yet she fiuttered when she recalled 1t

passing the very spot where week
previous young Danvers had told her
he loved her and asked her to return
his kiss-and Katy did.
And now from the trees came the
remindful hilarious chorus Of the
merry insects, as though they had seen
1t all and were proclaiming it to the
world.

THAT is true. for his father Is pres

Danvers said that even the best IA

Then Katy tripped home to her du-
ties. They were humble ones. yet she
graced them. Old Mr.. Branson and
his wife and daughter lived in rath-
er unusual environment. They had a
little home surrounded by a few acres
about half way up Glover Cut. The
cut was four miles long and until

Well Prepared Seed Bed Essential.
A well prepared, firm, solid seed bed,
plenty Of good barnyard manure and
summer fallow to kill the weeds, are
most important.
Alfalfa seed may be either drilled, or
sowed, broadcast and narrowed in, OIL
even disked in, especially if the sur
face of the ground is dry.
Sow ten to twelve pounds of seed
per acre. If evenly distributed this
will give fifty to sixty seeds for every
square foot, while one thrifty plant tC
the square foot is sufficient.
Cut alfalfa before it is in full bloor?
or as soon as the young sprouts OF
shoots start to grow at the base Of TIL,
plant. Cut late in the afternoon OF
evening.
When alfalfa is left too long tho
leaves, which, are the most valuabl;
part of the plant, fall off and the stem
become woody and the yield of til,
next crop is greatly reduced.
Alfalfa can be placed in the barn o!
in stacks much greener than any uthe
kind of hay. Twenty pounds of sal:

WANTS Longer
SCHOOL Term
Supt, Travis Appeals to County
School Districts to Extend
Length Of Term

There was a time when people
thought that three months in a
year we're sufficient length for a
school term. Gradually it has
grown to seven months for rural
schools, and nine and ten for the
city and towns. May | pause
rifht here and ask, rs the town
boy or the town girl entitled to
more time, or better facilities for
securing an education than is the
country boy or girl?" No, but
if YOU will ask the taxpayer in
the town you will see where the
town child gets the advantage.
Nearly all the rural schools
that did not end last week will
end this week. The children will
nave little or no chance to con-
tinue their school work. OF course
the time will not be wasted but
likely it will not be spent in the
most profitable manner. Hun
dreds Of children in the county
will have nothing to do but
"romp" and play until the schools
start again next August. Why
not the patrons of each district
get together and employ some
competent teacher to teach, at
least, two more months? II can
be done with very little individu-
al or per capita cost, not more
than Sl.50 per month. Should
there not be enough pupils in one
district to pay a teacher to work,
to districts or maybe three Join
in securing a teacher and let her
work in the house most conven-
lent. ! will take the responsible
ity to say that the County Board
will cheerfully pay the necessary
incidental expense while such a
school is being had.
There are not many things
that come by chance, or happen
So" Personally, | know of none.
Everything that has come to me
has been either by my own act
ions or inactivity. If we want
our children educated we must
do our part. There are some
people who never see anything
but the dollar mark in a business
proposition. There are others
who look upon the larger child
rem, especially the boys, as an
asset, in the same class with his
mules, his horses and other live
stock; especially valuable to him
because he is a money Garner,
and the first duty of that boy is
to do his part of all the farm
work, even to building the plant
beds ready to be burned early
