Developing a New Type of Agri-
culture

Developing a New Type of Agri
culture
A change in our farm practice is
essential. One can no longer pur-
sue the old methods. The n, gro
ana the mule, as such, are destined
10 become obsolete. Is it possible
that We can get along without these
institutions or that we can so utilize
tnelr efforts as to adapt their needs
10 modern conditions? l answer
yes" If we are to develop this
new type Of agriculture, how are we
10 proceed? Who is to take the lead
IN the sense of the Moses of historic
tInes? Can we lift ourselves up by
our boot straps, or must we ask for
ald and help from other sources? I
take it that the transformation of
our farm practices is a difficult and
Ian~dmental undertaking. 1t will
Sot be accomplished in a day. 1t
TIll not be achieved without the
RICH leadership. That it can be

renovated these orchards and put
them in good condition. and kept
them up so that they bore fine
crop of peaches.
AS a result of these demonstra-
tons there were about 1000 young
trees planted in 1919. We planned
these orchards and taught the farm
err how to plant and care for the
trees. In 1920 we planted about
5000 trees in 1921 about 5000 trees
and if nothing prevents we will plant
at least 10000 trees this year. The
County agent has direct supervision
over all the orchards in the county

TODAY'S EVENING STORY
THE TRY-OUT
COPYRIGHT BY w. WERNER

Ella Dyer sat gazing into the
cold, gray November morning. A
mist like the spray from a cata-
ract, was filling the air. Alto
gether the outlook was inexpres-
sibly dreary. Yet the interior of the
small, shabby house was no less So.
Therefore Ella looked out of the win
dow rather than at her surround
ings.
Ella Dyer was sixty-seven, a tiny,
gray old woman, with a patient ex-
preston of countenance. Life had
never been very lively for her, but
now such current as it possessed
had subsidized and left her alone and
lonely, for the town had suddenly
receded from Pleasant street and
FASTENED toward the depot. Pleas
ant street was very pleasant still,
but more or less abandoned, and
the people who lived there now
were renters" of a younger gen.
Grafton, who showed little intention
of neighboring with a little, old
woman who had no diversion to
offer them.
For a year now, Ella had not at.
tempted to do any sewing except
for herself. Her hands were be.
coming too stiff. Besides, she had
had her day as dressmaker. Miss
Green, of Depot street, got al the
custom now. There was nothing left
for Ella to do. Never had she been
so aware of it as on this bleak
morning, and, as she gazed out at
the fall mist, tears which resembled
it gathered in her gentle eyes.
Il might as we'll go to bed and
stay there till they come for me
with the hearse," she thought to
herself.
The room was growing chill. She
drew her knit shawl closer about
her shoulders and glanced toward
the stove. There was not a CLINT of
light to be seen through the murky
isinglass. She had allowed the fire
to go out. Nov I'll have to 60 to
bed to keep warm or else build the
fire up. I guess I'll go to bed" she
thought. II didn't sleep well last
night and a coy little nap will do
me good"
Her bedroom was just off the sit
ting room. She went in and drew
the warm blankets over her. But
instead of sleeping she began to
think. i've got friends. I know
have" she said to herself. IF I
We're sick they'd rush to see me.
But as long as they know I am
well and able to look after myself
they will attend to their own affairs
and leave me lonely. And 1 am very
lonely" Her chin quivered. II
wonder" Suddenly her lips tight.
ened and into her eyes came a
twinkle that they had not shown In
years.
Ella lay In bed all the rest of the
that morning, only rising lore
enough to make herself a cup OF
tea and a piece Of toast at noon.
AT O'Clock, Mrs. Tacey, har next
| door neighbor, hurried in. Mrs
Dwyer! Are you sick? 1 missed yol
sitting by the window. I've grown
so used to seeing YOU there that il
gave me an awful scare. What car
l do for your" she asked.
You can telephone Mrs. Slater
to come and see me if you will
please Mrs. Tacey," replied Ella
Mrs. Slater was her Oldest friends
whom she had not seen in six
months.
Mrs. Tacey went home to tele.

Half an hour later Mrs. Slater
came putting in. II got here just al
quick as I could" she painted. Mrs
Slater was a large, rosy old woman

TEMPORARY DWELLINGS

Since even the moon and stars decay,
How else should end this house of clay
In which I've dWelt for many a day.
But before the structure falls
And the voices stilled within Its halls,
I must paint some pictures on the walls
And light the candles that will burn
To make the light for which yearn
And see the lessons yet to learn.
For our thoughts can steal like elves,
And open books that rest on shelves,
Deep down within our higher selves.
Our houses cannot long exist
The waves of time they can't resist,
But soon they will fade like morning mist.
But yet we feel, when Death shall call,
And the call is as sure as spring and fall
We are changing pastures, that is all.

CHECk the costs. Compare
~ the prices Of lumber and
paint. They will show you how
extravagant it is to allow build
ings to depreciate for lack Of
paint.
And buildings do depreciate
rapidly unless they are painted
when they need to be. Paint
saves the lumber. 1t protects
your investment.
To enjoy the biggest saving in
painting, use the best paint. 1t
spreads more easily--savcs labor cost.
1t covers more surface per gallon than
''cheap" paint.
1t serves five or more years longer
than cheap" paint.
The best paint is most economical
because it is scientific in formula and
preparation. We have been making
best paints for IS years.
