A MISSOURI BOY FARMER.

Floyd e. Fisk, of Anderson, Mo-.
member Of the Boys Corn Club, was
asked by an agent Of the Department
of Agriculture for report on his
corn crop. The drought had ruined
Master Fisk's crop, but instead Of
negative report from disappointed
boy he sent the following:
My Corn.
No use for boy to look forlorn
When it's too dry in the Ozarks to
raise good corn.
He can iced the fodder to the goats
And throw the nubbins to the shoats.
I have done the best that l know
how
used the harrow, then the pillow.
I plowed 1T deep and close at first,
Then plowed it shallow to quench its
thirst;
But 1t remained dry as dry could be.

TO KEEP BOYS ON THE FARM.

The way to attach the boy to the
farm is by way of achievement. Think
Of the desolate home of the dairyman
with a losing herd-no paint on the
house, no honeysuckle over the door
and no time or money for the COM
forts within that go to make house
a home, such conditions are far
reaching in their degrading effects,
especially upon children.
But in direct contrast there are
other farm homes supported by dairy
herds paying large profits, where the
enthusiasm of the father has spread
to the children.
Surrounding these homes are neatly
moved lawns with flowers, trees and
vines around the painted and we'll
kept house, and where money Is spent
for the home comforts.
Here the question of how to keep
boys on the farm never arises. Higher
civilization costs something; the
dairyman must increase his earning
power.

Fruit Culture

One Of the most profitable, useful
ard commendable undertakings TO
which one can devote himself In these
times Is the cultivation of fruits and
frui. trees. It Is worth while to have
q part, though even 80 small, In help-
Ing to raise mankind to a higher
place OF living; and the fruit-grower's
services are Of value In solving the
problem Of tho ever-ircreasing cost or
living.
Probably there 10 no other branch OF
agriculture in which there Is 30 much
gross ignorance still prevalent as IN
fruit culture. How many farmers I'M
derstand to any degree the arts OF
budding and grating and pruning ana
training Of vines; and yet they are the
very persons who. above all Others
should be familiar with these proc
esseA II you wish to know whether
this or that fruit tree IL worth en-
couraging, don't ask your neighbor'
tho farmer. The chances are that ne
Ia nursing along some worthless seed
lings himself. in the hope that they
will some day amount to something:
but which most of them usually never
do.
Nature has presented us with the
grains at their best, and ready for
immediate use; but her fruits, her
best gifts, she holds subject to the
proviso that they shall be received
only with tho exercise Of an intelll-
gsnoe capable Of approaching them.
The wild fruit tree Is admirably de-
signed for surviving untold conditions
till man shall have need Of 1t, and
for responding readily under his
guiding hand-but only when wisely
directed.
Care and cultivation alone Will
vastly improve some plants. but not
fruit trees. Advance is gained with
them, step by stop, by the selection Of
ono in a thousand. Nlnety-nine out
Of every hundred seedlings will prove
a disappointment, and the ono alone
worth propagatins.
Young trees respond more readily
to now conditions than do older ones,
and the seeds Of young trees are less
likely to return to their former con-
dition than those Of older ones. Tho
farther removed from its original
state, in generations, a tree may be,
tho less IN its tendency to return to it
The trained stookman and nursery
man understands these principles. and
puts them into practice in producing
new and superior varieties of fruit
stook. Far better rs 1t for tho farmer
to hook to him tor approved material
to work with. than to attempt to
impsuve whatever he may already
hASA
Tho ono important element in fruit
growing u to secure tho right stock at
The start The rest Of the undertaking
10 comparatively eaGy. TO begin with
q poor grade Of nursery stock Is to
invite failure at the start. and to
assume q handicap which can never
after be overcome.

The disastrous freezes Of 1894, 1895.
and 1899 in Florida and those of 1912
and 1918 in California, and In many
sections Of the middle states have
caused the fruit growers to cast about
for some means of protection against
sudden or late cold waves.
The experience Of southern Califor-
MIA last winter would almost make 1t
seem as though there is no such thing
AZ frostless land; particularly so mas
much as some of the groves damaged
the worst had never been touched be-
fore. The lesson surely should be
that no man can afford to leave his
grove unprotected II he has the slight
est indication In his past experience
that his grove is liable to damage; es-
pecially when 1t has been so often and
thoroughly demonstrated that 1t Is not
only possible but practicable to pro-
tect grove through periods when the
thermometer outside the protected
area drops as low as twenty degrees
for many consecutive hours.
The burning Of different kinds Of
fuel in an orchard for the purpose of
raising the temperature has been en-
ployed a great many times. The sue
cess attending the work varies under
different circumstances and with diff
ferent conditions. When the drop
in temperature is accompanied by a

BLOWING STUMPS WITH DYNAMITE
BY ROBERTS.

In the use of dynamite for Kidding
land of stumps, one cannot be too
careful in handling the dynamite and
the caps used to set 1t off. If good
Judgment is used, it may be handled
with perfect safety. 1t should be
stored in a dry, well-ventilated place,
where the temperature will not rise
above 80 degrees F. The caps should
be kept In a separate place, as they
are much easier set off than the dyna-
mite. It is unnecessary to tell most
persons that dynamite should be pro-
tected from heavy jars, and should
not be stored where any shooting is
likely to be done. A few years ago
a carload Of dynamite was exploded
at Jellico,> Tenn, by boy firing into
the car with 22-caliber rifle.
Most dynamite freezes at a tenn
perature between 40 and SO degrees
F. Some brands will freeze at about
the freezing point OF water. Frozen
dynamite should not be used. Never
attempt to thaw it until printed di-
rections, which come with every box
(and if no directions are inclosed. OBJ
tain them from your dealer), have
been thoroughly studied.
