Last week our County Agent, J.
O. Graham wrote about the plans
of several men in our County to
plant legume crops, skch as- sweet
clover, bur clover, etc? These men
s - are to be commended for their
good judgement because they are
following a sound system. They're
supplying their stock with some
of the best roughage feed there is
ami they're, feeding the soil at the
same time. I want particularly to
write a few brief paragraphs on
legumes and your farm soil.
The Chemists have analyzed our.
farm soils and have 1ound that
there are three plant foods in soilsa

“Yea, I saw you father,” admit-
ted Peter somewhat morosely. “His
objection was certainly original.”
Amy and Peter sat tete-a-tete at
a little tea.room in a city side street
where the"had met to talk things
over nfter Peter's call on Mr. Mel-
lon, Amy’s father, the purpose of
which was the formal request for
the hand of his daughter.
“Then he didn't say it would be
all right r" asked Amy.
"He didn't say in so many words
that I couldn’t ever marry you, but
he did say you couldn't marry me
or anyone else—I was glad he said
that—until you had shown yourself
capable of supporting yourself. I
never heard of such a thing. Never
asked me what I was earning,
though I'd have been glad enough
to show him my weekly check and
my bank book. Had them ready to
show him if he asked. But—well,
I never heard of a father naming
such an objection.” — _ -—-
“Of course it’s unusual,” excused
Amy, “but you know father has
rather advanced ideas about some
things. He thinks every woman
should be educated to earn her own
way. I suppose it is because, as
a lawyer, he has often known of
women, used to luxuries, who, when
their nusbands died or left them,
haven’t been able to do anything to
earn a living. It’s terrible to be a
dependent—especially when you’re
married—and maybe have chil-
dren."
“Well, I told him I’d planned to
take out a big life insurance. And
I’ll put my savings in government
bonds—”
”1 know, but father says that
he’s known cases where every sort
of security was swept away., The
only sort of real security, "he says.
Is knowing how to earn your own
living. And somehow I just don’t
seem to be able to do it, Peter,” said
Amy, looking across the table with
tearful eyes. "I think I must be
stupid. You know I tried nursing,
and honestly I couldn't stand 1L
And I never finished high school
so I couldn't go Into normal college
to learn to be a teacher. Then I
took a business course—but I just
can’t stand shorthand. Oh, dear,
Peter, I couldn't begin to tell you
the things lye thought of—and
tried nnd failed at. But I'll try,
Peter.”
That night Feter told his mother
of his interview with Amy's father
and his mother listened at first
with amazement and then with
amusement.- She made no comment,
however, save to say that Amy was

tests were held, both bearing wit-
J ness to the Wonderful mental train
ing and literary development gain-
ed by being a member of this
study club. Mesdames Higbee and
A. J. Isaacson were fortunate in
winning the prizes for these.
Following this fun, Mrs. Joe Wi-
son favored those present with
two piano selections—"Stacata
Etude” by Rubenstein and “Ro-
mance". Mrs. Trousdale gave the
reading “Patterns" by Amy Low-
ell and Mrs. Green closed the pro-
gram with two lovely song’s, well
chosen for the occasion—“Friend
of Mine” and "To Roses”. This
was Mrs. Green’s first appearance
in our city and we are glad to
welcome another to El Campo's
list of fie singers.
Late in the evening the guests
were invited to find their places
by appropriate rh; mes, at the
bridge table, -where the club col-
ors of purple and gold were at-
tractively carried out' in linen,
service and decorations. A most
tempting luncheon also featuring
club colors was served by Mes-
dames Roy Nordeen, Sanford and
Miss Emogene Wiley.
The program committee, com-
posed of Mesdames 0 F. Earl, Het
tie Hefner, Oberholtzer and B.
F. Wiley, is planning a very in-
teresting study course of various
subjects. Certainly such a pleas-
ant opening party will do muoh
towards renewing zest and inter-
est in the winter's work.
