brother-in-l Law, were on the river on
a weekend outing, and what they
caught could not be seen with the aid
OF glasses.
Being convinced that fish were plen-

the contrary, and that the right variety
of bait would get them, Lloyd procured

laughed and said what they thought of
him.
A few minutes later there was an ex-

Lloyd had made a strike" and when
he pulled in he had three-pound bass,
the first fish of its kind that had been
caught there for some time.
Six other bass were caught, and
Lloyd. knowing what other sportsmen
would think of his catch, returned to
the government proving ground. The
telephone line was busy in a few min

the city for phantom minnows. and
Ringgold Hart proceeding to get a
corner on the artificial bait.

Accompanied by his son Joe, ten years

Weverton Monday afternoon and was
on the river long enough to convince
himself that the disappointed fishermen
who had been there only a short time
before had only themselves to blame.

Attractive strings of fish caught in

Attractive strings of fish caught in

numerous large trout, spots and croak-

of fish.
Tailors have put in appearance at the

The Uselessness of Conquests.

Europe is learning already the small
value of unwilling subjects in crisis.

ment at Berlin has made the most drastic
efforts to Germanize the people Of AL

they ever formed a part Of France. Yet
today French troops invading those prov

to Lower the High Cost Of

1t may be said, I suppose, that the
drought is broken. but sticklers Tor
accuracy would be justified in main
tanning that it is merely cracked. A
lot more rain is needed before the
ground is in any condition for matur-
ing crops.
neighbor of mine, who has been
farming out here since before the civil
war. says the ground has been drier
the past two weeks than at any time
since 1861 l know that last Saturday
afternoon / tried to dig some post
holes, and the dirt that came up from
two feet beneath the surface was so
dry that I could crumble it up in my
hand and blow it away as dust IL
would require a pretty deep-rooteo
plant to draw any moisture from
ground like that.

Farmers Picking Out Automobiles.
Harvest in the wheat-growing sec
tions around Washington was rec
ord breaker, and farmers were sitting
UP nights studying automobile cata-
logues. They had every reason to ex-
pect the most prosperous year in a
generation. And those who make
wheat growing their chief business
will have it, for the European war is
likely to bring about record prices for
the record crop. But there are mighty
few farmers who make wheat their
only, or even their main, crop. Corn
is the great standby in this part of
the country. and the June and early
July promise of a great corn crop has
gone a-glimmering. Going back and
forth on the cars. / have watched great
fields Of corn slowly shrivel up, leaves
droop and turn yellow. A soaking rain
now would save it from utter destruc-
tion but there'll be no such yield as
would have been harvested ha1 1t not
been for the drought.
All of which drives home the fact
that the farmers life is not one long,
sweet song. Also it is a telling argu-

These figures are based on the assump-

Bears on the Future.

But it is in relation to the future
that the drought is of most Importance.
From one point of view it may be
blessing in disguise. Had this been
year of abundant and well distributed
rainfall. it is very likely that next
spring | would have converted six of
my eight acres into market truck
garden. To have cleared about three
acres now partially grown to scrub
brush, prepared the soil properly,
fertilized and planted my crops and
cultivated them until there were vege-
tables to sell would have taken every
dollar i could have scraped together
and plunged ME heavily into DEBT.
Then, to have been overtaken by
drought like the one we have Just
gone through would have meant Biff.
Bang, Bust,
Coming this year. my first in the
country. the drought has acted as a
pretty effective brake on injudicious
enthusiasm. 1t has determined me
that | shall not undertake market gar
dening on an extensive scale, at least
not without drought insurance" The
only insurance against drought, of
course. is a system of irrigation. The
market gardener who has one this
year is due to make scad of money.
But ii takes cash to install such a
system. especially on uneven land
where surface irrigation is imprac-
ticable. Experts figure the cost of an
overhead system at $3.50 an acre. On
that basis drought insurance" for six
acres would stand me as an initial in
vestment S1,500. To prepare six acres
for the plow. to plow and harrow and
drag ii properly, to fertilize and plant
and cultivate 1t would certainly cost
500 an acre. or total investment of
s2.100 for the six acres. My pile isn't
that big.
If / had the money to invest ]
would be a good one. But as I haven't
1t. and as ] haven't any warrant OF
credit that would enable me to bor-
row it. I'm barred.
Fifty-Fifty on Chickens.
So here's where i take a back seat
and Jane marches UP front and ad.
dresses the audience. 1t is not on rec
ord that drought ever caused chickens
to wither up and die. 1t very well
may. and it does. make chicken feed
cost more But when chicken feed
costs more eggs sell for more. Tha,
