1t used to be the custom at Wash.
ington's estate, Mount Vernon, for a
distinguished guest to plant a shrub.
bush or vine before his departure
just as later, in the '90s, visitors nj
a house wrote Sentiments in the
family autograph album. When Nellie
Custis became engaged to Justice
Lewis a rosebush was planted al
Mount Vernon to commemorate the
event.
Martha Washington was very proud
of her rose garden, to which she de.
voted much time and thought. 1t was
on the north side of the house, be.
tween the lawn and the negro quar-
tiers. The mistress of Mount Vernon
was locally famed for her rose water
and for a perfumed unguent made
from rose leaves which she was fond
Of presenting to her friends.
Justice Lewis proposed to Nellie
Custis and was accepted by her in a
c0rner of the rose garden one moon-
Lit evening, and the momentous scene
was witnessed by a negro gardener
whose presense was, of course, I'M
suspected by the sweethearts. Next
morning the gardener planted a rose.
bush on the spot where the troths
had been plighted.
Not long after the wedding Sambo
received permission to marry one of
the house servants. He led her to the
rosebush, seated her on the grass
where Nellie Gusts had sat, pumped
down beside her and popped the ques-
ton. After that all the negro SWANS
on the plantation did their counting
beside the magic rosebush, which
was believed by them to exercise a
happy influence over sweethearts.-

The church where George Wash.
ington served as %vestryman has been
restored for preservation as another
shrine to the first President. The
ancient building, six miles out of
Washington on the Lee highway, was
first planned when Washington and
sever other vestrymen met in the
old frame church that had been built
on the site in 1884 to decide whether
to repair this building or to erect an
other.
They decided to build a brick
church on the same site and James
Wren, a descendant of Christopher
Wren, noted church architect, was
commissioned to prepare the plans.
The contract was awarded to him at
a price the equivalent of $1,000.
The church remained in religious
service until the Civil war, when it
was used frs. as a hospital, then as a
stable for Union cavalry.

Oh, My Gosh!

This was less than 100 years ago,
in America!
Someone has dug up the records
of the Lancaster, Ohio, school
board back in 1928. In these rec
ofds there is an account of a pro-
posed debate as TO whether railroads
were practical or not. Permission
was asked to hold the debate in the
school house, and the minutes of
the school board meeting ran as
follows:
You are welcome to use the
school TO debate all proper questions
IN, but such things as railroads and
teleeraphs are impossibillties aud
rank infidelitv. There is nothing in
the word Of God about them. IF
God had designed that His intelli-
gent creatures should travel at the

Homage of World
Paid to Washington
History Affords No Other
Example of Tributes
Paid to Worth.

George Washington has achieved
immortality. From time to time ap-
pear writings aiming to add to the
general body of knowledge concerning
him. Nest OF these are hypercritical,
some would appear destructive, all
fall flat. The True George Washing
ton" has been exalted to a plane upon
which he defies injury. He not only
Is first in the hearts Of his country.
men, be is enshrined there.
Historians affect solicitude because
myth and tradition have oyerlaid and
concealed the real Washington. The
people know their Washington as they
want to know him. They attribute to
him those qualities which they idealize
as those of a great and good man.
Given Worlds Homage.
Perhaps to no other character In
history is like homage given. A few
other people who have struggled for
freedom have their llberators, but
Washington In the minds of the Amer
lean people is more than a liberator.
The Revolutionary war might have
been won without the leadership of
Washington, but it Is not at alr cer-
tain that, without the ~steadying innu.
ence of Washington, the ship of state
could have been launched safely.
In the lengthy annals Of England
there is no name held in reverence by
the English as the name Of Washing
ton is revered by Americans. The
French people and the Germans have
no such hero. But all these, holding in
common a high regard for freedom
and the rights of man, have claimed q
share in Washington.

England has been glad to proclaim

County Agent Notes

Due to Blunt Smut of wheat las
wear, the estimated decrease in
yields throughout the United S ates
amounted TO approximately $4,000.
900 bushels During the moalh OF
July, 1926, the smut discounts at
the KanSss City market were more
than $l20.O00.0 0. From these fig
ureS. the necessity for treating wheat
this coming spring can be readily
seen. the estimated loss on smut
in Montana last year amounted TO
over $1,000, 100000.
AS IN the past, the Montana tx
tension Department will conduct a
concentrated campaign to bring
about the universal treatment of
seed before planting this spring. AT
present there are a number Of
methods used for treating seed
wheat for smut. The one that is
giving the most satisfactory results
is the using of the Copper Carbon
ate Dust method. This method of
treatment has proven itself very
superior 10 any other. Ii has the
advantage over the formlldehS de
treatment in that the work may be
done during the slack season ana
there is no danger to the germlna-
ton of the seed. When using the
lormaldehyde treatment, the work
must be done just previously to

colleges and experiment stations, il
has been found that termination
