after reaching the top they were

a seat in the corner, and soon some
dark thing appeared serving ghost
refreshments. They were next adj

BURNING LEAVES

The snow has put temporary
stop to the leaf burning program that
has smudged the town for the pas
two weeks. While lot OF our people
believe that clean lawn is just the ca
per, and 80 il is, yet the leaf mould tina
follows winters decay is probably
the best fertilizer that can be put on
garden or lawn, says the Carson
Appeal.
In practically all sections where at
tention Is paid to enrichment OF soils
the leaves arc accumulated and allowed
to rot and then applied to the ground
In this particular section they are re
ligiously burned, thus depriving the
ground from the return that nature
planned.
No one wants to be his brother S
keeper but there are lots of lawns and
gardens that would respond more a
bundantly if given chance with the
covering from the leaves and twigs
which are so abundantly spread ior
protection. Some day some one will
make il business gathering the leave;
each fall and in the spring will sell
the same back to the householder &c
bring back fertility.
