while at the present time all ma
tionaf banks are members of the sys-
tem. said the appeal. Tess than 100
stats banks and trust companies have
come In. As q result approximately
two-thirds Of the country's banks are
non-member banks. and the federal

pf the country's financial responsibility

POLLENIZER FOR PRUNEs

The Agricultural Experiment sta
ton Of California advises this office
that the Clyman Plum is very salts
factory pollenizer for the Tragedy
Prune. -E.
They do not give instructions as to
how far the pollen from one prune
tree will be carried, but observations
of other varieties of fruits show that
the pollen from one tree will be carried
by from two to four trees away.
This Clyman Plum is free stone,
firm flesh,- very prolific and early.
Wickson says that it is the "leading
early plum for shipment" I believe
if was setting out Tragedy prune
orchard I would set every sixth row
the Clyman plum, beginning with the
third row from one end to the other.
this would give me two good fruits
for the early market.

Worth Trying

Worth Trying
Did you say you may have trouble?
If you wish to make it double,
Just tell your neighbor in confiden-
tial way.
Spread it out where folks can know
it,
Let your face and actions show it,
Do not let soul forget it from the
dawn until close of day.
Would your soul forget its trouble
Make it vanish like bubble?
Then you put that little trouble in a
closet, out of sight,
Bid it stay there all unheeded,
Then you start to work at something
that requires mind and might.
Set yourself to work for others
or your struggling, burdened broth
,ers.
You will find so many burdens heavier
than the one you bear,
That your trifling little trouble,
Soon will vanish like bubble.
And you yourself, my brother, will
forget twas ever there.
