DEA X FOL K s:
r HOPE you will have as
pleasant an outing this
summer as the 1,400 wom-
en- who work in the Wilson 4
Co. plant, Chicago, are now en-
joying.
These / 400 women, some of
whom are married and are
mothers of young babies (the
babies are allowed to go with
their mothers), are sent to
Camp Wilsonia, located about
fifty miles from Chicago on
Lake Michigan in the famous
sand dunes section of Indiana
Where they can baths At will
where they sleep On wide,
serssned-in porchss that are con-
neetsd with two large
dormitories constructed
especially for them
where they can roam through
grounds that are beautiful with
wonderful foliage and Howsrs--
where they dine on the fat Of the
Indicating Wilson 4 Co.'S
Certified Food Products--
where they have . royal rest
aad good time
ALL WITHOUT ONE CENT
OF EXPENSE TO THEM
SELvES-
and, in addition, they receive pay
while away.
This is not charity. II is mere
ly a mark Of appreciation and
consideration on the part of
their employer, Wilson & Co.,
who believes that the health
and happiness Of its co-workers
are essential to theirs and to
its business.
The Mutual Service, one Of the
many constructive subsidiary
organizations connected with
Wilson & Co., plans all the year
round to help these l, 400 wom-
en- workers In every possible
way, but one Of. its greatest
services is arranging the de.
tails for these summer outings
The talented young women

have charge of the Mutua
Service, prefer to do this kline
of work to any other in tht
whole wide world. They SAY
their reward is greater than il
they took positions with com
mercial angles to them only.
It is a great thing for the hap
piness Of working womanhood
that young women Of this type
like to do things for their sis
ter workers that bring roses to
the cheeks of tired mothers
and their babies and give
them a chance to see the moon
light and the starlight and the
sunlight unobstructed by tall
buildings and narrow streets
to give them a chance to hear
the birds sing and to inhale the
pure air that abounds in Camp
Wilsonia - to give them a
chance to dig into and to play
in the soil of Gods country.
Do you wonder that happiness
abounds among the workers in
the. Wilson h Co organiza-
tions?
Don't you see how these little,
thoughtful courtesies help to
uphold the, spirit Of loyalty
that is the bedrock of the
Wilson & Co. success, and VIII,
there is so much meaning tt
the slogan, "rhe Wilson labe
protects your table?"

CHAMPION WATER
MELON GROWER

MIR. G. ". Wall of Monticello
IS one of the States champion
watermelon growers, according
t J. S. Knox Of the Extension
Division, University of Ark
ansas, who says: Mr.. Wall has
IS acres planted to this crop and
he IS expecting a net income OF
500 per acre from the field.
There are from two to five mel
ons Of from 20 to 40 pounds
weight TO the vine. The 40
pound melons sell readily at
500 each and some have
brought $3.50 each.
The land on which the mel
on8 are grown is a rather thin
graVelly upland that would
scarcely produce over f-3 to Il
bale Of cotton to the acre. The
rows are placed 10 feet apart
and the hills are made II feet
apart in the row. For fertilizer
NJ. Wall uses one good manure
fork full of well rotted stable
manure to each hill and then
supplements this with hand
full Of a fertilizer made by mix
ing equal parts of acid phosphate
and eotton-seed meal. All i'll
shaped or rotten ended melons
are removed from the vines as
soon as discovered because Mr.
Wall says they take up plant
food that should go to the good
melons.

APT EALS TO FARMERS
TO RAISE MORE HOGS

Dear Mr.. Farmer
The most successful farmers
are those who lives in a neigh
borhood which is alive to the
benefit of co-operation-work-
ing together.
Now that the control Of
disease is almost assured, the
growing of hogs for market is
said to be the most profitable
business on the farm.
Hogs are now very high in
price and all authorities seem to
agree that pork is sure to remain
high for several years.
Hogs must be sold in car lots
and bring higher price when
the car contains only one kind
or breed, and all of about the
same weight.
Each neighborhood ought 10
have a farmers club and hold
meetings where all questions can
be discussed and adopt some line
of action best suited to the
majority for the growing and
shipping of hogs in ear lots.
Success in hog business de
ponds largely upon market and
market facilities and depends
upon the grower for regulation.
Are YOU in favor Of trying To
organize a Club?
We want to call meeting of
5 to 10 Of your leading farmers
at your school house to talk the
matter over.
VIII you cooperate with me
in the work-won't YOU please
write to me by return mail so
may know whether you are in
terested
Cordially yours,
(Signed) Chas. E. Carter.
