gave an interesting talk on fruit
drinks.
Hostesses, Misses Eva and Alma
Young, had planned ice tea, cake,
cinnamon cookies and watermel
ons. The demonstration was added
to the tea and turned into delici
ous punch. All seemed to enjoy
it. Several visitors were present,
whom we always welcome at our
meetings. Hope they will join us
soon.
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.

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.
