~ OTTIE and Dlmple were two
little sisters. They were not
twins though if you saw them
] you would think they were.
These two little sisters lived on
a farm. four miles from the neighbors,
and seldom saw any one outside of the
family The farm had a creek running
through it and many people from the
city. passing there, would stop and
take a drink.
Dottie and Dimple were very bashful,
so they would hide behind tree and
watch the people go to the creek.
one day the hired man, jim, asked
their father why he did not put up a
lunch and sell it to the people, but he
said NO" but Dottie and Dimple were
present and thought Of a plan that
kept them awake half of the night
The next morning both dressed hur-
riedly and rushed downstairs to lay
their plan before papa, mamma and
Jim. They wanted to make corn balls
and put a table out near the creek and
sell the corn balls to the people who
came there.
Mamma said at first that it would
take too much molasses, but she con-
sented when she looked at the eager
faces of her two little girls. They were
their happiness by promising to make
a table for them, which he did The
table was put out near the creek The
sisters then made some corn balls and
placed them on the table and Jim put
up an awning over the table so that
the sun would not shine upon the pop
corn.
Then the little girls put UP a sign

Weather and Crop Conditions

The first four days of the week ending
Monday, June 10, were intensely hot and
dry, the thermometer at many stations
recording from 9S to 1903 degrees. The
last three days were cool and cloudy,
with widely scattered local showers, but
insufficient for present crop needs, as
nearly all are suffering from the drought
that has prevailed in many sections since
the middle of May. Strawberries, toma-
toes, melons, clover, grass and oats have
been seriously injured, and in some
places the strawberry crop has been
wholly cut off. The pear, apple and
other orchard trees are blighting badly,
This is due to inroads of a micro-organ.

ing bud and spread therefrom to the
twigs. With the apple the attack is
usually through the flower buds, and af.
ter killing the blossom, does not spread
to the older parts of the tree. The same
disease spreads further in pear and
ounce stems, sometimes destroying the
whole tree The only remedy available
is the pruning off of the dead portions
which should be burned
Professor Smith warns the citron and
melon growers that the weather thus fan
has been extremely favorable for the de.
