Answers Laidler
Dear Editor:
In your April 5th issue of the
DALLAS POST you published a
letter from Clarence M., Laidler,
stating that he always enjoyed
living in this region, but dislikes
ithe name Back Mountain Region,
and in closing his letter he says
“what hardware, newspaper, church
or anything else prides itself on
being known as the Back Moun-
tain.” Well, Howard, I guess I
am a little old-fashioned, because
I really like the name “Back Moun-
tain” and am proud to tell people
that I live in that area, and if I
owned a hardware store, newspaper
or other business and wanted to
trade under a fictitious title, I cer-
tainly would not hesitate to do
business under the name “Back
Mountain.”
Laidler says the name ‘“Inter-
township Memorial Avenue of
Trees” should make us intertown-
ship minded when we begin to
think of our future schools, dis-
posal plants, water ‘systems and
many other improvements that
should come to our community. 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-

Home From Hospital
Dear Editor:
. Thanks for many kind ex-
pressions of sympathy. 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.

express it, Charlie, than you have

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.
