Miss Nan Keller concealed a very
warm heart beneath her prim eXte-
rior. Some of US are born shy and
Miss Nan was afflicted that way. In
all her four years at the hospital she
had never succeeded in endearing
herself to anybody And, like most
shy people, she craved sympathy,
which she seemed destined never to
get.
She got sometimes from the
house surgeon. Charlie Abbott had
been two years in the General hos
pital and he was to leave in June, to
take over his fathers practice. He
had adOred Miss Nan from the mo-
ment he first saw sometimes.
Sometimes she seemed to him like
an animated autOmaton. When his
sympathetic approaches were coIdIy
repealed he hated Miss Nan. What
right had a girl to have a face like
that and wonderful red-brown hair,
if she had heart like an icicle?
Miss Nan, though her wOman's in
tuition told her that the house sur
geon liked her, trusted rather to her
brain, which asked her how she could
be sure. Wasn't it her impuIsive
heart, asked the brain, that read into
Charles Abbott's actions sentiments
which were not there? Then Miss
Nan would freeze up hard and Char
lie Abbott would call himself a dou-
ble-dyed fool
AS, for instance, on the evening
when they found themselves off duty
at the same hour, and he asked per-
mission to take her home in his car.
Miss Nan somehow managed to &C
Cept. Her heart was beating wildly.
The proximity of the two inside the
car made each dream secretly of a
car like that, owned jointly, and.
Well, what's the use? Miss Nan
spoke in mOnOSYIlables all the drive.

After that she hardly said word to
him.

It is strange, but-we1, it so hap

of half a dozen infants, ranging in

Northern Farmers Coming.
Many northern farmers are coming
into this country and doing good farm
ing, but Mr. Greenwich is native born.
His work proves two things-frst, that
to be able to do as good farming as
anyone, tobacco farmers need only to
get to reading and studying about their
work; and, secondly, there are few
wornout tobacco soils, even those nat
urally thin. which cannot, by proper
handling, be made to produce profit
able crops. Thriving tobacco, corn,
peas and other crops where once red
gals show what can be done by the
man who looks ahead and who cares
for his soil.

Of rebuilding rural life, of making the
waste fields fertile, Of establishing at.

he loves natures way of doing things.
High-priced labor makes II impera-
tive for him to use labor saving nipple

of the main reasons why he makes
money farming. The strong teams and
labor-saving implements lift him above

his life. 1t gives him an opportunity
to enjoy life. He uses his brain more
and his hands less.

There is loud chuckling in British
naval circles over the latest story:
Somewhere in the North sea" a GER
tain fiOtilla was ordered, to proceed to
sea for gunnery practice. During the
practice heavy fog came on. and the
Ship whose turn it was to fire did not
sight the target until within 300 yards
range. She Immediately opened fire,
and blew the target clean out Of the
water. The senior officer of the flo
tilla. who is noted for his caustic
tongue, thereupon made the following
signal to the vessel in question: rs. o.

MAKING WORKOUT TOBACCO LANDS

Maryland Farm Of 6 Acres Of Rolling Land Made Fertile by Intel

Stock-Larger Part Of Crops Grown are Fed to Farm AMI
maIs-Rotation Of Crops Is Practiced.

(By @. H. Afford. State Demonstration
Agent. Maryland)
]. c. Greenwell of St. Mary's
county, Maryland, is making good soil
out of poor and making money at the
same time. Because of the work Of re-
storing the worn, quilted lands is a
fundamental process in remaking the
tobacco districts, and because Mr.
Greenwich has done such notable work
along this line. l thought it worth
while to pay his farm a visit
There are few farms which would
more richly reward farmer for a
visit. One hundred and sixty-four
acres of rolling land and every acre
showing the effect of intelligent and
loving care. On all this farm there
are not more than ten acres that have
not been made fertile by lime, acid
phosphate, legumes and live stock.
Few gullies have not been reached !;
but there are broad acres where
clovers and grasses grow luxuriantly,
which still bear evidence of the time
when they were marred by gullies.

ductive and adding to his bank account

For the first three days chicks may
be fed a mixture of equal parts hard

Mr.. Greenwell grows practically all
Of the feed and food consumed on his
farm. He does not send money to
other sections Of the country to pay
for corn, hay, bacon. lard, canned
goods, mules and horses and other
and it is not necessary for him to dump
his farm products on the market when
prices are low.
There is a large fertile garden just
back of the dwelling. The soil is very
fertile and plants are grown practical
ly every month in the year. AS soon
as one crop is harvested, another kind
Of vegetable adapted to the season is
planted in its place. In cases where
vegetable occupies the soil for a con-
siderable time, the succeeding crop Is
planted between the rows, or even be-
tween the plants in the rows.
He not only fully realizes the value
of systematic rotation of crops, but
he also knows the great importance Of
a rotation in the garden and the keep
ing of a supply of fresh vegetables all
the year round. The average farmer
gives little attention to the garden and
on many farms IL the mother fails to
look after the garden, few vegetables
are grown.
Utilizes Advantages.
He is fully aware OF the numerous
advantages his section has for the eco
nomical growing of live stock. He
utilizes the many advantages to the
fullest extent. The land is compare
lively cheap and for this reason he de-
ponds largely upon grazing for the
necessary feeds for all live stock. He

imagined, the interest has become in
tense among aviatOrs and the manu-
facturers of aeropfanes and motors.
Inquiry upon inquiry has poured
into the Aero Club of America regard
ing details of the transcontinental
aerOplane competition for the Pulit-
ger cup and the cash prizes, the first
of which is $4,000.
To meet the special and public de-
mand for information as to how this
great national aerial derby is to be
conducted. the Aero Club of America
sets forth the project with its patriotic
and progressive objects and tentative
ly-for the officials are still holding
themselves open to suggestions from
aviatOrs and firms entering their
brands Of machines-have formulated
the rules and conditions of the con-
test.
Many Important Prizes.
''The Aero Club of America" the
statement reads, has offered q first
prize of. $4,000 to be awarded the avi-
ator winning the contest under the
conditions to be herewith described.
There will be about fifteen controls
Qanding statiOns) on the route. and
each city which is made q control will
give prizes, making a total of from
100000 to $15O,OOO, from which fund
eight principal prizes and other spe-
cial prizes will be awarded-the first
eight as follows: First prize. $4,000 |;
second, $4,000; third, $4,000; fourth,
$500; fifth, 5000; sixth. $500; sew
enth, $1,000; eighth, $780,"
Special prizes will be given for the
host time AAtweep controls and for
the best demonstration With radio,
sending messages to land stations, for
the making Of maps for the war de-
partment and Of Photographic fins Tor
aeronautical maps Of the first grect
aerial highway.
The winner Of the Pulitzer trophy
will, of course, be the first aviator
who lands at the final control on the
Pacific coast. But when 1t comes to
the awarding the cash prizes certain
penalizations of time are to be con-
sidered for changes in the motor and
aeroplane parts Of the machine dur
ing their transcontinental journey. A
set Of these penalizations regarding
motor changes. repairs and alterations
has already been tentatively drawn up.
forming, as nearly as possible, a con-
sensus of the suggestions of entrants
and aeroplane makers.

Whatever the route chosen, the dis

peas, soy beans. crimson clover. red
clover and alfalfa have all been grown;
even . growth of weeds is considered
helpful. Mr.. Greenwell says that the
main trouble with the WORKOUT to-
bacco lands 10 lack of humus. He
grows legumes to fill his soil full OF
humus and nitrogen and to furnish
valuable feed.
The policy of furnishing the soil an
abundance of vegetable matter is pur-
sued on every part OF the farm. Such
crops as the clovers, tobacco, corn and
wheat are grown in the rotation. Grim.
son clover is always planted in the to-
bacco and corn at the last working.
The idea Of keeping the soil full of
decaying vegetable matter is always
kept in mind; and the rough feeds are
almost entirely consumed by live
stock, the manure going onto the poor
est spots. 1t is this policy of persist
ent soil. feeding that has increased the
productiveness Of this farm until it
yields an average of more than 1000
