Sese clared Bob. . years old. 'They
are only in books; I'm sure OF IT,"
"oh-o-o!" exclaimed Ruth, looking really
shocked at what her brother had said.
"oh-o-o-o, aren't you ashamed, Bob, to say
there aren't any fairies@cept in books?'

lots Of things in two years. you know
Ruth didn't know, but she tried to look
as though she did. But she resented Bob's
saying there weren't any fairies. in fact,
as the two children sat turning the leaves,
Ruth kept wishing with all her might that
something might happen to prove TO Bob
that fairies really did exist. After a little
while she said; "S'posen something should
drop beside you all OF a ~sudden-some
candy or an apple-or something very,
very good to eat. Wouldn't you then be-
lieve in fairies2'

pursuing up his lips and assuming a skepti-
cal air, IF q ginger cake should drop be-

in fairies. But itdl take a ginger cake,
and nothing else, to make me believe"
''Well, maybe II you wish hard enough

In a very threatening voice, and II any
fairies happened to be listening at the
time, they must have felt It a very trying
moment, for as we all know, fairies are
not bakers or cooks. But Bob-the skeptl-
eal-thought a fairy could bring him what.

really existed.

The History of a Grain of Wheat

By jeanette Bagnell, Aged 8 Years, 727
South Eleventh Street, Lincoln,
Neb. Blue Side.
There was once a grain OF wheat. 1t
stood in q lonely field. Every day the
farmer would come and water 1t. One day
some men came and cut 1t down. Then It
was put in a wagon and It stopped in front
OF a farm house, where some man thrashed
It; then 1t was taken to the mill and
ground into flour. Then it was taken to
the grocery store and sold. A woman took
it home and the cook took it out and made
1t into bread, Then 1t was put in a bread
box. In two days the cook took 1t out
and sliced it. Then they put butter on it

While there 10 no question bat
what fair average yield of sugar beets
pays larger dividend per acre than
any other crop = farmer can raise. it 10
not this fact that the sugar company
tries to impress upon the farmer, but the
fact that there is no crop which can be
raised that 20 thoroughly prepares the
soil for other crops as does the sugar
beet.
But there is another fact that the
sugar company tries to get the farmer
to realize and that is that it is not the
beet with the large growth At or above
the surface Of the ground that makes
the most satisfactory product for both
the farmer and the sugar company.
For the raising of beets, like every
thing else. both parties must derive
certain profits from their enterprise.
A great deal has been said and writ
ten by the sugar company in regard to
watering beets. The beet needs and
should have little water until it has
practically made its growth Iongitud-
inally. Beets properly thinned and
cultivated with but little irrigation
during their growth will grow long and
slender extending deep into the
ground and then if given water will
commence to expand and take on sach-
rine matter and when harvest comes,
you will have not a short large topped
beet with very small percentage Of
sugar. but beet that is long and well
developed and containing great deal
more sugar and in the majority of cases
will weigh as much or more than the
other beet. This has been demonstrat-
ed this year during the shortage of ir-
rigation water. If you will go into
your field and examine your beets
planted upon properly prepared ground
you will find they have extended deep
err into the ground than ever before,
and that instead of having large cir
conference near the surface and often
times above ground which has to be
cut off at topping time, the beet is long
and Symmetrical and if water could be
put upon these beets now, they would
fill out and you would have an increas-
ed tonnage over other years and in ad-
dition the roots would have opened up

And his eyes grew blurred as he thought he heard

He seemed to be digging grave.
