The work of reaching the pupils
who need Lh : s training is a matter of
j ersonal interest and encouragement
as well as fnan'ia) assistance on the
part of those sponsoring the cause.
Experience has shown that the large
majority of pupils enrolled have been
reached through the sympathetic co
operation"'of some acquaintance or
employer. Organizations, public
spirited citizens and interested em
ployers have aided hundreds to at
tend the schools on scholarships. In
addition to the monetary assistance
they have found time to tell the mes
sage to those who need it, have as
sisted in making arrangements .for
the family left behind and in some
'cases bave brought the pupils to the
schools realizing that going “to col
lege” as a beginner at the age of fifty
was no easy task. Prominent mill
superintendents came with their em
ployees, some already selected for
promotion; a generous editor brought

Never was there a more grateful

“Seriousness of purpose, diligence in
effort, correctness of conduct ^have
characterized the work. The result
has been a changed butlook on life,
brightening features and broadening
visions.” Mr. B. E. Geer, President
of Judson Mill, says: “The pupils who
attend these sehool* come back not
only better workers but better citi
zens as well.” A pupil writes; “I
have worked haid all winter and have
saved fifty cents each wfcek and am
going to pay my own expenses this
year.” A pupil who has moved to

it be alflright to bring her?”

The Opportunity Schools offer to

need the encouragement of a literate

every public spirited citizen to lend
such encouragement.

Timely Farm Hints
from County Agent
* Where poisoning.of the boll weevil
has been done up to the , present
time, care should be taken to carry
on the, fight where needed.^ In manyj
oases the weevil infestation will run'
-up again and one or two more ap
plications of calcium arsenate may
be necessary. Especially is this true
where the cotton is in the younger
class, and too cultivation should be
continued.
In ‘the care of the Home Orchard,
those who have not mounded their
peach trees should do so at once.
This is done to control the boarers.
The mound is made around the base
of the tree about ten inches high
and resembles a small potato stack.
By doing this immediately the-' eggs
will be laid near the surface at the
top of the mound then when the
mound is pulled down the fii'st of No
vember the young ones can be easily-
gotten to, or killed by the winter
weather.
In many cases farmers who planted
a good acreage of com are going to
find that the dry weather that has
prevailed has damaged the cRop con
siderably and as a result many will
be short on com: In order to care
for this shortage, all farmers who
may be in this condition will make
arrangements to plant more fall oats
than usual. If good crops are to
be made of oats they should be plant
ed go well prepared land in October.
Take care of the garden where it
has’ not given out and if so make
other plantings of beans, fall pota
toes,, tomatoes, turnips, etc.—H. G.
Boylston, County Agent.
