From Ilound Oak.
Nearly every week for the pass¬
ed six weeks a nice cloud wnnld
make up north of Round Oak and
look ns if it was obliged to rain
all over this countv, but somehow
or other the cloud would tear in
two, one part going to the right
and the other to the left of Round
Oak, leaving us high and dry. On
last Friday however the cloud did
not tear entirely in two and we
got a good ram. I felt so good and
so glad that 'tivas all I could do
to keep from pulling off my shoes
and paddling in the mud. I want¬
ed to make dirt marbles, mud
cakes, mud chimneys, and frog
homes in the sand. It was all so
plain I felt like my pants were
rolled up, and I couldn’t help but
6 ling the mud off my hands as I
finished my job, in my mind.
Rev. T W Ellis of our town says
if the the people of this vicinity

highly pleased at the turn things
took.
Mr. W. A. Lyon, who lives near

tato to town a few' days ago
through w hich Bermuda grass had
grown. It is rather remarkable
that a thing as tender looking as
a sprig of Bermuda grass could
grow through a potato an inch
or two iu diameter. I advised Mr.
Lyon to plant his potatoes in fu¬
ture in land well mixed with up
with the needle and thread varie¬
ty of grass so it could string them
for him. He would then only
have to pull up a string of the
things instead of digging all over
the patch.
A letter came to Round Oak a
few days ago addressed to Mr.
John 0. Dam. 0-Dam, the uinn
who took it, didn’t believe for
some time ’twas fer him, but it
was.
Mrs. Lizzie Goldman, who has
for some time been living in the

came up Tuesday morniug to
spend some time with her aunt,
Mrs. F S Johnson, of Round 0 .k.
Overalls have become so popu¬
lar that Frank Johnson has had
some put on his peanut parcher.
It looks first-rate all dressed up
in lead-colored overalls with black
buttons. Come in and take a look
at the idee job Mr. Rarr made o.'
it.
On next Friday, the 21st iust.,
a picnic will be pulled off in the
Williams grove a few hundred
yards north of Round Oak. Let
all hands come and bring a bas¬
ket each, filled with something
nice to eat. The boys say there
will be music and a platform and
that all who wish can indulge
in calisthenics of the feet.
IF there are any who do not care
to take part in the aforesaid
amusement they can tell tales and
dish out verbal confectionaries to
their heart’s content.
The house for the Round Oak
Gin <fc Mill Co. is nearly complete
and all the machinery has been
placed in the house. The fur may
not fly but the Hut will pretty
soon.

Editors Jones County News:
For the benefit of tho pouch
growers of Jones county I will at¬
tempt to give a few points on the
treatment of young orchards,
which I think will be of vhlue.
Before planting out trees the
land should be prepared thorough¬
ly. That is, it should ho broken
deep and put in tho best condi¬
tion possible. Then when trees
ore put out it is of the pr latest
importance that the soil be woli
packed around the roots.
The first year oottofl may bo
planted in young orchard but tho
trees should ho cultivated every
time the cotton is ploughed. Cot,-
ton is not often ploughed after
August 1, but trees should be
ploughed and otherwise looked
after until September 15. It is
not necessary to cultivate later
than tins time. However nil grass
and weeds should bo kept out or
the growth of tree 3 will be retard¬
ed. A tree once checked in growth
will require a year to recover, and
unless the best of care is exercis¬
ed it will require even longer.
Cotton may be planted the sec-
oud year and cu'iivated the same
as first year, hut experience has
taught ine that cow peas sown
broadcast the second year is by
far a better plan. Their fertilizing
properties, consisting chiefly of
nitrogen and humus deposited in !
the soil, are of great value in the
growth of trees.
In preparing to sow peas first
plough your trees out from row
to row, harrow two or three times
to keep down all vegetation until
about June 1, then sow broadcast
three-quarters to one bushel cow
penB per aero, using Acme smooth¬
ing harrow over them so ns to
leave the land smooth and level.
This will enable you to cut the
hay at less expense, besides being
desirable for other reasons.
I am looking after farm of 500
acres on a part of which are 28,-
000 trees and the plan of cultiva¬
tion I have briefly outlined is the
one w® have adopted. Tho results
obtained fully justify mo in say-
in that this plan is the best so far
developed.
To be successful with fiuit cul-
tivation must bo thorough and
fertilization adequate and proper
from the beginning. Cotton seed
meal and acid mixed in equal pro¬
portion make a good fertilizer.
One-lift If pound to each tree
should be used the first year and
as much thereafter ns is thought
necessary, Bono meal is a good
fertilizer also, but there is nothing
better than thoroughly decom¬
posed stable manure, one shovel
full to t\ach tree. Trees should be
fertilized every year in early
spring. If this mode of cultiva¬
tion is kept up I believe success is
assured in the fruit business.
Some seem to fear overproduc¬
tion, and I will admit that there
may be a season now and then
when the crop will be abundant
and profits small. In considering
this point acreage is of little itn-
portance. The cultivation and
marketing will always prove to be
the regulators of profits. There
are now planted more than enough
trees to supply the demand for
peaches but not over 20 per cent.
are producing first-class market¬
able fruit, for lack of proper al-
tention. Thereforo it is useless
worry to think of overproduction.
Let usgetdown to business and
show the world that we can grow
as good fruit in .Jones county as
can be grown anywhere. I intend
to remain here and any thing that
is good for the people of the conn-
ty will always receive my support
to the best of my ability.
Very truly,
W. A. Lyon.
