WHY Not Other Mothers, Too?

A correspondent of the American
Nut Journal, writing from Ocean
Springs, Miss, recommends the plant
ing of pecans as a means Of providing
for the education of the children.
Why would it not be a good plan for
Florida parents, fathers as well as
mothers, to do something of this kind!
The article from the Nut Journal is as.
follows:
I returned from the National Nut
Growers Convention in November last
so enthusiastic over the idea of nut
growing that I was almost tempted to
lay aside my work of transcribing the
report to go and plant nuts, but |
bided my time, and decided to cele-
brate my little daughters third birth
day, which was December 9Th, by
planting some nuts for her. So, | in
vited some little children to spend the
afternoon Of that day with her, also
asking them to bring just one pecan
each I spent few days before in
making a suitable bed in which ITO
plant the nuts and fashioning a little
paddle for each child with her name
on it. With these they were to dig
the holes to plant the nuts in.
When the little children arrived the
afternoon of my baby's birthday, each
brought pecan Of good stock, among
them Pabst, a Frotscher, Stuart,
and some unnamed Of course, I do

from Mr.. Pabst, our nurseryman,
which | appreciated very much, it
was a root-grafted Pabst pecan tree,
little over six feet high My little
girl has also been promised a fine
Van Deman pecan tree, and by the
time she is even ten years old, | feel
sure she will have well-started orch
ard l believe she is almost as en-
thusiastic over her first efforts in nut
growing as myself.
I live in hopes that these trees will
pay for her education-if not all, at
least part of it-and I do not see why
other mothers could not and would
not do the same for their children. |
called the party ''Nut Party, and
whether it was original OF not, | never
heard OF that sort Of party before, 1t
was the result OF my attending the con-
vention at Scranton, Miss, last fall.
[ think I shall soon be a professional
gardener instead Of a professional
stenographer, as my doctor advises it,
and my health demands an outdoor life,
and the weather here is ideal for it.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-04-24

not expect them to reproduce, but
have the satisfaction of knowing that
good nuts were planted
| formed the children into a little
procession, each carrying the nut she
had brought and paddle with her
name on it, and they marched out to
the bed where they planted the nuts,
sticking their paddles in the ground
just where they were planted They
made a big frolic out Of it and all
enjoyed it. The grown folks joined in
the planting with the children, my
mother and nephew planting each a
peach stone; my sister, plum seeds;
and |, some Of the seeds from a Japan
persimmon that Mr.. Chas. Falkner had
given me at the convention. There
we're eleven or twelve pecans planted
for my little girl. What pleased me
most, was present to her, from four
OF the little guests-four sisters-who
brought her each a fine little grated
Stuart pecan tree, ranging in size from
two and half to four feet high. Then,
there was another gift. few days later,

Ike Almost Drowned

Ike Doolittle had narrow escape from being drowned to deth last Thursday ev'g. Ike went out to the barn to feed a six weeks old calf which hasn't learnt how to drink as yet, being as it has been with its mother ever sinct it was borned. and has been depending on her for a liv- ing.
 Well, Ike thought it was time for the calf to stop milkin and Tern to drink milk outen pail, so he had his wife warm up couple of gals. of milk, and Ike carried it out to the barn as afore- said. The calf sniffed the milk. but wouldn't drink. and Ike was in a hurry, so he grabbed the calf by both ears and chucked its head deep into the pail of milk. It was a bull calf. and awful strong, so 1t jerked its head outen Ike's hand and rared up and sneezed and blowd about outs. of milk outen its mouth and nose into Ike's face. Ike was blinded for infinite, and couldn't get his breth. When he did, the way he swore at that calf was heard a mile away. Ike then went back to the house in great disgust. He says the tarnashion calf can either Tern itself to drink or StarVe to deth

We have decided this week to write a editorial about prokrastanation. When we was trying to think Up subjeckt this one popped into our head and so we take our pen in hand to deal with it accordin' to our lights. Other great writers has also wrote on this subjeckt of prokrastanation, but they didn't ex- aust the subjeckt and so we will try our hand at it.
 In order that our less intelligent sub scribers who ain't got very much sents may know what prokrastanation is we will hereby explain the word before we go any further. Just to show you how terrible ignorunt some people is on this subjeckt we met Hank Dewberry on the street in front of Bill Hepburn's black smith shop yesterday and Hank he askt us whot we was agoing to write ed itorial about this week and we said
 "Prokrastanation"
 Who's he?" says Hank
 This jest goes to show that you can't never tell how much a man knows in this world by looking at him, although you can judge purity well in the case of Hank A person to look at Hank would think that he didn't know obso- lutely nothink, and they'd be about right The way we happened to find out whot professionalism meant was be- cause we was lookin through our ole office dickshionary to find out the mean ing of promulgation so as we could use it in the Bugle and we happened to find the. word professionalism and we thought we would use that one instead, being as the part of the dickshionary whot had promulgation in was tore out.
 We'll, to go back to the beginning, prokrastanation means to put off things whot you could do today until tomorrow or the week after. Some great writer whuze name we cannot recall has said that "Prokrastanation is the theef of time,' whotever that means.
 It is turrible handy sometimes to put off things until tomorrow, especially if you are bizzy and don't have no time to do'it today like we don't have most al ways If we didn't pracktise prokras- tanation sometimes we don't know how we would git out the Bugle a-tall, being as we don't have time to look up some things some weeks and by means of pro i krastanation we can wait until the next week or the week after. Prokrastana- ton has been a turrible good friend of us ever since we have been newspaper edition It has also been a good friend of our subscribers If it wasn't for this gosh-blamed professionalism we calki- late that some of our subscribers would pay us their back subscriptions once and while wich would be very acceptable, being as we need the money. .N
 We gess it was procrastanation whot made George Washington lose the bat

tie of Waterloo, but we are not sure.
 Procrastanation is a good thing in its place if you don't use too much of it, especially if you owe money to others, but if others owes money to you, pro krastanation is a alfred bad habit to get into.
 In conclusion we desire to. say that we are in favor of professionalism as long as we pracktise it ourself, but we don't approve of it in others.
