Good Rule to Follow.

Half of the fun Of anything is look
ing forward to 1t. and the other half
is looking back at It; the climax. the
event itself. Is merely the point at
which the two kinds of pleasure meet
In the middle.
Learn to go to your good time, when
you have earned 1t, with the full ex-
pectation Of enjoying yourself; and
when 1t is over, let the happy memory
of it keep coming back to bless and
sweeten the subsequent days.
To a great extent, however, you go,
you bring your own happines with
you. You will have the best time by
giving it to others, contradictory as
this may seem. You will look back
with most satisfaction on the occasion,
when you were "the life of the party"
when you entered into the fun and
made most of it yourself, and did not
sit back and expect to have 1t made

PICKED UP IN THE ORCHARD
Bush Fruit Should Be Planted in Soil
PIowed Deeply and Thoroughly
Worked-Avoid Insects.
CBy G. 6. MILLER)

No use to plant bush fruit In poor
ground. 1t should be plowed deeply,
thoroughly worked up with good
stable manure before the bushes are
set out.
A good orchard requires as good
land and as thorough preparation as
corn. Sandy loan with clay sub
soil, makes excellent orchard land,
while hillsides, If properly treated, can
be turned from barren wastes into
profitable fruits crops.
The man who will choose between
a good and Indifferent tree merely on
account of the difference of a few
cents in price certainly does not look
very far ahead. The saving here will
be wasted many times as the crops
come on.
When planting an orchard we must
remember it Is a permanent invest
ment and no pains in the preparation
of the land or reasonable expense Of
the purchase of good trees should be
spared.
Never plant young trees among old
and diseased ones, because the worms
and insects are almost certain to de-
stroy them

BEST VARIETIES OF PEACHES
Fruit Cannot Be Grown In Many Sec.
tlons on Account Of Severe Cold
Weather and Frosts.

1t is generally considered that or
dinary varieties Of peaches cannot be
successfully grown where the temper
ature Is liable to drop to 20 degrees
below zero for any considerable
iength OF time. 1t Is also true that the
peach is very often injured by
the late spring frosts or by q
sharp fall in temperature following a
period OF unreasonable warm weather
in mid or late winter. Because Of
these reasons the peach cannot be
grown commercially in many sections
even though the soil and other condi-
tions are favorable. Fortunately for
the man who would grow peaches for
home use, there are several varieties
which are more hardy than the ordi-
nary run of varieties, and which may
be depended upon to bear at least
occasionally even under rather unfa-
vorable circumstances.
Experiments at the Geneva IN. "
experiment station show that there
are certain varieties which are espe-
cially hardy so far as winter-kiIling Is
concerned, and that some are espe-
cially resistant to the late spring
frosts. Among those in the first group
are Crosby, Elberta, Gold Drop, Stew
ems Rareripe, Hill Chill and Wager.
The second group includes such vari-
eties as Greensboro, Carman, Belle of
Georgia, Triumph, Crosby. Hill, Chill,
Stevens Rareripe, Gold Drop and
Wager Fortunately these lists have
some varieties in commons, so that it
is possible to select varieties which
are hardy both to severe winter TEN.
peratures and to spring frosts. Among
these are Hill Chilli, Gold Drop, Cros-
by, Stevens Rareripe and Wager.
None of these are largely planted,
commercial sorts, but are desirable va
rieties for home use.
1t would be well to try a few trees
of some Of these varieties in many
sections where this delicious fruit is
not commonly grown, selecting WELL
drained, sloping piece of land some
what above the general level in or
der to insure as much freedom from
spring frosts as possible.

Washington, Sept. 16.-The buy.a-

reaching some of the representatives.
One case in Texas is cited of a farmer
who produced three bales and. being

definitely Southern members of con-
gress will interview Baltimore busi-
ness men, who have many clients in

them accept cotton in part payment
OF their bills, the basis being 1Oc per
pound.
In answer to Edwin Warfield. ex-
governor of Maryland, the treasury de-
partment ruled today that the funds
OF surety companies bonding govern
ment officials, invested in cotton to a
