The Company, with its excellent
methods OF administering and tax
ing charge of estates under wills. or
as trustee, or agent, can render the
best possible service to benefciaries
and owners. 1t seems at this time
that there could be no question as
to the superior safety, certainty and
profit inuring to estates through
trust companies acting as executors.
or trustees, over individuals. Many
obstacles and risks are incidental to
individuals acting, which are of great
INJURY to estates, and many times dis
astrous, which cannot occur with a
trust company.
The amount received from the
rents of the building and Safe De
post Department yields an income
OF 4.4% on the amount invested.
The Real Estate Department is in
excellent working condition, and
takes charge of all business the
Company, or individuals, turn over
to its care and management.
Ibis department faithfully serves
estates and owners of property. 1t
collects rent, pays taxes and insur-
ance. attends to needed repairs, see
ing that they are properly made,
avoiding unnecessary expense. In
many cases, by careful management,
it has increased the income to OWL

The net earning on capital OF the
Company this year is 1o.279o.
The Auditing Committee have
made their examinations of the at
fairs of the Company regularly and
carefully, and in each instance have
reported the result in writing to, the
Board of Directors. These reports,
showing the accounts to be correct,
the securities to be satisfactory and
the approval of the management of
the Company's affairs, are on record.
With a fair degree of interest on
the part of the directors and stock
holders, and continued conservative
management, there is no reason why
the Company, in the coming year,
should not have as satisfactory a
showing as has been made in this re-
port.

To make practical the best modern
method of cultivation it is necessary
that the land be properly prepared.
1t will not do, except in unavoidable
emergencies, to try to prepare the
soil after planting-it is adding labor
and subtracting from the sufficiency
of the crop; multiplying difficulties
and dividing results. The first process
in preparation is, of course, blowing;
but this does not finish the work. The

Ha Hin, Chinaman

TIA HIN lay on his back in his mar
row bunk and scraped upon q
wire strung violin droning lullaby
of the orient. With dreamy, almond
eyes gazing into space, he thought OF
lateesha and smiled. In the hollow
wall within reach of his hand lay the
precious American gold that foul
years of persistent toll had won him,
and he laughed with child's delight
as he tapped gently upon the boards,
The disturbing noises of the street
reached him subdued and slumberous,
and from all around the cultural
voices of his brother orientals min

its reed-clad banks swept gently by
q perfumed breeze that whispered of
rest, and of love, and of languorous
delight. Swift birds of heavenly plu-
mage fioated by on noiseless wings,
and Yateesha's soft laughter rippled
silver-chiming as music of paradise.
With gentle undulating motion they
were sailing on, he and she, through
the realms of night, and the great
golden moon in the white radiance
of starry heaven sent wide beams of
light over the bosom Of the waters.
The poppies dropped their graceful
heads, and from aIar shone fairy
lights. A continuous murmur of life
was borne upon the passion-breath-
ing air and they two watched alone
in the high arch of sky the intense
stars shoot like arrows of fire.
Ha Hin closed his eyes and saw be-
fore him long life of dreamfu. ease;
heard the deferential voices of many
slaves and the respectful salutations
of his countrymen as he responded to
their low salaams. And the queen of
it all was Yateesha. He placed his
head upon his arm and sighed tremu-
lously. He was going back to va
teesha and his happiness.

and watched with sullen eyes the

east showed dimly from hunks about

the planting, for it is essential to the
satisfactory termination of seed that
the soil be compacted around them.
It has been demonstrated that the
termination of all kinds of seeds il

mination depends lergely upon the
closeness of their contact with the
soil. The gardener understands this
when he sows his precious and costly
seeds on a smoothly-prepared bed,
Sits a thin layer of soil over them,
and carefully pats the surface with

go over seven, or even ten acres a day.
This broadcast cultivation enables the
farmer to cultivate his crop when it
needs it most, and return to the work
as soon as the crop needs work again.
Then when it rains, all he has to do is
to go over it again. With the nipple
ments in too common use, it is almost
impossible to prevent a portion at
least of the crop from being oppressed
with weeds. Good cultivation can not
be done when it takes two weeks to
go over the crop. Some weeds will
grow foot high in that time. But
when one man can go over so acres in
one week, and do the same the next
week, or the week after, weeds have
a poor chance to perpetuate their
species. But speed is not the only adj
vantage of these weeders. They do
the work in the best possible manner.
They can be rsin over corn or cotton.
or sorghum, or other cultivated crops
in an apparently reckless manner
without danger to the crop, and at the
time destroy every weed that has ap-
peared since the last trip of the weed
er. The reason for this apparently
anomaly is that plants from seeds
