Some Things | Love

| love the beautiful springtime,
with its gentle showers of rain. |
love to watch the growing crops
from which we gather grain.
| love to hear the sweet birds
sing; they cheer me on my way to
heaven above, place of rest where
we shall dwell some day
love to rise in the early morn
and to my labor 60. Hove to watch
the grain that falls when | begin to
SOW. While some fall on stony
ground; the hot winds come, they
blast. While others fall on deep
soil, we find they always last.
love the good old summertime,
when nature is all in tune. | love
to be alone with God, and there with
him commune.
love to watch the setting sun,
sinking in the distant west | love
to think when the day is done, for
God I've done my best
love the glorious autumn days,
when the leaves begin to fdl'; rC-
minding me of that great day when
shall meet you all. That glorious
day is almost here; am waiting it
with delight. Then we shall dwell
in perfect peace that nothing will
destroy.
| love to see the winter come, it's
part of Gods great plan, The cold
and stormy weather, love it like a
man.
love to prepare to 20 to church,
and there the gospel preach. Ilove
to be in Sunday school, a class of
children teach. | love to tell of
Jesus love to all who will repent.
| love to keep the Sabbath day till
all the day is spent.
So time would fail to tell of love
for things that come from God. Tll|
tell il more to him when I'm be-
meath the sod. | ask you all who
read these lines to accept salvation
plan; to live for God and love His
works till we meet In yonders land.

Spray Thoroughly.

Spray Thoroughly,
Continue the spraying Of the stone
fruits, such as peaches, plums and
cherries with the $3.50 or self.boiled
lime sulphur solution adding IL
pounds of arsenate Of lead paste to
each 50 gallons of the solution. The
fruits have grown considerably since
the last application and, consequently,
it is not so we'll protected as 1t was.
In doing the spraying, remember that
only the portion Of the fruits covered
by the solution will be protected
against the ravages Of the insects or
diseases This being the case it can
be seen that thoroughness is one OF
the great factors in spraying, You
cannot do the work thoroughly with
out some Of the solution dripping
from the trees so don't worry about
that. 1t is usually during this season
of the year that brown rot and scab
are raging on the peach crop and the

SAVING THE WHEAT
AND OAT CROPS
Land In Wheat And Oats
Should Not Be Idle During
The Winter.

This year great care should be
taken in saving the wheat and oat
crop. Don't let these crops get too
ripe before cutting or they will
shatter out and much grain will be
lost. The proper time to cut these
grains is when the kernel is in the
dough stage. This can be determiu-
ed by mashine a few Of the ker.
nels between the fingers. Usually
about twelve bundles make a good
sized shock. If too many bundles
are used drying is too slow. If too
few bundles are used there is
danger of the shock blowing down.
By all means, in this state each
shock should be capped. This is
done by spreading out the heads
and butts of one or two OF the
bundles and placing on top of the
shock. The cap protects the shock
from weather and from birds.
Many farmers allow the grain to
stand in the shock until it is dam
aged by weather. In many cases
the kernels all sprout. Just as
soon as the straw in the bundles
is thoroughly dry it should be stack
ed. In the stack the middle must
be kept very full, and the outside
bundles have a good slope to them
or the rains will do serious damage
Every year farmers lose good deal
of grain, and have the quality re-
duced because of not taking proper
care in harvesting, shocking and
stacking the crop.
Lands that are in wheat and oats
should not be allowed to be bare
during the fall and winter. BY
discing or stirring the soil with
some tool as soon as the grain is
off, COW peas or some similar crop
can be put in. This will furnish
a great deal of pasture or hay late
in the season. Usually a good
many peas can be picked, which
will be profitable, considering the
high cost Of COW peas. The materi-
al that is left after pasturing or
picking the peas can be turned
under, which will add manure to
the soil. A large manure supply
in the soil increases its moisture
holding capacity, makes the soil
work easier, and makes the plant
food already in the soil available so
it can be used by the growing crop,
A soil short in manure is dead
soil, nearly all our soils should have
a larger supply of it, Cow peas, if
turned under, will also add nitrogen
to the soil. 1t is the element that
gives the rank green growth to the
growing crop. If COW pea seed can
not be secured put in some early
rye, wheat or oats, All Of them
will furnish a splendid fall and
winter pasture and cut down the
feed bill. With the present price of
corn and other feed crops it is very
important to grow some green crops
and cut ont some Of The concentrat-
ed feeds. These crops will also
keep the soil from washing so that
next years crop will be more profit.
able. The top soil is always the
best. Some green growing crop
during the fall and winter will hold
this surface soil,

THE nation NEEDS
FRUIT PRODUCTS
Orchard Work in May and June ls
Very lmportant-cultivate Or.
chards Until August.
By J. S. Knox, Horticulturist, EXten-
sion Division University OF
Arkansas.

The nation needs Arkansas fruit
products for food and every orchard
ist in the state should take precaution
not only to have a large crop, but the
best crop obtainable. Good fruit can
be secured only by proper care and
by continuing the orchard work in
May and June. Possibly there is no
other season of the year when the
work in the orchard is Of greater i'm
portance than it is during these
months.
This being the case, it is all i'm
portant that we should cling to
our orchard work and see that the
fruit trees have the attention which
they merit. Just as long as our or
chard work is made a sideline and
neglected when the real farming sea-
son comes on just so long will we be
harvesting a crop of diseased or
wormy fruit that will scarcely bring
returns sufficient to pay for the har-
vesting and packing. There is only
one way to grow first class fruit and
that is to take the best Of care of the
orchard. II we fail to continue the
spraying and cultivation through the
growing season we have very poor
chance of gathering a crop Of good
sized and perfect fruits. The ques-
tion is often asked, Can I afford to
spray my orchard three or four times
each season." AS an answer to this
question I would simply say, ASK
your neighbor who has tried it?"

SENIOR CLASS PLAY
Drew a Very Large Crowd at the High
School Auditorium Last Evening
All Greatly Pleased
With II.

"The REGENERATION of Aunt Mary"
drew very large crowd to the High
School auditorium last evening and to
show their appreciation Of the crowd
the members of the Senior Class gave
a splendid performance of the play.
Aunt Mary is an old spinster, who
has spent her life in the country. Her
nephew. Jack, living in the city, falls
into a number of scrapes and she be-
comes so insensed that she changes
her will in order that he may receive
nothing. Later she is persuaded to
come to New York where she falls in
with a number of Jacks friends, who
proceed to show her a good time. Up
on her return to the country she be-
comes lonesome for the joys of a big
city and finally decided to return. A
very pretty romance threads its way
through the play.
In the title role, Miss Mary Boyd
Tulley played her part excellently and
showed that she had much talent for
acting. Miss Margaret Downing as
Betty Burnett looked very beautiful
and charming and acts with much
grace and ease. Mr. Harold Caplinger
as Jack had the part of a hayward
youth who finally discovered that life
was not altogether a place to SOW
wild oats.
The star of the evening however was
Miss Bess Lindsay Bell as Lucinda,
the country girl Miss Bells acting
was splendid, she having perfect facial
control and knowing her part per-
fectly. 1t was indeed unfortunate that
Lucinda" could not have been fea-
tured more.
Taken in all the play was one of the
best ever given by any SENIOR Class.

The Pageant of History, given by
the pupils of the Washington Con-

tire community. If happiness Is mea-
sured by success, the teachers, head
ed by their able principal, Miss King,
should be very happy women. The
labor, thought, and heart-interest
which they so freely gave to this won
derful pageant declared itself in ev-
cry scene. Charmed was the large
audience, proud are we of our chill
dren and our children's mentors.
To mention individuals, who so rich

ever, have we witnessed better piece

Next was presented "The Landing

living models that had been hearlded
by the very excellent Mistress of the

the threshold of our own America.
Next was shown the Indian in the

of praise were sung.
"The Spirit of '76" was then pre-

"A Colonial Garden Party, at which
the stately minuet was danced by
Mistress Mary Martin and her distin
