Parson Wells went off to buy a horse, and. as this marked an epoch in his career in Pilbury. his household was slightly excited.

 Right, I'll give it trial to test it." answered the parson knowingly and accordingly suggested to the pros pective seller that he would like to see trial run.
 After a fair gallop the horse re- turned panting.
 NOW. sir, isn't his coat fine?' said the owner, trying to distract the parsons attention from the horses obvious failings by stroking the ani- malls back.
 Yes. my good man" came the quick answer, bat I don't like the pants!"

will have less than 10 per cent crop.
Spraying Ii essential wherever
orchards are established. It ID about
as wise to try to grow apples without
the help Of chemicals to combat the
many apple pests az It would be to
undertake farming in arid Colorado
without irrigation. One single insect.
the codling moth, causes the loss OF
perhaps 100000 worth Of apples in
Iowa alone every year. Yet the cooling
moth may be controlled BY spraying.
It has been driven out Of scores Of COM

Iowa climate and soil are favorable
for apple production. Horticulturists
unite in saying that tho southwestern
corner Of the state can produce better
Jonathans than any other region. But
man must put his industry and in
genuity with soil and climate to pro-
duce an apple crop. Iowa can add
largely to its wealth by orcharding but
1t must go about 1t scientifically.

Wape1]o To Be Brjdged
With Permanent Concrete

WapelIo county has banished the
wooden death trap from her county
road system. she has the entire 147
miles permanently bridged
Sixty miles of this same dirt road
system has been graded and crowned.
With good luck before the snow flies,
she will have all her 147 miles of main
travelled roadway from Ottumwa to
every corner Of the county turned into
splendid boulevards with thirty-six
foot roadways.
Across these boulevards she has
stretched her concrete culverts full
thirty feet in width.
Her prize stretches of road are the
Blue Grass from Ottumwa to the
southeast to the county lire, and the
Ottumwa- Eddyville road frcm Ottum-
wa thru Highland Center, she is carry

W line forming part Of a Cedar Rap

Wapello apparently has had the lead
on many other Iowa counties on per-
manent culvert work. For some seven
years, Highland township has been
putting in concrete culverrs, and since
1910, the county has built concrete al
most exclusively. Now she is begin

farms and gravely worked skates

horseshoes when the aforesaid skate
came down the stretch with open
mouth while all the ghosts Of past
champions were struggling to save
their distance. They went hundreds

bought pool or two, tore UP the tick
