COUNTY AGENT
Let us grow clover and grass on the hill;
While intensely the lovels and flats we till.
The cows and hens will settle our daily bill;
While the beeves, sheep and tobacco the coffers fill.
And, when orchard, garden and sty the larder fill,
Then, with a smile, will Mary greet her Bill.
GOOD PASTURES-The Coun
ty Agent enjoyed a visit on last
Thursday from the Director of
the State Experiment Stations,
Dr. Winters, Mr. Earl Hostet
ler, who is in charge of the beef
cattle, sheep and hog work in
the stations, and Mr. J. W.
Goodman, District Extension
Agent in the mountins.
This visit was made princip
ally that Mr. Hostetler might
look into the beef cattle and
sheep conditions in the moun
shown by the s uniform good
character of the spring lambs
was remarked by Mr. Hostet
ler. He stated that this group
of lambs was as nice a lot as he
had found in the Western part
of the state.
Coming from the mountain
pasture on John Ramsey's farm
Mr. Hostetler said that he had
not seen as good pasture on
this trip. He also was impress
ed by the pasture on the Little
Creek farm of Ed English and
on Dewey Lisenbee's farm,
We feel that the making of
is because of the -decreased
cost of production due to less
labor, less feed (per pound fat)
and less overhead.
Npw the 'Missouri Station
comes out with some reports on
the net profit received from
flocks of hens laying different
numbers of eggs per Ivan. They
have reports on 7 flocks of
White Leghorns, averaging 330
hens each and 117 eggs per
hen, and on 17 flocks of White
Leghorns, averaging 322 hens

"I'll put you away,"
Said a sweet little boy,
To a present from his mother
A brand new toy.
So he put it away,
And then he forsrot
That nice little ball
His mother had bought.
Many years then passed,
And his mother had died:
When a man found a ball
He sat down and cried.
The colors had faded,
Of that brand new toy.
That once had been given j
To a sweet little boy.
And so like the ball
Are we all today
The sweetest of flowers
Will soon fade away.
So let's do our best.
And go at life with a smile,
And try to live happily
All of the while.
We all do forget things,
Like the -boy did the ball;
But everyone twill remember,
Someday, one and all.
Smoke Eaters Are
Santa Claiis Helpers
In a number of places the members
of city fire departments are planning
to again put in time between alarms
by acting as Santa Glaus' helpers.
Spare hours of the "smoke eaters"
are devoted to making toys for tena
ment and other kiddies who might
otherwise find that Christmas is just
another dreary day of the year. In
other cases, clubs and charitable or
ganizations; collect broken and dis
carded toys which the firemen repair ;
and duco or paint in brilliant colors.'
Among the first to assist in brighten-.
ing little lives were the fire fighters
of Wilmington, Delaware. A number
of other departments have followed
the lead ' of the Wilmingto firemen.
The early start to be made this year
'will mean happiness ; for greater
number of youngsters than ever be
fore.' - i
