JH VIRGINIA TEpTlRE VeErtWnrU

The blood rushed to winifred's face
at the superintendents words. She
was too much embarrassed to meet
her guardians eyes.
For an instant there was an awk-
ward silence, broken by Muir.
I'VE may as well be going" he said
to Winifred. Then, to the superin

is, of course" looking at his ward
IF Miss Scott decides she wants this
apartment
The girl tried to speak as natural
ly as her companion did.
- Il have not seen one that l liked
better than this. Anyway, we can talk
the matter over and let the agent
know tomorrow, can't we?
- Certainly" was the prompt reply
Surely Donald had understood what
the superintendent had said Wini-
fred reflected. He probably wondered
at her taking a young man to the
apartment without mentioning to him
the fact that she had done this. If
so, Donald gave no sign. but talked as
pleasantly as if he had heard nothing
which he could condemn. Anyway.
the girl told herself .definatnly, she
had right to do as she pleased. She
was no baby to be ruled and guided.
In spite of her secret declaration
of independence, she was not entire
ly at east during the long walk that
she and her companion took. When
at last they turned toward home,
Donald made a suggestion.

She looked up at him in surprise
She had never seen his face kinder
than at this moment His manner dis
armed her suspicious of his disap-
proval of anything she had done.
I'D be awfully glad to have you,
she said honestly.
Then, that's settled he eX-
claimed as if relieved at her reply

to say, for he did not know that Rag
gedy Ann had made any wishes for
nice things to be on the magacian's
table. So the Snoopwiggy just smiled
and swallowed real hard and fol-
lowed the magician into the dining
room.
There he saw the table piled high
with goodies
The magician was Just pulling UP
two chairs when Raggedy Ann and
Grnny Bear and the Wiggysnoop
and Rage edy Andy all knocked real
hard on the door. "Thump. Thump!
Thump. Thumpr' like that.
'Ha" the magician cried as ne ran
to the door. Il hope that is company,
because you cooked such good things
and so many of them l will have
enough for six or seven people,"
And when he saw it was RaEgedy
Ann and her friends, he cried. Come
right in and have dinner with the
Snoopwiggy and me-" And you see.
that was just what Raggedy Ann had
wished for and it all came true, Just
like fairy story. And, of course, all
good things do really come true.

II am glad fished for an invita-
ton"
He repeated this declaration after
dinner that evening. The meal had
passed pleasantly. Donald had been
at his genial best. had told amusing
stories and had put Winifred so en-
tirely at her ease that she had al
most forgotten her depre ssion and
loneliness of "a hours ago.
"It is nice having you here" she
remarked as she and her guest seat
ed themselves in the library and he
asked her permission to light cigar.

Maine Sweet Corn Outlook Reported
Good

In spite of the unusually dry sum-
mer the total production of hay IN
New England this year will be about
up to the standard with excellent
quality, the statisticians OF the New
England crop reporting service say III
report made public. Late re-
ports Indicate better yields from cui-
tivated fields than seemed posslDle
earlier in the season and the 1gh1
rainfall will enable farmers to mar
vest a full acreage of wild or mea-
dow hay. Conditions during the last
two weeks have been reasonably faY-
orable to the growth of nearly all
crops. Recent rains have done much
to push crops forward but rain is
again needed in many places and corn
needs warmer nights. The season so
far for the most part has been unus-
ually free from plant diseases. In
sect pests except for the corn borer
have not been especially troublesome.
The Maine sweet corn acreage has
increased considerably over last year
and the crop outlook Is good If frost
stays off long enough. Potatoes are
reported as very promising in nearly
all sections except Connecticut, where
drought greatly reduced the crop. Set
onions from the Connecticut valley
are moving to market and yields are
good but the seed crop is poor to
fair Tobacco shows one of the best
crops in several years.
Early apples are of small size due
to lack of rain but reports indicate
that the fall and winter apples are
likely to be of good size and quality
The total New England crop OF
commercial apples will somewhat ex-
coed last years crop. Peaches are
a good crop and of high quality. The
for cranberries are good.

Three Big Dangers

An out of town subscriber called
on the Agricultural editor the other
day and mentioned three big dangers
to the farmers, the corn borer, the
pine blister Is spread by gooseberries
vanced the idea that the corn .borer
is held in rubbish piles and weeds on
roadsides and waste land and that
pine blisher Is spread by gooseberres
black currants, etc. He suggests
that cows. sheep and horses are all
natural enemies to these pests, al
though they have bsen banished from
Maine roads and abandoned farms
which are getting more dangerous
from fire, also other dangers. His
suggestion also carries with it the
idea that livestock be given more lee
way along the roadsides and on
abandoned farms as the good farmer
can take care of his lands and the
poor farmer is not desirable anyway.

Worlds Dairy Conference

There are several hundred dairy
farmers in this community and e. e.
Harris, manager of the Skowhegan
Jersey Creamery, informs us that they
are much interested in the plans for
the Worlds Dairy Congress to be held
in this country in October.
This Ii to be a gathering of the
worlds leaders of the dairy industry,
students of the dairy sciences and
of human nutrition. It was author
lied by Congress and Warren G.
Harding, President of the United
States, invited the nations of the
world to send delegates. The Con-
gress will hold its opening sessions
at Washington, d. C., October and
3, 1923, continue them at Philadel-
phia. Pa, October 4, and concluded
with FIVE days sessions at Syracuse,
n Y, from October ) to 20 in con-
nection with the seventeenth annual
National Dairy Exposition.
The National Dairy Union, the pro-
tective organization of the dairy in
dustry which was formed to counter
act the unfair competition of oleomar-
garine with dairy products. is one of
the twenty-three national dairy asso-
Citations sponsoring this internation-
al meeting.
The Congress, conducted in three
cities, and the National Dairy Expo
sition, held at the same time at SYRIA
cuse, make a joint event which no
dairyman can afford to miss. Rail-
roads in the East and Central West
have agreed to give special rates to
Washington, Philadelphia, and SYRIA
cuse, and return from Syracuse, of
twenty per cent below the regular
rates.
Delegates have already been desig-
mated by thirty-seven foreign nations,
by many states and many dairy as
sociations. The foreign visitors will
bring a wealth of information about
general conditions in their countries
and of the progress and development
of dairying.
Mr.. Harris hopes that one or more
members of this community will at
tend the Congress and states that lit
erature about the Congress, the hotel
accommodations and excursions to
places of interest, as we'll as an en-
rollment blank, will be sent to any
one writing the National Dairy Union
or the Worlds Dairy Congress Asso-
citation at Washington, D. c. Mr..
Harris hopes to attend.

Noted HoIsteln Breeder In Town

L. E. Mcintyre of East Waterford
was in Skowhegan on August IS,
coming here to participate in the Po-
mona program at Lakewood. Mr..
Mcintyre is perhaps the most proml-
nent Holstein breeder in Maine. He
has only recently been to the Field
Farm in Massachusetts and completed
negotiations for the purchase of n
seven months old Holstein bull. This
animal out of a world record daugh-
ter of Colantha Johanna lad.
The Mcintyre farm In East Water
ford has at present sixty head of
purebred Holstein. From this farm
in 1911, couple of cows of an aver
age weight of 1900 pounds were
shipped to Eaton Mountain Farm.
One or both of these were purchased
by Frank Hight of Cornville and no
doubt Mr.. Hight still has the progeny
of these Mcintyre stock in his herd.

exhibit of fruit, vegetables, dairy
products, etc. at the Somerset Cen

their best when suitably displayed
have reserved the entire center sec
tion of the northerly half of the new

good specimens of farm and garden
products can therefore be sure that
they will find ample space to show
and in a locality where they will be
seen by all who attend.
