even more frequently ho finds that riches do not grow on
ten story walls.
BUT STILL HE GOES TO THE CITY.
In going there the boy simply follows his daddy's dol
lars. For years his daddy and his mother and his big sister
and his Aunt Mary Ann have been mailing their money to
the big city for Mail Order bargains,

and built up their own community
and provided opportunities for out

Transplanting Tobacco
liditor Enterprise:—lt will soon
be time for our farmers to think
about transplanting their crops of
tobacco and I am writing this ar
ticle, giving yon my views. I am
satisfied that some of our best
farmers won't agree with me, but
this is a good time for an open dis
cussion on the subject in the first
place I don't believe our people get
their tobacco set out early enough
in this section of the country and
my advice to the farmers who has
his plants ready land ready is to
plant his crop if it be as early as
the 15th day of Apnl. 'One of the
best crops I have ever seen aince
I've beeu in this section was plant
ed on the 14th day April. A to
bacco plant will stand a great deal
of cold weather, our old friend
Cris Manning who is a good Reg
ister of Deeds as well as a good
farmer, says he has seen it snow
on tobacco after it was set out in
the field and it didn't effect it at
all and he made a good crop that
year and the diffrencejn a crop set
out from 15 of Ap||l to May 1 st
and one put out thrSe weeks later
would be considerable to the aver
age farmer and would amout to
thousand of dollars to a section
where annual output was into mil
lion of pounds. This is plain to
alt experienced tobacco farmers
yet we see all of a month or more
taken up by some farmers in get
ting the crop set. Iets do better
this year
The preparation of the ground
to receive the crops should be
thorough enough to render the
soil fine. and moist. Fineness of
soil affords a necessary physical
connection between the particles
and the roots of the plants, places
in reach the food supplied. When
these conditions are wanting much
replanting will be necessary. The
methods of setting the plants should
be determined by the need apparent;
which we, to get the roots into the
ground at a proper depth accord
ing to the size of the plant to pre
sent the soil firmly to the roots to
furnish any of moisture
Most small towns
nre short of young men.
As a rule there are
plenty of agreeable
girlj who would ob
ject to matrimony;
there nre plenty of old
people and enough ba
bies to go around. But
the boy—oh, where is
he ?
Tho boy, the young
man, has gone to the
city, where ho imagines
there aro opportunities.
To him the old home
town is dull and stupid.
Ho sees no future for
himself there. Both for
social and financial con
siderations he rushes off
to the great city. Very
frequently ho finds that
and to leave the surface aronnd the
plant loose and dry as to setting
the plant with a seasion or with
out a season. First the plant
should be set down to the bud
whether it is a long plant or a
short one, in the next place the soil
should be pressed firmly to the
roots instead of just around the
stem, next if the ground is dry
water should be used, and last
whether water is used or not the
surface should be left loose and
dry to prevent moisture from going
off by evaporation. , Let one hand
drop the plants and one follow at
once with a peg and make the hole
to suit the length of each particular
plant which he inserts anoher hand
follows with water pouring care
fully just enough to barley fill the
hole without wetting the surface,
after the water has soaked in loose
surface dirt is pulled around the
plant and left without pressing.
Thus we see has the plant been set
at the proper depth the water
served the double pupose of wat
ing the plant and of setting the
moist earth close around the roots
the loose soil fills the top of the
hole covers the ground about the
plants and retards evaporotion of
the moisture beneath. This
methord calls for experienced hands
and will cost you some little fire,
trouble and expense but its all re
paid in the crop and bear in mind
that when setting a crop of tobacco
a man "Hasn't time to be in a
hurry".

That Nteksl Saved His Lift.
When Dr. Brigs* arrived at th«
Meachem house he found his patient In
a comatose condition, which made nec
essary several hours of restorative la
bor.
"Now, how did this happen?" he de
manded of Mrs. Meachem when th«
trouble was over. "Did you give him
the powder I left?"
"Yes, sir."
"As much as would go on a dims
and no more?"
"Yes, air—that la, we couldn't flud
a dime, ao I shook a nickel and flva
pennies out of Willis's hank and gar»
him Juet what they would carry."
"It's lucky the nickel waa there, a«
that you didn't havs to use five mors
coppers," remarked the doctor dryly.
