SPREADER FOR WET MARI

After negotiating with the Holden
Manufacturing Company, Peoria, Ill.
the use of one of their lime spread
ers was secured to be used for a few
demonstrations in spreading wet
mari in Jefferson County.
A test was made on Mr.. Rolf. Ger
hardt's farm few days ago. Later
trial was made on Mr.. G. w. Huff
mans farm near Kearneysville
These tests showd conclusively that
this machine can be used successfully
to spread the wet mari found in JEFF
ferson County.
The machine was intended origin
ally to use for spreading wet lime
stone, commonly used in the middle
West. Because of weather condi-
tions the limestone often becomes
wet before spread.
The Holden spreader fastens to the
back of farm wagon. 1t is run by
a chain over a sprocket fastened to
the hind wagon wheel. The mari is
pushed back into the feed into the
wagon. 1t is fed into two whirline
fans which throw the mari about one
rod wide. About three tons wet mari
is run on to the acre. Any amount
of dry mari or lime can be spread.
The Farm Bureau has secured the
agency for Jefferson County at pres.
ent. 1t was demonstrated
at the Farm Bureau Picnic June 5
Mr. Huffman bought the machine sent
by the company for demonstration
Orders for more machines will be
taken on and after June 5.

VELVET
The Friendly Tobacco Home Again

he Friendly Tobacco Home Again.
Velvet Tobacco, in it's Jolly red tin,
is again feature of cigar stores, big
and little. There is again Velvet in
the pipes, and contentment in the
hearts of an army of American pipe
smokers. And thereby hangs a tale.
where's Velvet Tobacco gone?'
those same folks inquired, when dis
appointed in their quest for that age
mellowed, friendly tobacco, which
had made them and their pipes side
partners for years.
Where was Velvet? Ask the Red
Cross man or the "Y" man. Ask the
Salvation Army lassie. Ask the
doughboy or the Jackie. Ask the
hurried and harassed Quartermaster
Corps that were responsible for
more beef, more bullets and more
tobacco" for the boys under the tin
derbies. Yes, that's why Velvet was
not on some of the dealers shelves.
1t was on the ships, in the cantone-
ments, in the billets and the trenches.
But Velvet is now wearing the red
chevron of an honorable discharge.
The doughboy who smoked the
"tinned Kentucky sunshine" in
France can now enjoy it's friendly
company on his own front porch.
Those of US who willingly gave up
Injuries that the boys over there
might have them, can stuff our old
pipes once more with Velvet and
"smile, smile, smile"
And good Velvet Joe! Well, he's
back in the columns of this paper and
glad to see you all again.
