Mr.. Weston.
We'll, this contest is judged as much
on the low cost Of producing the corn
as on the amount If l equal the best
in the amount and beat them on the
cost l win, don't ~
That's business. That's business
enthused his father.
But you're bound to use some nj
trate and stuff"
Yes, sir The land isn't rich enough
vet to make big crop without it, but
every pound Of laruyar1 stuff l put in
it requires just SO much less CONNER
ciaI stuff"
I'll help every way l can. If you
see where l can he of any use count on

"If you are going into this thing
sure enough to learn You better get a
shovel and be on hand when | come
over for the first load,' answered Joe
tom will be there" interrupted his
father dryly. Hes started this thing
about wanting to learn farming; now
he's got to keep it up"
ooh, I'm no gutter" asserted Tom,
getting red. Had no idea Of lodging.
I'll be there, and I'll work too"
"All right See you later" Joe Wes-
ton mounted the pony brought to the
front door for him and, waving fare
well, loped down the road toward
home.
"EoWdy, stranger? Light ar rest

tending not to know him after his alb
sence.
Believe l will. Here, ma; here's a
half dozen squirrels and a nice fat
little wild turkey hen all dressed for
you" Joe handed over the bundle
"Those squirrels will make a bully pie,
and guess you know what to do with
that wild turkey" The game had
been carefully cleaned and kept on
fee in the big refrigerator at the Raj
stOns'.

We've been Twin pretty high our

Mr.. Weston. "Rear, deer, birds, wild
turkey, squirrels-and you gettin' paid

well come to think Of it, the scheme
is pretty fine. But, then, pa, think of
all the hard years we've had-no fun
and powerful poor eating" suggested
Joe sObcrly
"Thats so, and I've about come to
the idee that the harder a man works
the more fun he's goin' to have some

UNREASONABLE showers fell OF
~ the corn crop. Joe kept thu
soil stirred lightly with a han(
- rake so as to conserve tn,
moisture and applied POO pounds of nj
trate Of soda when the stalks wer,
tWo-thirds grown.
That gave the crop a strong impetus
and tassels began to show above thu
dark green leaves, some of which were
almost five inches across. A gOOt
soaking rain fell followed by a cloudy
day and a days driZZle. That nigh
it shoWcrcd internationally. and Joe an(
his father went down about dusk be
tween showers. His father had told
ninl he heard something rustling about
in the corn. The idea of a COW or a
horse in there working havoc sent a
cold cbiil down JocS back.
The two stopped at the fence and
listened in the dead stiffness.
There was a cautious rustling. faint
but plain. 1t was sort of whispered

than he could hear.
clear that. That's it! Some o.
them rcsliy calves in there" eXcitedly
urged Mr.. Weston.
The siJildut rustic was heard again
In fact, it never seemed to stop. Oc-
casioualIy there was louder noise
Joe laughed
"Thal's the first time ever heard
corn groW! he said
"IIpard it crow? That's the first
ever heard C that sort Of fooishness,"
snorcd his father,
"Thats what | saiI-heard it grow
That noise is just the unfolding Of the
leaves. The rain is furnishing plenty
Of moisture ana the sap is rushing up,
and the leaves are simply opening fast

"IlI believe mighty near anything my
son says about corn, but blame my cats
if | 20 that far as to say l heard corn
grow" said Mr.. Weston. with much
distrust in his tone.
"All right, then. What makes that
rustIing in there?" asked Joe.
"Pesky calf-or-or jay birds roostin
in it, or-or wind" He ran out of con-
lectures.
you know it amt possible for a calf
to be in there because we been all
round the fence; it's tight and the gate
is locked. Now, cut out the calf" sug-
gested Joe.
well, how about jay birds or wind,
Or yarmints?' asked Mr.. Weston hope
fully. He was determined that it
should not be unfolding corn leaves
that he heard.
Did you ever hear of jay birds roost-
ing in corn-honest, nowY" insisted
Joe.
"Well, don't knows I ever did"
"All right; jay birds and calves are
It Of the question. Do you feel any
1recze to rustic the corn?"

Before going to work on his book

work Of hauling was completed on the
third day-forty-siX loads in alI-and
every bit went on the corn acre Then
the young oats and the fertilizer were
turned under The ground was already
mellow and full of vegetable matter.
"Iu one more year this Will be The

remarked Joe. 1T will make Il hun

Link and Mrs. Weston and Annie
had busted themselves cutting up the

a tremendous job. Joe occupied the
next day sweeping up leaves in the
grove, packing them across the road in
sacks to spread in the rows. After
the potato cutting was under way and
the end in sight Link was called into
the game and helped with the leaves.
The next day Mr.. Weston plowed
the acre for the potatoes, turning it I'M

turning under stuff had helped it won.

The rows were then laid off with the
bull tongue plow, and Link and Joe
commenced dropping the potatoes in,
after first scattering a liberal quantity /
Of vegetable grower commercial fer |
tilizer in the bottom of the rows. Then |
the sacks Of leaves were taken and /
the seed potato pieces covered three or
four inches deep. One Of the horses
was hitched to a drag made of a square
piece of timber eight feet long, and
which was hitched by single tree to
the horse. Joe stood on the timber
and drove the horse at right angles to
the rows. 1t covered the potatoes per-
fectly and packed the dirt on them
anu at the same time smOothed the
surface of the field.
Link looked on and finally scratched
his head rehectiyely as he remarked:
DAT looks ter me like er funny way
ter plant 'taters. l alters seen 'em

"Most folks do that for two reasons
one to keep the water from standing
on the seed and rotting them, and the
other is to have plenty Of loose dirt to
keep the seed moist and for the young
potatoes to develop in"
"Well, whut's de reason O disT"
Ever notice an Irish potato plant
with a root and young potatoes on it?'
"NOssuh."
"Wel, l pulled one up and studied
It. The young potatoes are formed
above the roots which grow from the
bottom of the main stem. l put those
caves in there above the part that will
be the root to give loose place for
he young potatoes to develop. And it
will make the potatoes cleaner and

PRESIDENT cARRANzA WARNED

U. S. Troops Won't Retire and Any
Hostile Move Spells Trouble.
Washington, June 20.-The issue of
war or peace with Mexico hung in
the balance tonight, awaiting Genl
Carranza's decision as to the course
he will pursue. Officials here be-
lieved that 4S hours might bring a
clear understanding of what the i'm
mediate future has in store.
Carranza Arraigned.
A note signed by Secretary Lansing
conveying President Wilson's rejec-
tion of the demand for withdrawal of
American soldiers from Mexico, ac-
companied by a specific warning that
an attack on the troops will lead
to the gravest consequences" was
telegraphed to Mexico City by Eliseo
Arredondo, Mexican ambassador des-
ignate. In plain terms it accuses
Carranza of having brought matters
to the verge of war by open hostility
toward the United States and failure
to safeguard even the lives of Amer
leans in Mexico or on the border
from the lawless elements among his
countrymen.
In sternest terms the note repudi-
ates and resents imputations of bad
faith and ulterior motives brought
against the Washington government
in the Mexican communication to
which it is a reply. Carranza is in
formed in so many words that pro-
lection of it's own borders is the only
object sought by the United States
and is told that that object will be
pursued whatever the consequences
may be-.

Monday ordered seven destroyers and
nine other small war vessels to Mex
lean waters to join units of the At

A Chinaman clad in the typical
laundryman's costume, entered a
street car last winter and took a seat
next to an Irish woman of generous
proportions. He shivered and shook
himself, and then with that yearning
for human sympathy which extremes
of temperature bring to the surface,
remarked to his neighbor:
Belly coldl"
The Irish woman was not socially
inclined. She turned on him scorn-
fully and snapped out:
We'll, If ye'd tuck yer shirt inside
yer pants, ye haythen, yer belly
wouldn't be cold"
