Would Write Jolly Letters

T wonder if there is any one lonely and sad whom I could cheer with q kind or jolly letter? If you know of any one who would care to correspond with me- I would be glad of his or her address. Perhaps by letter or a word I can tighten the burden of some traveller along the way and comfort a sad heart
 MRS. A. R. S.' l dare return an emphatic affirmative to that wonder" There are scores of lonely and stricken souls that would be refreshed and invigorated by such letters as you will write. 1 offer now your ad- dress to any one one who may apply for It Tn the hope of receiving the message of slsterly love and cheer. 1t is beautiful thought-a Christlke mission May the waters, returning back to the fountain, fill it with refreshment.n

Some Congratulations From Mt

AS | am a constant subscriber
to the old Waterman, and was a
good while a reporter for it, am
bound to say the paper hardly
looks like the same old lady, but
I guess she's the same, jist'
has on another dress. | am al
ways glad to welcome The Watch
man when she arrives. What it
takes to make a live town and a
progressive people is an up-to-
date paper, such as yours now is,
and | would impress upon every
citizen that if he is interested in
our parish he should subscribe
for the official paper and help to
maintain the same. So let's all
subscribe at once-or sooner If
possible.
Now, while | am praising the
paper, | want my congratulations
to flow on over to my old COM
rade, P. w. Carr. | think he of
all our citizens merits the esteem
and approval Of all good, think
ing people, and especially the
poor devils who are not able to
educate their children, for it was
THROUGH his efforts that the as
sessment was raised over $780,
600, and | want to say right here
that the police jury and the
school board should compensate
him in the sum of not less than
$100 each and if they don't the
people should 60 down in their
jeans and "fotch" it up. Every
body should give his letter of
your last issue careful considera-
ton.
= Now, if these things are facts,
and P. w. is always not far from
right, if such is the case, they
ought to be rightly adjusted, fol

The Young Lsdies Missionary So
ciety of the Methodist church held
its regular monthly meeting at the
home of Misses Carrie and Temper
ance Smith Thursday afternoon,
March 10Th. There was the largest
number present at this meeting
than there has been at any meeting
since the Society was organized in
August. Irene Lyell acted as lead
er and had a program prepared
which was interesting to all present.
Miss Virginia Fields gave several
readings which were appreciated by
the Society. There are only three
young ladies missionary societies in
the State of Missouri and Monroe
City has the largest membership,
which is thirty-one. There were
three visitors present. The Society
pledged $40 for the Missionary
cause After the business session
the hostess served ice cream, cake
and mints. The next meeting will
be held the 3rd Thursday in April
with Miss Susie Burditt.

Burditt.

Little Mildred Frances, the 49,
month-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Roy Burditt, died at their home
northwest of this city Friday.
Bronchial pneumonia was the cause
of her death. She was sick about
four weeks.
The little one came to spend a
few short months on earth and
when her mission here was filled
she was taken to the land where
sorrow is no more. She cannot re-
turn. Her brief life made happier
and sadder the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Burditt.
Funeral services were conducted
Saturday at the home by Rev. F. P
Haines and the little body was laid
to rest in the cemetery at Hume
well.

To Keep Out Borers.

The best way to keep borers out
of apple trees is to wrap the trees
with paper. Old newspapers are
just as good as any. Wrap the
trees in October or November re-
moving the soil for about one and
half inches below the surface.
Shove the paper well down and pull
the dirt back to the tree The OBJ
ject of burying the paper is to pre-
vent the borers entering the trees
just at the surface of the ground,
says O. G Harmon in the Missouri
Ruralist
Of course the borer will not enter
the tree before April or MAY, but
one wrapping in the lare fall will
protect them from rabbits in winter
and borers in summer.
Remove the wrappings about the
middle of July and wash the tree
with strong I've water. When young
trees are first set out, put about a
gallon of fresh wood ashes around
each tree, but do not pile them
against the tree. Year by year, as
the trees get older. increase the
quantity of ashes. If borer should
get into the tree, pour turpentine
into his hole.

mess in Linn County several days

ure; for example, by filling the great
yawninG spaces around clods Some
soils are so light aud fluffy that the
soil particles are separated by air
spaces These soils dry out and
must needs be compacted by rolling
or floating, in order that the roots
can get moisture from the soil
grains. This is the cause of many
failures TO get "A stand of clover
The tender roots cant get sufficient
moisture to live until the tap root
gets down Drive out the surplus
air BY pressing the soil grains to-
gether You can't get loose soil
too solid, if you roll it when it is
dry. Plant roots are strangled for
lack of air and perish for lack of
moisture, through allowing crust
to form on the surface when the
plants are young and tender. The
crust shuts out the air and sucks
out the water at the same time.
Given a proper seed bed, the plant
will be able to utilize the fertility
of the soil, whatever that may be.
II can't increase it. 1t can only use
what is there.
We have spoken heretofore of
land that it is necessary TO pillow IN
order to prepare seed bead. 1t is
not usually necessary in the corn
belt at least in the upper two-thirds
of it, to pillow the ground in the
spring for oats. The character of
the soil and the deep freezing rem
der this unnecessary. There is
however, necessity for preparing the
seed bed for oats, spring wheat or
barley, but it is best done by level
ing it with the disk, then disking
and then narrowing until at least
three inches of the surface is in
ideal condition.
Where it is necessary to pillow, as
it is in some soils and climates, this
should be done in the fall, where
the winters are not open, and where
they are, as early as possible in the
spring, in order that sufficient time
may be given to pulverize the clods
and develop water holding capaci-
ty in the seed bed.
We have not gone into details as
to how to prepare the seed bed in
each particular case That is inn
possible. We have aimed to pre-
sent the ideal, and then leave it to
the judgment of the farmer as to
.9hat means are necessary to attain
.u.. Ltd. The seed bed is not
everything, but it is very import
ant thing; and just now, when spring
will be upon us probably before we
are ready for it, it is the most i'm
portant thing to think about.
Go carefully over what we have
written on this line. Compare it
with your own experience. Posi-
bly, you may find out why you have
had failures in growing the full
crops which you so much desire
