Weston Tourists Have Nice Trip

A card received from DR.. r. d.
Watts, who motored eastward with
his family, has this to say from Chi
cago, H., under date Of June II;
"We reached this city without
accident and with the same Weston
air in our tires. Not puncture4-
and pumped up to hold to ~
pounds but once.
1--WE have camped among the
Mormons of Utah; the sheepherders
of Wyoming, with jackrabbits ga
lore; in the yards Of thrifty Nebras'
ka farmers and in the schoolyard'
Of Iowa, where floods ragged ter

whence we came and we take pride

FARM NOTES BY COUNTY AGENT

Some very interesting facts were
brought out during our recent tour
Of the wheat counties. Nearly ev'

ing, either consciously or uncon'
ciously. The results of his expert
ments are interesting, whether they
be positive or negative. 1t was Tor
the purpose of seeing the results
and studying the methods employed
ON a few of the most prominent OF
these experiments that the trip was
planned.
In almost every community WIS.,
tied we saw some fields that Will
make practically a full crop without
further rainfall. We also saw IN
practically every community some
fields that are almost total fall
ure. The methods of farming in
the good fields were very similar
all the way through. Early plow'
ing and thorough weed control were
the outstanding essential factors,
late plowing and weeds are found
the very close companions of the
poor crop in every case.
We saw men plowing summer
fallow on June 22 on three differ
ent farms, but We saw no gooc
crops on these farms. Next year
regardless of weather. the drought
will be blamed for a poor crop or
these fields now being plowed.
We saw some splendid demon
strations of the superiority OF Ger
tain varieties of wheat and barley
over other varieties under tho
same conditions.
AT the Moro experiment station
where we spent day, we fount
the most interesting work Of all
Here varitetal testing, crop rota
tion systems and tillage methods
have been carried on for six years
It is well worth any farmers time
to visit this station and study the
results.

city at l1:45 o'clock Thursday
night. Mr.. Fuson was a sufferer
from heart trouble and had been
in failing health for the past six
months, although his condition was
not regarded as serious and he at
tended daily to his work. An at

date cause of his death.

ena, Miss Maggie Fuson.
Seven grandchildren and two

One of the most pathetic instances

Gently when an American soldier act

several Americans discovered his W
brother, Joseph Ash, among the dead.
The brothers, members of different
companies, had met only a few days

there and was mortally wounded.

was ordered to the rear lines with a
party of wood choppers.
The wood choppers were working
near the cemetery at the time of the
funeral and the chaplain asked them
to be pallbearers. In the midst of
the service the chaplain read the
name of Joseph Ash. The brother,
who stood with barred head in the
small group of soldier mourners,

WORK

Let me do my work from day to day,
In field or forest, at the desk or loom,
In roaring market-place or tranquil
room;
Let me but find it in my heart to say,
When vagrant wishes beckon me
astray,
"This is my work, my blessing, not
my doom;
"Of all who liveSL am the one by
whom
This work can best be done in the
right way"
Then shall l see it not too great, nor
small,
To suit my spirit and to prove my
powers;
Then shall l cheerfully greet the la
boring hours,
And cheerful.y turn when the long
shadows fall
Al eventide to play and love and rest,
because l know for me my work is
best.

PATRIOT DOLLARS

All the dollars in the world can not
buy victory, Victory is not purchase
albeit is won. Dollars can work
for victory only in so far as they are
converted into labor and materials.
A dollar boarded is a Stacker; a dol
lar wasted is a traitor; a dollar saved
is a patriot, doubly so when loaned
to the government.
A boarded dollar represents idle
power; a wasted dollar represents
wasted power; a dollar saved repre-
sents power saved, labor saved, ma
terials saved. Loaned to your gov
eminent, it represents power, labor,
and materials in action, on the firing
inc, over the top. And more-it rep
resents reserve power, energy stored,
purchasing power conserved for it's
owner.

But ma, she kind o. carried on, Just

That's all it is, this warl"
But most the time she'd answer me
by snortin' out, "My laws!"
So, son, l got plumb tuckered out ex-

In fact, / got real angry like about

AnG ripped things loose. and packed
her out to see a movie show.

The way he hurled that Battle Song
across that one-horse room,
He made it sure sound cumbersome
the splittin' day o. dooml
Well, somehow when he finished it,
we drifted ali outside
Without a-clappin' much, my son, a
kind O. movin' tide
A%-mingled up O. tears and God. Yet,
lad, l felt right blue
About your ma-and also, son., we
hadn't heard from you.
l turns the old car westward then,
and throws her into high
And SEE to MA, right softly like,
Nov, ma, l wouldn't cry!"
Well, women sure is strange, my son,
that's all / got to say.
Her eyes like stars, she turns to me,
her old, proud, .ofty way:
She seems to be a-lookin' through the
