prosperity of the nation lies in the
northern states-the so-called corn
belt of America.
To maintain this position of import
ance it is going to be necessary for the
southern farmers to do some steady
thinking. The best farmers say that
cotton alone, that lack of diversifi-
cation, will ruin any farm and any far
mer sooner or later. Great as cotton is
this year, it will never be great enough
to hold prosperity for the south with
out such crops as clover, corn, alfalfa,
lespedeza, hogs, cattle and sheep.

At last, when the nights were
getting frosty, the farmer gather
ed his corn, but still he left me
standing there.
When the snow came / began to
long for more comfortable job.
ALI through the summer and fall
had found NO fault, but it did not
seem fair to expect me to stand
out there in the cold and snow
AID winter.
But one day something happened.
A flock of sparrows came to call
on me.
People say that sparrows are
foolish birds, but those sparrows
knew better than to be afraid of
me as the crows had been.
1t was very cold and they crowd
ed inside of my coat and under my
hat to get out CT the biting wind.
They even seemed to find food by
picking at the straw inside of MY
coat -,
too, and told me many things "a
bout the outside world that l had
never known. We became great
friends, and I was glad the FARM
er had left me in the field where
1 could help keep them warm.
One day boy who was passing
stopped to watch the sparrows
flying around me.
A day or two later some of the
sparrows told me that the boy had
put boxes out in the apple trees
near his home for shelter for the
birds. He had also scattered food
for them.
So my life has been useful after
all. l kept the crows out of the
corn, I have sheltered and fed the
cold and hungry sparrows, and l
; shall always believe that it was my
example which made the boy think
to give them food and shelter. Is
not this pretty good record for a
scarecrow made of nothing but old
clothes and straw?

Johnny's Age

I'm just exactly old enough
To always have to run
When ma wants something at the
store
Or pa can think of something more
Around here to be done.
I'm lots and lots too DID,, at least
That's what they always say,
To fly kite or have a sling,
Or ever do most anything
They seem to think is play.
But pa and ma, when I'm around,
Most always whisper, though,
Or else they make ME hustle out,
Cause they've SO much to talk a
bout
That1' too young to know.

a Parry Fancy

By Herbert Randall.
Old Winter has not heard the
j news,
He's en- his way to doom;
A little maid chance to know
Is working at her loom
OF twinkEng threads, so quietly
You'd hardly guess her plan,
And all the nixie-pixie folk
Are helping all they can.
She's airy as a rainbow beam,
And sparkles like the moon;
A child of mystery is she,
With heart as fair as June.
Her cheeks are pink, her eyes are
blue,
She wears just what she will,
Sometimes sort of misty stuff,
i Sometimes a daffodil.
Her petticoat is frilled all round
With ribbons, may green
And oh, such lacy handkerchiefs
+ / doubt that you have seen
She has silv''ry powder box,
'Twould witch you, that 1 know;
For when she shakes it in the
wind
The apple blossoms blow.
All up and down the countryside,
And whiffle through her hair;
And she's the little gypsy maid
Who's weaving everywhere
A met of red and white and gold,
And almost everything,
From dreamy tintsl in twilight
skies
i To flames where dawdrops swing
Some day, Old Winter fast asleep,
Her webs and weaving done,
She'll catch Within her tangle net
And roast him in the sun;
And all the little mike folk,
! Who love the April showers,
Will drag him off to Fairyland,
| !. land strew his grave with flowers

Echo Song

If love with laughing eyes coquettes
And Cupid's darts just miss her,
Should then harbor vain regrets,
And be too shy to kiss her?

Her blushing face should cover,
Should to my impulses yield?
And tell her that | love her?

With wild words to address her,
All, do you think that she would
If to my heart I'd press her?

And if with downcast eyes she
stood,
And love at last should quell her,
We're she in a receptive mood,
Should / be bold and tell her?

L, e Scarecrow's Stcry.

ALI summer long l stood in tho
cornfield. The farmer made me in
May, just after he had planted
his corn. He made me of two poles,
an old coat, hat, and enough
straw to stuff the coat
The longer pole he stuck in the
ground and it held me up. The
shorter pole, which he fastened
crosswise on the tall pole near the
top, gave me my two arms.
When the coat was buttoned over
the straw and the hat was in its
place, l felt that was fine
scarecrow.
All had to do was to stand
there and brighten away the crows
by making them think l was a
man.
| could not move if l wanted
to, but the crows, which are very
wise in some things and very
foolish in others. always seemed
to be afraid of me.
Sometimes a whole flock of them
would gather in tree near the
field and scold and scold at me fol-
an hour at a time.
What a chatter they made. The.
seemed to be trying to brighter
me away, but the farmer TRUSTED
me to guard his corn and l die
not allow them to turn me from
my duty. stood at my post in rail
and shine, day and night. through
the long, hot summer months.
When the corn was we'll grove
the crows could do no more harm
but still stayed at my post.

Billy's Pr, motion.

Billy was sure the time had
come for him to act for himself.
His classmates were all promoted,
eomoted Billy called it, and he
was still i'm the room with the very.
little children from the Junior
Kindergarten.
Billy felt that he could not bear
that, and he made UP his mind he
would do something for himself.
He felt sure that he would not
be missed from among so many
little ones, SO when the teachers
back was turned he slipped out
Of the room, hastily drew on his
coat and made his way to the
door of the first primary.
He hesitated minute, and then
opened the door softly and went
| in.
There they sat. all his former
classmates. He glanced round. He
heard one of the little girls laugh
softly.
What is it?" asked the teacher
as she turned and looked at Billy.
DO you-that is-can L. Ii
you have room enough I'd Like to
be comoted," he managed to say.
But promotion" the teacher
went on to explain, depends not
ON what you want. but ON whether
you are ready
Il am ready" he told her ant
then he sat down in the from
seat. His heart was beating fast
but he knew that he must bt
brave, and so he held his heat
high and paid no attention to thu
laughter.
Just then the door opened ant
the principal came in. Billy looket
up quickly and saw that the prin
cipal was one of his father
, friends.
Well. Billy" said he, as h
smiled down at the small boy, 81
you are a regular schoolboy thi
year, are you?"

Notes
- for Our
Bird Cub

Bird lovers I'M the South take
dipper or bottle-neck gourds, cut a
hole in the side of each gourd, and
hang them GIN trees and poles.
Martins especially like the swaying
motion and the safety. For mar
tins many are hung near each
other and fifteen or more feet
from the ground English sparrows
do not trouble such houses.
1t is always am attraction for
birds to build their nests where
nesting material can be easily
found. 1t as a good idea to put
out feathers, bits of wool or cot
tom, rags, string cut in short
lengths, and hair where they can
easily get it.
Have a place where robins,
swallows and phoebes can get mud
easily. They wall their nests with
it, and in very dry seasons have
trouble to get it.
The quails and cartridges of the
United States, according to- statis-
tics, save the farmers millions of
dollars every year. The Hessian
fly is said to cause loss to the
wheat farmer of s2O,OOO,oOO annual
ly. A single quail, upon being kill
ed, has BEEN known to have the re-
mains of two thousand Hessian
flies in it's crop and digestive tract.
We can easily see that his value
to the farmer is inestimable.
In union there is strength. Now
that we have passed the hundred
mark, let us consider how we may
best conserve bird life, and assist
in their multiplication. If every
member, or even every family
which has members in our Bird
Club, We're to put up but one bird
4 house, or box where pair of
birds could nest, there would be a
noticeable increase IN their NUMBERS
It
A pair of barn owls with family
to feed will capture more mice and
rats in night than a dozen cats.
Owlets are always hungry. A case
is on record where half grown
owl was given all the mice it could
eat. 1t swallowed eight, one after
the other. In less than three hours
it was clamering for more; SO We
know family of owls is not a
bad thing to have around the barn.
; Water is provided for the birds
on the Ford farm in winter. Mr..
Ford has built a box with an cleo
trio heater Which keeps the water
/ tepid in the coolest weather.
Martins always live in colonies.
A martin house should have at
i least four rooms, and if there are
many more rooms they are usual
~ occupied.
