Brush dams will help stop erosion.
F. II. Goodfellow of Greenwood says
the brush dam does the work, that
one built in a small ditch that drains
fifty acres or more, held through all
the heavy rains. Although the ditch
did not fill up much because the land
is not farmed now, just pastured. A
dam was built at the head of a small
ditch running back in to the field for
Amo3 Weldon, near Ashland.
Now is the time to begin to think
about harvest labor. Harvest has be
gun in Texas and soon will be here.
A. J. Deitrich of Louisville says
strawberries will do well on bottom
land except when we have, a wet
spring and then they mildew. He
also stated that he would have only
one-half crop of berries as the frost
this spring killed about one-half the
blossoms.
Many are using arsenate of lead
No. 1 to 25 gallons of water to spray
for potato bugs. Mr. Miller of Weep
ing Water says he sprayed his pota
toes once this spring using arsentae
of lead and it is still there. And if
he had used Bar is Green he would
have had to spray' after each rain.
Monday morning. June 11, found

the women of Maple Grove club at
home. About eighteen women came
with work baskets well filled and
material for a summer dress. Before
the day was over every woman pres
ent had her dress cut and fitted and
plans made for finishing same. The
ladies served a delicious cafeteria
dinner at noon. Everyone returned
home feeling that the day was most
profitable.
Twenty-two girls of Rock Bluff
precinct and their leader Mary Barks
met at the Lewiston church Tues
day morning June 12. The morning
was spent planning for sewing bags
each girl having material for some.
They were taught to draft the pat
tern and then each girl used her pat
tern for cutting the bag. Before the
meeting closed the bags were nearly
completed. All enjoyed a picnic
lunch at noon.
Tuesday afternoon the women of
the Murray club met at the home of
Mrs. John Davis and spent the time
fitting waist pattern and cutting
and fitting summer dresses. Many
attractive dresses will be completed.
Twelve enthusiastic girls met at

was taken up and all the girls draft
ed patterns. At noon, Mrs. Foster
served a delicious dinner.
The Chilson community club met
at the home of Mrs. Oscar Domingo

women cut and fitted dresses and
made plans for attractive finishes
for same.
The women of Eight Mile Grove
precinct displayed their culinary art
Thursday afternoon by making and
serving different kinds of fruit and
vegetable salads. Each woman vied
with her neighbor in trying to dis
play the most attractive salad. All
looked very tempting and when the
time came to test same it was hard
to say which was the best. Bulletins
were given out containing recipes of
the different salads, and salad dress
ings. Another interesting feature of
the meeting was a display of child
ren's clothing. About fifteen attrac
tive little tots' dresses and suits
were on display, most of them being
made over the patterns which Mrs.
Legg gave out in the children's
clothing demonstration. Everyone
voted the meeting a great success.
