AVsRY GRAHAM BONNEE ? COrrttOHl ? VUTUH NCVtfmt VHIOM in , ? THE ?ITTLE GIRL. Mr. Wood Kif and -the boy and girl heard someone crying. They hurried along In tho deep passes between two rows of small mountains. \ Mother Gossip hurried along, toa She was hoping to find out enough to make a good gossipy story. Her Hps were curling, lt seemed, more than'ever. And her eyes looked hnrd and like sharp, bright bits of steel. At last they came nearer and nearer the crying. And there, near the roud. they saw a girl. She was not very big and was not very old, and she was crying bitterly. In front of her stood Mother Gos sip's eldest daughter naine'd I-Make-Jt A-Polnt-To-Repoat-Menn-Tlilngs. She looked Just as menu ns could be, be cause she was pretending sho was friendly and she looked so Uko a hum hug 1 And too, she looked os pleased as she could be. "Well, you foolish little girl," she was saying, "you don't know who is your friend." "What do you mean?" asked Mr. Wood Elf. "I never knew you could be a friend to anyone." "Of course Tm her friend." said I - Make - It - A - Point - To - Repeat - Mean-Things. "I told her that I had "You Wretch." beard something about her, but that I didn't believe lt, and that I stood up for her like la friend!" "Oh, you wretch," shouted Mr, Wood Elf. "If there ls one person I bato more than any other in your abomi nable and objectionable and horrible family, it ls you." "I tried to do a friendly act," an swered Mother Gossip's eldest daugh ter. "Of course she did," said Mother Gossip. "This ls very nice. And don't sob, little girl, but come, toll me all about it. Confide in nie." "Yes, you want her to tell you, so you cnn tell her story and add to lt all around. I won't lot you do that," said Mr. Wood Elf. "I'll see to that. Now, little girl, what really hap pened?" The little girl had dried her eyes. "1 met this young lady," she said, *T mean, this old lady," for Mother Gossip's eldest daughter now looked very old. She wns quite old, for that matter, and Mother Gossip's children look pretty old after they've been seen for a time. "And," continued the little girl, af ter swallowing hard so as not to start crying again, "she told me something which wasn't true about me which someone had said. And oh, I felt dreadful. She said she was telling it to me for my own good. She said she was my friend nnd that she had stood up for me. Rut oh, I'm so un happy to think such a thing was said about me." "Yes," wild Mr. Wood Elf, "of course you were, but you're going to cheer up now and we're nil going to have a moonlight supper tonight away j from this horrible fnmlly. My two | companions are tired of them already. They never were fond of such a fam ily, not even of the ones they'd met and didn't know by nnme. And as for the Tattle-Tnle Twins-well, they'd he enemies with my compan ions If they knew each other forever. "I Just have n few words to say to Miss I - Make - It - A - Point - To - Re pcat-Menn-Thlngs, and then we'll be off. "You know," he continued, pointing his finger straight at Mother Gossip's daughter, "there ls no excuse for you, not a scrap. "You thought you were making your self out to be very fine when you said you had stood up for her, and ihnt you were telling it to her for her own good. "You thought lt made you seem so noble to say you stood up for her, didn't you? I've my doubts about you standing up for her In the first pince, but that isn't the Important thing. Anyone who ls a friend will stand up for his friend or her friend without saying so. It ls quite unnecessary, quite. And no person ls a friend who repeats menu things. "I like tho person who mnkes the mean speeches even better than I do the one who repeats thom." They left then for happier adven turcs. * A Practical Idealist.

Atlanta, Ga., April.-Reports receiv ed, from fertilizer companies Indicate that ^he Southern farmer fell a good deal short of ushig as much fertilizers st planting time this year as usual. Sev eral reasons are assigned. Ono is that the farmers waited for tho price of fertilizers to fall with tho expectation of using them in greater quantities than tho usual amount as sido applica tions to tho growing cropB. It seems that the practice of side ap plication of fertilizers is quito common ly followed by successful Southern farmers. in fact, tho Williamson netb od of growing corn that is popular in tho coastal plains region of tho South, provides that nq fertilizer bo applied except as side applications to tho corn crop. On tho question of side applications of fertilizers, J. N. Harper, director of tho Soil Improvement Committee and recognized authority on agricultural methods of the South, says, that there are moro than tho usual advantages thia year in favor of aldo applications. The reason is apparently favorable to giving good response to fertilizers. A word of caution is, however, sound ed by* Mr. Harper. He says that the side applications should be made early. Late applications to cotton will only prolong tho growth of the plant and favor tho boll woevil. He says that lt will be bettor to make both the side applications of complete fertilizers and the nitrogen top dressing within six weeks after planting, where the boll vreevil is present. For corn, he states that side applica tions aro quito generally made too late to get tho best results. On clay loam or heavy soils he advises a side appli cation and nitrogen dressing when the corn ls from knee to waist high. For sandy or light Boils, he says that side applications can be made later, that 1B, when tho corn is waist to shoulder high, but before it begins to bunch to Mr. Harper says that care must be taken to use only readily available forms of fertilizer so that the growing plants can utilize them in promoting rapid growth and development of fruit. The fertilizer should contain phos phoric acid in the form of acid pho^ phaw^'frtiiB ls the main element for hastening maturity. The fertilizer mould also contain nitrogen and potash In the readily available form. Nitrogen promotes the growth of tho stalk and '.eaves and potash strengthens the plant and helps fill out the fruit. A top dressing of sulfate of ammonia or nitrate of soda is quite commonly mado, and, according to Mr. Harper, it should follow closely after the second application of fertilizer, and within the periods of cotton and corn growth which he mentions above. AVOID MISTAKES IN POISONING BOLL WEEVIL Weevils Can Be Poisoned With Profit The United States Department ol Agriculture, through its boll woevil experts, Profs. B. R. Coad and T. P, Cassidy, have issued a statement, a part of which is entitled "Where lt Will Pay You to Poison." This part ls as follows: I lt will pay to poison If the weevils aro really injuring your cropf seriously, and If your lend ls sufficiently fertiW to yield at least one-half bale per acre with weevil injury eliminated, and If your farming organization ls such that you feel assured that the poison applications will be made at the right time and in the right manner, and If you are willing to spend tho full amount nocossary to provide an adc auate supply of dusting machinery and poison. The general gains from weevil poi Boning under average, fairly favorable conditions seem to be from 200 to 40C pounds of seed cotton per aero, but, owing to variations in degree of wee vii injury lt ls not safe to expect much moro than tho lower figure. Consequently, you should not pol son if tho cost of tho calcium arse nate, the cost of labor to apply it, and the depreciation on the dusting machines will total more por acre than the current value of 100 pounds of sood cotton. ? Hand guns should bo figured as de predating 100 per cent in a season and tho larger machines about 25 per cent. Do lt Right Or Not At All Many valuable lessons have been gained from the recent exponsion of commercial weevil poisoning. It has again been shown that tho boll wee vil can bo poisoned with profit if con ditions are favorablo nnd if proper methods aro used, but it has boon em phasized anew that unfavorable condi tions and. Improper mothods can lead only to failure. A survey of tho poi soning by farmers in 1920 shows that on unfortunately largo proportion wore not properly informed as to tho condi tions under which they should poison and the methods they should pursue As a, result there were many unnecos ?ian failure?.
