To begin with, we haven't heard of any
successful northern plantations of pecans

one knows for certain until it is tried,
but even if it were done successfully it
does not follow that the farmer would
actually net the attractive prices quoted.
In fact, his experience in marketing milk
would Indicate that in the end the distrib-
utor gets the big end of the profit.
There is no objection TO growing pop
corn, of course. but one of the reasons
why Vermont is not big cOrn-grOwing
state is because of the difficulty of matur-
ing hard corn on the average farm. If
we ever get the llnack of raising hard corn

grain for our cattle and hogs it viii prob

corn. pecans or sweet potatoes.
The Banner Is. however. everlaStinly
right in advocating more native apples on

low as from So to $50 per acre. Apples
are a coming crop. a big possibility. a
most desirable enterprise.
More apples, by all means. but let US
also remember that the seven or eight
cents per apple is as far removed from

is little new. as yet, but potatoes can
be grown prOfitably on many dormant

and energy to do it.

PEACE

Seven nations great and strong
An island in the sea
To whom does this land belong2
The birth of a controversy.
"It belongs to mel" say it's mine!"
Each nation makes its cry.
The cannons roar-the bullets whine
And many thousand die.
Two men alone upon the earth,
One owns derby hat,
Therein is battles birth,
To be finished on the mat.
"What Ho" one cries, "A goodly lid"
"Pass it here I say!"
Did the other pass it? Like Kelly did!
They jumped into the fray.
Now worldly peace may be alright
And wise as you can see.
But as long as there are men to fight
Why, fighting there will be.
For man by nature is selfish knave,
Wanting everything he spies.
Of his desires he is the slave
And so he'll be until he dies.

ADIEU

We meet, we greet, then pass away;
It's "How-dee-do," and then "Good-day;"
A moments toll, need of play,
Then Lo! all is memory.
We find friend, we drift apart
To serve our calling-toil or art,
Yet something goes of the heart,
OF Tweedle-dum with Tweedle-dee.
A tear, smile, a laugh and then,
We leave ne-er to meet again
Where shadows fall, in world of men,
Who judge just what they see.
So dark the night, none see what's ours !;
So brilliant the day, we share its power;
Only betwixt at evening hours
Can Tweedle-dum know Tweedle-dee.
We hasten toward the open door,
And speed to native or unknown shore,
To try once more our best to score,
And win the palm of victory.
The greeting is o'er this is adieu,
And here's my hand reaching to you,
For naught can be save love that's true
'Twixt Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee.
This farewell poem is extended to The
MIRROR and those who helped with my
appreciations of service and mutual fell
