| A purebred Holstein calf had the
distinction of being the guest of honor
at a.picnic and basket dinner of the
Chestnut Grove community in Daviess
county, KY. For many years the com.
munity had paid slight attention to
improved livestock, but on becoming
interested it is now one of the most
active in the State for the betterment
OF its farm animals. The calf is the
offspring of purebred sire and a
purebred dam, and is believed to be
the first purebred animal born in the
community.
In reporting the instance to the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, Wayland Rhoa,ls. field agen,
in animal husbandry for Kentucky
stated that the picnic will be FOLLOWED
shortly by scrub-sire trial. At ...ls
trial the jury of farmers will pass
judgment on suitable "prisone!''

have heard popping sounds in the
woods lately.
"Could those have come from your
Witch-Hazel Shrub children?" he
asked.
Eyes, they are playing the popping
game. They pop their seeds and make
q splendid noise.
''The yellow flowers and the golden
red leaves do not appear until quite
late in the autumn.
'"They like the late part of the au
tumn season. And as they like 1t bes,
/ say to them to blossom and look
their autumn prettiest whenever they
WISH"
''That is very fair of you, Mother
Nature" said Billie Brownie. smiling
at Mother Nature.
II couldn't be anything else but
fair to my children" Mother Nature
said. "They are such pride to me.
II have so enormous a family, and
yet they all are pride to me.
'They bloom so prettily and they
look so we'll and they not only give me
so much pleasure, but they give pleas
ire to the whole world.
"They know how to take pretty
good care Of themselves, too.
"They help each ether and they
help themselves. They know how to
dress themselves in the spring, and
In the spring they are very young.
"That is very clever of them; don't
you think so, Billie BrownieY'
Indeed / do think So" said Billie
Brownie. And it was just what he
did think, but he wondered to himself
what would happen if he said he
didn't think so! Mother Nature
looked as though no one in the world
could say word to her against her
children.
But that was right, and she certain
.ly had every reason and every right
to be proud of her children.
II love to see my Trees grow,
though" she said. II talk of their
ages just as people talk Of the ages
of their children.
Il say how smart they are for their
years. and how pretty they do look,
even though it may sound a little
boastful in their mother to be the one
saying this.
"But l can't help 1t, Billie Brownie !;
| really can't help it."
And Billie Brownie quite under
stood.

| Korean lespedza is legume and a
forage crop of promising value for a
fcertain zone which according to the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture may be roughly described as ly-
ing between southern Pennsylvania
and northern Ohio on the north and
the southern border of Virginia and
Kentucky on the south, extending
from the Atlantic coast to Iowa. It
has also given promise in Kansas,
and on the eastern border of the
Great Plains. Korean lespedza is
somewhat similag to and is a close
relative to the common or Japanese
lespedza already widely grown in the
Southern states, but it differs from it
in size, coarseness, and earliness as
we'll as some technical characteristics.
Its earliness is believed to be weak
ness so far as its use in the South is
concerned because it is ripe and dead
at least month before killing frost
and so produces no grazing at time
when the common or Japanese va
riety is still green and fit to Craze.
On the other hand the new variety,
or Korean, starts earlier in the spring
and grows more rapidly, thus furnish
ing grazing before the Japanese has
sufficient size to be grazed. In view
of this fact it is believed that it's chief
field of usefulness will be in the Sec
ton mentioned above. It has been
tested at number of the experiment
stations and in Kansas, Iowa and Ok
lahoma it showed remarkable resist
ance to drought.
The new variety is the result of the
rece pit of a small package of seed by
the Office. of Foreign Plant and Seed
Introduction in 1919 from Korea. 1t
was soon apparent that here was a
mex kind of plant and careful plant
ings were accordingly made.

TREE GROWTH

Underneath the bark, upon the
trunks of the trees. new layers Of
wood were growing.
THAT is the way" said Mother Ma
ture. that my trees grow, and by the
rings made by these new layers each
year the ages Of my trees can be told
sometimes those who know about
trees bore into the core of the trunk
Of each tree and, taking it out, find
out how old the tree is. Then the
hole can be closed up carefully and
the tree can grow on.
I'm Olden times they sometimes
cut down tree to find out it's age.
but they have found out that that h
not necessary and that it Is only fool
ish to destroy the trees.
II must tell you some more about
my trees" continued Mother Nature
to Billie Brownie. who had come to
call on her.
"Oh, please do" said Billie. II love
trees and l love to hear about them"
my children, the Birch trees, and
my children, the Beech trees" cOntin-
ued Mother Nature. "are not struck
by lightning.
"They are not liked by lightning
and that has always been a matter of
great rejoicing to me and to both of
those families of trees.
'Then there are my Witch-Hazel
Shrub children" Mother Nature went
on. land they are always so full of
fun at this time of the year.
Perhaps you have heard them play
the popping gamer"
"I'm not sure that ] have" said
Billie Brownie. 1T seems to me

HURT CHASING RUM CAR.
Policeman John Nicola, Blinded by
Smoke Screen, Hits Truck.

Blinded by smoke screen while
pursuing a suspected rum runner,
Motorcycle Policeman John Nicola of
the twelfth precinct crashed into a
truck near Rhode Island avenue and 1st
street northwest early this morning.
DaZed, he was taken to Emergency
Hospital, where DIR. Daniel l.. Borden,
police and fire surgeon, found he had
sustained a fracture of the left leg and
that there was a hole cut in his foot.
He may also have sustained internal
injuries.
Nicola sighted the car at Michigan
avenue and Lincoln road northeast
and started in pursuit. A colored
driver was the only occupant. He
sped south and cut loose with the
smoke screen, which made it impos-
sible for the policeman to get the
license number. The pursuer, how
ever, was able to identify the make of
the car and obtain a fair description
of it.

girls may often be seen flying kites,
which they believe will give an
augury of their future. If the kite
remains unbroken good fortune in
the happy marriage and handsome
husband is in store for them; if mis-

girls put in this test that if the kite
