green tobacco, where
The caterpillar creep.
They swarmed about and over him
With ceremony scant
And ate him-body, bones and all

held the meeting as announced on
Tuesday afternoon. While the attend
ance WAS quite small those who were
present were interested and well paid
for the time spent. Mr.. Ross read q
sketch showing the magnitude Of tie
fruit growing industry of this state
and the possibilities of the future. He
gave detailed information as to the
planting, pruning and care OF fruit
trees; the character of the different
insects which infest fruit trees and in
jure the fruit, and also the best means
of destroying them. Ali this informa-
ton is Of considerable value to the
fruit grower, and if followed out, will
result III perfect fruit and plenty of it.
He paid some attention to the orchards
OF this vicinity and appointed a spray
ing committee, consisting of Frank
Blnns, Dan Myers and G. G. Angie. to
look after cases Of pests and reauest
the owners to take some means Of ey-
terminating the pests. It is, Of course.
of small value for some growers to
spray their trees, while neighborino
orchards are permitted to remain the
breeding ground of noxious pests.
The law gives the state board power
to take extreme measures with badly
infested although generally
orchardists are glad to spray and care
for their orchards, when they learn
how to do it successfully. Mr.. Ross
visited Kamilche on Wednesday and
gave his address to gathering of the
Little Skookun farmers With the
information contained in state reports
and the newspapers, everybody should
become familiar with the best com
pounds Of spraying.
