Gated at Bonn University and Cam
bridge and served as major in the
G"yai Bucks Yeomanry. He has been
a trustee of the British Museum since
1892, and has his own extensive mu-
scum at Tring Park, where he has a
million samples of butterflies, some
10000 stuffed birds and many rare
animals from all parts of the world.

One day last week we met our old
friend, Henry T. Bugg of Carlisle

say that Henry is real old, but We
have known him about twenty years
Henry is really less than a. years old,
and has yet only nine children, six
boys and three girls. He looks young
about like he did twenty years ago
and he attributes his youthful looks
to the fact that he has been constant

His wife was a Miss Stephens and
she has been true helpmate and ideal
companion. They have built a good
home and surrounded themselves with

Hemp Selling High.
Lancaster Record.)

Lancaster heCOru.)
The large crop of hemp grown in
Garrard county during the year 1918
is now about ready for the market,
and the growers are being offered 10
cents per pound, while some are hold
ing out for II cents. The breaking
process is somewhat slow because of
adverse weather conditions and the
scarcity of negro laborers. who fully
understand the handling of the old
fashioned breaks that are still used
by Garrard farmers in preparing the
lint product for the market. Ten cents
per pound is the highest price ever
paid hemp growers in this section, and
this is a great stimulus for a much
larger acreage of Garrard land to be
given to the cultivation of the fiber
during 1916.

with all the blessing that II brought,

ever saw any one rain that was any
more destructive to the soil. The
erosion caused from this rain Is some
thing awful and should impress itself
on the minds OF every farmer in
Brazos County In such a manner that
he would set about devising ways and
means by which this erosion can be
stopped. As see II. and as ! have
before stated In several different ar.

most important as well as the most
serious problem to be solved by every
