I don’t quite agree in this thought about the future. We should do it today. All we have to do is to take an inventory of our schools, a look or smell at the creek on a hot day, and we know that’ we need improvements, and the name ‘“intertownship’”’ is not going to help us any in remedying these conditions or binding the areas to- @ ® ®) AE HEN A se Cancer now ranks second as a cause of death in the United States: unless something is done about it, 17,000,000 American men, women and children now That means that eight of us faces eventual death from this most dreaded of all diseases!

Tl tell you there is just no limit to the trouble a “sucker” in an apple tree can cause. They kinda have me floored and I can’t do much about it. They hung a string of weights about a yard long on the back of my neck so all the wife and nurses had to do when I got sassy was just to put their feet on those weights and that shut me off. I must say I got awfully good atten- tion in the hospital from the nurses and my wife, who spent the full six days with me (don’t know whether this was on account of all the nice nurses around or mot). Received many fine cards and callers and it’s a wonderful feeling to know that your friends are pull- ing for you in a pinch. Rev. Rein- furt and Rev. Abbott both called. They are two fine gentlemen—not fully appreciated until their ser- vices are needed. But then it's a failing of humanity that we do not fully appreciate a lot of good things in life until we are compelled to stop and mediate. I cannot personally answer al] of the cards and expressions of sym- pathy which I have received as I cannot sit up or write yet—had a fine card from Prof. Brace today with a lovely message on it, along with several others. I wonder if you would express my apprecia- tion to all these fine people until such time as I can personally do it? Came home Saturday afternoon. Never knew the ride from Kings- ton could be so long and hard. I am now at home in my own little bed and it looks as though I'll be here some time. Sincerely, Charley. Charles A. Stookey. ® (Can't think of a nicer way to express it, Charlie, than you have in your cheerful and spunky letter. —Editor. Notes On A Card Dear Editor: Went ‘South, then West, then North.

SHOP Ally IT’S EASY TO GET TO, “Barnyard Notes Bob Snyder sent his crew over from Orange this week to spray the trees in the Barnyard. High winds have kept Bob’s sprayer in- active for almost two weeks, so Nature helped us to miss the first or dormant spray. ‘Wednesday the winds settled down enough so the boys could apply the green tip spray. [That's the one that catches red bug, red mite and scales. We're sorry we missed the dormant spray. That would have finished canker worm, aphid and tent caterpillar eggs. But we should have no re- grets, there's still quite a field to conquor. (Winds willing, with the next few sprays we should be able to dispatch Frog eye, fire blight, codling moth, Brook's fruit moth, curiculio, sooty fungus and the chewing insects. But with those out of the way we're still got to worry until the crop is harvested about red bug, red mite and the tent caterpillars that slipped through our guard in the March and April winds. Frost at this time would put a merciful end to our efforts as an orchardist. We could relax for the rest of the sea- son and let the caterpillars chew on in peace. After every apple harvest we read that paragraph in the Garden Encyclopedia that goes something like this, “The home gardener with a few apple trees will find it cheap- er to buy his apples by the bushel than to go to the expense of spray- ing a sufficient number of times to obtain good fruit.” Funny we never can find that paragraph in the spring. It's always there in bold type in the fall. I thought the boys did a.thorough job with their green tip oil spray. I could sniff the oil in the air as I went home from ithe shop for din- ner. If I'd sniffed deeper, I could have foretold trouble in the offing. I didn’t and that’s how I walked into trouble in the kitchen. My mother-in-law wasn’t enthusiastic. “It certainly was a thorough job. Just look at those windows.” Well, that’s what we get for being ahead of season with the house cleaning. Two women. Eight dollars a day, and now I'l] have to wash the win- dows myself all over again. The spring winds have it in for me and Bob Snyder's men—and so has my mother-in-law. Being ahead of schedule always reminds me of the time that I went to College (Chapel punctually for eight months without missing an 8 A. M. service so I could take all my cuts in June. Other guys might skip chapel as they went along but I'd have fun in June. The col- lege abolished compulsory chapel the latter part of May. There I was free to sleep through the 8 o’clock bell and so were the other guys. It dosen’t pay to be ahead of schedule except with tent cater- pillars. There have been some pleasant things about the Barnyard this week. The calla lily that was in bloom when Howard Ide gave it to wus just before (Christmas pulled a joyful surprise Tuesday. For weeks I've been watching it as it uniolded one new leaf after an- other, wondering whether calla lilies bloom more than once a sea- son. Last week a new leaf left the parent stalk reluctantly. For several days it remained attached. Then the roses had to be uncovered. I didn’t see it for several days until Myra said one evening, “ You've got a visitor in ithe hot house.” I looked up from the book on apple sprays, ‘‘ Oh, I've seen it. You meant that red nasturtium” (We've actually got two. One's a sickly yellow). “Gee, you're a great one to run a hot house” she countered, ‘you never seen anything but the cats in the snapdragons.” I hurried down to the hot house and there it was! Howard Ide never grew a finer calla lily. The proof reader blames it on the linotype operator, and the linotype operator blames it on Floyd Harris; but when I wrote that piece for last week’s paper I said, “I could hear the peepers calling from the low spots in the empty lots (not logs) along Lehman ave- nue.”” Darned if I don't know a peeper from a tree toad. An old friend is leaving us in the Southwestern skies. Orion, the great hunter of the winter mights is giving way to Spring and Sum- mer constellations. Goodbye, old boy! It's been a grand show, and may we all be here harvesting bushels of apples when you return next fall! Set Out Cabbage Plants Steven and John Yelick are keep- ing their fingers crossed—for Sat- urday they set out 90,000 cabbage plants on the Robinson farm at West Dallas. The plants were tak- en out of the hothouse five weeks ago and oriented—and though this is” the earliest he’s ever put them out—Steve thinks they're going to make the grade. | RB
