The sweetest treasure that life con-

Nothing that we can ever do can
remove the debt of gratitude we owe

given to garden the earth with the

Farm, With good siictess, cutting as
high as Y IL and three tons Of hay
to the acre.
The work in South Carolina has
been emInently satisfactory, practi-
caIly all Of the 100 farmers having a
fine crop Of hay this season. From
all indications some of these plots
will cut ? IL to 4 tons per acre. So
much interest has been aroused in
the matter that farmers are now pre-
pairing to put out two additional
acres, making three acres 10 all. They
have found by this demonstration
that they can grow enough hay to
take care Of two or three head OF
horses used in their general farm
work. The success with the bay
crop has encouraged farmers fur

GOOD GROWING WEATHER.

The weather of the week has been
fine for the farmer and truck garden
ers. 1t has been good growing
weather. The cool snap will prove
discouraeing to the various parasites
that prey upon the Strawberries and
other fruits and vegetables as well as
for smaller fruits. That is, provided
that the weather does not develop a
drought or that the clouds do not get
soggy and refuse to let up.
The baseball enthusiasts have not
rejoiced over the weather, but the fan
will grow as the season Develops
The congeniality Of the weather for
crops means much to those who de
pend upon this resource for liveli-
hood. 1t is also of interest to the
people who have their truck
gardens. So that while the season
has been backward it has not been
blighied and the absence OF FROST
fiarebacks has done much to assure
good conditions for growing things.
Tie month is slipping away and
those who are interested in beAutify-
ing their surroundings have not any
200 much time to be busy in planting
the vines and flowers that are count
ed upon to transform waste places in
to ideal spots.

Of grass under the direction Of the
agent The land was thoroughly
p!owed; ton Of lime to the acre was
applied, and in addition 400 lbs. Of
fertilizer was used. The fertilizer
consisted Of 200 lbs. of acid phos
plate and 200 lbs Of ground bone
The aciI phosphate cost So a ton
and the ground bone 500 tom
This woull make the 400 lbs. Of fer

ed all work, the lime and the fertiliz-

grass seed. The most successful mix
ture for hay grass in this section Of
the South is found to be one make
up of orchard grass, tall meadow oat
grass, and Italian rye grass, with red
clover. There was half a bushel
each Of orchard grass, tall meadow
oat grass, and Italian rye, and 10 lbs.
Of red clover sown to the acre. This

 Poets and noyelists alike have given mythit.al texture and color to the lotus The elder Dumas spoke of a lotus flow er pure white and with petals as deli cate as fine muslin Nor did the an cients treat the matter with more truth. Herodotrs spoke of the lotus as of a plant which habitually de scended below the surface of the wa ter at sunset to return to view only with the rea ppearnnce Of the sun. The lotus known to modern man goes be low the surface of the water. like all nymphaeas. when it's beauty and its freshness have passed and when the time has come to ripen it's seed pod Then by the law of life it closes its corolla and goes away from the air and the sunshine down into the water to prepare for the future of its family It goes at the time when the-sun sets. but it does not reappear. When it goes down as an individual it is gone forever. The petals described by Du- mas as being ''as white as the snows of Himalaya' are not pure white. nor can anything be called with justice "as white as the lotus flower" be- cause a lotus flower may be red or blue as we'll as white.-Harper's.
