In sad but loving remembrance OF
ny darling baby Catherine Brauner,
Who past away seven years ago to-day.
To day the month of September is
here,
To me the saddest of the year.
For seven years ago to-day,
My darling baby past away.
Days of sadness still come over me,
Hidden tears often flow.

Though she died seven years ago.
To-day my heart is heavy,
My thoughts are all of thee;
How long for you and miss you
No one on earth can tell.

From the ones we love so dear;

SCHOOL DAYS AND EYESICHT

BY DIR. ]. FRED ANoREAE
The twenty-five million children in
the United States are back at their
school desks. At least one fourth OF
this number have eyes so completely
out of focus that their progress IN
school is interferred with, and as
result they are being robbed of their
opportunity for preparation for life.
The Importance OF the eyes, in &C
quiring an education, cannot be over
emphasized A child with defective
vision is handicapped with his studies
and many failures can be traced d.
rectly to this cause. These defects not
only retard the child in his school
work, but will handicap him later in
life. If neglected, they tend to grow
worse, rather than better, and will do
him permanent harm. On the other
hand, eye defects may, in most in
stances, be quickly and definitely cor
rected, if detected in time.
A child has no means whatever of
knowing whether or not his eyes are
right, and until he reaches the age of
understanding and judgement, hemust
depend entirely upon his parents to
take care of this important matter for
him. They should see to it that their
child's eyes are examined, by com
petent Optometrist or Oculist, before
he starts to school, and then again
once each school year thereafter.
Every child is entitled to fair start
in life, and this cannot be had with
defective vision.

VETCH PRODUCES BETTER
TOBACCO

w. B. Posey, Tobacco Specialist
A large number of tobacco growers
are growing better tobacco each year
through use OF Hairy Vetch. Still
more farmers should grow the crop.
If growers want to grow more tobacco
of better quality per acre at lower
cost of production they should improve
their soil. According to tests on
which estimates have been made and
records kept, vetch is the best cover
crop toimprove the soil for tobacco.
! 1t may be sown later than the clovers
and it will thrive better on poorer and
sourer soils than the regular clovers.
Many tobacco growers have estimated
THAT good crop of vetch is equal to
u tons of manure per acre. Ask your
neighbor who has tried vetch, what he
thinks of the crop.
Have you noticed that tobacco after
vetch has survived better than tobacco
after any other crop or turf during the
drought?
Vetch may be seeded alone or in
combination with wheat or rye. 1t
may be seeded alone from August
LIST to September 10TH If seeded be-
tween September 10th and October 9TH.
it should be mixed with either wheat
or rye. Wheat is preferable. Land
that has never grown vetch should re-
ceive mixture for the first seeding.
A good mixture would be , pecks of
vetch and or 3 pecks of wheat
incubation is very important for
the first seeding After the first crop,
incubation is not necessary. There
are several ways to inoculate vetch.
Your County Agent KIN, VS. the best
and he will be glad to assist you. Do
not take any chances with liquid in
oculum on sour soils. Vetch seed
should be covered but not too deeply,
about one inch is the best depth You
may also find vetch and rye very
fine early pasture for sheep and cattle
next winter and spring, yet grazing
has tendency to rob the soil of much
fertility.
