Half Your Living
Without Money Cost

A right or wrong start in 1915 will
make or break most farmers in the
Cotton States. We are all facing a
crisis on cotton. Cotton credit is up
set. The supply merchant cannot ad-
vance supplies on 1915 cotton. You
must do your best to produce on your
own acres the food and grain supplies
that have made UP most of your store
debt in the past.
A good piece of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. 1t will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres of cotton you
ever grew! But it must be a real
garden, and not the mere one-plant-
ing patch in the spring and fall.
Hastings 1915 Seed Book tells all
about the right kind of a money-sav.
ing garden and the vegetables to put
in it. 1t tells about the field crops
as well and shows you the clear road
to real farm prosperity, comfort and
independence. IT'S FREE. Send for
1t today to H. G. HASTINGS & CO.,

Commercial Orchards.

One of the greatest needs in the
commercial orchards of the west is
the elimination of host of non-pro-
ducing, non-salable sorts of apples.
These cumbers of the ground are a
waste of valuable space and we have
repeatedly urged that they should be
either worked over into better varie-
ties or cut out altogether. In this
year of light yields a great deal of
budding work should have been done
but it seems that most of such trees
are still allowed to exist. Not only
does the marketing of this cheap class
of apples hurt the grower but 1t also
cuts down the profits of the better
sorts. The blackeyed Ben Davis will
probably be retained the longest be
cause it has the peculiar habit of com.
ing through frost periods with less
damage than Jonathans, the Winesap
and other good sellers and by its very
prolificacy and cheap production earns
the respect of the growers despite all
market condemnation. Field and

The fast Somerset ball team have
made entry in the tournament at the
Colorado state fair to be held in Pu-
eblo September 1918. Some of the
best semi-professional clubs in the
state have made entry and it promises
to be very interesting contest. If
Somerset plays the game she has been
playing all season, the other teams will
have to put up fast game of ball to
stop them.
Some time last night the Dunbar
drug store was robbed of goods
amounting to good many dollars. the
thieves confining themselves chiefly
to the best kodaks and merchaum
pipes and other sundry articles. That
it was the work of professional crooks
is without question. They effected
their entrance in one of the rear win
dows by cutting a small hole in the
sash and opening the catch. Some
small change in the register was left
untouched the culprits probably fear
ing detection in not being able to open
the register without ringing the bell.
No trace has been found of the rob-
bers.

DRYING UNSALAeLE FRUIT

entirely salable and will thus save 1t
entering the sun-dried fruit keep the
flies or millers that lay the eggs away
from 1t while drying. Trays made of
light lumber and covered with lid
of screen wire will answer the pur.
pose. These trays are much more
convenient than the roof of a building
or scaffold as they can be carried in
during shower and again put out
without disturbing the half dried fruit
The galvanized instead of the painted
should be used and the frame of the
lid made so as to exclude the flies. A
great deal of sun dried fruit is made
entirely worthless on account of the
flies, which would otherwise be in
good condition. The trays should be
made with both bottom and top
screens so they may be reversed and
the fruit allowed to dry faster. If
made in this way. however. the trays
must be placed on a solid foundation
in such a way that the flies cannot
reach the fruit that Is next to the
wire. These convenient trays will be
found well worth the time and outlay.
