woman" said Puss. your husband Is
asleep. so / have taken this opportunity
to thank you for the very hne supper OF
which l have just partaken." The Giants
wife started at the sound OF his voice
and stood in front of the oven as IL to
guard it from view.
"Ha. ha"' said Puss to himself. 'I'n
wager Jack is in the oven. 1 wonder

Puss Junior heard a scratching sound,
then creak. and in a moment Jack
stepped from behind the Giants wife,
after carefully closing the oven door.
How do you do" said Jack, coming
forward, and what does mother WANT"
She is worried about you" replied
Puss Junior, and asked me to tell yod,
should l have the good fortune OF meet
ing you. that she hoped you would re-
turn home. for she is SO lonely"
That I will" answered Jack, 'as soon
as l have the opportunity" He had
hardly finished speaking when the heavy
tread Of the Giant was heard. Jack
jumped back into the oven, while the
Giants wife commenced talking TO Puss
Junior as If nothing whatever had hap
pened.

Giant turning fe-ceIy to Puss.
Why did you fall asleep" asked Puss

falling asleep after supper. It's mighty
difficult to break a habit"
1T is indeed" said Puss. 'T feel sleepy

my habit of going to bed early?"
The Giant laughed long and loud.

that all of the field work will be
finished by May l.. About twen-
ty different types and phases OF
soil have been encountered. Each
Of these will be shown on the
soil map, and be described in the
report. Most of these types rep
resent soil differences generally
recognized by farmers, although
their adaptability to different
crops is not so much a matter OF
common knowledge as is desir-
able. In view of the increasing
in alfalfa. grasses and live stock
the limy soils of this area are of
particular interest at this time.
The possibilities of these soils
are appreciated by comparatively
few farmers, and are not well
known to people of other locali-
ties. The writer, in course of
soil survey work in northern
states. has had many inquiries
as to the adaptability of southern
lands to corn, oats, hay and live
stock. While there are num-
Der of extensive soil types in the
south we'll adapted to such lines
of farming. the calcareous soils
have obvious advantages over
types lacking in lime. Their
suitability for alfalfa, clovers
and other forage crops renders
them comparable in value with
the high priced lands of the corn
belt. Therefore many people in
these latter sections are easily
interested in lands of this char
acter, which are still purchasable
at reasonable prices.
Lee county has opportunities
to offer in this respect that
should command the attention OF
the most desirable class of home.

survey report should prove val.
