In ia re Among the By Clifford V. Gregory :Ooo CHAPTER III. HE girls eagerly read over the books and bulletins Mr. rear son had lent tliem, and cov er crops, cultivation and bor deaux mixture were their chief topics of conversation. As soon as the ground was in shape In the spring they plowed it and harrowwl it until It was reduced to a fairly fine condi tion, djjrtainly better than anything it had known since It was first set out The trees blossomed freely, and the orchard with Its waving sea of pink flowers was' an Inspiration to the girls, for It held the promIse of a bountiful harvest to come. As soon as the blos soms closed the girls set to work to spray the trees. They were hard at work one day mixing a barrel of bor deaux mixture when they were star tled by the sound of an automobile coming up the driveway. "It's Harold and Beth!" cried Mabel. "Oh, what'll we do?" She looked down at her spattered dress In dismay. "You might dive Into the barrel," said Gladys ironically as she poured in another pail of water.' "I'm not afraid of the Du Vals even if they have got an automobile." The car was close upon them by this time. Harold brought It to a stop with a jerk and leaped lightly to the ground v He lifted bis hat as he ad vanced toward the girls and held out his hand. If he. was in any way sur prised at their appearance or occupa tion a slight lifting of tbe eyebrows was the only manifestation of it. Harold, DO Val prided himself upon his ability to maintain his composure under the most trying circumstances. . Mabel's face was red as she returned his greeting,, and she hurried over to the car to hide her confusion. Beth greeted her effusively. "I'm so glad to,see you!" she cried." "We were out trying our new car, and I made Harry come around this way. We hardly ever see you any more since you left school." . we we don't get to town very of ten," replied Mabel, who bad not yet quite recovered from her confusion. aVever mind your dress," said Beth, quickly guessing the cause of her embarrassment "I wish I lived In the country and could wear old clothes. But what in the world are yon doing, anyway?" The same question had evidently just occurred to Harold. "Just mixing up will for the pigs, are your he Inquir ed in his most polite accents, Indicat ing the- barrel with sweep of his hand.' Gladys laughed outright "I'm afraid the pigs would be rather blue after a dose of that," she replied. Well, what Is It, then?" persisted Harold. "If s bordeaux mixture, if you must know. We re going to spray the ap ple trees to kill the bugs." "Hather hard on the bugs, I should ay," Harold remarked as he leaned over to brush a speck of dust from one sn HaAMcnuuiKr at of bis tan oxfords.

Mabel made up a little face at hlra as she turned toward the bouse. "If you're going to talk like that I won't go," she called back over her shoulder. In a few moments they reappeared, looking as fresh and dainty as though they had never held a spray nozzle or a plow handle. By skillful maneuver ing Harold relegated Beth and Mitbel to the back seat and helped Gladys up In front "Now for a spin!" he cried as he seated himself beside her and pulled back the starting lever. The machine bounded forward. Gladys clung to the seat, her eyes shining with tbe exhil aration of the swift motion. "Isn't it glorlou?" Harold cried as he increased tbe speed to a still faster gait Mile after mile was quickly covered by the tireless machine and they were almost to town when Harold finally turned around and started back at a somewhat slower pace. "We went so fast that I was almost lost," confessed Mabel. "That's Pear son's Just ahead, isn't It?" Gladys : nodded. "And there's Jeff over in the field plowing." she said. She leaned out and waved ber hand kerchief at him. He waved his Whip in dazed surprise and stood watching the automobile un til it was out of sight He paid so lit tle attention to bis plowing tbe rest of the afternoon that the patient horses turned to look inquiringly at htm now and then as if to ask what tbe matter was. But Jeff was thinking, and bis train of thought though lv no tnesns comparable In speed t'.'fK fast: malt, had afrthe ponderous inei-thi of a dou ble beaded time freight. By" tbe time be had flulshed milking be had come to a conclusion. "I'm go ing to do It," be said half nloud,. slap ping his knee. "I'll beat that stuck up Du Val yet." And he went Into tbe house and wrote to an automobile company for prices. But If Jeff had known the trend of the conversation In the touring car he might have been better satisfied with everything In general and, with one or two things in particular. a . "Who Is that fellow V Inquired Har old as they passed Jeff. "That s Jeff Pearson; one of my best friends," promptly replied Gladys. "So you like plowboys,' do jonV Harold asked, with a quizzical smile. "I like any one who- has ambition enough to do something," Gladys re turned. "Did you ever do any work in your life?" Aimin Harold smiled that exasperat ing smile, though it was a trifle less self confident this time, "wnars tne use?" he inquired. "Father's got plenty of money." "If I were a boy," the cold contempt in Gladys voice Jarred Harold out of his accustomed self ' assurance, Td be ashamed to have no ambition but to spend my father's money. Ton don't have to work for a living, but the very fact that yon don't makes it possible for you to accomplish much greater things." "I don't think you're hardly fair," Harold answered. "111 probably set tle down and go to work at something after awhile." "Probably r cried Gladys. "What are yon going to do?" "Oh, I don't know," be replied. "I suppose father will find me " some thing." "That's It father, father, an the lime. Why dont you learn to de pend on yourself little? Why don't you go to college end learn something and then etart out for yourself and do something?" . Harold gave tbe lever vlrloue Jerk by way of reply. nd neither of tbem aid anything more until they reached borne. " "Thank yon ever so much for tne ride," said Mabel aa she stood Wntog on the gate. -Thank you ever ao much for go ing," replied Harold. "And yoo. too," be added, turning to Gladys. "And tbe lecture I'm afraid thanks won't pay for that" Indeed they wont," she answered. Tbe only thing that wOl pay for that at to see it hare some effect, sod I guess there lent iwtl nope os "Thank yon anyway.

"Yes; do go, papa," spokeup Gladys. "I'd like to try my baud at running this farm awhile." Mr. Sanders smiled. "Running quarter section is a bigger proposition than running an acre," he said. "But I guess you'll have to try it for a few days." Mabol was .picking up some wind falls one hot afternoon a couple of days after ber father left to take care of bis brother when a well dressed stranger drove up to the fence and called to her. "A fine crop of apples you have here," he remarked as the approached, "a little the finest of any I've seen yet I understand that you and your sister are the best apple growers - In the neighborhood." Mabel-flushed with pleasure. "I don't know who could have told you that," she said. "This is the first crop ot ap ples we have ever raised." "I didn't need to be told. The or chard speaks for Itself. You haven't sold them yet, have you?" be added. "Sold them V said Mabel inquiringly. "Why, they won't be ready to sell for a month yet." "You mean they won't be ready Jo pick for a month yet," corrected the stranger. "There's nothing to prevent your selling them now, Is there?" ; "N-no, I suppose not, only it seems queer to sell apples a month before they're ripe." ... "Not at all. , IOts of business is done that way. I'll tell you what I'll do," he went on. "You have a fine lot of apples here, and If youll agree to let me have all fbat you have to sell I'll see that you get $1JS0 a barrel for them." 8 "A dollar and a half a barrel Isnt much for apples, Is It?" said Mabel doubtfully. "It is when they are as plenty as they are this year. Why, I'll bet there'll be 10,000 barrels In this coun ty alone." MWell,Nffald Mabel, "I'll ask father about it whenjie comes home." - "But I cant wait" objected tbe man. "By the time your father gets home 111 have contracted for all the applea I can use and you'll have to sell yours for a dollar a barrel or less. Just figure a moment. Here's at least fifty trees" "Thirty," corrected Mabel. "Well, thirty, then. There'll be about ten barrels to tbe tree, or $15 worth. That will be S430 from tbe whole orchard. Not bad, eh?" Mabel opened ber eyes In astonish ment "Four hundred and fifty- dol lars!" she cried. "I'll"- "Ob. no, you won't not till you tell me about it" said a voice behind her, and she turned to see Gladys standing beside the half filled apple basket Her face was stern. - "Tell her about It" aald Mabel, turn ing to tbe stranger, and tfe once more explained bis proposition. - Gladys smiled quizzically. "Then you'll give us $450 for our apple crop?" she said inquiringly. "Well, not exactly, but I'll agree to give you $1.50 a barrel for all you de-1 mrfu, m a coin jat ttvar to mo In good condition.

"We haven't been to at plculc this year. I'm going to do my hair up on top of my head. Shall we wear our white dresses or our blue skirts J"- "I think you'd better we ir your blue skirt," said Gladys Judicially. "White dresses are such a botber to du up. I'm not going." "Not going!" cried Mabel, stsrlng at her blankly. "Why not?'' "I promised papa to do the chores and look after things.". -"Well, so did I. But we can get some one to milk for us at night can't WO?" ' ''' !. 'i: Gladys shook her bead. "I don't care about going anyway," she. said, and Mabel knew" it - waa no use to coax her. - ' ' ' Harold and Beth came ont after tbe gtrls the morning of the picnic. "Gladys isnt going," explained Ma bel as she banded-her lunch basket to Harold and ellmbed up beside Beth. "Where Is she?" asked Harold. "Let me see If I can't induce her royal high ness to change her mind.". - ' ' But Gladys was down in tbe back pasture salting the sheep and refused to be found, so' the others were forced ' to start off without her, much to Har old's dissatisfaction. ----- Mr. Sanders had Just started bis fall plowing when be was called" away, and be bad Intended to finish it when he eame back. But to Gladys the long tnbble field with its one narrow streak of turned earth was a chal lenge, and ever since her father had left she bad been longing to try her hand at the plow. " " 80 today, after Mabel waa safely oat of the way and her mother to busily engaged with ber Saturday's baking to notice what was happening outside, Gladys hitched the' three horse team to tbe sulky plow and etarted out te the field. One of the three, a colt which Mr. Sanders was breaking for one of tbe neighbors, was a little skit tish at first but after , a few eounda he settled down and pulled quietly along with the older team. Everything went well, and Gladys was enjoying herself lmtnensely. Then all at once, as they were coming down the east side of tbe field, the point of tbe plow unearthed a 1 bumblebees' nest . With an angry "slpptT .' one of tbe enraged Insects shot pest Gladys' ear and planted Us sharp at log be tween a couple of tbe colt's ribs.' lie lashed back vlcioosly with both hind feet and started to run. ' At the same, Instant two or three of the bee began to Jab the older boreee. and the whole team started on-a tnadl run serosa the field, followed by a doe en of the outraged bisects. As aoon at they turned so ss to bring the fur row wheel up On tbe? riVjijgrouDd the plow cut only a thin silrereiM enottga to retard the apeed f the frightened team. Tbe colt's first kick bad Jerked the line from Gladys bands; and -now ahe dung helplessly to the-eeat while tbe plow bounced up and down aa It wad Jerked along over tbe rough ground. -- . In a moment mora tbe boras had reached the road that led to the bouse and with a Quick tarn that almost up set the plow headed toward home.

The most urgent heed of south ern agriculture is the enrichment of the soil. To improve southern soils the principal additions need ed are vetretabie matter aai ni trogen. Crimson clover adds both these to the soil on which it grows ; in fact, this method of improving the soil, by the growing of crim son clover, is the most generally practicable method that can be put into immediate effect by south ern farmers. This plant is not being grown as extensively as It should be," bnt its culture is rapidly extend ing. ' It is ah annual, making its growth between September and May; and, like all other soil-improving legumes, it is able, when properly grown, to take nitrogen from the air and add it to the soil. It possesses decided advantrges of covering and protecting the soil from washing and leaching during the winter and of furnish ing a green manure for spring crops or a succulent and nutri tious feed at a time when such feed is likely to be scarce. ' It al so makes good hay If cut when just coming into full bloom; but ft should never be fed after the crop has ceased flowering. The straw of crimson clover raised and threshed as a seed crop should never be, used co feed stock, as the 'hairs in the ripe flowering heads become stiff and, when fed to horses and ' cattle, form hair balls in their stomachs and in testines. " ' 'The yield of cotton, sweet pota toes, sorghum, corn,' potatoes, and other crops -folloWing he plow-j lug-under .of crimson'7 clover is much : greater than' where such fertilising is not practiced. BOIlf AND I50CTJLATI0N. Crimson' clover" is suited to a largo range of soils and will grow ell all over the State of North Carolina. ' It Is very ' hardy and thrives on soil too- sandy for any other species of clover. Iji also grows welT on loams, ' clays, and hnmus soils. Acid soils should b Inoculation is essential to sno- eesfl 111 growing 'crimson ' clover This' is best accomplished by sow ing with the seed three or four bushels to an acre of soil from a field where crimson clover, white closer, or red eiover has rv-eri ly grown successfully. If there is an abundance of soil, , it is only necessary' to apply it immediately after' seeding and harrow In. Always cover the inoculating soil promptly.' " ' If there is only a limited amount of soil, inoculation may be Accomplished by the following method: Fill a pail three-fourths full of inoculating soil, fill to the top with water, stir thoroughly, allow to settle, then pour off and use a pint of the clear water to a bushel of seed. . Pour the seed on a clean floor and mix the water thoroughly with It If no inocu lating soil is available, cultures may be secured from the United States Department of Agriculture or from commercial dealers. TDK TO BOW AXD AMOCHT OF SEED TO TJSE. If crimson eiover is sown too early, the hot weather sometimes kills the sprouting seeds and the young plants; bnt if the sowing Is delayed too late, the stand is sometime injured becana the plants do not get good start be fore the) eold 'of winter. -Seed BhobU'tM-flewar 1 tha Coastal Rein'Rectoo from the middle of September to tbe mlddla of Octo ber, la tbe Piedmont Region frost. Um first of September to the mid dle of October, ia the Mountain Btwiom from' tbe first of August to tbe first of September. It may he sown to good advan tage can Uad where eowpeas hare been harTeetexI, ia eottoa after the first picking, la eora and sina flar crop, also in the stubble of grain fields, and ia any land lay ing out. If the land is overrun with weeds it wDlbe aeceaairy to plow it before planting the eiover in order to ret a good stand.' It is well to sow the seed while th soil is moist from recent rain. ' ' Trora twelve to twenty pounds of eleaaed seed should be planted to tbe aer: iTteesi peyrhap girea the best results. Forty pounds of seed la the itwgh is equivalent to fifteen pounds of cleaned seed. GOOD sTXD DfPOBTAirr. Good seed mast be planted if a good stand is to be secured. .The seed deteriorates rapidly with age, and consequently fresh seed only should be used. Thefresh seed is highly polished and reddish in color, while, the old.seed is dull and of a reddish brown color. Dark soed hould not be pur chased, as it is too old to grow. All -the European countries, with the exesption of Spain and Turkey, haveseed-terting stations varying in number from one in Italy to twenty-eight in Germany. Through the work of these sta tions the people have come to ap preciate the importance of good seed, and as the greater part of that now used in Europe is sold on the basis of accurase tests for purity and germination the sale of low-grade seed has been great ly reduced. A similar condition exists in Canada, where there is a strict law governing the quality of seed sold. At present there are no Federal restrictions on the impor tation of low-grade and worthless seed. As a result, the United States has become the dumping ground for the poor seed of Cana da and Europe. - The stocks of crimson clover are about exhausted all over the country. Seed dealers say that they have never known a season when stocks have been- so nearly exhausted as they have beend tir ing the past year, so tiiat almost the entire supply of home grown seed will be the crop of 1910; bnt there will be nothing like enough to supply the market and there will be a large importation. This imported seed may be good, but it very likely will not be; and to guard against loss of money from poor seed, and the still greater loss in the failure to obtain a crop, and the probable introduction of serious' weed pests on the land, only good seed should be pur chased. ' ' The usual price of crimson clover is from $3 to 14 a bushel of sixty ' pounds, but, due to the scarcity, the quotations now are from 18 to $9.60 a bushel. This however, should not keep farmers om planting crimson clover- only make them more carefu- to secure good seed. . ' Tba$ there is a great difference in the quality of seed sold in tbe State is shown by, -the analysis made at the North Carolina De partment of Agriculture.
