Newton was asking everyone to
go home with him for dinner, but
no one seemed to want to 60 with
him or anyone else, but when Mr..
Newton started home everyone
seemed to follow after him. They
did not suspect anything until
they reached home and saw the
long table that had been made
across the lawn, saw the buggies
and wagons scattered around,
and the people came running out
Of the house to greet them. Then
they looked back up the road
and saw buggies. wagons and
hacks coming for a quarter OF a
mile behind. Then Mr.. Newton
said: We'll, old lady, this is one
on us" The table was heavy
laden with many good things to
eat and everyone seemed to en-
Joy it. There we're something
near l25 present. After dinner
an enjoyable time was had by all
in playing games and music, al
ter which all departed at a late
hour wishing Mr.. and Mrs. New

MADE BY HIS ENVIRONMENT
Contact With the Sea Has Impaired
sternness to the New England
Character.


In winter the sea is no joke, remarks
the Boston Globe. 1t quickly knocks
sentimentalizings over 1t out Of the
sentimentalizer. He had better stop
ashore. It is bleak, angry and cruel.
Yet one wonders If the men of New
England would have been the breed
they have been without that stern dis.
cipline. Z.
On a day. when the wind roars out
of the east through skies Of clear blue:
when spray spouts half the height Of
lighthouse towers; when fishing
schooners scurry under lib and trysail
then to stand on the deck Of coast
ing steamer and watch the huge rolls
Of solid green water bulge and fling
the vessel up over their shoulders; to
feel the vessel plunge and bury bows
in smother Of foam; rise again; aim
at the clouds; tremble, wallow and lift
to meet the next; to see the shores
dimly, dashed into golden haze of fly
ing spray; to hear the hiss Of foam and
swash of bow wave-that is to get q
glimpse into something which has gone
into the making Of New England what
New ENGLAND is.
That is to get an inkling of the coast
wisdom of the coastwise.

MADE PROFIT or $s2.s1
ON ONE ACRE OF CORN
Scott County Boy Wins Cham
pionship Of Clubs With q
Yield of More Than
118 Bushels.

With a profit Of 1921 an acre,
Oscar hinhart Of Scott County
won the championship among
corn club boys Of Missouri, ac-
cording to results recently an
nounced by George w. Reavis,
superintendent of boys and
girls club work in the Univer-
sity of Missouri at Columbia.
The yield of the acre making the
largest profit was 11S bushels
and II pounds. A sample Of the
corn was on exhibit at Farmers
Week. The net profit is counted
in the championship contest rath-
err than the highest yield.
Oscar Linhart enrolled as a
member of the boys corn clubs
under the direction Of the agri-
cultural extension service of the
University of Missouri last
spring. He received instruction
in selecting, planting and Guilt
waiting the corn from the Univer-
sity and the county agent OF
Scott County. He made regular
reports of his work and the condi-
ton of his corn.
His last report showed that the
cultivation of the acre had cost
$38.57. Here are the figures:
Seed, so cents; work done in cul,
tivation, 81; fertilizer, $500;
rent on land (the usual rent in
that county is one-third of the
crop,) $23.62. The product at 60
cents a bushel was worth $7O.88.
Every contestant is required to
tell how he raised his crop. Here
is the way Oscar tells of his: IL
picked out good seed, with the
help of the county agent, from a
good yield last year. l plowed
the land, a rich bottom, in the
fall to let the stalks decay. In
the spring l plowed it again sew
en- inches deep. In April l
double disked it both ways,
double narrowed and dragged it.
The corn was planted in rows 8
feet 8 inches apart, stalks stand
ing IL inches apart in rows.
"The first cultivation was
deep with two-horse cultivator.
Othar cultivatiOnS were not so
deep the last one being with a
five-shovel, one-horse pillow. Be
fore the last two Civilizations, l
applied 1875 pounds Of commercial
fertilizer, spreading it in the mid
die of the rows. ! worked over
the field once with a hoe to cut
all the weeds that the pillow had
failed to kill"
