Observation-Disclosures

Madison Returned soldiers, ma
rines, nurses and sailors who take the
winter dairy course at the College of
Agriculture will be granted the educa-
tional bonus of $50 for each month of
attendance, according to a statement
made by E. A. Fitzpatrick, sec
rotary of the state educational board.
The late enactment of the educational
bill kept many young men who were
already engaged in work from enter
ing college at the beginning of the
year, and it is erpected that the de-
cision of the board will be of special
advantage to them. The course, which
has been given each winter since
1890, will begin on Nov. and close on
Jan. 20.

timers could hit it with two hands !
When Freeman made his record and
played with Washington there was
quite a short right field wall there.
Why, there were short right fields all
the way around the National League
that year. Chicago was short, too, and
so was the old Walpole street field in
Boston. Freeman was a hitter like
Cravatn, Delehanty and Crawford,
probably nearer Crawford's style than
any of the recent players. Roger
Conner, Dan Brouthers and Sam
Thompson were the real hard hitters
Of the old days and they took swings
something like Ruth, but as / said
before, Ruth can hit harder with one
hand than they could hit them with
two hands. Why, it's uncanny the way
he hits them!''

ORCHARDS
ARE MONEY MAKERS

When apples from sprayed orchards
bring from ninety to one hundred per
cent more on the market than apples
from neglected orchards, no further
argument is needed to prove the desir-
ability of spraying. This was a real
experience enjoyed by Messrs. Vein
reich, Crecelius, and Hamburger of
Oakville, Mo-, as result Of applying
sprays in 1917 under the direction of
the Extension Service of the Univer-
sity of Missouri College of Agricul-
ture.
Whether or not spraying paid may
be judged from general results OBJ
tanned from spraying ten home or
chards that year. The orchards con-
tanned eleven and fifth acres, fifty
trees to the acre. The average re-
turns from these orchards, after de-
Quoting the cost of chemicals and la
Dor, was $263.21 an acre. None had
been sprayed prior to that year.
Spraying will pay on every barren
orchard which is barren because of in
sect and disease attacks. Thousands
of acres of orchards of bearing age
are producing nothing because of
neglect. Spraying and pruning will
put these orchards in bearing condi-
ton.

HOW JIM WENT WEST"

He lay where he fell in No Mans
Land,
Where the grass was sere and
brown;
When the world blew up with mon
strous crash,
And the darkness had settle down;
He sought to rise as his comrades
passed,
But his legs would not obey,
And he grimly smiled as he realized
They were lying ten yards away.
Then he thought of paths those feet
had trod
Since he stood at his motherd's
knee;
He smiled as he thought of his first
stone bruise,
And the sting Of bumble-bee:
He remembered the first pair of red
topped boots
That covered his legs of tan,
And how proud he was when his
mother said
He was now a grown-up man.
His mother! All yes, he remembered
her,
With her smiling, comedy face;
But many the years and miles he'd
trod
Away from her resting place;
But memories came trooping past;
He felt the touch of her hand
AS he lay, a broken, huddled heap,
In the heart of No Mans Land.
He opened his eyes as the sky grew
bright,
And saw her reckoning him,
With arms outstretched at portal
wide,
-Awaiting her little Jim;
So he FASTENED away, like a child at
play,
And he ran to his mothers side;
And the huddled heap that he left
asleep
Was the only thing that died.
