Last Saturday evening about dusk,
VIII Garrison, who lives on the farm
of VIM. R~osselot, (known as the Jones
place., a mile south of Arcadia, was
detected taking some meat from a
back door in the store of VIM. E. Hall
in Arcadia. Sheriff Blue was notified
and he and Deputy George Marshall
proceeded to the house on the Rosse-
lot farm where Garrison and his fam
lily make their home, but they did not
find any trace of Garrison or the meat
there. The officers then went to the
dwelling occupied by Mrs. Rosselot
(Mr. Rosselot having been absent in
Panama for some time past). Mrs.
R. protested to her midnight visitors
that there was no mi in the house but
her, but Sheriff Blue insisted he must
investigate, and on going in the house
found the missing meat down stairs,
and the missing man up stairs. Gar
rison was brought to town and lodg-
ed in Jail, where he is awaiting trial.
The meat recovered consisted of hams
and bacon, worth about $25. Garri-
son has lived in the valley for several
years, is about forty years of age, and
has a wife and number of children.
Rosselot bought the farm about two
years ago.

cause of all this destruction was a
break in the levee at this point, max
ing a crevasse something like a mile
in length. The farms in the neighbor-
hood of the crevasse are greatly dam
aged if not ruined, by sand blows
which in some places completely bury
a fence. We walked over a fence
thus covered, except now and then
the top of a post sticking out. One
who has never seen the desolation
caused by so great a food, can scarce
ly imagine the awfulness.
The whole of Mississippi County
has suffered from the recent drouth;
not more than a two-third corr crop
is expected. However, the county
was visited on last Thursday and Fri
day with a 5-inch rainfall. We spent
a day and night in Columbus, KY,
which was our home in 1901 and 1902
then a prosperous little town of 1900;
now, there are scarcely 200. This
drop-off caused by 1928 floods. On
our way home we visited three days
in Charleston, the county seat Of
Mississippi county. We attended
high school there twenty-one years
ago. A great many changes have
taken place since then. Those Of our
schoolmates yet there, are, like our
selves, growing old. We we're rejoiced
to find some of them holding prom
inent positions-leaders in the religi-
Gus, political and social circles Of the
city. Charleston being situated in,
perhaps, the richest agricultural sec
ton of Missouri, is, as would be exc
pected, a wealthy little city of 1000.
There are beautiful homes, elegant
churches, modern school, and one Of
the handsomest courthouses in the.
state. 1t is d dry town in a dry coun-
ty, which, in part, explains its wealth
and prosperity. ALPHA.

FIELD DAY
Iron Mountain Demonstration Farm
AT ARCADIA COLLEGE.

August 9th all were invited to at
tend the Field Meeting on the Farm,
conduced by O. 0. Carpenter, Com
missioner of Agriculture for the Iron
Mountain Railroad. Practically, all
of the most progressive farmers of the
vicinity were present, and all were
very much pleased at the instruction
and information received from a sci
entific and at the same time practical
man in farming, as is Mr.. Carpenter.
The large assembly first gathered in
the College hall where the Sisters had
a number of fine specimens of the va
rious crops and vegetables raised on
the Demonstration Farm. There Mr..
Carpenter gave a very useful and
practical talk on farming-of the diff
ferent plants that serve best to i'm
prove soil by taking the nitrogen from
the air and depositing it in the soil:
the best and least expensive fertilizer;
spoke extensively on crop rotation,
selection of seeds and the dairy COW.
He stated, however, that he preferred
to speak to them in the field, where
questions could be asked and discuss
ed to better advantage. All then
went with him to the fields to view
the various crops and the methods OF
handling them to obtain best results;
beginning with peanuts, how to plant
and cultivate them, value as a forage
crop and feed. Next the strawberry
then potatoes, how to till and treat
with formalin to prevent all scab and
diseases; and then various other veg,
etables. Corn, always being King,
great stress was laid on how to pillow
cultivate, and select seed to improve
corn and increase the yield. lastly
how to SOW, treat and i~noculate alfal'
ia, of which an acre was sown thai
evening.
Every n manifested the greatest
interest and realized that they were
listening to a master on the subject
and that his advice would make the
farms more advantageous and en-
nance the prosperity of the commu-
nifty.
The meeting began at one O'Clock
P. NJ, and continued until FIVE, anC
from start to finish was a great sue
cess and promised to be repeated mex
year with even greater interest and
larger attendance.
