den advance In the price. the COM

vsnced' to IS. In other words. their
price has increased so per cent, and
the producers's only II per cent. A

About = year ago Mr.. Maxey put
down q well four miles west Of Fow-
led for A. Felhour. The well was
ten feet In diameter and Il was fif-
teen feet to the water line In the
we'll. The well was located ON new
land that had never had . crop on
Il. and had never been irrigated.
Sixty acres OF land were grown to
beans. oats and alfalfa. and Mr.. Fei-
hour made enough from bis first
crop on the land to pay for the well.
Including the time that Mr.. Felhour
put on the well with 4 team and his
own labor. the well cost $500. And
yet some people say that where you
have to utilize 4 pumping plant to
irrigate crops II will not pay. How
ever. Mr.. Felhour Is well pleased
with his investment. and now that
he has sure water supply will try
to double the output Of his sixty
acres this year.

CHILDREN'S CORNER
A Little Pepper Plant

IN the late fall, a gardener looked over
his garden to be sure that everything
was in order and ready for winter. And
down in one corner-what do you suppose
he spied?
A tiny little pepper plant
Yes, sir, and 1t was very tiny that no
one but a gardener would have guessed
that 1t would one day be pepper plant.
But the gardener knew the leaves, that
was the way he recognized it.
We'll, we'll" he said to the plant,
Seems to me you're starting your ca
reer pretty late! Don't you know that
