Stocl1man Puzzled
Farley Price has been in
Quandry about what to do with hi
stock because he wanted to apply
in several places. Some time az,
when they were talking about build
Ing stock sales pavilion with do
nations of fair stock, Mr.. Prize
promised to turn his in for that pur
pose, but nothing is being don,
about It,, and all these other goot
projects are being done. He wants
that line Of flowers extended dowr
between the two main entrances, and
ne wants it set to hollyhocks OF all
colors. He has decided to turn II
$25 worth Of his stock to be used II
preparing the hollyhock bed, sove
800 feet long, blowing, grading and
fertilizing it. and save the rest Of his
stock for the sales pavilion II they
SO ahead with the plans. Mr.. Price
will donate 100 hollyhock plants
and days work moving and setting
them.
4 Who Has Them?
There Is somebody in the Wapell0
country raising yellow hollyh0cks
hnt 80
h0llyhock in beautiful colors, and II
those folks will donate some Of
theirs to add to all the other colors
and sizes some fine effects can be OBJ
tanned by planting the dwarfs in Sec
lions SO their size will be pleasing
feature.
The plan is to do the grading and
get the ground in perfect condition
now with the heavy dose of fertilizer
mixed in the soil and let it lie and
ripen until after the fair next month
and then set the plants after they
have quit growing for the year. BY
using the 1929 and 1921 plants con-
siderable bloom can be grown next
summer. II you have any hollyhocks
OF rare col0rs suppose you report
them to The Republican office and
mark some OF the young plants now
SO they can be transplanted in the
new beds at the fair.
Donating Some Trees
M. N. Austin, owner of the green
house In Blackf0ot, has decided to
donate twenty or twenty-five trees
for planting at the end of the race
track where County Clerk Fisher
discovered there was need Of q few
set to decorate the landscape. In all
OF Younie park and the fairgrounds
there is no little grove where people
can 60 and stroll around in the
woodsy places and pick wild fruits
and this is all wrong. The homesick
woman who was raised In a state
where they could go into the river
bottoms and pick wild plums would
find satisfaction in going out with
the Riddles into such a place for an
hour even II 1t were small and not
exactly in the river bottoms, and
some OF the follows have decided to
provide just such a place; a place
where the kiddies can 60 and play |
and watch the choke cherries ripen.
and the wild plums and the service
berries Mrs. Hudson, wife Of the
dentist, is writing to her father in
New York to try to find some plants
II the old fashioned May apple and
zee II we can transplant them and
get them to grow some of those del
icious little apples that hide de-
nurely under two leaves of a plant
foot high. It will probably take

scouts and the Bee Hive girls to
