BAND WENT TO Nj
Had An Enjoyable Trip. Play
ed For the Democratic
Rally.

The W. NJ. A. band Of thirty pieces
had another enjoyable trip last Sat-
urday when it went across the river
10 Richmond to play for the big Dem
ocratic rally in that city. The cadets
left Lexington about eight o'clock in
a truck and crossed the Missouri on
the ferry. Richmond was reached
without mishap and a parade and
band concert were given in the norm
ing. Major Day said the boys play
ed unusually well and made a fine
appearance.
In the afternoon the musicians
were given freedom and the boys saw
the city of Richmond and a few Of
the enterprising ladies men made ac-
quaintances with some of the fair
girls of that place, and four became
so captivated that they were late to
supper, which drew down the wrath
of Major Day.
In the evening a half hours concert
was given on the court house lawn
and afterwards the boys went into
the auditorium and played for anoth-
err half hour. They were given
much applause and made quite a hit.
At ten o'clock all we're hustled in
to the truck and the ferry made a
special night trip to get them back
across the river. Wentworth was
reached at eleven and the band men
jotted down another pleasant trip
in their memory books-W. NJ. A

Death of Tomato Genius.

Horticulture and agricultural
authorities over the world have
been saddened by the news of
the death of Adam Duncan, Eel
low Of the Royal Horticulture
Society, who died in October,
1920, at Hillingdon, England, at
the age Of eighty years. Mr..
Duncan is credited with being
largely responsible for the pop
ular introduction and develop
ment Of the tomato as an edible
fruit or vegetable. Mr.. Duncan
developed the tomato expermen-
tai work on the farm very much
more than any other man, for in
its original or earlier state it
was crinkled and woody and used
mainly as a decorative plant
known quite generally as the
'love-apple."

Understanding is a well spring
of life unto him that hath it;

Egg Farming.

The egg-farmer is forging a
head, whether he lives near a
large city or in a more remote
district. This is now an import.
ant branch of agricultural in
dustry and has one great advant-
age in that the product is easily
transported to market without
previous preparation.
Eggs do not appreciably lose
in weight or condition, even if
sent across the continent. If No
males are kept in the flock, eggs
viii remain fresh for weeks even
in the warmest weather; but
they should be marketed within
a week, the sooner the better.
The egg-farmer knows what
he will receive for his produce.
The minimum hot weather price
is about the same every sum-
mer, except that it rises a tri-
fe each year because of increas-
ing demands. The winter price
is warranted to be high, and the
decline sets in about the same
time each year. From season to
season the curve of prices rises
and drops in about the same
way. And whether the times are
good or bad the ~egg-farmer who
knows how to make his hens lay
in the winter is able to count
profits ahead. With present day
knowledge of how to feed and
care for hens to promote egg
production, egg-farming is a
business depending very little
on location or on prices of other
food supplies.

Not even in their apartment house,
