$ Farm Notes
By A. C. MACEE
Terracing is the big work of
the County Agent at the present
time. Demands are coming from
all parts of the county and keeps
the County Agent on the jump.
In fact, he is usually dated up a
week to ten days ahead with work
The people in the Iierryhill
neighb irhood are very much in-
terested in this project. A terrac-
ing school was held at Mr. Mc-
Kcevers' farm and farmers arc
laying off the lines for themselves
and for each other.
Mr John M cGowan bought a
farm level and is doing a lot of
work for himself and his neigh-
bors.
Mr. Kd Armstrong has also
bought a level and is laying off
lines on his farm.

ROMANCE OF A WASTE BASKET
John Diller states that his hogs
still get a considerable pasture
from his sweet clover patch. A
crop that furnishes green grazing
to January I is one that deserves
attention.
Mr. Diller's clover has hail a
severe test this year but it is still
there and that is more than can
be said of a lot of crops this year.
Ir. Diller can expect a lot of
'good pasture from this crop next
year oi if he so wishes he ran

Hereford bull calves or his Jersey

A bird planted a tiney seed beside a brook, and th* sunshine and
tin rain descended upon it, and in the process of germination, it
rooted, budded and blossomed and grew into a willow tree on tha
brink ot a running stream Its body became sturdy, its limbs spread
out, and it climbed upward to meet the sun and greet the stars o'
nite time The friskey breezes played hide and seek in its green fol-
iage And .-o tin willow tree continued to grow, the birds came and
builded their nests among its branches, and the Red Man sat beneath
hade and dreamed of happy hunting grounds and planned hit
battles to lick the I'ale Face in defense of his domain—Along about
this time, niaybeso, a black boy was born away down in the South-
laud A slave he was, served a Master and waited on his Mistress-
Anil like the willow tree away out in a desert place, he too grew in
stature, and developed into a strong black man. Time a pace moved
on, and lo and behold there was strife in the land, political and
religion- fanaticism ran riot -Human slavery and property rights
was the fly in the ointment, it thundered from the pulpit, and giant*
measured -words in the political arena 'I he greatest Republic on
eaiih was staggering beneath the load—There was a brain storm on,
reason was side tracked and the booming of cannons was heard Bt
liull Run And thus, the North and the South were lined up in bat-
tb array, the flower of the young manhood of a nation was called
to arms The Hlue and the Gray, and hundreds of thousands of them
gave their lives for the principles that they thought was right—The
foundation of a nation was rocked in the cradle of war and it looked
like this Republic was staged for a fall—The nations War Chief
called for seventy five thousand volunteers, on a basis of ninety
days service to quell the Hot, but he misjudged Southern valor, tha
struggle lasted for four years, and the streams that ran down to the
.en were crimsoned with human blood—In the year 1805, the ★ar
clouds began to break away, the shackles of human slavery were
broke asunder and four million black folks were set free, but ob
god of civilization, what a costly crown stuckoed with the jewels of
freedom It was worth it tho—So in the month of April in the year'
IHCa, the two war chiefs, Grant and Lee, met under the apple tree
and signed the peace term that ended the bloody civil Mruggle,
one among the bloodiest in all history—Then back to the farm, tha
factory, forest and mines the Blue and the Gray treked, to again take
up the duties of civil life In the mean time th" willow tree grew
out in a desert place so to speak, larger and taller, and its elantic
fibre toughened that it iiiif ht serve. Bj'e me bye, over the eastern
horizon the prairie schooners loomed, again they hear the rattle of
sabres and the tramp, tramp of Uncle Sam's blue coats, coming to
fling back the frontier lines and to police the west against the dejK
n dation of the red skin and the lawlessness. A government post WM
established, then followed the blacksmith shop, post office, livery

Albert's Britches On Fire
During tile Christmas holidays up there at R.-xall Stun No. 2, Al
bert Porter was in the show case making some arrangement about
display, and some way or some bow, an electric shoil or something
else set the cotton afire in the window It was chuck full of fir
works, and they doggone sure went off, skyrockets, roinan candles
and fire crackers Hut gee, it was kinder like unto the World War.
Well, Albert made a dive and jumped out of the show window, |n>
his britches were on fire, and to say that it was hot does not oxpres.-
it It was too ilurn hot to take 'em off, and too hot to keep i
on, so around and around Albert went, but finally the fire boys got
there and turned on the water, and thus Albert's britches were saved.
Not much damage to the britches, but it sure was -training on Al-
bert while the fire lasted.

pot, sihears and
hell box But it was minus one necessary adjunct belonging to a
print shop that of a waste basket This black boy born down in
the Southland, in his new found freedom, had joined Uncle Sam'a
regular army, hence became an inmate of the government post above
mentioned, and he being a basket maker as well as a soldier, the
problem of a waste basket was solved So the black man with axe
and living tool stood at the trunk of this beautiful willow tree—And
so the axe waslald at the root of the willow tree that a print shop
might be properly equipped, as one of the important adjuncts of the
print shop is the waste basket Of course it wus sad to flay and
sacrifice the pretty willow tree, but everything on earth was rrilt^f
for service, every flower, weed and tre#—Yes, man was created ttf
servt—Y".s, the Creator planted the pine, the oak and the ash and
poplar trees that man might be housed and kept warm—And looking
ahead, the gods sent the little birdie to plant a willow tree beaidg
a brook, that a blackman might plait a waste basket for a print shop,
and so for over fifty years, this willow waste basket has done service
in the realm of journalism, and some other day, when we have th#
time, we are going to have this waste basket relate the story of itt j
service to humanity Many a spring poem, many a dream, many •
political hurang has gone to sleep in this basket—It could tell a won-
derful story Maybeso some day we will make it talk.
