the first time that week. When the
clock said exactly ten minutes of Eve
she weht upstairs, put on her rain
coat, took her green umbrella and
started resolutely out.
Her heart was beating quite fast
when she reached the spot on the hill
where he should have been. But he was
not there. Theodore kept on, however,
stanchly. She had topped the hill when
she saw dark figure In rough work.

she kept on bravely.
He lifted his hat without smiling
and Theodore saw the crisp wave Of
his dark hair and hated herself for the
color that stained her cheeks as she
bowed as unsmilingly.
AT least she had showed him. :.

she had not done 1t on purpose and
now he would think
1t was her face now that was filed
with chagrin.

"Qh," said Theodore, she couldn't
think Of anything else to say and she
knew that the rain had been dribbling
down the back of her neck as she
stood there awkwardly.
She found that he was holding the
green umbrella entirely over her but
he refused to protect himself with a
share of 1t and when he had reached
the door Of the brick house he spoke
quickly, $50 you're win Phelps sis.

him for his kindness, said good night

Never, never. never again would she
take that walk up the muddy hill.
But the next evening when viii
came home, he said, with a momentary
interest, "Met an awfully nice fellow

Theodore ran quickly up the stairs
and having opened her closet door
looked In, and then her cheeks famed
scarlet, for she had forgotten last night
to take back the green umbrella.
Something had happened to her
and she knew with a woman's intui

ending.

FOREST FIRES WASTE WEALTH
Future Of country's Timber supply
Depends on the Elimination Of
Conflaoratlons.

The future of our timber supply de-
ponds In a large measure on the elimi-
nation Of the forest fires which annual
ly burn over large tracts Of cut-over
and waste lands In the South, says
Prof. H. w. Barre, director Of the
South Carolina experiment station. All
of our native pines produce an abund-
ance of Seed and where these fall
and remain undisturbed, young trees
readily spring up. Seeding pines Will
not stand even a light fire. When the
land is burned over every year, 1t is
impossible to get a good stand Of Wig
orous young pines; but If fires are kept
out, young trees come up to thick
stand and grow rapidly.
One tract Of cut-over pine land In
the Coastal Plain section seeded to
slash pine twenty-one years ago was
scaled recently and found to contain
AZ cords of wood, or the equivalent
of 21,0OO board feet of lumber per
acre. Thousands Of acres in South
Carolina will do as well If the hres
are kept out and nature is given
chance to reproduce our forests.

but most OF II Is late, and good
rain fell few days ago in the belt
which Is bringing the forage crops
aud feedstuffs along rapidly. West
Of Dunn the cotton crop Is very good,
but the feed crop continues little
later. On over into the Ira section
where considerable late feed was
noted but with the same uniform
cotton development. II was here
that an examination Of the cotton
plants showed an average OF from
ten to twelve bolls to the plant rap
idly nearing maturity was the case
in many fields. This is also true of
the other sections. Peanuts and SUI
dan grass occurred frequently.
No mention has so far been made
of the corn crop, but with few ex-
ceptions the corn crop is good and is
made. Most OF the farmers have
patches varying from an acre or two
up to good sized fields. IL was also
noted that growing corn was not
damaging any more from hot wealth
or than feedstufi generally.
With three-fourths of our county
in excellent shape we have an oppor-
tunity before us that the farmer, the

all reports indicate that the cotton
crop Is very short and that the crop
will be the shortest in many years.
Fortune has smiled on Scurry
county, for one time at least. as about
three-fourths OF the county has as
good or better crops than in many
years. A Chamber of Commerce
party made "A trip through the south
part of the county Tuesday and were
more than impressed with the crop
situation in that section. In the
Hermleigh country which has just
produced something like 10000
bushels of wheat. the feed crop Is
wonderful and will make a ton and
a half to the acre. Cotton is a per-
feet stand and fruited heavily.
The China Grove section Is like "A
garden: every available acre is un-
der cultivation. Cotton Is the best
in that area of any part seen on the
trip. Like around Hermleigh a big
per centage OF the feed is ready to be
cut. Considerable Sudan grass and
some peanuts were noted These
people are bound to be prosperous
this year. Good looking livestock,
hogs and chickens were noted with

CONCERNING THE HARVEST
STU ALTON HERE

Snyder, Texas, Aug. l6, 1921.
To the Editor
Various reports are being circu
lated 10 the effect that the Scurry
County Chamber of Commerce has
advertised in the Fort Worth papers
that hundreds of men were needed
at once to gather crops in this sec
ton This is to advise that anything
attributed to the Chamber OF Com
merce OF this nature is without foun-
datiou On August the Star-Tele-
gram published the following article
which emanated from this office:
Snyder, Aug A. Farmers
throughout this section are COM
mencing to make arrangements for
all classes Of help to gather crops
Maize and kaffir corn harvesting will
be under full swing about the middle
OF August, and by the time these
crops have been gathered cotton will
be in readiness.
Prices for day labor will be con
siderably lower than paid last year."
We believe this to be in conform
ity with conditions at the time OF
publication A great many men
are passing through the country look
ing for work. These men come
from some of the best sections OF
Texas and Oklahoma where crops
are an absolute failure, arriving here
with practically no money. We can
expect more of them as the season
advances, as work is scarce. We have
found places for about % of them so
far. and, personally given many of
them meals. The majority of Sour
