bors. / am acquainted with number
OF men who planted apple trees on
land where they formerly grew from
fifteen to twenty bushels OF wheat to

was the gross Income per acre, and
this season they expect still better re
suits. One OF my neighbors planted
peach trees ON land that scarcely made
him fifteen bushels to the acre In n
good season. and last year the gross In
come was over $l00 per acre, while this
season he Is selling peaches at $3 and
So per bushel. Other parties laid their
land down TO permanent meadow. and
the hay brings from $50 to 500 per
acre. While I'm many cases, ms In my

so large, II still IS more to the acre than

Men speak in wondering words of

Ozark county looks upon land so old
that the brain becomes weary In at
tempting TO measure It's age. though
measurements be made in epochs, not
In thousands of years.
The Hlmalaya mountains have dur.
ing some thousands or millions Of years
poured their deposits into that body OF
water which we know as the China sea
and by filing the basin Of that sea
have deposited so much alluvium that
the empire Of China, with It's untold
population, now occupies the space
over which the water once flowed unre-
strained. Look to your maps and note
how large the lowlands Of China are;
conjecture the depth Of the alluvial de-
poslt In those lowlands and then COM
prehend, If you can, the ages during
which the Himalaya mountains have
been busy filling up the basin Of the
sea and by wash of the tides and over
flow OF the rivers building the land of
China as we know 1t today.
The brain wearlcs OF the effort. We
are incapable of comprehending such
almost infinite time, and yet we do
know that the mountains OF Asia are
the youngest mountain ranges on earth
and that the lowlands of China belong
TO the last days.
We may grasp suggestion OF facts
by comparison sometimes. If the Him
alayas are the youngest, the Ozarks are
the oldest OF all mountain ranges, and
between the dates which gave them
birth the Rocky mountains, the Appa-
lachlans. the Apennlnes, the Alps, the
Andes, the Neyadas, the Circassians,
the Caucasus, the great mountain
ranges Of Australia and Africa, had
birth. Yet these were not reared sud

age OF the Ozarl6s, yet fail 10 compre-
hcnd, for we cannot measure their ans
