(, 1923, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) There is an ancient saying to the effect that affection of the deeper sort Winds the eyes of the affected pair to any imperfections one for the other, or, in other words, that love is blind. This saying undoubtedly may be true, ? but it does have its exceptions. Hazel Dora certainly was In love with Ernest Hallon. She knew it And Ernest Hallon ? well, he could not help succumbing to the charms of Hazel's blue eyes and light, curling hair. The result was inevitable, and the wedding date set. Now, love may be blind, but it was not so afllicted in this particular in stance. Hazel was aware that her fiance had a most deplorable taste in neckwear. In fact, she bitterly resent ed tliis taste. She detested the color that Ernest affected in his ties; It was always the same ? purple. Hazel hated : purple. I On the other hand, Ernest was pro foundly disturbed over a certain phys ical defect of Hazel's ? a detect only apparent on a warm day or after a strenuous dance ? the defect being a j shiny nose. Its cause lay in Hazel's prejudice against coshietics. The best of lovers ?iave their differ ences of opinion, and in this Ernest and Hazel were no exception. It was in one of these disputes that purple tie and shiny nose came up for dis cussion. "Ernest, dear," cooed Hazel, "I do \vish you would wear a different col ored tie to that social next Tuesday. I just adore a blue tie with white stripes." "Sorry, dear, purple suits me." "I don't see why." "Too bad that you don't." Whereupon llazel became furious. "Too l>ad ? well, it's too bad that you 4on't. Why. you're making a laughing stocli of yourself ? people are saying jou're a freak, always with a purple tie. I hnte it." "Jf you're going to the dance with ,.ie next Tuesday, Hazel, you'll see the purple tie? that's all I've got to say. It doesn't bother me a bit what people think or say." _ "It should bother you, what I think or say." "Ordinarily, yes; , but not in this case. Hut while we are on this criti cal subject, allow me to suggest that you powder your nose. It really looks greasy." "Powder my nose ? why, you re inso lent ! You're positively insulting. I?" "That's enough ? you've had your an f; I've had mine. When you- take j measures agniust a shiny nose, III' adopt a new color in ties." Hazel never heard the last sen- j tence, for. inoensed at his rebuke, she turned and left him. Tuesday night's social came. Hazel was. there ami so was Ernest. It must be confessed that Hazel's nose stood terribly in need of powder after the third dance, and that Ernest's tie .of purple was not a bit in accord with iiie decorative scheme. Also be it j known that It I axel's linger lacked the i engagement ling and that both looked j glum and neither enjoyed the social one bit. Weeks went on and lengthened into months. Tin- date of the wedding slipped by ami Hazel cried bitterly to herself. The stenographers in llallon's oliice spread abroad that he had be come an "awful grouch." i Lucky It :s that humans have friends. Lucky it was that the friends of Ernest ami Hazel were mutual. Lucky it was that they regretted the breaking oft." of the engagement. And these friends, regretting, sought about for means to restore things as they had been. It took them a long time, for they knew not the basis of the quarrel, but finally it came out when Hazel sobbingly told the story under i the embrace of her dearest girl chum, j Then did the plotters get to work. Some time later there was a house party, to which llazel came, and like wise Ernest. They met and, gazing at each other, rubbed their eyes as if they were not seeing straight. And what wonder, for Hazel's nose gleamed, white with an overdose of powder and Ernest wore a blue-and-white tie. Each gasped, each took a step forward, and all turned their backs as the twain ipade up in loving embrace. A month later the wedding bells rang merrily and Hazel dropped the Dome and be came Ilallon. How account for the change? Listen. Ilallon had a penchant for emphasizing what he believed by prefixing the words "I'll bet you." One day a cer tain friend took him up, and made the condition of the bet that the loser should wear a tLe purchased by the other. Ernest lost. And Hazel ? that was easy. On the night of the party a friend casually remarked that there was a speck of dirt on Hazel's nose. She would wipe it off. She did, but she left thereon a deposit of powder Instead. ******* Now that both are married, does Hazel powder her nose or Ernest af 'ect purple ties? Not at all. Hazel s too busy with the children, and Srnest wears the ties that Hazel buys him. Corr#ct?d. * "Yes," said Mdude de Celia, during the discussion of tome circumstance or another, "that's about the size of It." "My dear, don't use that slang,'* gently remarked the other girl. "Say, That approximates to Its dimeo* ?Jons.* " T SETTING Ol/T YOUNG ORCHARD First Consideration Is Thorough Preparation of Soli ? Plow Deep, Harrow and Drag. In setting a young orchard the first consideration Is the preparation of the soil. The ground should be plowed deep, harrowed and dragged thorough ly; in fact the soil should receive the same thorough and careful prepara tion as for truck. There are two methods generally used in laying out orchards ? the meth od of planting in squares, which is the one so generally use^ in the past, and the triangular methoC, more recently j udopted. By the former method the trees are planted at the four corners of a square, whi^h makes them come opposite each other in rows. ? 13y the triangular method, the trees are plant fd on the three corners of an equal sided triangle, and are so placed that the trees of alternate rows come op posite the open spaces of the adjoin ing rows. Of the two methods, the latter seems preferable, as by this ? method a greater number of trees can I be planted to the acre, and cultivation is permitted in three directions, in- j stead of two, as in the former method, j In setting the trees, large holes should ; be dug, or dynamited, in order that j the roots will not be cramped or bent, j Any bruised or broken roots should be j removed. The tree should be set to the same depth as when in the nursery row, and soil should be packed tirmly about the roots by treading it down with the foot, except the last several inches, which should be line, loose soil. The tree should be pruned before setting. The roats are usually cut back in digging from the nursery row, and the tops should be pruned to bal ance the roots. Tretfs should be set only when the soil is in good working condition, but they may be planted i when the ground is dry, by pouring j two or three gallons of water in the hole where the tree is set when it is about two-thirds f:!led. allowing it to disappear before you finish filling the I hole. To/promote a good growth, and ; encourage root development, the young 1 orchard should be thoroughly culti- j vated the first several years after planting. If the soil is very fertile such crops as potatoes or beans are sometimes planted between the rows, ? ? ? , Young Trees Ready for Planting, Pruned in Different Ways. but if the soil Is lacking In fertility this plan is not to be recommended. In the latter e/ent, cowpeas can be drilled in rows ijnd cultivated between the orchard ro\rs, and this crop will help restore fertility to the soil. A crop of cowpeas plowed under occa sionally will li??lp build fertility and keep the soil well stocked with hu mus. When the orchard comes into bear ing, barnyard manure should be scat tered about the trees occasionally, us ing (rare to ktep it away from the trunk out where the feeding roots can more easily get at the fertility. EFFICIENT SPRAY FOR FRUIT First Consideration Is to Apply at Right Time and Use Proper Ma terials Thoroughly. Good fruit cau no longer be raised without sufficient spraying, which con sis^ of spraying (1) at the right time, (2) using the proper spray materials, (3) applying the spray thoroughly. To apply the spray thoroughly requires a pump. It is be^t to secure a barrel pump, as work con be done much better.
