Miss Lola Garrett, of Shelbyville,
Mo-, spent several days the first of
the week as a guest of Miss Lucille
Counts. Miss Garrett has been tour
ing this section of Missouri as play
supervisor in the Chautauqua work.
Mrs. Geo. C. Forster and aunt, Mrs.
0'Neil, Of st. Louis, and Master
James Watson returned Saturday
from three weeks visit in different
points in Canada and also made a
brief stop at Niagara Falls, N. Y.
While they enjoyed their trip as a
whole, they were somewhat disgusted
with the attitude of their Canadian
cousins regarding Uncle Sans war
record, which they say is very bitterly
criticised and unjustly condemned
there. They also brought back the re-
port that the Canadians have already
entered upon conspiracy, in connec-
tion with England and other countries
to boycott America to the greatest
possible extent, which they appear to
believe will result in the depreciation
of our currency, while at the same
time their money will largely appre-
eiate in value. If that is the charae-
ter of the Canadians, then they live
entirely too close.

Farm Bureau Notes
GIVE PULLETs CARRY OVER
Timely Hint from College Poultry
Specialist,

A little time spent in studying the
needs at this time of the year Of the
young growing stock will pay big div
idends next winter in high priced eggs.
Many people do not realize how fast
their first hatch has grown, and their
roosting quarters are being crowded.
Many pullets suffer from a setback
during hot summer nights, and this
setback will show itself in the num-
Der of eggs produced next winter.
Cockerels should be culled out and
either placed in a separate house or
sent to market when they reach the
broiler or frying stage. Too many
people keep their cockerels until they
get little more size but in doing so
they crowd and retard the pullets.
One prominent poultry authority
says he wants his pullets to develop
that quality which he calls "carry ov-
err. This is the ability to start in
laying and then have the strength
and stamina to continue this high pro-
duction. He finds that this "carry ov-
er" is only developed when the pull
lets have plenty of housing room,
plenty of range and good feed.
Pullets that are showing plenty of
maturity in the summer should not
be forced into egg production. This
can be accomplished by eliminating
the mash and giving them greater
proportion of grain With birds of
the lighter breeds, such as Leghorns
and Anconas, it is practically impos-
sible to get them too fat because
when they start laying this fat will
be changed over into food for egg
production.

Local Seed Wheat the Best--Adapta-
ton to Local Conditions is a
Great Advantage.

Nothing is to be gained by farmers
sending outside of the state to secure
their seed wheat. Many fields of i'm
proved seed have been inspected
throughout the state each year by
Representatives of the Missouri Col
1ege of Agriculture. With few ex-
ceptions, according to D. w. Frear,
extension specialist in field crops, the
fields are found to be not only unadap-
ted, less productive and Of proper
quality than local varieties, but the
seed is usually bought at price far
above the cost of varieties grown in
side the state.
The Missouri Pure Seed law does
not cover seed shipped into the state
and the purchaser of such seed has no
redress by law if the seed does not
measure up to quality of the sample.
There is common belief that fre-
quent change of seed is necessary to
prevent wheat from running out"
and deteriorating in yield and quality
and that to overcome this it is neces-
sary to secure seed from a distant To-
cality where climatic conditions are
different. Many experiments have
been conducted with this problem.
The results show that wheat does not
necessarily run out. On the contrary,
under proper conditions of culture,
seed treatment and management, it
becomes better adapted to a locality
and more productive. Often seed does
deteriorate, not because of degenera-
tion in the original stock but because
the crop is allowed to become weak
ened through lack of fertility and
poor preparation and handling of the
soil. This enables weeds, diseases and
insects to make still greater inroads
on the crop which is not vigorous
enough to hold its own. What is need
ed is not a change Of seed but a
change in methods of farming and Of
handling the seed and crop.

Whether you are twenty or sixty. just

food OF golden memories It opens Up.
Particularly there was the year when,
for the first time, one valentine out Of
many held special significance. In the
morning you woke UP, vaguely conscious
that something very delightful was IN
store for you. The crisp February SUI
light swept away the mental cobwebs
and you remembered! St. Valentines
day, and the postnan only half an hour

You walked into the dining room a
telling tune on your lips. and wondered
why everybody else could. be SO engross-

FOR the day, seemed utterly out Of har-
nony with this; moment OF joyous an
ticipation. At last the postman whistled !!
And then
Way back in dark corner OF the So
c;ai Corner Circle, someone is saying:
"Oh. yes, but those were the good old
days. wnen square Of paper lace,
sprinkled with pink roses and chubby
Cupids meant more than a dozen Amer
lean beauties means today. When girls
married for love and q man was rot
afraid to propose on an income Of fifteen
dollars a week!"
Perhaps you have noticed that croak-

particular pessimist out and carry her
off for tour Of Valentine Land She
will dnd that the good saint is still do

Washington's birthday is day dear to

Of one whose motto might have been
Suavtter IN modo; FURTHER in re-Gentle
IN manner but resolute in deed. With
what feelings OF pride we refer to him
as the Father OF his country-our coun-
try-America-the land of the free and
the home OF the brave! All over the vast
universe on the anniversary shall the
name OF Washington be spoken with love
and reverence and grateful hearts shall
sing his praises and read again and
again the story Of his grand achieve
meuts.
Oh you who are longing to be some
thing and do something n the world, re-
fleet upon the character Of Washington.
Emulate mis- nobility Of mind. his fixed
ness OF purpose. 5his heroism and valor.
Such attributes will fit you for RESPONSE
b.ilty and trust. PREPARE yourself for a
place and God viii prepare a place for
you.
No arch nor column IN courtly English
or cortlier Latin sets forth the deeds and
the worth Of the Father OF his country.
He needs them not The unwritten behe-
dictions Of millions cover ali the walls OF
