UNEXPECTED REWARDS
Hilda Richmond

The Ross children had had as
their guests the children from across
the way, and for an hour he SIDE
yard had been noisy. II was easy
to see that the play had not been
altogether pleasant, but Mrs. Ross,
chatting with her mother, had sat
calmly through 1t, not Offering any
suggestions nor correcting any OF
the players. Finally the guests be-
come angry and with cross words
departed to their own home while
the Ross children came to rest on
the porch, dispirited nd tired.
Mrs. Ross slipped away and came
back with a heaping plate OF cookies
and a pitcher of cold lemonade.
Help yourselves, children" she said
pleasantly. You have earned a lit
tie reward"
Joufully they carried of the treat.
They would have a picnic under the
apple tree in the back yard. Then
the grandmother laid down her sew
ing to exclaim over modern notions
with regard to rearing boys and
girls, particularly about giving re-
wards when children had been noisy
and unable to keep their guests con-
tented and happy.
Mrs. Ross only laughed and then
asked her mother If she mad noticed
that the wrangling was almost all
among the visitors and that her
children had made many concessions
to keep peace, had given the guests
the best of everything and had tried

the rate of gallons to 100 gallons
of water. For those varieties which
are subject to, bitter rot. bIotch and
fruit spot, growers should use the
4-8-100 Bordeaux mixture. -.
For the Williams variety a pre-
harvest application is recommended
for the week of July 9, with the fol-
lowing optional treatments: (l) Mic
Otine sulphate pint to 100 gallons,
and summer oil l gallon to 1O0: (2)
"Black-leaf No. 155" s pounds to 100,
or one of the huorines such as
"Kale" 3 pounds to 100. A sulphur
fungicide should not be combined
with summer oil, and no hydrated
lime should be added to .'Kale."
In spraying later varieties, II
fruit is to be washed, three appli-
cations for weeks commencing July
8. July %. and August 6, are rec
commended, using 8 pounds of lead
arsenate and pounds of hydrated
lime to 100 gallons of spray. If
fruit is not to be washed, the grow
ers are advised to use any of the
optional materials as indicated for
the Williams variety In accordance
with the above mentioned dates.
With reference to the spraying of
peaches, DR.. Adams states that to
renew cOverage of fruit II is recon-
mended that a spray or a dust APP
plication be made at this time, U.s.
ing dry-mix 20 pounds to 100. or

hard to hold their own tempers In
check. Yes, the grandmother had
observed all that, and thought the
children had done remarkably well
in dealing with the trouble makers,
but still she did not see why. after
morning of entire failure to make
their guests have a pleasant time, a
reward was In order.
II think they deserve something

found that an unexpected reward.

not wholly succeeded. helps in the
next struggle"
All at once the grandmother saw
the wisdom and justice of the treat
ment and said so frankly.
Out under the apple tree the chill
dren were playing happily. Their
ruffled feelings were soothed, and
they were dimly conscious of a sense
of gratitude that their mother I'M
derstOod and appreciated their diff
ficulties. They felt repaid for their
efforts to remember that the trouble
some children were their guests.
They would try again another time.
And their cheerfulness had its effect
on the children across the way. too.
IF we will be good. may we come
back?" called an eager voice.
And when permission was given,
the neighbOrs actually did strive to
play more fairly and better natured-
ly for a short time. When trouble
threatened again. Mrs. Ross told her
flock that 1t was time to do some
errands. And so this time the visit
ended happily.

LUCKY
By ANTHONY DI DIEGO

6y ANTHONY ID DIEGO
Twas a lucky day when l foupd
you,
Luck was mine and all my dreams
came true;
Lady Fortune smiled happily,
When she sent you, sweetheart, to
me.
Twas a lucky day when you came
along,
And filled my heart with a wonder
full song,
The sun was shining brightly from
above,
For my precious and lucky day of
love.
I'm lucky for having someone that
is so sweet,
Who has made all of my dreams
beautiful and complete,
And brought a wonderful happiness,
That l am so lucky to possess.
I'm lucky cause you came my way,
And now my skies are never gray,
l feel like a king although haven't
crown,
1t is because l have you, because
you are my own.
I'm lucky for possessing your
charms divine,
I'm lucky, sweetheart, because you
are mine;
Though in other things much luck
or fortune l haven't had,
| am lucky that | have you and
don't feel so bad.

Produce Market Notes

half bushel pack.
Melons Sell Better
Favorable weather helped the de-
mSnd for watermelOns and prices
held generally firm under the liber-
al supplies. Carlot sales in eastern
markets ranged 5000 to 1865 and
medium size melons, unit Easis.
sold 80 to 45c. Producing sections
quoted CARROTS $3.50, with quiet mar
kets and generally steady cOndi-
tions. The melon crop is turning out
considerably lighter than expected
and probably no more than bali the
average production in states now
shipping Excessive rains caused
damage In many producing sections
last month. AS compared with last
season, indicated production would
be. less by one-sixth.
Market supplies of western can
talOupes have been moderate and
with very warm weather the demand
has been able to keep them cleaned
up without much change in price. A
few carloads of Georgia and South
Carolina cantaloupes are on the
market but quality is ordinary and
prices at $3.50 to 50 per standard
crate, are ranging low as compared
with the western stock.
Tomatoes Selling Higher
Prices of tomatoes have shown
wide fluctuations during the past
few weeks, owing to shifts in rate
of supply. Shipments are now COM
ing from sections as far north as
Maryland and this stick sells at
SIPS to $3.50 a box in New York.
North Carolina tomatoes sold at
$3.50 to $1.75 in Baltimore and BOs-.
ton the first week of July. Tomato
supplies are likely to continue
heavy most of the time because ac-
reage and yield are better this year
and estimated production greater
by nearly one-half compared with
last season.
The onion season is moving north
ward although there are still liberal
from Texas. Some of the
states are beginning to
ship early onions and the crops of
Orange County, New York. and OF
the Connecticut Valley are about |
ready for market. Arrivals of New |
Jersey onions at New York amount
to about carloads daily by motor
truck. The mid-season onion acre
age H. larger than average but the
area of the late crop is smaller than !
usual and yields in dry sections
seem likely to be reduced.
New York and Michigan together
have about half the late acreage.
There was considerable weather
damage in both states and the crop
Is somewhat backward. Acreage ii
set onions seems less than usual.
Onion supply, and demand are mod
crate in the large markets and
prices are holding about steady at
he level of late June. New Jersey
lellow stock sells at 81 IS to s1.25
per bushel in New York. Southern
ind western Bermuda type onions
,ring SIPS to $1.75 per SO pounds in
everal markets.
Supplies of lettuce continued lib
'ral from producing sections of CEN
raj New York and sold at 10 to soc
,er two dozen in city markets. Wes-
eTn lettuce no longer commands
high prices but still sells
omewhat higher than last s"ason.

starting to bloom. II is necessary
to NOW twice year to eradicate
some weeds.
Woody shrubs. bushes and young
tree sprouts can best be controlled
by being cut at the proper time. The
Kansas Agricultural Experiment
station has found that buckbrush
and sumac can be eradicated II cut
while they are in flower. The Con-
necticut station has shown that July
moving of brush is most successful.
Graduating bushes. sprouts. and
woody shrubs appears to be more
difficult In the South than In the
North. Grubbing them out or kill
ing with plant poison seems to be
the only sure way OF eradication.

Produce markets were active and
higher in early July before the hol-
iday but prices were inclined to sag
off as soon as the special buying was
over. Carlot shipments have decreas-
ed a little after many weeks of
steady gain, but the current rate of
movement is about 1870 above that
of a year ago. There was a let-up in
potato shipments near the first of
the month but output is still near
200 cars a day. The potato market
is doing better but is still unsettled.
Most fruits are selling well. Early
apple supply is gaining rapidly and
prices declining Shipments Of
tern pears and table grapes are be-
coming active. Peach arrivals are
moderate, market quality improving
and prices rather high for large
sizes. Orange and grapefruit ship
ments are decreasing and prices
holding about steady. Western can
taloupe shipments are much lighter
and prices firm. Carlot movement
of beans and cabbage is more mod
crate now but motor truck supplies
keep prices low. Receipts Of early
northern onions are increasing and
prices declining. Tomato markets
made sharp changes but carlot sup
plies are increasing again.
Supplies of most lines OF vege-
tables were heavy during the July
holiday market season. Prices of
some lines tended upward early in
the month because OF the special
demand. Shipments and trading be-
came more quiet after the 4th but
prices were fairly steady. Potato
market showed little further change
and tomatoes were still unsettled.
String beans and cabbage continue
to meet dull, weak market condi- !
tiOns because of the long continued |
heavy supplies. Increased receipts |
of northern onions have brought the |
market considerably below the pre-
Willing level of last month. oontin-
ued high temperatures helped the
sale of fruits, cantaloupes, tomatoes |
and melons.
Early Apples Lower
Shipments of early apples are in
creasing rapidly and prices no Ion
ger reached the high levels quoted
at the seasons opening. although
best Transparents are selling up to
$3.50 and even So per bushel in
some markets, while at the other
extreme poor lots sell as low as 81
or even less. Eastern markets are
generally below midwestern with
prevailing jobbing range Of 81 to 81
a bushel on Harvest and Transpar-
ent Old crop apples sell at steady
prices. mostly $1.75 to 50 for good
fruit.
Peach supplies are mostly from
Georgia and Alabama. Many sales OF
southern fruit In the half bushel
pack range 75c to 81. There was lit
tie difference in prices Of same va
rieties from the different sections.
Early Rose and Hileys ran to small
sizes but Germans are larger and
some of the best brought SO to $S.75
per 6-basket carrier In New York.
A half bushel pack Of Early Rose
ranged 81 to $3.50 but a few fine
lots sold higher. Local supplies in
Georgia producing sections are re-
ported light the first week OF July,
demand good and prices about
steady at soc to 81 for Hileys in

A KIND

We have little patience with the
type of faith exhibited by Rev.
Albert Tester, mountain preacher,
who allowed himself to be bitten
bv a rattlesnake-so little, in fact,
that the matter has not been men
toned heretofore in these columns.
1t is referred to now only to
bring it alongside a parallel case, in
which the parents of eight-year-old
Wallace Doyle Sharpe, Jr., Alabama
child. refused medical aid for their
child's infected leg in the belief that
faith exceeds medicine. A court
order forced an operation on the
affected limb and the child may live
despite the attitude of The parents
who would have none of the assist
ance.
The two cases, it would seem,
correspond. Both instances are of
benighted persons suffering through
fragrant misinterpretation of the
Scriptures.
Few there be who attain that
state of abundant faith which is to
be so desired. 1t is evident that the
Alabama family and those of the
Tester type fall w~oefully short Of
the goal. :
