HUGE TURNP INSPIRED
LONGFELLOW TO WRITE
First Poem Recalled on ll2th
Anniversary of His Birth
Today

The 112th anniversary TO-DAY or the usrth
OF Henry W. Jongfellow recalls verse
which Miss Annie T.. Henkels, formerly
school teacher here, believes TO be the great
poets first effort
Miss Henkels who lives at 1912 jefferson
street, explains her discovery Of the poem
and a curious tradition that went with It.
When I was teaching school," she said,
"a boy in my class one morning recited the
curious little verse. l asked him about IL.
He told me the story a II had been told him
by his parents.
when the poet Longfellow was nine
years old his schoolmaster wanted him TO
write composition Little Henry like all
other children, shrank from the undertaking.
His master, however insisted. and finally
sent him back of the schoolhouse TO compose
an original poem.
The school was across from the barn of a
MT. Finney, where an enormous turnip grew
The turntp fascinated young Longfellow.
Half an hour later he returned with his
slate, on which was written his first poem"
The poem which Miss Henkeis offers as the
Longfellow's maiden effort is as follows:
Mr.. Finney's Turnip
Ar. FinHey had a tuyrip.
Aud 1t 0ret1 aud orcto aud creU,
And IL 0rew behind the barn.
And the turrip did no harm.

Longtellow's birthday. February 81. 1907,
brings TO mind the part that Philadelphia
played in the poem "Evangelne," which
most critics esteem as his greatest work
The Acadians descendants OF French, who
would not take the oath of loyalty TO Eng
land. after terrible suffering reached that
peaceful country washed by the Delaware's
waters'
At Fifth and Pine streets phlanthroplc
Philadelphians erected wooden huts for them,
and they continued to reside in this city as
French neutrals" The wooden huts re-
mained for years under the name of neutral
huts.' Shortly after the Revolution small
pox claimed many of the refugees.
The Acadians eked out an existence by
spinning linsey from scraps of cloth which
they found about the city. Philadelphia voted
about $40 900 in all for their support They
numbered about 450 when they landed here.

COWARD FARMING IN SONORA.

Yesterday, ,(April 26) MT. A. Conard, a former resident of Nogales, who lives now in Los Angeles, having heavy landed and mining interests in Sonora, who had arrived from the south Friday evening, toook the train to Tucson, en route home for g. short visit, but he expects to re- turn to Sonora within week or so, his extensive interests re- quiriug his attention, says the Oasis.
 Ia conversation with the Oasis reporter MT. Conard stated that the farmers he has been intro ducing upon the large tract of land he purchased several years ago, in the vicinity of Noria station, on the line of the South ern Pacific of Mexico, about seventy five miles south from Nogales, are pushing their work of cultivation with all energy, and that there will be large acreage planted before the sum- mer rains come along. He has located eight actual cultivators, and expects to have twenty five or thirty before the season ends. There' are four tractors there in operation at the present time, and MT. Conard stated that the fifth is at Nogales now. It will be sent across the line Monday and will go to ,Noria by the first train going in that direction af- ter that day. Beans, the chief crop that is planting-not only the ordinary pink bean of Mexico but castor beans, which will grow there in great profusion, and are very profitable crop.
 For raising beans the land is plowed and narrowed thorough ly and the seed planted, and the summer rains bring on the young plants. Ia the fall the beans are harvested, and tRe same land then seeded in wheat, as @ winter crop.
 The lands mentioned are upon the great mesa extending south | from Llano to PeSqueira, a dis tance of about 100 miles, which is skirted on either side by mountain ranges. It is a fertile region, and work such as that done by MT. Conard is bringing it out as one of great natural adaptability.
 Mir. Conard stated that he finds conditions in Sonora as very satisfactory. Every atten- tion is given by officials and l Al IL and requirements of those in- vesting and improving the re- sources of the State, and all are doing everything possible to preserve friendly relations with foreigners coming into the coun- try for investment. /
