A Family Gathering.

ant gathering on last Sunday.

home of berson m lawand daugh
ter, Mr. and Mrs. Wm, Deavor,
for a few weeks. Last Sunday

Howard Nonemaker and family
of Cherry Grove, decided they
would take a little trip over to
Wm. Deavor's and fee mother
Mrs. Nonemaker and Mrs. Deav
or being sisters; so they tramped
iq the starter of their Chevrolet
and arrived in good time. At the
same time, John Horton and
brother-in-law and sister, Mr.
and Mrs. Howard Fleck and lit
tle daughter, Dolly all of Broad
Top City, thought it would be a
fine day for a trip down the
Country, so they turned their
car in the direction of the Deav
or home, and soon after their ar
rhal Elmer Horton and family of
Ruber tsdale, another brother ar
rived at the Deavor home. They
both have Overland cars. Neith
er family knew of the other's
plans, and were surprised, for
they all had the same intentions
But Mrs. Daavor did not get
alarmed. She was used to get
ting company unexpectedly. The
women all took charge of the
kitchen, and in a short time din
ner was announced. The table
was laden with plenty to satisfy
all appetites. Music was furnish.

Soil Erosion.
"There is a little gully washed
down through.the tield, yes two
or a dizn,but all the rest of the
field iw intact and! w'a generally
take little' notice' of 'the.'erosion
occurriug" says L, W. Lighty,
farm adviser of the Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture.
"But go and examine the field
more closely and you find hun
dreds ot very minute gullies lead
leg to the larger one and then re
al ze what has happened.
"That surface soil is the best
sc'il in the field. It is the finest,
most fertile and in the best tilth.
It is the most valuable noil in the
fluid. You cannot afford to allow
the rnnoff ram water to pick it
up and carry it out of the field.
You lose fertility and future crop
prospects besides the larger gul
lies prevent you using your farm
machinery. How can this great
loss be prevented?
"The water will run down hill
but very often we can carry it
down in a ravine where it will do
very little damage. This rem
edy may be applied on many soil
areas is an extensive hillside and
the waters cannot be diverted it
is emphatically advisable to farm
the hillside in belts of tilled soil
and sod covered soil alternately.
This breaks the force of the wa-
tees, spreads them and retains
much of the soil that would oth
erwise be lost.
"To apply this remedy we
must remove some of the useless
and expensive fences. We in
herited the "fields" from our
fathers and almost consider the
old fence rows sacred but they
propagate weeds and pest, kill
time, waste soil, and often pro
mote profanity. The best, most
practical and most profitable way
to prevent erosion and gullying
in the field in addition to the
above precautions is to keep the
soil filled with plant roots, espe
cially grass roots.
"In earlier days our soils were
not so prone to wash and gully
but we have tilled and cropped,
until the vegetable matter or fiber
of the soil is gone and nothing is
left to hold the soil particles to
gether and down the hill they go.
Here is what is bringing ruin to
tens of thousands of our acres
we mow and pasture a grass sod
until it is thin and poor then we
plow it and put it in corn, oats,
wheat twice or possibly com
twice and then repeat the sod
proposition. This depletes the
soil of fiber and brings ruin.
"To bring it back to a pioduc
live stage and stop erosi n, make
the best sod possible and plow it
as its best which is after one
sammer's mowiug, The water
cienotpushor pull that soil as
it is all tied together with fibrous
roots.
"Now grow only two or at the
utmost three crops till you put
it to sod again and repeat the
grass root binding system. You
say it is too much work or too
much sod That is purely im
aginary. It is less work and
generally less fod but very much
better as are all the other crops. "

Just now there seems to be a
life and death-struggle to, fee
which shall live as far aa the
Creamery interest! in' this f vi
cinity ate concerned Coopera
tive, or, Corporate,, power. The
Hersbey corporation says that
two creameries in this communi
ty cannot exist, and they have
sent their representatives, here
to say to the people that we are
here to offer you a nice margin
over what your cooperative
plant is pay in j. ; also saying we
are going to spend enough money
to put the co operative plant out
of business. Now that is simi
lar to the German drive icFrance
carried ou fi suppress free gov
ernment and to establish auto
cratic government among the
nations of the world.
Let me ask you: How long
willthatcorporation pay a margin
over a legitimate market price?
I answer: Just as long as it
taues to destroy competition
possibly a little longer to lot the
deceived people down in an easy
way to a basis that will soon
bring back to them all they used
to destroy the competition. Thon
you and your family can walk up
and say. "So Bossie, s !" sit
down and milk and take what
you are offered by a hoartless
corporation that does not care
thirty cents whether you have
anything to eat or not, just a
long as tbey can keep you and
your family working tor them.
How foolish! When if you wib,
you can be a stockholder in a
Cooperative Company of your
own, getting everything lhat is
coming to you churn yuM aud
all that the market will afford.
Do you think for a moment,
that any individual or company
is coming luto this community to
give you something for nothing,
or help you auy longer thfin they
can use you or thj ccmmuuity to
help themselves?
Germany persuaded Russia to
lay down thtir arms Today
Germany i usiny RussU to fur
nish the broad to carry on the
war. That is th kind of inte est
corporations have in individual
and commui ity welfare, thr
kind ttut vnltuM'o have for lambs
In proof of h-U I am sayintr, I
ask you to rt vi -wthnpast history
of the crearm.ry busitess in this
community. So, don't bo de
