other than food products, according
to the wholesale price index, has
risen to 1863, compared with 100 in
1918. This, unit of farm products
will purchase 50 per cent less of
other commodities than it did in
1913.
November figures indicate an alb
normal movement of people from
farm towns.
agricultural conditions in the
east are relatively poor. Potato, APP
pie, hay and truck growers are thor
oughly discouraged, the report says.
Some poultry men are doing fairly
well, but most dairymen are having
all they can do to break even.
1.-THE cotton belt shows the best
general recovery of any region as a
whole. Cotton is very poor in many
areas, but those having cotton to sell
feel fairly good at present prices.
General business has been much
stimulated.
Farmers in the corn belt are
somewhat encouraged at the rise in
grain prices. A heavy fall run of
hogs to market, as well as heavy
movements of feeder cattle and sheep
to farms is reported. Winter grains
show good stands"
l will add just another line. The
negro population in the south is go
| ing north to give the labor that must
be supplied either by negroes or for
eigners. When the south gets rid
of it's negro population. we will be
| obliged to get labor somewhere
maybe China or Japan.

Things are not what they really
seem.
Paddy the Beaver.
Just after jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun
went to bed behind the Purple Hills
and left the sky to sweet Mistress
Moon a certain sly fellow came out
of his house in the Old Pasture,
stretched, yawned, stretched again,
and then sat down to decide where
he would go to hunt for dinner. 1t
was Old Man Coyote.
At last he made up his mind and
started off at a trot straight for the
Green Forest. 'It is some time"
thought he, 'since l have had look
at those Beavers. I don't suppose
there is much chance that 1 will be
able to catch one, but one never can
tell. 1t is pretty frosty tonight, and
it won't be long now before those
ponds are frozen over. Then there
will be no chance whatever for me to
get Beaver dinner. Nothing can
be lost by trying"
So Old Man Coyote silently trotted
through the Green Forest toward
the ponds of Paddy the Beaver. He
knew all about that new pond and
new dam, and he knew all about how
Paddy and Mrs. Paddy had to get
their food logs over the new dam
at a certain point. That would be
the best place to try to catch one
of them.
When Old Man Coyote came in
sight OF the new pond he stood still
for some time, looking, listening and
using that wonderful nose of his.
Then silently and carefully he stole
down to the dam and began to creep
along on the lower side of it. He had
crept about half way to the point
where he knew Paddy and Mrs
Paddy were in the habit of dragging
their food logs across when he heard
a faint splash on the other side
Instantly he stopped and pricked
up his ears.
Some one is swimming close to
this dam on the other side" thought
he, "Of course it is one of those
Beavers" His yellow eyes glowed
with hungry eagerness. His mouth
Watered. He crouched flat and kept
perfectly still.
Again he heard a splash, and then
he heard claws scratching on sticks
few feet beyond where he lay. A
stick snapped. There was a sound
as of heavy body scrambling up the
other side of the dam. A fierce Joy
filled Old Man Coyote. One of those
Beavers was climbing up on the
dam! He hadn't a doubt of it.
Swiftly but silently, all the time
hugglng the ground, he sneaked

Correcting Acidity in the Soil
With Lime.

r. D. r., Ludowici Ca,
writes: What should I use on
land to overcome sourness? / I
want to use the land about the
last of December. How long
before I plant should l apply
the remedy? If I use limestone
should it be pulverized, and
where can it be secured?
Sourness in land may /be corrected
satisfactorily by the use of ground
limestone rock, burnt limestone, or
oyster shells. Burnt lime or
builders lime and oyster shells have
about twice the power to sweeten
soils as ordinary rock. These two
forms of carriers of lime do their
work more quickly than the raw.
finely ground rork. On that account,
you should use twice as much Of
the rock as you do the other forms.
Where land is very, very sour, an
application of 2 up to tons OF
crushed raw rock may be made. 1t
IS better to put part of the lime
stone on top of the soil, say two
tons, and pillow it under. Then put
on say three tons more and harrow
and disk into the soil BY this ar
rangement, you distribute the lime
stone more uniformly through the
soil, and So aid in the correction of
the acidity more rapidly.
The limestone may be put on two
weeks before the crop is to be
planted. Of course a month or two
may be better where it is prac-
ticable to accomplish this end. The
crushed, raw rock of course is a
non biting or non-burning material,
and hence it will not injure the
terminating quality of seeds or
plants which may be growing on the
land. The other forms of lime
might injure the seeds if they are
sown too soon after the applications
were made. Fertilizer of course
should not be mixed with limestone
in any of its forms. 1t may be
applied from two weeks to thirty
days after this material has been
used however without objection.
In your location, you can probably
secure oyster shells very eheaply
from Savannah. You can secure
ground limestone from Live Oak,

King Whitecap took the note and
read it. Then he turned to Jack
and said, 'I'll have to bid you good
by, son. The ruler of the island de-
mands that you return to him at
once. Jump on the back of this fish
and it will take you back to the place
where you left your little raft"
Jack then noticed that the fish
had saddle strapped to him. He
hoped on, waved goodby to King
Whitecap and was soon speeding
through the water, Flip followed

along until he was opposite the place
some one was climbing out. Then he
gathered his feet under him for a
sudden spring, and fixed his eyes on
the top of that dam. He held his
breath and waited.
Against the sky he saw a dark
head come slowly up over the top
of the dam. 1t was followed by a
big body. Just at that point there
was shadow across the dam, and
he could see only the outline of the
one on top of the dam. So sure was
he that it was one Of the Beavers
that he failed to look at it closely.
Old Man Coyote sprang straight and
true. At that distance he couldn't
miss. He landed squarely on the one
ne believed to be. either Paddy or
Mrs. Paddy. 1t was right then that
Old Man Coyote was most unpleas-
antly surprised.

She need make no other appeal.
She took his hand, and they started
mushing over the drifts.
They won at last.
And Harold stared at them like a
lifeless thing as Bill vreeled through
the cabin doorway. Virginia led him
to her own cot, then drew the
blankets over him. And she was
not so exhausted but that she could
continue the fight for his recovery.

snow, she began TO rub Bills right

But slowly the conviction grew
upon him that he was crawling in a
small circle-the very circle he had
just made. Some way he had missed
the snowshoe trail.
Slowly he sank down in the snow.
When the southeast wind struck
the home cabin, Virginia's first
thought was for Bill.
Harold's first thought was also of
Bill. He knew what the wind could
do to a snow crust. His eyes cleaned
with high anticipations, curiously
intertwined with the remembrance
of the dark cavern he had entered

She Weakened before dawn; and the
icy, winter stars were peering
through the cabin window.
Shivering, she slipped quickly into
her clothes. Then she lighted a
candle and put on her snowshoes.
She mushed across the little space of
