from the pool, Barry's kisses warm

to talk Of him; she knew that; she
had evaded.
Now she kept going over this
recalling each word. She thought,
grudgtngly: HE doesn't need TO go

With each new twist her I'M

to her gently like a. bright ray of

in low eager vibrance: You two

her shoulders had crossed down
about her waist, drawn her to him.

Yet she was intensely curious
about that dinner. She stayed at

were at dinner now. Was Tia sit

IL was quite while before she
spoke of it to him. Often now as
they rode in the evenings, she stole
q glance at his wonderfully set head.
A little faint terror throbbed
through her because it swept her so
just watching him. Sometimes
she reached her hand to his neck,
touching his cheek, whispering:
Barry, I'm dying all for love. And

And you do that again, frail-
heaven knows what will happen.
She said softly, ready either to
sing or to cry: "Barry-it seems as
though we're at the top of the
world all alone. And ! love it! 1t
seems that I don't need or want a
thing but you. A little while ago If
any one told me would be willing

His mouth, full cut and sweet,
came down to hers: "You really
love me that much, Chickie. Why?
Say it again."
"Then are you glad? But did you
want It 20 turn out like this?"
Looking into her eyes, he shook
his head: mo, ma'am. Or I would

,'SH0T GUM FARMING
MAKES BAD ADVERTISING

Every effort should be made tC
discourage 'shot gum" or haphazard
methods of farming which the past
five years has taught US is a very
unsafe practice as well as a poor
type of advertising for our county,
Perhaps once in five years during
an unusually favorable year these
methods can be employed with a
reasonable degree of safety but we
can never foretell when these favor
able practices will play out in the
long run. People are too prone to
take the experience of one year and
base their entire farming operations
for the next year on these experien-
ces.
The stable and wise farmer does
not do this. His practices are the
result of the most favorable results
I'VE a period of years and his income
is greater than the farmer who does
not adopt such practices. 1t is to be
regretted this year that there are
a large number of farmers drilling
wheat into foul stubble fields with
out any preparation whatsoever.
Some of these fields have thistles
growing in them and blowing over
them. The outcome of such an OPP
Grafton can easily be predicted, as
it would require an enormous amount
of moisture in a backward season
to give such practices a good crop.
Such practices spell failure and
result in bad advertising for the en-
tire county. 1t has been proven con-
clusively that both summerfallow,
if properly titled, and clean corn
ground are good for a wheat crop
and have stood up over the most
trying conditions, and the farmers
who practice these methods enough
to insure an expense income is the
farmer who is building up Roosevelt
county and giving US good advertis-
ing at the time when it is most
needed, while the "shot gun" farmer
is giving us poor advertising which
will be very injurious towards the
development of our country this
year.
The corr farmer, in order to mar
ket his corr crop to the best advant-
age, is the farmer of balanced pro-
duction with his eggs in several bas-
kets. He is more permanent and
stable because of his livestock pro-
auctions which go with it, than the
specialized farmer and is the biggest
to our stabilized farming. Let's
discourage poor practices and en-
courage better ones.-D. B. NOBLE,
County Agent.
