Mrs. D. L. Hone and daughter,
Miss Daisy, of Minneapolis, spent the

Miss Emroy Ellingwood accom-

The young ladies will spend week at

The item which appeared in the
Spencer Brook column of news last
week written in the first person, singu-
lar number, was not written by the
correspondent. Hence the people will
have to look to the author of it if
they expect to receive that "piece of
mind" which was to be offered.
The Fourth was celebrated here
under the auspices of the Woodmen
camp. It was an ideal day and the old
friends and neighbors, as we'll as the
young, met and enjoyed a social
time. AT about 1870 a. m. the people
repaired to the M. E. church, where a
program was rendered. The choir
and audience sang "America," after
which the Declaration of independence
was read by Fl. ". Whiting. Ernest
Ellingwood then introduced the
speaker Of the day, Rev. F. H.
Marshall, who gave scholarly
address bristling with patriotism.
Mr.. Marshall said, among other
things, that the problems of l776 were
settled long ago and that we should
contine our attention to the problems
of the present day, some of which are,
anarchism, plutocracy, the saloon
and the white slave traffic. Mr..
Marshall is a fluent speaker and the
pleasure with\ which the audience
listened to him was manifested by
the applause. There was so much of
it that the dogs took it up and made
the air jubilant with their voices.
The singing of "The Star Spangled
Banner" by the choir ended the pro-
gram. The ball game between Wablo
and Spencer Brook was too one-sided
to be very interesting. The result was
II to 2 in favor of Spencer Brook.

There was a good deal of interest in

How to Raise Crops Successfully in

Mr.. Malley gave some valuable advise.
He said the dry farmers should not de-

farmer to dam every arroyo he could
find, bottle up every bit of mountain
water that rolled down into the gullies.
and construct bitches so as to turn it
onto the field, if it could not be damned.
BY conserving every possible drop of
water and culHyating the soil scien-
tificaIly, he believed the farmers could
raise better crops He said the irrigator
if he practiced scientific methods, could
irrigafe- more land with less water and
thus leave water for some other man.
The most potent reason for crop fail
ure he declared, is the use of seed not
adapted to the soil and climatic condi-
ton where planted. The selection of
seed grown In the region is the most
profitable, he said. Judge Kone and Mr.
Quicksall applauded this. Fact COM
munity should grow its own seed. This
brings the greatest yields and the best
results. he declared, and in planting
faulty seed the farmer cultivates a full
acreage to harvest only half to two
thirds of a crop, when with good seed
he can harvest a full crop with the
same amount of labor.
Bonuses for Hog Ranches.
He said bonuses should be offered
by towns for hog ranches and farms
before they go after factories. He said

That is why it got it's name and. be-
cause it is practiced so extensively in
the dry regions of the west. is why
they still call it dry farming.
Many sensible farmers have en-
braced the practices taught in dry
farming in some of the wet belts of
Texas. It is even practiced on Calves
ton Island and down near Victoria to-
wards the Corpus Christi county-and
in every case where its teachings have
been followed. Those practicing it have
made successes where others have made
failures-for they do make crop fail

this great state, just as we do out on

STRAWBERRY CULTURE

Like asparagus, strawberry beds
should be established as soon as the
family has settled in country home"
says Kate v. Saint Maur in Womans
Home Companion for June, because
it takes a year to get a full crop.
There are a great many varieties to
choose from, but think it is best to
restrict selection to the old established
kinds. The Marshall for first early,
the Glen Mary for mid-season and the
Candy for late gathering. And truly
l don't believe there can be a better
selection for the home garden.
But as some varieties do better
than others in a certain locality it is
advisable to consult old residents in
the neighborhood and the nurserymen.
Light sandy soil, sloping slightly to
the south, will produce the earliest
berries, but we are convinced from ex-
perience that slightly heavier soil and
a more northerly exposure produces a
better fruit in mid-season. Our beds
all slope to the south, but the late
varieties are so situated that they are
slightly shaded by a row of young
pear trees, which protects them from
the direct rays of the sun. The soil is
or rather was-of ordinary quality,
neither very sandy nor very heavy, so
for several seasons we scattered fine
coal ashes between the rows of the
early plants, which materially light
ened the soil, and for several years we
have had berries from five to ten days
earlier than our neighbors."
