doubtedly arisen from the success of many orchards located on stony hills.
 It is a well-recognized fact, though one too often overlooked Tn selecting sites for orchards, that cold air settles to the lower levels. For this reason it is often colder at the lower elevation than it is at higher points in the same locality. That is what is meant by atmospheric drain- age" The occurrence of frost in low places when there is none on elevated areas is thus explain ed. For the same reason peach buds are often winter-killed or the blossoms ars injured by frost in the spring in low places when nearby orchards on big h r elevations are injured much less, or even escape entirely.

STONY soEas AND ORCHARDS

A stony loam is often recom- mended as a desireable fruit soil,
 but stones are advantageous only in that they may help a soil that
 is too heavy or clayey or too im-
 previous, by making it somewhat more previous to water. The fact that a soil is stony does not necessarily imply that it is pro- ductiye. If apples are to be grown with profit, and com petition is keen, the soil must be productive or at least capable of being brought to a productive state and so maintained. Much of the current belief that stony" soils possess some peculiar advan- tage for orchard fruits has un-

APPLES NEED GOOD DEPTH OF
 SUB-SOia

In choosing a site for apple raising the necessity for good depth of sub-soil cannot be en- phasized too strongly. Shallow soils should be assiduously avoid ed for orchard purposes. Thepres- ence of unbroken rock, large ledg- es or hardpan within three feet of the soil should be considered prohibitive. A soil depth of at least six feet should be insisted upon, and an even greater depth is highly desirable. Soils with underlying rock too near the surface have been responsible not infrequently for the failure of commercial orchards owing the incapacity of the sub-soil to store sufficient moisture to offset droughty conditions, or to get rid of excess moisture early enough in the spring.
 The condition of tree growth and fruit yields makes it evi- dent that soils for any kind of orchard planting should be deep, well drained and friable, yet not so porous as to be droughty. For the red varieties it is often desireable that both soil and sub soil should also be well oXidized as indicated by uniform brown, yellow or possible grayish-brown colors. Light gray or mottled colors should be avoided.

WHEN THE FARMER COMES TO
 TOWN

How do you greet the farmer when he comes to town? Is your greeting such that he feels that he is with us, but not of us? Or is he made to feel that he is in his town, among his people and with his friends?
 The making or the marring of this town depends greatly upon your attitude toward the farmer when he favors us with his visits. He&is the backbone of the community, and without his aid and encouragement we would be an unsuccessful business com munity. The townsman is no better than the man from the farm, and the farmer can claim no superiority over the towns man.
 We are all human being, with the same aims and purposes in life, and endowed with the same

brands of intelligence. In fact, we are brothers of a common community, the only difference being that the one lives in town. where life is a little more diver sified, while the other breathes Gods pure air in the green fields ot the country. Let us remem- Der that we are brothers, and sisters and cousins and that the welfare of the one is vital to the success of the other.
 When we ride to the country the farmer extends the hand of fellowship, bids us welcome, and hands us a hearty come again. It is a delightful characteristic of the man from the farm. for his greeting is sincere and his invitation from the heart. But what of us when the farmer comes to town? Is our welcome on the same high plane as his? Is he made to feel that our smile is for him and not for the con- tents of his purse? We, of town, are proud of the farmers of this community and of their wives and their daughters. They are men and women of a high order of intelligence, whose integrity is beyond question, and whose thrift, and energy, and perse- verance is transforming our countryside into a hive of in~ dustry and wealth. They are builders, one and all. But we fear we, of the town. are often forgetful of the great duty that we owe to them for their loyalty ana generosity III support of the local business community.
 We ourselves know of the high regard in which we hold the farmers or this community, but " we doubt if the faEnasr lee--s ea the warm sentiment Which we entertain toward him And this IS because we think much and say too little. It should not be so-it should be otherwise than thus. Let us, of the town, culti- vate a more friendly and neigh borly spirit, let us open up our hearts that the farmer may look within, for we are but one big family and should dwell together in unity and brotherly love. Let us act as we feel, and give the farmer to understand that he is of us, as well as with us. We need each other, for a prosperous farming community makes a live town, and the prosperity of the town adds life and enjoy ment to the countryside.

KANSAS CITY MARKET REPORT

The Kansas City stock market held steady to strong in the face of weaker prices elseW h here. Here the run was moderate, be- ing about 2,000 less than a month ago. Quality, however, wa S well suited to local shipping needs, carrying enough finish to interest special trades and at the same time enough medium beef to make up the rank and file for killers use. In the finish ed classess of heavy, medium, and light weights sales were re- ported at $8.75 to S9.15, the lat ter price being paid for a load of 779 pounds steers and heifers mixed. Western steers sold at $8.25 to S8.75. On the quaran- tine side sharp competition was evident and prices ruled strong to 10 higher. About 19 car loads Were on sale. Steer s brought $6.5C to $7.65.
 The supply of stockers was short of requirements and prices ruled strong to 10 higher, and quality considered the highest this year. Inquiries are increas- ing from eastern states. Last week an Illinois feeder took a car load of 735 pound steers and heifers at S8.80.
 Packers are having trouble to keep the market down to Chicago's level, and last week they paid more here than in Chicago, To' '.ay they started to line up the market by taking off 25 to 30 cents, but in that they were not fully successful, and their purchases averaged as high as the lake maket. Ship pers paid up to $7.75, and pack CTS droves cost S7.25 to $7.50, compared with $7.15 to S7.50 in Chicago.
 Increasing supplies in the east and lower prices sent spring lambs off 50 to 75 cents, making break of $1. .75 cent in the past four days. The top price today for springs was $l.35, Sheep off 15 to 25 cents,
 Official receipts, Kansas City, today were 65,00 cattle, 13, OCO hogs and 1000 sheep.

ARKANSAS AWARDED
 FLAG OF MERIT
SOUTHERN STATE WHICH HAS DONE MOST ALONG LINE OF
 CIVIC IMPROVEMENT


 For many years the state of Arkasas suffered the reputation of lacking enterprise and am- bition. It was regarded as the legitimate prey of the jokesmith, and many a lean column of copy" has been eked out at the expense of a commonw e a l t h which did not deserve half the sarcastic things said about it. The razor-back hog was held up as the type of it's live stock, the Arkansas Traveller" as the measure of it's musical art, and the hill billy" as the general representative of it's agriculture citizenship. Few people looked upon Arkansas as possessing it's fair share of the progress and enlightenment which are the common heritage of the best American commonWeaths. To call backward" was to fatter it, in the average American opinion, since Opie Read was pretty generally accepted as it's biographer, rather than 8 mere romancer. And to some extent these views have ever since ob- tained.
 It will therefore be a gratify- ing surprise to many to know that the flag of merit as the southern state which has done the most along the line of civic improvement has been awarded to ArEansas by the n'ts auxiliary of the Southern Com mercial Congress, at it's recent m e etin g in Muskogee, Okla. Those who have defended Ark ansas as state possessing a very large proportion of public spirited citizens, despite it's "down-at- the-heel' reputatio 0 Il, will have their judgement forci- bly, vindicated by this revelation, while the iokers and they who sneered at the state as hopeless ly "behind" will be confounded and compelled to revise their views.
 It is needless to say that the good people of this entire section of the country will congratulate Arkansas upon the shoWi n g made. The state has thousands of intelligent and entarprising citizens. It's resources are abun- dant and have never been ade- quately brought to the attention of the people of other states. It has suffered more from apathy than inability, and most of all it has been a victim of that trait in human nature which gives a dog bad name and then hangs him on the strength of his repu- tation. That the distin ction conferred at the Southern Com mercial Congress was we'll de- served may be taken for granted, and this is the most gratifying fact in the compliment conferred, for therein lies the strongest in- centive to still further advance ment.

A piece of refuse in the street, or yard, or elsewhere, is just one piece and is easily picked up. But when it is allowed to re- main from day to day and is joined by others and still others, it soon becomes an insight ly, dirty and filthy collection of rubbish, a detriment to the good name of the town and a menace to the health of our people. Who's for picking them up this summer? Who's for improvement, and progress, and more sanitary measures? If left for one or two persons to do, it will never be done. If every body does it, there will soon be nothing left to be done.

Say, brother, who will have the cleanest and most beautiful yard this summer? Will 1t be you? And who's yard will be the dirtiest? Will it be the other fellows? We are far from 9 slovenly people-We may even take pride in much that we do but yet there is a great oppor- tunity for improvement in many ways. Many a man admires his neighbors yard, but just natur- ally forgets to spend much time in the improvement of his own, apparently obvious to the sur roundings of the place he calls home. Let's start the guessing, fellows, as to who will have the cleanest and the dirtiest yard this summer. It will stir up a little friendly rivalry that will work wonders in the appearance of our town.
