ADVANTAGES Of IRRIGATION
As one becomes more familiar with
tbo condltkws under which the former
in the Irrigated tracts of the west
works his land and handles his crops
It is clear, that he has several advon-
i stages over his fellow farmer In the
central and eastern states, who relies
upon rainfall alone for the moisture
necessary tor the growth and maturi
ty of bis crops. Perhaps bis chief and
most Important advantage Is that be
la able to put water on bis land at
will, being free from the distraction
and annoyance of heavy rains during
the time of seeding and cultivation,
which would soak the ground, delay
cultivation and give the weeds a big
boost Coupled with a perfect regu
lation of tbe moisture which is al
lowed to go npon tbe land la another
favorable condition tbe lurge number
of clear, bright days during the bar-
vest months, which make possible the
perfect ripening of the grain and bay
and the harvesting and securing of It
under most favorable conditions. Any
one who has tried to cure bay between
showers In June In the central and
eastern states will appreciate this
point Lastly, the Irrigated lands have
this vital point in their favor that
little If any of tbe original fertility of
the soil has been soaked out ana
washed out by repeated and heavy
rams. This accounts for the remark
able productivity of western soils,
Which have waited centuries for the
malc touch of water to make them
the earden snots of earth. In view of
these points and others which might
be mentioned, it is not surprising that
many an eastern farmer looks long
ingly toward the west and many an
other pulls up stakes and goes out to
tbe Irrigated sections.
ORCHARD CULTIVATION.
There is nothing which can be done
tor the young orchard which will tend
to make it more thrifty and vigorous
than to give it careful cultivation for
the first few years after it is set. xnis
result may be brought about to ad
vantage by growing some crop De-
tween tbe rows of trees, such as straw
berries, potatoes, popcorn or, better
still, beans. The frequent cultivations
given keep the ground loose ana moist
and keep tbe young trees from suffer
ing should a hot and dry spell come In
middle or late summer. If the orchard
is an old one and blue grass and weeds
have gradually worked their way In, a
good plan would be to give it a snaj-
low plowing, ao as not to injure the
surface roots, to disk frequently with
ex tens loo or reversible disk until about
the middle of July and then sow buck
wheat and oats, which will come on
and make a good winter cover crop.
Next spring, U It Is desired, the or
chard may be thoroughly disked or
plowed and sowed to clover. In Fa
olfle coast orchards, where there Is no
danger of Injury from winter freezing,

Probably thero Is no class of men
who are today buying more automo
biles than farmers, ami it may be add
ed that there is no class which can
better afford to buy them. If this
tendency keeps on it will not bo long
before farmers as u cluss, appreciating
more fully than now perhaps the ad
vantages of smooth, hard roads, will
Join hands in a definite campaign for
road Improvement. Tho reform will
come wheu both town and country
fellows got nftrr it seriously.
Tbo undeslinblllty of much land In
tho semlnrld belt of western states Is
possibly due la somo measure to the
bad reputation which such lands have
been given by meii who wished to
keep the use of largo tracts for grass
lag purposes. In some sections this
bias bas taken the extreme form of a
positive discouragement and even in
timidation of settlers who so much as
looked at these grazing preserves with
tbe Idea that they might provo useful
for agricultural purposes. At the same
time tt Is well to consider that vast
areas In the west can never be utilized
to advantago for anything but pastoral
or grazing purposes.
Every progressive farmer should be,
along with many other things, a stu
dent of the soli which It Is bis priv
ilege to work. By the aid of sugges
tions for practical Investigation which
tbe soil specialists of bis state agri
cultural college can give him be can
inform himself sufficiently so as to get
much better returns from his acres.
One soli should receive a different
physical treatment from another. One
may need tilling, another liming,
whilo still another, cropped for years,
may need re-enforcing with artificial
or bomemado fertilizers. All tbeso
conditions should be inquired Into
and measures adopted which will put
tbe soil to rights. -
Two problems which are of vital Im
portance to tbe present day farmer
and which will be oven more so in tbe
future are a conserving of the fertility
of bis land and the more economlcul
use of tbe byproducts of bis farm. Tbe
first objoct may be largely attained by
adopting somb sensible system of crop
rotation, coupled with stock raising
and dairying. The latter may be
achieved by a more economic handling
of tbe corn crop, and this Is possible
by means of tbe silo, which, apart
from the economy it makes possible,
furnishes the best possible ration for
dairy cows and feeding cattle. Many
farmers bare realized this situation
and have acted upon it Thousands
moro should realize It before time to
cut corn for tho silo next fall.
Nature has provided a delicate au
tomatic plan for the regulation of the
sotting of fruit buds In certain varie
ties of fruit trees, like the apple. It
consists in this that tbe buds for tbe
production of fruit one season are
set It at all, during tbe preceding sea
son. Thus, If the tree bas borne 1
heavy crop of fruit and bad its vitali
ty considerably taxed, the fruit buds
set sparingly, thus acting as a safe
guard against tbe tree overbearing
Itself. On tbe other band, if tbe tree
bas bad a layoff one season it usually

THE LUMINOUS HALO.
Psychlo Explanation ef an Oft Wit
nessed Phenomenon,
I was summoned one day to the Salt
petrlero In Paris to see a woman who
lay In a bed la tbe dark. Bbe was a
woman whose body, nerves, brain, had
been teased and tortured for years in
psychic and occult experiment What
montal porturbatlon was racking that
brain I did not know, and the physi
cians at hor bedside did not know.
With clinched hands and teeth and
eyes open wide the woman lay there,
fler breathing was Irregulur and not
deep. What we saw was this: A lumi
nous halo of a vague orange hue that
circled ber head, even as in tbe old
pictures of martyred saints you see
the beads mooned with faded gold. This
halo was fluctuant It came and went
It 'was a light that flickered, grew,
faded, formed Itself anew.
A miracle, this eureoled bead?
If you want to call It that Words
are not of great Importance. It was a
miracle when It glowed around tbe
head of a martyr tortured in the arena,
so tortured by pain and fear that his
dissociated psychic centers produced
the phenomenon of the exteriorization
ot luminous energy.
Perhaps It were better to call It at
once a miracle and a presclenttflo fact
a'fact that Is, Which Is occult but Is
In tbe way of becoming known.
I asked Dr. Frcre what be thought
of this miracle.
"I have often seen It," be said. Tbe
field of his experiments was the mad
houBO at Blcctro. There many neuro
pathic patients abide, and Often In
cases of severe headache or of reli
gious ecstasy be has Been those fluctu
ant aureoles around tbe bead.
"Tbe rays are often twenty centime
ters in extent quite regular, forming a
perfect aureole," be explained.

i The Plrst Eleetrlo Light.
John Holllngshead was tbe first man
to. uso electric light in London. In
1873 be Installed six arc lamps at tbe
old Gulety theater and startled tbe
Strand. Tbe price of gas shares fell
immediately. The cost of the lamps
waa (200 a week, and he ran them for
nine months. An attempt to plant one
Inside tbe theater at the foot of tbe
grand staircase wns a failure. Tbe
women objected to the fierceness of
tho light. One of them, for instance,
"pretended to be very anxious that tbe
secret of her soft complexion should
not bo discovered." Professor Eras
mus Wilson said of clectrta light at
that time, "With regard to tbe electric
light, much has been said for and
against It, but I think I may say, with
out fear of contradiction, that when
the Paris exhibition closes tbe eleetrlo
light will close with It and very little
more will be beard about it" Mr.
Holllngshead, by tbe way, bad fitted
np tbe Gaiety aa early as 1900 with
an electric searchlight which flashed
the length of the Strand. But hs soon
withdrew that for fear ot scaring tbe
horses.
To Find Your Affinity.
Your affinity Is your mato, but un
less you know the six types of happy
married folks on Olympus, up to date,
you may miss yours. Jupiter, king of
heaven, ruler of men, house and busi
ness, must marry Juno, tbe queenly
woman, plump, domestic, wise as Mi
nerva, yet loving as Venus. Venus
should mate with Apollo; but. being
fond of all men and usually pretty, a
Venus woman marries any one, often
several times. Marry and be petted
and adored she must or die. Minerva,
on tbe contrary, can be happy only
wltb a Vulcan, a man ber counterpart,
wise, lofty, patient a reformer, teach
er and philosopher. Both bava con
tempt for frivolity and meanness and
vice. Most all of tbe elderly single
women In the world, especially those
descendants from Puritan or Calvanls
tlc stock, are single Just because tbey
are tbo Minerva typo and too wise to
marry any one but Vulcena. And Vul
can men, being tbe best of tbetr sex,
are scarce. Nautili

air of politely correcting Inexcusable

Pleasant Hill Temperance Society,
The Seventy-Sixth Annual Meeting.
The seventy-sixth annual meet
ing of the Pleasant LTQI Temper
ance Society was held at Pleasant
Hill church in Southern Alamance
on Saturday July 3rd.
lhe occasion brought out a
large crowd, the weather was fine
and the best of order prevailed
throughout.
We were highly favored in hav
ing with us as orator of the day,
Mr. John A. Oates of Fayetteville,
leader of the Anti-Saloon League
forces in the recent Prohibition
campaign, who addressed the
meeting on "Pathfinders in His
tory."
Ho cited numerous characters,
past and present, both men and
women, who have led mankind
into new lands and hitherto un
known possibilities of mind and
human endeavor and expressed
the very highest regard for the
character wherever fonnd who
stands by the right regardless of
consequences. The speaker inci
dentally referred to the men and
women who organized and stood
by the Pleasant Hill Temperance
Society, who in the midst of op
position and ridicule so faithfully
advocated and practiced the prin
ciple of total abstinence and so
impressed their lives and teach
ing that there has come down to
us one unbroken chain of temper
ance sentiment, the fruit of which
remains. He closed with an
earnest exhortation to the young
people to build lives after the pat
tern of Paul's ideal, true, honest,
just, pure, of good .report, since
these alone have au inheritance
above.
Promptly at the close of the ad
dress the society went to the site
of the old meeting house in which
the first meetings of the organiza
tion were held, where a stone was
unveiled containing a bronze tab
let with the following inscription :
Erected
1909
by the
Hesitant TI1II Temperance Society
la commemoration of
its organization
I 1888
The curtain of stars and stripes
was drawn by our oldest member,
who joined the society in 1834,
and has served in every capacity
as o"1cor, and been a most loyal
member throughout, Mr. John M.
Stout, who on the tith of last
April passed his 09th milestone.
Two little girls, Violet and Jewel
Albright, great-granddaughters of
Win. Albright, one of tho lead
ing members of the society during
tbe first 25 years of its existence
laid white flowers at the foot of
the stone. Jlev. W. L, Wells,
pastor of the church, read from
Joshua, fourth chapter, and of
fered prayer, after which the
company Joined in singing the
Temperance Doxology.
Wo much regretted that our
aged friend, Mr. Jacob Garrett, a
member and active worker for
over fifty years, at whose sugges
tion the atone was erected, was
unable on account of sickness to
be present.
It is perhaps superfluous to say
in a county paper that this old
temperance society, now past
three-quarters of a century, is not
only the oldest in the county, but
also in the State, at least all
claims of priority have been re
futed thus far.
It is a matter, I feel sure, on
the part of all who feel interested
in the moral uplift of the people,
to know that we have had in our
midst in continuous service for
over 75 years this organization
which has proved to be a strong
factor for good, and many no
doubt feel a pardonable pride in
the fact that in this, aa in some
other good things, Alamance
scores another first.
Long may the old Pleasant Hill
Temperance Society live and
prosper.
