Letters To
Old Man Folks
By Jim PoIIywog
MY FLOWER
You are my pretty flower.
My Illy by the spring;
My little bit of pleasure.
My love, my everything.
How can I help but love you,
Since you are what you are—
My pretty glance of heaven,
My darling morning star.
I'm happy when I'm near you,
I love to tell you so;
It thrills me. when I cheer you,
On little W'ays we go.
Dear Old Man Folks:
There are lots of things I do not
know. I reckon this is one reason I
find so much happiness in life. I
become more and more acquainted
with myself every day. and as I do,

the hills and places out yonder be
come more aiuring and there is at
ways a call—a call from ignorance
to knowledge; enough to keep any
person who is half alive, moving on
and happy. And what a wonderful
l ’•ace it is—this race we may call the
running clean away from ourselves
and the answering the calls of Truth
as best we can.
It is easier, though, to dream than
it is to make a dream come true.
Too many of us, I believe, are
caught on the fluttering wings of a
j j away wild dream, and and we before sail on thin air
away we realize
; where to. This is why e cannot trust
a dream too far and to any old
place. For WE, OURSELVES, are
too much of the dreams we dream.
But there are two kinds of them,
the good and the bad.
I love each pretty dimple.
Each jewel in your eyes;
The gold crown on your temple,
I Your castle in your skies.
Time was when people were quite
different from what they are now
Why, er, I remember a few of them
who used their own minds to think
with. But nearly all of them have
passed on. Now most of us mose
around and wait for the other fel
low' to tell us what is best to do. “It
Makes No Difference Now,” is the
song of our day. I don’t know for
sure, but I reckon our President
and his Cabinet sings it, too. ’Course
they don't sing it out loud, but . . .
but they have the spirit of it and
they ACT it. You've heard of things
being in the air. haven't you? It's
nothing save a Dream sailing and
on thin air. ’Cause a time is com
ing w’hen it will make a difference
now. That time will come when so
many of us wake to find we have
dreamed the wrong dream.
Over in Europe a certain Hitler
has dreamed strange dreams, and
we now reckon he won’t wake up
.till he has proven to himself that
he has slept too hard and dreamed
too much. Dreams are no good un
less good, sound thinking builds
them. They fall to pieces like would
an over-baked peanut—in the rain.
Hitler w'ill go that way. One little
Right can battle to death a million
Wrongs. But Hitler is a sort of god,
ain’t he?—One of the sort that nev
er has been and never will be! He
doesn't even believe this. But there
is a place for him. His hair-under
the-nase will be long remembered,
and he'll scrape ’em off too, when
he is exiled. Watch if he don't.
Yours very truly,
JIM POLLYWOG, Esq.

R. I,. CORNWELL
This is a good time of year to
check the quail population. A farm
er who notices his game can locate
practically every bird on his farm
After the birds pair off they can be
found every day in the same local
ity. You can tell by their actions
when the hen is on the nest and the
young birds are easy to find when
they hatch but it is almost imposs
ible to count them. A baby quail is
almost invisible in cover unless he is
moving.
The county Agricultural Agents
have complete records on every farm
in the county. The ariei maps used
in measuring land show every for
est, field and piece of cover. If a
plan could be perfected whereby the
farmers could enter an estimate of
the quail and other game on his
farm on his crop control work sheet
an invaluable record could be com
piled. It would be impossible to
count each bird but if the records
were kept each year any increase or
decrease would be known. In this
way a study could be made of the
causes for any decrease or increase
that would be very valuable in game
conservation. A study of this kind
would show the type country most
suited to game; it would show the
effect of an excess of predators such
as the fox on game birds. The mys
tery of the cycles in wild life abund
ance that has puzzled naturalists
for years might be explained and
many other conservation problems
could be corrected if a reliable cen
sus could be kept on wild life. Peo
ple are beginning to realize that
wild life crops are a valuable part
of the farm's resources and the
County Agents are always willing to
cooperate so there is no reason why
a plan of this type cannot be put in
to effect.
Each week an encampment of
Future Farmers will visit their camp
on Jackson Lake. As part of their
schooling a member of the Division
of Wild Life will teach ft class each
Tuesday night on wild life conser
vation. These boys will be the and
owners of tomorrow and lessons they
learn will never be forgotten. No
boy who wins a ribbon with his pure
bred calf will ever be contented with
scrub stock and no boy who has
learned to appreciate and love wild
life will ever be a game poacher.
Last week six boys were arrested
for trapping fish within sight of a
highway bridge. If these boys had
been taught to respect the game
laws they would never have so
boldly have violated them. Seven
teen arrests were made in this area
for game law violations last week.
This is too many and reflects on
the people in this section. Some of
the violators were from distant sec
tions and the people should ask
their grand jury men to investigate
every report of violations.
It was another big Fourth of July
w’eek-end on Jackson Lake.
Sunday boat races brought a big
crowd to the lake and every camp
■was filled with visitors during the
holidays. Additional crowds visit
ed .Indian Springs,, Camp Rutledge,
Eagle Rock park and other recrea
tional centers in this part of the
State. People like to get away from
the cities now and then and enjoy
hunting, fishing, boating, camping
and many other out-door sports. A
big time can be had on an outing if
a few simple rules are observed. Af
fer seeing campers get into trouble
for a long time a few don'ts might
be suggested:
Don't fish or camp without per
mission. You can generally get per
mission if you ask for it.
Don't use shoddy boats. Drowning
tragedies are much too common.
Don't swim alone or without a
boat.
Don't, forget your land mark* and
extra fuel. Irregular shore lines
make a long walk when you have to
hoof It in.
Don't fail to put the camp fire
out.
Don't get sunburned Sunburn has
ruined ten thousand camping trips.
Don’t mix liquor and boat fuel.
Don’t shoot at tvater targets.
There may be someone on the other
side of the lake.
Don’t chase the ducks with your
boat.
Don’t ride with a fish trapper.
You may get locked up with him.
Don't forget your fishing license.

The third year the stand is very

ihe stand of lespedeza is materially
reduced where nitrate of soda and
other nitrogen top dressers are ap

grain. Lespedeza responds very
readily to lime and phosphates but
does not relish phosphates. This is
as it should be since lespedeza is a
