The boy and the girl Adventures
who were in the House of Secrets
after all their adventures were now
at the play which was given for them
by many of the little creatures who
lived there.
The boy and the girl saw that after
the curtain went up for the first act
that all theses little creatures acting
in. the play We're pulling at great
sheet. They all pulled in different di-
rections,. and each snarled and said
he or she was right.
Suddenly the sheet gave way and
shreds of it were hefe and shreds of it
were there, and all was in confusion
and very much mixed up.
The curtain went down on the first
act then.
"The second act" someone shouted.
The curtain went up again. And
everyone now was pulling in the same
direction.
Voices were low, each was offering
helpful opinion, but no one was say
ing that he or she was the only one to be
considered. Everyone thought of each
other, no one was left behind and no
one was trampled upon, as had hap
pened in the first act.
The curtain went down again.
"The third act" someone shouted.
Once more the curtain went up and
there, or the stage, was a small-sized
world. Everyone was going this way
and that, but nv In perfect order.
No one was trying to knock anyone

many experiments, which are of great
value to those of us who are farming,
are being carried on at the station, SO
that all of us can profit by taking one

station you should find out; if you do
know what is being done, you will
want to profit by thle value of these
experiments. said Leo L. SchOepf. coun-

One Of the experiments is to test
out the different varieties of corn
planted at different depths. Of great
interest is four-year rotation, clover,
cultivated crop, rye and oats. The
rye or wheat is planted after the corn
or potatoes are taken off without plOw-
ing the land. In this rotation the rye
takes some Of the richness out of the
SOIL so that the oats are not so liable
to lodge.
All Of the experiments are of inter-
est to you, but reading about them is
not like seeing with ones eyes. You
should plan to visit the farm the lat
