After the meeting and feasting not mucjfi time was left for games, but when we get together for our meetings we put business first, then we have our little fun in the time that is left. I have a little piece I think is worthy to be print ed about women. Women are queer things no doubt about that, They hate to be thin and they hate to be fat. One moment its laughter the next its cry And you can’t understand them however you try But there is one thing that ev erybody knows A woman is not dressed until she powders her' nose. I’ve studied the sex for a number of years I’ve seen them in laughter and I’ve seen them in tears, Oh, her ways and her whims I’ve pondered a ot. To learn what would please her and what would not. But all I’ve learned from the start to the close. Is sooner or later she will powder her nose. At church or a ball game, at dance or a show'. # There is one thing about them, all that I know At wedding cr funerals or din ners or state, And every few minutes she will stick up a pose. And the whole world will wait till she powders her nose. Won’t take up any more space at this time. I feel sure everyone present enjoyed the meeting to the 'fullest extent. Our aim is to press onward till we’ve reached the goal. The President. X Get Seed Now For Fall Crops Every farmer of the county should make arrangements now fo? his seed for fall crops. The prices of hairy vetch and Austrian pea arc lower at the present time thar they have been for several years and the price of oats, barly, wheat md clovers are reasonable now, our will be higher later. County Agent Thos. W. Morgar announces thaj; he has placed r co-operative order for hairy vetch and Austrian peas, to arrive at Mc Cormick around September 15. Th* vetch will be worth around 10 1-2 or 11 cents per pound, and the pea- around 7- 1-2 or 3 cents. Order for oats and other grains are being placed daily, and some orders for crimson and bur clover are coming in. McCormick county will probably plant the largest crop of oats this fall that has been planted here in many years. Other crops should be in proportion, for feed nrices are going high before another spring rolls around. The county agent advises all far mers to get in touch with him re- The ancestor of the domestic breeds of ducks is believed to have been the wild mallard. A letter from Mr. Sidney H. Fad- ley of Madison, Va., states: “In Madison county there is very little roughage to be had at any price. Corn crop is less than 50 per cent and cattle can be bought at prices less than half of what they usual ly bring.” A letter of Mr. D. T. Painters, county agent of Grayson county. Independence, Va., states: “That 500 to 700 pound steers -nay be bought from four to 6.5 cents per pound and that heifers can be* bought from four to 5.5 per pound.”’ In Tennessee the drought was not so severe, but letters have been* received from the following county agents stating that there are quite* a number of cattle for sale in their respective counties: Mr. C. L. Cleland, Union City;. Tennessee. Mr. F. G. Vickers, Maryville, Ten nessee. Mr. C. H. Williams, White Bluff,’ Tennessee. A letter from Mr. B. F. Creech, beef cattle specialist of West Vir ginia, states that they have had exceedingly dry weather but that cattle were not being sold at a very great sacrifice. These, and other letters, seem to indicate that Vir ginia is probably the best place to buy cheap cattle. Those interested in purchasing cattle for beef pur poses should do so immediately for cattle are now being picked over. Otis Bowen To Represent South C.
