 Virginia stood on the curb smiling at me warmly. There was glow Of real feeling in her eyes

The crease between his eyes seemed to leap out of itself nowadays whenever he looked at me "You're late," he said. Get busy and pack a weekend bag We're going to the Inlet House with the Cosbys.

before the sap is entirely out of them.
By picking them at this time, the
grower avoids danger of sprouting in
the field with moist, damp weather,
and also the danger of destructive in
sects. After they are picked, the ears
should have their moisture taken out
as quickly as possible. All that is
necessary is free circulation of air.
This can be obtained by drawing back
the husks. tying the ears together in
pairs and hanging over a wire If
ears are hung in too large clusters,
there is danger of mildew. Care should
also be taken to avoid freezing, espe-
cially before the ears are thoroughly
dry
Fall blowing is a matter governed
by local conditions, and the farmers
judgment will be called into play. In
some localities it is better TO pillow
early for the conservation of moisture.
Flowing under an of the humus is
advisable wherever 1t can be done,
to improve the physical condition of
the soil and increase its fertility and
thus produce strong vigorous corn.
