6y Wilbur D Nesbtt Huz5o,- or f Your Flag and My Fla6

How did we make the flag?
 By rule? By compass, and square, and line? With pattern, and thread, and the Sempsters tool To follow the plain design? Was it only the lore that the draftsmen knew That gave us the red and the white and blue? How did we make the flag?
 Not all By measuring stitch and seam; For part of it came from a country call And part of it is a dream Is vision that led brave souls aright And gave us the red, and the blue, and white. How did we make the flag?
 In peace We fashioned it fold on fold; In war it was blent with the grim caprice The drums in their summons rolled Twas the courage alike of the quick and dead That gave us the blue, and the white, and red. How did we make the flag?
 Twas thus It came to it's grace and worth; Through all that is good in the souls of Us The banner has had its birth; Twas the holier strength of the purpose true That gave us the red, and the white, and blue. Thus have we made the flag?
 An, no! By colors that will not fade, By sinuous sweep and by deathleSS glow, Iris us that the flag has made! And it whispers today to each startold state: 'sYou must hold me high and must keep me great!'

WiId COTTON.

A common plant which grows In
score OF shapes and sizes is the milk
weed. 1t is called milkweed from the
milky juice contained in the stems
Some bear white blossoms, others pur'
pie, while the stems and leaves have q
variety Of sizes and shapes. After the
blossoms disappear the plants bear
seed pods, which are the "hangars" for
the air scouts.
Each seed has a set of wings of airy
lint. AS the pods ripen and break
open the wind lifts the light seeds and
scatters them broadcast.
Nature came very near making q
substitute for cotton t~hen she pro-
duced milkweed. In fact, the plant Is
known sometimes as wild cotton.
But the lint in the seed pods has not
the twist Of cotton fiber and therefore
cannot be used for spinning. Never
theless it provides satisfactory down
for stufing pillows, use to which fre'
quently it is applied.-Boston Journal

TRAINING BOYS TO
i. PROFIT BY FARMING
IMPORTANT PART OF THE WORK
OF THE COUNTY DEMON
sTRATIoN AGENT.
ADDS TO SCHOOL, INTEREST
. Recognized As Necessary To
the Agricultural Develop
ment OF the
State.

College Park, Md, Jan. 25.-The
records of the Extension Service for
;he past year show that one Of the
most important pieces of work done by
:he County Demonstration Agents Of
.he State has been the training of our
country boys in profitable methods Of
farming. In no section of the country
aas greater interest been aroused or Is
there sincerer wish on the part OF
Ill classes Of people to see the young
farmer of tomorrow properly encour-
aged to, educate himself for success
.ul farming. The improvement Of corn
and potato yields by following demon
Itration methods, the growing of more
profitable pigs and poultry, making
money out of the home orchard, these
are some of the things the young farm
srs enrolled by County Demonstration
Agents under the leadership Of the
State College Of Agriculture have done
and are doing. Even more important
q the revolution 1t is causing in the
way the father and mother feels to-
ward the boy. They are realizing that
the way to make him happy and con-
tented and to wed him to profitable
farm life is to give him the oppor-
tunity to farm for himself, to meet
Kith other boys, and to have bank
Recount of his own. True farm part
nership is fast becoming characteristic
: of Maryland and in future that holds
) promise of both profit and honor
many of our boys see something
worthy Of their work and ambition.
In reporting on his work among the
boys, County Agent e. F. White, Of
Queen Anne, which has held the cham
pionship for three years, says: "The
winner in our Queen Anne County
Club, J. Earl Smith, grew 110.5 BUSH
els of standardized shelled corn at
cost Of 1876 cents per bushel. The
average yield for the county, according
10 official records is 80 bushels per
acre. BY carefully selecting and grad
ing their seed corn, planting only in
well-prepared seed, beds, and giving
frequent shallow cultivation our corn
club boys have been able to raise ar
average Of "a bushels to the acre, or
s6 bushels more than the average for
the county, and at cost As per cent.
Of the county average" Nor should
we forget to add that the boy who
raises an average crop Of corn like
the above and puts the profit to his
account is certain to become a prog
ressive farmer in his home county and
. pupil in his school who sees the
value Of education as applied to farm

Lime Is Probably Used.

College Park, Nd, Jan. 25.-Reports
received by the Agricultural Extension

Agents in every section OF Maryland
indicate that lime is being more and

In this connection, valuable informa-

Grges the liberal use Of lime, saying:
