SOUTHEAST MISSOURI AS
ISOLATION OF ST. LOUIS

On July ~, 1919, number of pa
triotic Southeast Missourians resid-
ing in st. Louis held "Get-together
and Goodfellowship Picnic" at Forest
Park and the success of that gather
ing resulted in the formation of q
permanent organization for the pur-
pose of spreading the influence of this
magnificent section of our State and
keeping alive the neighborly conrad
erie so essential to modern life.
The Committee in charge of the an
nual picnic has arranged for a sim
liar picnic to be held at Forest Park
this year on Saturday, July 31st, from
3 p. m. to 8 p, M, at Picnic Grounds
Nos. and 8, reached by Market street
cars.
1t is the intention of the organiza-
ton to make this occasion much more
elaborate than the one last year-al-
though that one was a splendid sue
cess-and ample preparations have
been made to this end.
A carload of watermelons, the SUI
perior variety only grown in South
east Missouri, will be distributed to all
who participate, Bring your basket
of food and Join in the appreciation of
the Pride of Americas most luscious
watermelon. Ice cream and soda can
be obtained on grounds.
A suitable program of entertain
ment has been arranged. It will be a
real oid-fashioned Southeast Missouri
Picnic with all of the attractive fea-
tufesS of music, song and eloquence.
Many candidates for public office
from Southeast Missouri will appear
in their private characters. This be-
ing non-sectarian and non-political
organization, the subjects of religion
and politics will be adjourned for this
day and all will meet on common
ground as neighbors and "Home
Folks" @
We count on your presence with
your family. Please notify all South

A TRUE NoBLEMAN

Such was the general feeling and
expression when 1t became, known
Monday that r. B. Gillespie had
passed away in tina early morning,
from the residelGs lofl his Daughter,
Mrs. Gale, in tue stern part Of
Pennington, will HON hesshad for
some time made his home. Death
came after several weeks sickness,
deceased being 10 yearASS months and
ID days old. There age few men in
this community who Are as well
known as was Mr.. Gillespie, and ey-
cry acquaintance was staunch
friend. To kpowVhiiii was to respect
and honor him. He was real man.
Mr.. Gillespie was sborn in Withc
county, Va, and came to Missouri
with his parents when 8 years of age,
locating at Jackson, Cape Girardeau
county, a few years later moving to
Chestnut Ridge, near Pennington,
and for more than half century he
has resided in. Pennington or the i'm
mediate vicinity. In 1869 he was
united in marriage to Miss Hannah
Matkin, who crossed the dark river
in 1915. To this union were born five
children, three sons and two daugh-
tiers, four of whom are still living,
namely: Fred, of Pennington; Ken
nett, of st. Louis; Mrs. Maggie Gale,
Of Harrington, and Mrs. Myrtle Ash
,er, of Charlottesville.
Deceased was for forty years a
consistent and faithful member of the
Baptist church He also had long
and honorable connection with the
Masonic and odd Fellow fraternities.
He was generally known as devoted
husband, a tender, compassionate and
sacrifcial father, and citizen, with
out teproach. For seventeen years
Mr.. Gillespie was Farm Superintend-
ent at State Hospital No. 4, and dur
ing all these years he made a record
for highest possible efficiency. Ow-
ing to impaired health he resigned
that position some two years ago.

in his gasoline tank before he started,
Consequently, when we were about
eight miles from home and several
miles from a supply tank our trusty
Ford absolutely rebelled and went on
strike just as we arrived in Hap
py Hollow. But we were anything
but happy crowd until our driver
returned from a faraway farm house
where he had gone begging for "gas"
which he WAS fortunate enough to OBJ

We soon moved off over fine dirt
roads that do not cause jolts like our
unrepaired rock roads do.
Eighty-acre cornfields' with their
dark green foliage contrasting with
the gold of the large wheat fields, is
a common sight here but it is enough
to make the Farmingtonian pinch her.

The farm help problem is a serious
one here; can scarcely obtain help to
pillow these large fields of corn.
We noticed as we sped by, the eff

FARM BUREAU NOTES
Warehouse Association Organize


The st. Francois County Farm Blu
reau Purchasing and Sales Associa-
ton has organized and will be incor-
porated in a few days. The associa-
ton will be incorporated for $4,000,
consisting of 240 shares of $25 each.
More than so per cent of the capital
stock has been subscribed.
The officers and directors of the
association are: President, Maurice
Highley; vice-president, P. G. Rickus;
secretary-treasurer, Lee Roy John
son; Walter Weimer, c. C. Schuttler,
w. E.. David, and VIM. London. A
manager will be chosen in the near
future.
Judging from the history of other
farmers cooperative enterprises in
the recent years, we think that as soon
as some of the results of the enter
prise become known, that the rest Of
the capital stock will be sold soon.
Practice Crop Rotation
Crop rotation does away with con-
tinuous cultivation of the soils. Gull
tivation is a good thing occasionally,
but continuous growing of titled crops
burns out the soil. The cultivation of
corn causes more loss of nitrogen than
|. theAero takes, but wheat or oats, not
billed, helps to conserve the humus
supply, while a crop that forms sod
is much more efficient.
BY rotation, legumes, which in
crease fertility of the soil by supply
ling food from the air, can be grown.
A crop Of legumes should be plowed
under now and then.
Crop rotation sanitates the soil. 1t
seems that each crop excretes sub
stance that is poisonous to its own
growth. Continuous growing of one
crop causes an accumulation of this
poisonous or "toxic" substance, as it
is called. The toxic substance left by
one crop does not affect the next one.
A change of crops seems to clean the
soil out. The legume crops in partic-
ular seem to be good in putting the
soil in a more healthful condition.
+ Crop rotation gives chance to
grow the crops with deep roofing
systems. The legnmes have a fine
effect upon the sod because the roots
go deep and bring up new supplies of
plant food that would otherwise be
out of reach. This plant food is
largely stored in the shallow roots
and in the stem. Therefore, when the
plant dies, the new supply of mineral
plant food is left in the top soil. Then,
too, when the deep-going roots decay,
they leave passages for air and water
in the soil.
Crop rotation is one Of our best
weapons for use in warfare on weeds
and bugs. The corn root worm likes
a straight corn root diet. Other bugs
like nothing but grass roots.
The growing of legumes will check
these and other pests. Also, there are
certain weeds that cannot stand cHl-
Ptivatien. One well-cnltivated crop
should be grown to clean the fields Of
weeds. t!tl51a ~

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED
BY SOUTHEAST MISSOURI
PRESS ASSOCIATION

At, the recent annual meeting of the
Southeast Missouri Press Association,
which, was held at Charlottesville, ar
rangements were made by which the
Recording Secretary, o. ]. Ferguson,
!! of the Fredericktown Democratic News,
was to print the resolutions adopted
at that meeting and send them TO the
various members In order that dsuch
resolutions could be printed In the va
rious1i papers lastffweek. The Times
has, u however, failed ITO receive such
resolutions in the manner that was
provided, and number of other MEM
bers of the Press Association have al
so failed to get such a copy. There
fore The Times is led to the conclu-
sion that Bro. Ferguson failed to send
out such resolutions, according to
agreement, owing perhaps to rush
of work through which he was unable
to work his way. But they have final
ly arrived, and are considered of suf-
ficient Importance to give them space
in this issue of The Times, though
week later than they should have been
given to our readers:
Subscription Prices
Resolved: That it is the sense of
this Association, that as every item
entering into the making of news
paper has increased in cost, and all
such materials are constantly advanc-
ing, publishers are mot only justified
in raising subscription prices but
where less than So per year is charg-
ed, loss is inevitable. And we -ug-
gest that $3.50 for subscription outside
the first and second zones be charged.
Free Space Graft
Resolved: That as body of pub
fishers we are against furnishing free
advertising to the State Fair and
other such institutions, while in other
states about us liberal appropriations
are made for legitimate advertising
expenses Of their state fairs. We be-
lieve such condition should obtain III
Missouri, ...
Legal Advertising
We consider the present rate for
legal advertising in Missouri archaic,
and should be increased to correspond
with the increase in price of other
things, and that an increase in this
item should be made by our legisla-
ture to correspond with rates in adj
joining states, and until such is done
no publisher should charge less than
the legal rate. To do so means a
clear loss to the paper making such
practices.
