For years i had hoped that just

It means everything to the farmers

of rain, but there was q drouth from
time of planting TIL late July. The
sudan grass gernninated evenly, due
no doubt to the careful cleaning the

six pounds OF seed at least two
pounds were blown out with q fan

that most trouble with sudan seed
seems to be unevenness OF Gertnina-

the presence of much undeveloped
seed, because the crop natures I'M

DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS
When the Joy of Your Riddles
Brings Tender Memories of
Years Ago.

| In these strenuous shopping days.
writes Louis James, have you caught
yourself remembering suddenly, in all
sorts of queer, unexpected places, all
sorts of queer, half forgotten things
| Have you remembered how these days
| before Christmas are the wonderful
days in the life Of the child, more
wonderful days, perhaps. than any
that are to come?
You know that yourself. You can't
help recalling how time went by those
| days before the great day. You re-
member how each day seemed some
how more wonderful than the one be-
fore, each day a prelude of real Joy
to that first marvellous moment of
Christmas morning, when, after a
night of little if any sleep, you scram-
bled up and stood breathless on the
threshold of the room which had been
forbidden you all those interminable
hours that went before.
The child you take with you through
the wonderlands Of the modern toy
department wants what you did. The
little girl stops before the baby doll.
wide eyed, still with desire. The boy
stands flooded with happiness before
an ark in which is every imaginable
creation. You remember what small
thing your own was, a fourth the size.
But his Joy is no greater than yours.
He pushes toward the rocking horse.

you ran your own across the floor to
the imminent danger of total destruc-
ton to persons and furniture that
might stand in the way. But Christ
mas day was your day. The day when
'donts" were not and you were king
or queen in your kingdom of toys.
You pass on to trains and there
again electricity is running them. You
pulled them yourself.
Then you catch the look on the face
of your boy. He is watching the huge
engine move slowly, smoothly along. IL
passes under infinite tunnels and
bridges and over made hills that pre-
sent intricate difficulties of passage.
Your tunnels were of chairs and the
table in your kitchen made a splen-
did bridge to cross.
He turns to you, the child of this
twentieth century. His smile is be
attic. He wants it-that train. He
never wanted anything SO much be-
fore. He never will again he is
sure.
And as you move away you smile. a
little sadly, a little gladly. You are
proud to be able to make him SO
wonderfully happy, this child of yours,
but you are sure, too, that he is no
happier than you were these same pre-
Christmas days, those years before.
