ORCHARD PARK
RANCHERS BUSY

Dick Houle of Orchard Park was in
town for brief respite from his ard
uous ranch duties. Mr.. Houle says
that the apple crop in his district is
fine and that ON Charlie Campbell's
ranch the trees are Just loaded and
that the sight is worth travelling miles
to see.
Mr.. Houle states that the third
crop of alfalfa will not be as good as
usual in some places because OF
grasshoppers. He says that in some
fields the Grasshoppers have eaten
patches that would extend across
Main street.
To get rid of them on his ranch he
says that he is going to irrigate very
heavy quite late. flooding the patches
where the grasshoppers have laid
their eggs and then will let the water
freeze. He thinks that such a pro-
cedure will get rid OF the eggs.
Mr.. Houle keeps the stand of his
alfalfa thick and strong all the time
by planting five pounds or so of seed
each spring. He has trie dthis method
for several wears and finds IL a pay
ing investment. He has had a fine
alfalfa crop this year.

Shaw was born in New England, on sa. Val entine's Day in 1847. After four years in Massachusetts, she went with her parents to Michigan. tra veiine to that backwoods country by canal boat and prairie schooner, The family was very poor. and the anllos- tious. girl had to work her own way through Albion College, in Michigan. and the theological and medical de- partments of Boston University. Dur ing her student days in Boston she lived in a garret, ate the crust of poverty. wore coarse clothing that made her an object of ridicule, and still found time to do Humanitarian, religious and medical work among Boston's poor. As for herself. she was not poor. but rich-rich in hope, enthusiasm, ambition, and the spirit of he1pfulness. After completing the theological course, and taking up mis- sionary work in the sluns, she still found that she had nothing tEe pee pie wanted So. without any capi- tai but a strong will and firm faith, she spent four years in studying med icine. so that she might give free treatment to the poor.
