IF Won are a tired business man at
evening time. eat an early supper, IL
that's what you call it, and take
spin over the country roads. For the
greatest enjoyment drive slowly, so
that Won can take i nthe beauty OF the
trees in their new green robes, anu
note the yerdure along the roadways
and in the pastures. You will also
see miles of brown earth when IN
brief time will be showing the tenuer
green shoots of our next corn crop
fields in which farmers nave peen
working late and early to prepare tne
ground. A lot of corn will go IN inns
week. and some farmers have ALREADY
completed planting, but these are sun
in tie minority.
And don't overlook the growing
wheat. or the fields of clover me
wilderness of a few days ago IS no"
blossoming as the rose. 1t is the sea
son of magical changes, a time Oh the
portrayaI of that age-old and yet ever
new phenomena, Natures resurreG-
| ton; the hour of the seed time win
! its promise of a bountiful harvest
when the summer is ended.
| But the wheat and oats harvest Is

! it is the popular opinion that we are
/ due to cut a generous crop. All larnl-
| ers agree in this, AS IS always the
case some fields show thicker and
heavier stand than others but taken
in their entirety the growing wheat
fields are rich in promise.
Get Out in the Morning.

restful toward the sunset, what shall
/ we saw of the early morning hours
Simply that they are exhillarating and
inspiring. A morning drive lends hope
and courage for the day and the duties
which befall us. The farmer awakens
and arises amid all the splendor OF
1 the sunrise, but the city dweller is i'm
INJURED between lines of walls, and the
larger the city the less the dweller is
able to see and appreciate the glorles
of the early morning. Try an early
morning drive as an experience to stir
the blood and to increase an awaken
ing appetite 1t will be found tonic
/ worth while.
Not wishing to be mobbed when we
next visit Randolph county we hasten
to correct a misprint in our article de-
! voted to Indiana drainage. on Tuesday.
In that mention we stated that Ran.
dolph county has approximately 1856,
$50 acres; that there are 1926 farms
and that the land in farms totals
| 1852 acres. 1t should have read
"276,572 acres" Randolph county far
mers are believers in proper drainage
They report drainage work as havine
been done on 1906 fans, at the time
of the census.
i Prof. Mumford Promoted
Prof. H. w. Mumford has been pro
/ NOTED to the office of dean of the Hi
nois college of agriculture, succeeding
Eugene Davenport who recently re
1 signed. Prof. Mumford has been act
ing as secretary-treasurer of the mar
4 keting committee of fifteen. Inasmuch
as the work of this committee was
completed back in November, and its
I duties have been taken over by the
i live stock producers association, as
a going concern, it is supposed that
the committee of fifteen is no longer
on the payroll, except as to those who
are a part of the new body, which has
sufficient officers on the staff The
dean will find his time amply employ
ed at the state college, of course, his
being not only an honorable but i'm
y portant position.
G. E. Stockdale of the West Vir
ginia experiment station, says: at has
long been claimed that the color OF
fruit could be improved by proper
fertilization, but color development is
: purely a question of light and sun
shine" He goes deeply, however, into
the benefits of fertilization on the
crop and in the saving of trees, fol
