MOSS' FARM, SOSO, MISSISSIPPI litis picture was taken on September 1, 1922. Recently Mr. Moss reports each.

"Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink," was the experience of the Ancient Mariner. But according to Dr. Tait Butler he wasn't the only one who has been in just such a fix, for Southern cattle have suffered almost as badly. "At one time a lot of steers under the writer's observation failed to do well. The supply of water was ample and good, but to reach it the steers must go about a quarter of a mile and the last 100 yards must wade through mud half knee-deep. In cold, damp and windy weather, it was noticed that some of them-would not go for water more than once in two days.". Page 3 Next Year's Flowers, Shrubs, and Trees. Do you know what flowers, shrubs, and trees to plant in the fall and winter? Mr. Newman insists on comparatively early setting of those plants that become dormant or inactive when cold weather comes. Setting such trees or shrubs in the late fall or early winter gives time for the plant to adjust itself before growing weather opens up in the spring Page 7 Sore Throat Danger Signal. "Oh, Mamma will never let us go anywhere with a cold or sore throat," little Mary explained to Mrs. Bartlett. "She says we might give it to someone Who would die perhaps or be very sick." But Mrs. Bartlett, with wnom Miry was staying for a few days while her mother was away, didn't understand. Luckily for Mary, she met the doctor. Now what do you suppose he told Mrs. Bartlett to do for Mary's cold? Page 10 Making Better Use of the Farm Workshop. "An ever increas ing number of farmers are doing in their own small shops the greater portion of their farm repair work," says Mr. Alford. "That a great saving of time and money can thus be accom plished, is being proved upon every farm where an outfit of, blacksmith and woodworking tools has been installed.". . Page 6 The Light in the Clearing. Now isn't this just like a boy? Have you ever felt as you know from the following that Bart felt? "I behaved myself with great care at the table I remember that and, after dinner, we played in the dooryard and the stable, I with great fear of tearing my new clothes. I stopped and cautioned her more than once: 'Be careful! For gracious sake be careful of my new suit.' " This story is chuck full of things that really happen to folks. If you haven't started it, read the synopsis and get into it with this issue Page 14 Next Week's Paper. Don't miss it. It will contain the best available information on "what, why, and how" in the home orchard. It will be an issue devoted to the need for farmers growing more and better fruits for the benefits of their own families, their health, and their pocketbooks. How to have better home orchards will be .the principal theme. if 1 1 4 ' ft t f V I r, i V. )
