longing to be able to do something
for myself and in that way be re-
sponsible for something. l felt that
if would take the summers work
that would be doing something for
myself and so l asekd our agricul-
ture teacher for a card to fill out,
which would enter me in the sum-
mer's contest. After some very
good instructions from Mr.. ]. c..
Hogenson Estate Leader in Club
Work. l decided to do my best and
start out right in the work.
Having discussed with my father
and teacher as to what would be best
for me to plant. at last decided
to plant Pink Eye beans, because
thought the land was better
adapted for beans than any other
crop, and also because I thought that
not many Of the boys would raise
them.
l had about a quarter of an acre
of ground which was fall ploughed,
the ground being of a sandy loan
and slanted from east to west. The
land was ploughed about ten inches
deep and was ploughed about the
last of October.
In the spring OF 1916 about the
twenty-eighth of April, I began to
get the land in shape. i went over
1t with a spring-tooth harrow first
and then with leveler. The ground
was in fine condition for planting by
the third or fourth of May, but l
could not get the beans planted at
that time and so the ground got
too dry and hard. / then Through
ed ii out and watered it so that the
water soaked in good and after it
got dry enough l planted the beans
in straight rows and about IS inch
es apart. The beans were planted
from an inch and one half to two
| inches deep and when all of them
were planted. covered them over
with a light dray or harrow and by
the end of May 10th my beans were
all in.
Within about two weeks. the beans
were beginning to sprout and about
, seven or eight days later they began
to break ground and come out. 1t
rained when they were nearly all
out of the ground. which did a great
deal of good because the ground was
getting dry, and it also made them
grow faster.
While my beans were growing
good there were many weeds grow
ing and doing good also and before

! realized it had to begin and get
them out. 1t rained when they were
nearly all out of the ground, which
did a great deal of good also. 1t
did not take long to weed them and
after cultivating them good l left
them to grow until they needed fur
Their attention.
Next came the worst trial or work
of the summer and especially for
me because l disliked 1t more than
any other work of the summer. 1t
was the work of watering. dis
liked the thoughts of watering very
much and especially at nights.
suppose 1t was because / was afraid
of the dark. The first time I water
ed the beans, the watering turn came
at about midnight, which made me
feel like letting them go without be-
ing watered but on second thought,
l decided to water them and did so
hoping that it would come at diff
ferent time the next turn. The
water produced a striking result, be-
cause it made the beans grow faster
and made them look better. The
watering turn came about every two
| weeks during the season and l wat
| cred my beans each time.
When the weeds grew large enou-
gh the second time | went through
them with the cultiyator which cut
, most of the weeds and also loosen
ed the ground up and made a fine,
soft mulcuh out of It. After going
through them with the cultivator /
went through them with the hoe,
which left the beans in good shape.
They soon got too large to cultivate
and so l let them grow.
About the latter part of August
and the first of September, they
began to grow yellow and get ripe.
| waited until the first beans were
ripe and then picked them. The
beans did not get ripe all at once
and so l had to pick them as they
got ripe and so just picked the last
of them in the middle of October
and by the last of October | had my
beans threshed out.
The results of my work during the
summer was: LIST, l obtained about
seven hundred lbs of beans; End,
raised the beans that took the state
prize in the Boys and Girls Garden
Truck Contest; 3rd, received a re-
ward for my work and pin which
signifled that / had carried my sum-
mers work successfully; 4th. learn

TT for the period was $61.35. In
the COW feeding and testing work.
one boy cleared 1859, milking two
animals. and another boy, with FIVE
cows. cleared $3.50. Each boy was
in the contest for 4 months.
In examining the individual re-
cords of the boys and girls engaged
in this club work, and in reading
their accounts of how they made
their profits, one Is everywhere
struck with the enthusiasm display
ed for the work Invariably the re-
cord ends with, Il liked my work
very much and I expect 10 stay in

projects are especially valuable be-
cause OF this The young people are
showing a whole souled interest in
the many advantages OF rural life.
They are being led TO see the future
possibilities Of life on the farm,
They are no longer looking with
longing eyes 10 the city and It's ex-

can be lived at the old home.

in the garden contest, illustrates the
spirit with which the boys take hold

The trouble with many of the bat

want to hurry the charging too fast
and throw too much current into the
battery so that it dssolves the crys-
talized acid on the plates which may
not have settled uniform over all
the plate or plates, with the result
that the paste falls out of the plates
in the places where the acid had
settled the least, or where it dis
solves first, and the battery is injur-

OBSERVED THE RULES
OF CIVILIZER WARFARE

After so many sickening instances
of German inhumanity in warfare, il
is positive pleasure to read the fol
! lowing:
An Atlantic Port, Aug. 27.-Capt
Cyrus W. Crooks, master of the Am
erlcan bark Christine, which was sunk
by a German submarine August 7th
near the Azores, was entertained as
guest on board the U-boat and over
a glass Of wine was told by the Ger
man commander that he "hated to
sink American ships" Capt. Crooks
related the incident on arrival here
today on board an Italian liner.
The American captain said he was
bound home from London when his
ship was sunk. Not being armed, he
surrendered to the U-boat.
eve left the Christine in two life
boats" said Capt. Crooks, "and | was
invited by the U-boat captain in ex-
cellent English to bring three of my
men and come aboard. We were taken
into the officers cabin and after Civ
ing me receipt stating my ship had
been sunk, the commander ordered
luncheon served, including wine.
"He kept up an interesting CONVEX
sation while we were eating and more
than once declared he hated to sink
American vessels and only did so be-
cause we were at war with his coun-
try.
Another think that appeared to
worry him were stories he had heard
of sinking of life boats by submarines.
81 really can't believe these stories,'
he said, and so far as | am concern
ed no life boat will ever meet such
fate from my ship
eve spent two hours on the subma-
rine while the Germans removed from
the Christine all her supplies and
sunk her with bombs. The captain
then escorted US to our life boats,
gave us the direction of nearest land
and bid US a courteous goodbye. The
submarine was about 400 feet long
and carried two 6-inch guns. The
name signed to the receipt | have is
Capt. j. Erlinger, German navy. We
landed safely at Ponta Del Gada."
