T TITLE Nancy Lilly, sturdy and
l. yellow-haired, came scrambling
backward down the ladder from the
roof-room, to land with plump slap
of bare, sunburned feet upon the
puncheon floor of the cabin.
Nanny, tall, spare, her blue and
white check dress tapping about her
bare ankles, her hair slipping from
its twist. was at that moment turn
ing the sizzling contents of skillet
with quick-wristed deftness into a
pan on the table. where the coffee
was already steaming.
Four-year-old Alfred, and Griffith,
aged six, standing by the table, fol-
lowed with keen anticipation each
movement that nanny made.
Don't ye set TO the table, Grif,
nor Alf, neither, don't ye do it. Amt |
tolc yer it air bad luck 'thout we uns
all set down togcther?"
And nanny stopped over the
hcarthstone. and shielding her face
with one hand, drew forth by certain
wcll-dirccted dabs into the hot wood
ashes a generous baking Of corn

dressed herself to the shrivcled, keen

Now the junction was four miles

two passenger trains day going

To mean to do thing with Nancy
was to do IL, and what she did was to
leave home at little after the carly
daylight eating Of her breakfast, with
portion of salt pork and corn ponel
stored away in her berry-basket.
After the scramble down the noun
tain in the morning mists, with the
laurel and rhododendrons dripping
their heavy dews upon her yellow
head. she had to trudge in bare feet
over the four miles of track to the

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The mean temperature has been
four degrees or more warmer than
the seasonal average east OF the
Continental Divide. In the west
ern counties the accumulated ex-
cess .of the week was offset BY
much lower temperatures during
the closing days.
Moderately heavy showers have
been frequent over the greater part
OF the north eastern quarter OF the
state, including the Arkansas
Platte Divide; elsewhere the pre-
cipitation has been generally light,
Especially in the southeastern
counties and parts OF the western
slope
A marked improvement has oc-
Cured in crop conditions over the
areas visited by precipitation.
The soil is in excellent condition
and work is being pushed Corn
planting is about finished and The
planting OF late potatoes about to
begin; early paintings are up and
making satisfactory advancement.
In the southern counties, where
the precipitation has been very
light and scattered, vegetation has
made but little progress, grain is
OF an uneven stand. and consider
able rcplanting of bects has been
necessary. The water supply has
been ample on the western slope
and there has been some improve
ment east OF the mountains. The
ranges now afford good pasturage
except in the southern counties.
The excellent outlook for fruit has
not been impaired. There has
been some local damage by hail
and frost.
In the vicinity of Rocky Ford
showers have improved the range
and water supply; where water is
available conditions are favorable;
