WHERE THE PILGRIMS FIRST
LANDED

"With men from many foreign strand,

America-the Promised Landw
Every good American knows-or should
know-that it is to the Pilgrim Fathers we
are indebted for Thanksgiving day, one of
the most enjoyable holidays of the year.
So at this time we pause occasionally in
the mad rush of the twentieth century to
give thought to them. This year the ter
centenary of their landing was celebrated
with considerable pomp and ceremony in
the United States, England and Holland.
Every American schoolboy of course
knows that the Pilgrim Fathers officially
landed on Plymouth Rock, and that the
famous rock is at Plymouth, Mass. But
there are comparatively few Americans
who know that the first landing of the
Pilgrims was at Provincetown, Mass, and
are familiar with their doings during the
month. The MayAower lay in the quiet
harbor inside Cape Cod.
There was no Provincetown there, of

as the first written constitution in the
world, "a were the adults comprising the
nucleus of the colony and seven were SER
wants or hired workmen. The seven re-
naming adult males were either too i'll to
sign (they all soon died) or else the list
is imperfect. In this compact lies the
germ of the Declaration of independence.
1t is as follows:
"In the name of God. Amen. We,
whose names are underwritten, the loyal
subjects of our dread sovereign, Lord
King James, by the grace of God, of
Great Britain, France and Ireland, King
Defender of the faith, ETC., having under
taken for the glory of God and the ad-
vancement of the Christian faith and the
honor of our king and country, voyage
to plant the first colony in the northern
part of Virginia, do by these presents
solemnly and mutually in the presence of
God and one another, covenant and COM
bine ourselves together into civic body
polite for our better ordering and preser-
walton, and futherance of the ends afore-
said, and by virtue hereof do enact con-
stitute and frame such just and equal

course, in 1920, but Cape Cod was there
and its name was Cape Cod. In 1902
Bartholomew Gosnold, the explorer, had
visited the region and had found Goldfish
so plentiful that he had just naturally
called the long narrow neck of land Cape
Cod. Ever since there has been any
Provincetown, however, its people have
been sensitive on the subject of its claims
to first honors. That's why Provincetown
now has monument on High Pole hill.
Many years were required to raise the
money for its erection.
The landing of the Pilgrims at Ply
mouth was a slow job. The congregation
of John Robinson at Leyden procured from
the London company for Virginia patent
of land and made financial arrangements
for the sailing of part of their number.
The Speedwell of so tons, was purchased
in Holland, and in July 1920 it sailed to
Southampton, England. There the May
flower of 1870 tons was awaiting it. The
two ships with about 120 passengers put
to sea in August. The Speedwell was soon
reported leaking and both ships put in at
Dartmouth. AT sea again, the Speedwell
was a second time reported leaking and

return was made to Plymouth. 1t was not
discovered until later that the alarm over
the Speedwell was due to its masters
trickery. The Speedwell was abandoned
at Plymouth and the size of the party re-
duced. The MayAower left Plymouth
alone early in September.
In nine weeks it sighted the shore of
Cape Cod. Being far out of their course
the Pilgrims headed south. But few
hours later the course was again changed
for the nearest shore. Saturday, Novem-
ber II (2l N. S.), 1920, the Mayaower
rounded Cape Cod and found harbor.
This radical change of destination in
troduced complication. Some of the
hired laborers threatened to break loose
from their engagements on landing, be-
cause of the loss of the authority delegated
in the patent from the Virginia company.
The necessity of some form of civil govern
ment to unite the well-affected and to re-
strain the insurgent was imperative. So
the famous Mayhower or Provincetown
compact was drawn up and signed before
the first voyager landed. OF the Al signers

AUTUMN is CLEARING
TIME FOR FARM LAND
Convert All Waste Places Into
Revenue Producers.
Goats, Sheep or Cattle Are Favored in
Order Named for Keeping Down
sprout Growth-Methods
for Removing Stunps.

The fair-weather days Of the autumn
afford the farmer an opportunity to
undertake the clearing of land for
which he has no time in the busy
summer months. and which can not be
done while the land Is wet in the
spring. On thousands of farms there
are cut-Over tracts which should be
converted into revenue producers as
soon as possible. II the owner de-
cides that the land in question is bet
ter suited TO crop production than to
forest growth, a careful study Of the
most economical method of removing
stumps and small growth should be
made. Most cut-over land passes
through three stages before reaching
its greatest agricultural value. The
waste and small growth Is disposed of
first, then II Is allowed to remain in
stumps for few seasons, until the
smaller stumps are dead and decayed,
during which time it is used for pas
ture or may be cultivated. Finally,
all the stumps are removed.
Generally 1t is best to cut brush as
close as possible to the ground and
avoid leaving sharp points that might
lnjure stock. However. If the wood is
of no value and the ground Is not to
be cultivated before the stumps are
removed. 1t may be best to cut the
trees rather high above the ground. II
the stumps are left three feet high
there will be less sprouting than IL cut
low down. and such stumps are more
easily pulled.
The most successful method Of keep
ing down sprout growth is by heavy
pasturlng by goats, sheep, or cattle. In
the order named. Any sprouts not
killed by pasturing should be cut or
knocked off with the head Of an ak.
