Missouri Tobacco on n Boom.

Bonneville, MO.-Missouri orchards
are famous, but few people probably
appreciate the advance In the state
along other lines of agriculture. 1t has
been demonstrated that tobacco can be
prOfitably grown all over the state and
indications point to boom in this in
dustry. Probably more tobacco will be
planted this year than ever before. In
some recent tests maximum Of 1,G00
pounds per acre Is claimed, while the
state average for n number Of years
is placed at $50. Kentucky, the first
tobacco state Of the Union, is credited
with less-SOS pounds to the acre. Mis-
souri, now ranks as the ninth tobacco
state, but, unless all signs fail, will
push rapidly to the front.

When Trees Go TO SIeep.

Trees and plants have their regular
times for going to sleep. They need
to rest from the work of growing and
to repair and oil the machinery of life.
Some plants do all their sleeping in
the winter while the ground is frozen
and the limbs are bare of leaves. In
tropical countries where the snow new
er falls and it is always growing
weather the trees repose during the
rainy season or during the periods Of
drought They always choose the most
unfavorable working time for doing
their sleep, just as man chooses the
night. when he cannot see to work.
