Antonio, Tex. —(UP)— Be cause camels could not be shod a grand idea of Jefferson Davis to solve the transportation problem across the vast deserts of Texas, Arizona and New Mexlrto failed. Old documents unearthed here revealed in 1856, Davis, then Sec retary of War, imported 72 camels into Texas for use in transporting cargo over the lonely wastes of the west. Only lowly burros were used as beasts of burden in the desert and it appeared that the camel, which is a much faster animal, would solve the problem. , The camel did — during the rainy season. But after several weeks of work during the arid summer weather the camels, their feet tom to shreds by the small flint rocks, fell to their knees. These small rocks, it seems, were peculiar to American des erts. As the camels could not be shod they were useless The entire consignment was pensioned on a grassy reserve in Arizona, but it was believed most of them were killed by Indians who were frightened at the lum bering animals as they raced about. Paging Hans Andersen. New York Wall Street Journal. While Hans Andersen's fairly tales for children have gained well-de served approbation throughout the world, apparently the Danish writ er’s stories will be forced into the background when some of the more adult myths floating out of the Senate agriculture committee hear ing on the Federal Farm board’s op ) orations gain the appreciation they deserve. 1'IUIU UIU2 Vi I S. Milnor, head of the Grain Sta bilization corporation, farm board subsidiary: Since July, the Grain Stabilization corporation, has sold 105.312.665 bushels and has brought 10,484,181 bushels of new crop wheat and 27,348.000 bushels for fu ture delivery. This leaves a net sale in four months of 67,480 384 bush els. of which 47,600,000 bushels was to foreign buyers and 19,980 384 to domestic buyers. Excluding wheat sold or traded to China and Brazil (40,000,000 bushels) on which no price has been set, the corporation received an average of 64.7 cents a bushel, Mr. Milnor told investigat ing senators. In other words, the board sold exactly 7,500.000 bushels on the export markets (the identi cal figure of the German wheat transcation) and 19,980.384 to do mestic buyers, some of which may or may riot have eventually been shipped for export. Inasmuch as be tween June 30 mid November 27, December wheat at Chicago sold at or over the 64.7 cents average fig ure mentioned by Mr. Milnor only on the days between November 4 and 10 and December wheat closed at only 501* cents on September 11 (the date of the German transac tion) such an average price can apparently have been reached onlv by forcing northwest millers to pav a very sharp premium for the board’s surplus durum wheat sup plies, the crop in that territory this year being the shortest in modern agricultural history. If Mr. Mllnor’s testimony on the average price is to be assumed to be correct, critics of the board may well refer to their dictionaries for the definition of the term "farm re lief,” for which purpose the govern ment agency was formed. Moreover, (he Grain Stabilization corporation head’s statement is a tacit admis sion of the utter lack of business acumen of such apparently previ ously shrewd mill buyers as Pills bury and General Mills, to mention only two. Not only do the larger mills usually keep stocked well PRISONER VS. PRISONER Seattle, Wash.—Attendants at a garage here had E. W. Nelson ar- j rested because he was sleeping in a parked car. James F.

He was called to the witness stand, however, and tes tified against Nelson. The latter was asked to leave town.

Moreover, while recent Min neapolis advices have reported con siderable winter wheat moving north, dispatches from that city have been singularly reticent in mentioning any large sales of Farm Eoard durum grades. Collaborators apparently are not useful in concocting adult myths, as they lead to discrepancies. Chair man Stone placed the Grain Stabil ization corporations paper losses at $102,000,000. That figure remained official for all of two days. Mr Milnor, who should know, placed it af $110,000,000. Perhaps, if the Sen ate could summon the spirit of the late Hans Andersen to the stand, he could tell Messers. Stone and Milnor whether his most successful narratives were fashioned with the aid of a collaborator. I'M OFF*OF BLUE.

Columbus, Ohio, — Sherman Ed wards discovered that a bag con taining $100 left in his store was missing. As all the doors and win dows were intact, Edwards suspect ed an "inside job.” In searching for further clues, he found positive evi story to tell. Recently, while fishing off Egmont Key, Lee hooked a 10 pound grouper. He hurriedly reeled in the fish and got to the top of ihe water alongside his boat. Just as he was about to land it, a huge jewfish broke water, gulped the grouper Lee had caught, broke the rod. reel and line, and made away with Lee's fish.

When the door of the closet is closed, this extra layer will keep out dust. BEAUTIFY HOME GROUNDS In planting for beauty, combined with durability, perennials should be chosen in preference to the an nuals. Perennials are the plants which live from year to year In the garden, most of them increasing in size of clump and amount of bloom. To call a flower “old fashioned" is to honor it, for that shows it has stood the test of time. Whole books have been written about per ennials; their location, arrangement, ■ and color schemes. Many of these books seem so complicated that they almost discourage a beginner. But one forgets to question location and arrangement in the beauty and fragrance. They are most effective j in front of shrub plantings, for the colors show especially well j against a green background. The rule for arrangement is simple— try to keep tall growing plants to the rear of the border, gradually decreasing in height to dwarfs in front, so that every plant can be ; seen. Color arrangements have been causing much discussion. Tastes dif fer, but if the color scheme is pleasing to the owner of the flow ers, It will not be far wrong. If a riot of color is wanted, try it; if any clash unpleasantly they can be shifted about to more suitable loca tions. Several plants of a kind to make a large splash of color are i more effective than a s'malT dot of color from ope or two plants. But most of vfe have to begin with one • 5t Vivo plants of a kind, or with seed, and while waiting for them to increase to amounts to permit mass planting, one can be on the alert for pleasing combinations. Soil that will produce vegetables will raise perennials. If the soil is heavy clay, it should be spaded deeply and some sand and well rooted manure spaded into it. If it is too loose and sandy, spade in some manure and some heavier soil- Since perennials remain in one location for a long time they welcome additions of plant food. The best is well rotted manure. Cultivation is very necessary, for the plants cannot do their best when in competition with weeds and one cannot enjoy flowers that are surrounded by weeds. Continu ous bloom may be had in the perennial border, but not in the en tire border, for the whole season with careful selection of plants. kfomr nlento an^h a a HHontol poppy, will become dormant during the late summer, leaving an empty place in the border. These places can be filled with a favorite an nual. Last year, says a farmer’s wife, I used scarlet zinnias as fill era but found them too tall and erect for my purpose, and this year I plan to try the more spreading gray-green African daisy, which has white flowers and will fit into any color combination. I 1 am going to list a few of the perennials which may be depended upon for bloom In each part of the season. The earliest spring blooms are from the fall planted bulbs, and include cro cus, scillas, hyacinths, narcissus, Jonquils, and tulips. These are especially effective when planted in masses, and as they leave a bare place during the summer, some an nual filler should be provided. Most of! the early April bloom Is on dwarf plants, one of the best of which Is phlox subulata, or moss pink. It is a sheet of color either white, pink or lavender. Its leaves are almost evergreen, and it likes a sunny, well drained spot. Alyssum saxatile is also a creeper, with cloth of gold bloom- It is rather hard to transplant and It is well to plant seed of It where the plants are to remain. It Is a splendid rock gar den subject. Everyone knows lily* of-the-valley with its fragrant white bells. It enjoys cool shade and mul tiplies rapidly. The Pumlla, or dwarf Iris, In purples, yellow, or sky blue grows about 8 inches high. They are very hardy, give a wealth of bloom, and increase rapidly. They make neat edgings. The pur ple one Is lovely massed In front of golden narcissus. The various vio lets begin to bloom in April, and are a welcome addition to any garden and for cut flowers. They are very hardy and increase rapidly by self seeding. The native timber phlox, blue, is of easiest culture, and every one should have some in the bor der. It combines beautifully with pink tulips. It Is so fragrant and such a good cut flower. It is a good ground cover for lily beds The fern leaf bleeding heart begins blooming in late April and continues through out most of the summer. It resem bles the wild Dutchman’s breeches. It grows about 12 inches high and Is fine in the rock garden. - ♦ ♦ FARM LIFT Comparing the different methods employed by fanners In handling their holdings a field man of the dairy extension service says: Re cently we visited a dairy farmer who owns 80 acres of land and does all his own work. We arrived at his farm just as he was getting ready to milk. The usual eight-gal lon milk can stood la the middle of the driveway covered with a clean piece of white cloth- The bam was neat, well lighted, ventilated— a real cow home. The cows, calves, and young stock showed indication of good care. They were not only well fed but they were kept clean. The man and his wife both milked and they took pride In their work. We couldn't help but reflect upon their life and compare It with those who live In the big cities where there Is a rush from early morning until late at night to eke out a living. These people did not answer to the whistle. They did not have to make a certain train in order to be at work on time. They did not take orders from the boss. They were not afraid of losing their Job and being forced to get their living from the soup kitchens; nor were they afraid of being ejected from their own homes. They were masters of their own destiny. They LEGUME HAT DEFINED Legumes are commonly thought of as those pod bearing plants whose roots may act as the hosts of nodule jlrodi Icing bacteria which have the power of fixing atmos pheric nitrogen contained in the soil, so that upon death and decay these bacteria leave this nitrogen In such form that It may be used for plant growth. The increased corn .veilda following alfalfa are largely the result of there being a greater supply of available nitrogen in the sou due to the nitrogen fixing bac teria which grew on the roots of the legume. Common field legumes are: alfalfa, beans, medic, beggar weed, berseem, clover, lespdeza, lu Pi&e, pea, melllotus, sainfoin, pea determined the time they went to work and when they quit They had a feeling of security, n satis faction of ownership, the pi ''If of directing their own affau- Their life was ideal.because they wne do ing something that they liked to da They liad opportunity to Improve the production of ti»eir tic. ft, a challenge to make their pi n s yield more, all of which contt ibules to contentment and happlnt •; As we visited with these pi epic ami got their attitude, we wished that, ev ery farmer was so situated and had the same conception ot ids job. Those people seemed to compri hend that they were better off than most people in the city working at what they call good wages. Their lid was no comparison to the man out of work. While the prices ot dairy products are not ns good as we would like to see them, it must be remembered that no Industry at present is enjoying the prosperity that is satisfactory to its owner, W{e must remember, loo, that million* of people are out of emptoymenty dependent upon the good will of their neighbors to supply them with food, raiment, apd shelter. When we compare their conditions with this farmer with his nice herd of cows, well kept building, good home, a rich farm, we can’t help but feel that we should at leosi he grate ful for the opportunlf n-s which §till exist on properly managed farms. FEEDING THE FARM FAMII.i. There is j>uch an abundance of fine fre.sh food on a farm that tber* seems no reason why folks living there should not be the b*sl ted families in the world. Bv lx lug the best led, is not necessarily mount by havinv the most in quantity to eat, as often those eatuw the most, and even the best, foods arc not correctly nourished. The foods must be correctly balanced in order to give the proper nourishment. Those who axe on dairy farms, know what rations cows must have to develop into fine producing animals; also those who have raised poultry from, the day-old stage to maturity know that it is very important that }!y?s*v chickens have certain hxxrts irrecr- ' tain amounts during the different stages of their development Ho, loo, with the families.
