CAREFULLY WRAP PACKAGES

In the December Farm and Fireside
there is an important suggestion
about wrapping packages. The writer
says:
Il needed those things for this even.
ing" groaned Mrs. Blank when the
boy. returning from the mail box a
hundred rods from the house. handed
her slip on which the rural carrier
had written: '"Have package that will
not go In box. As you told me never
to trouble to drive In. will bring again
tomorrow"
That package contained articles
much desired for that evening. when
the 18th birthday Of the daughter OF
the house was to be fittingly cele.
brated.
They were things had asked my
cousin in the next county to send
over" explained Mrs. Blank. She
lives on rural route and I supposed
she would wrap them so they could be
left In the box. suppose she did not
think"
That is the trouble with lot OF us
when we are wrapping packages for
delivery on rural routes.
II we are wrapping a parcel that
will contain perhaps little over GOO
cubic inches. the chances are that we
will wrap II as n square parcel or as
one about SxSxlO inches. In either

THE REFORMATION OF A so.l.
(By s. q. Asbury. Assistant State
Chemist at Agricultural and Me-
chanical College.)

For such Texas farmers as were
born and raised In the older states,
and whose Texas lands are beginning
to show the Ill effects Of too continu-
GUS cropping. It would be worth the
cost Of the trip for them to visit again
the farms where they grew up. For
the effect Of following or laying out
OF land will be very strikingly brought
home to them. The old quilted fields
of their youth will be found now COW
cred with pine forests. A rich mellow
soil will be found where bare red hills
were before. Most of the deep gullies
they remember will be found little
flat valleys covered with soil and
trees and underground. There may
be other gullies. of course, but those
they recall will be hard to recognize.
Such was my own experience in re-
turning to my grandfather's farm last
year after an absence of twenty-nine
years. In 1886 there were great fields
OF broom-sedge cut deeply and often
by gullies. In 1915 did not see q
single whisp of broorh.sedge on nv
grandfather's place! These broom.
sedge fields are now pine forests and
the gullies are either gone or are mild
affairs. For everywhere on the old
farm old Mother Nature had done her
work again. The sense of depleted
old age was completely gone about the
land. though It fingered about the old
homestead. Instead. a feeling Of the
primeval. virgin country took posses.
sion OF me. At this writing / only re-
cord that SO It was. Perhaps In a later
article may try to explain this seem.
