Article Requests That All Wear the
Favorite Flower of Their Mother,
or a White Carnation.
Austin, Tex.—Governor Colquitt has
issued an official proclamation desig-
nating the second Sunday in May as
mothers' day. He asks that our
mother's favorite flower be worn on
that day, also a miniature American
flag, and urges that at noon on that
day a little prayer be said, the words
of which he incorporates in his proc-
lamation. The proclamation has been
artistically printed under long covers
and tied with a narrow white ribbon,
suggesting purity. There is also in-
cluded in the little folder last year's
mothers' day proclamation.
The proclamation for 1912 is in full
as follows:
It is to be hoped that the custom ol
designating a day in each year as
"mothers' day" will become a perma-
nent one in this state. It is a beauti-
ful recognition of our best friend on
earth, and the official designation of
the second Sunday in May enables all
the people to unite in paying tribute
and expressing their love—a love that
all good mothers inspire and deserve.
Some of us would be better and feel
more worthy of the world's honors
and goods if our sainted mothers
could be beside us and help us with
their love and advice to meet the
duties of the hour and to discharge
them properly. It is our mothers that
instill into our hearts the best prin-
ciples of our lives. At mother's knee,
where we used to rest our little heads
and receive the gentle touch of hei
loving hands and the benedictions ol
h^r kiss and prayers, we learned the
first great principles of correct living.
I adjure all the men, women and
children in Texas to recognize* the
debt of gratitude we owe to our moth-
ers by rendering to them obedience,
respect and lovingly observe the
duties due them, throughout the en-
tire year, and that all join in paying
them one grand tribute on mothers'
day. It has been said that the best
preacher is the heart; that the besty
teacher is time; that the best book is
the world, and that the best friend is
God—and all of these may be sum
med up in the one word, "mother."
Mother's love is our best friendship,
and is
Like music heard on the still water,
Like pines when the winds passeth by,
Like pearls in the depth of the ocean,
Like stars that enamel the sky,
Like June and the odor of roses,
Like dew and the freshness of morn,
Like sunlight that kisses the clover,
Like 'tassels of silk on the corn.
Like notes of the thrush in the wood-
land.
Like brooks where the violets grow,
Like rainbows that arch the blue
heavens, . J
Like clouds when the sun dippeth low
Like dreams of Arcadian pleasures,
Like colore that gratefully blend,
Like everything breathing of pureness,
Like these is the love of our mother-
friend.
Now, therefore, I, O, B. Colquitt,
governor of Texas, dp issue this" my
proclamation, and call upon all the
people to observe the second Sunday
in May, the same being the twelfth
day thereof, as "mothers' day." I re-
spectfully recommend that the day be
duly observed by appropriate services
wherever the people are gathered to-
gether, and that proper and appro-
priate tribute be paid to our mothers,
and that every peirson wear on that
day the favorite flower of mother, and
if you do not recall her favorite, then
that you wear a white carnation. And
if convenient and obtainable, also
wear a miniature American flag on
the lapel of your coat in recognition
of the great things accomplished un-
der our form of government for the
uplifting of womankind. At the noon
hour, that day, I further recommend
that all lisp the following little
prayer:
"Now I lay me down to Bleep,
I pray thee. Lord, my soul to keep,
If I should die before I wake,
I pray thee, Lord, my soul to take."

seal of the state of Texas, at the capl-

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
MAKING UNIQUE EXPERIMENTS
Establishes Garden on Pacific Coast for Culture and Prop-
agation of Holland Bulbs — Compare Favorably
With, if They Do Not Surpass
tne Imported Article.
i
A Fine Turnip Field In Holland.
Comparatively few know of the in-
teresting experiments that are being
carried on at the bulb garden near the
town of Bellingham, Washington, un-
der the direction of the secretary of
tgriculture.
For years the United States has
6een sending to Holland and Euro-
pean countries many thousands of dol-
lars annually for hyacinth, tulip, nar-
cissus, and crocus bulbs. The pur-
Chase of these bulbs had constantly
increased until the past year, when
pver a million dollars' worth Were im-
ported.
In 1908 the secretary of agriculture
decided to establish on the Pacific
coast a garden for the culture and
propagation of Holland bulbs, and a
point on Puget Sound near to the
town of Bellingham was selected as
having a suitable soil and climate for
this work. A tract of ten acres was
leased through the Bellingham board
of trade and the necessary buildings
erected and turned over to the depart-
ment of agriculture for the purpose of
demonstrating whether of not the Hol-
land bulbs could be grown successfully
at that point.
The department commenced work at
A serious drawback to the produc-
tion Of Holland bulbs on the coast
is the heavy expense of freight ship-
ments across the continent, but when
shipment can be made by water, as
Vill be the case after the completion
of the Panama canal, it should be pos-
sible to deliver such bulbs at the port
of New York almost as cheaply as
they can be brought from Europe.
Furthermore, the demand for such
bulbs for planting on the Pacific coast
is rapidly increasing.
These experiments are solely for
the purpose of showing prospective
bulb growers what can be done in
growing these bulbs in the United
States. The gardens are always open
to the public, and when the bulbs are
In bloom thousands avail them-
selves of the opportunity to visit the
gardens and enjoy the flowers. At
that time it is a veritable little Hol-
land. Thousands upon thousands of
hyacinths, tulips and narcissis in all
coiors and nearly all in flower at
once can be seen.
Careful records are being kept and
much valuable information is being
collected in connection with thexbulb
experiments, which will, eventually, be
Gathering Hyacinth Blooms in Holland.
once, and the same year planted over
170,000 bulbs. From that time the
work has gone on increasing until the
present year, when over 869,000 bulbs
were planted. The increase in the
number of bulbs raised hak been very
gratifying; each bulb yielding the
maximum number of young ones,
which have proved equal, if not superi-
or, to the results obtained in Holland.
It is believed that bulbs can be
grown on the Pacific coast, and of a
quality that will compare favorably
with, and In many ways surpass, the
imported article, the cost of produc-
tion and marketing being now the
chief obstacles. \
An effort is being made to over-
come the differences between the
high price of labor in America and
the cheap labor of Europe by Invent-
ing appliances to lessen the hand
labor required in bulb production, and
the substitution of horse power for
many of the operations performed
entirely by hand in Europe has re-
duced the cost of production consid-
erably. In this way it is hoped that
growers In the United States will be
able to compete successfully wltlf the
European bulb growers.
CLOVER IS ONE
OF BEST CROPS
Valuable for S.orlnar Up Nitrogen
in the Soil in a. Form
Available for Other
Plants.
Clover is at the same time one o#
the be^t feeding crops and one of the
best tillage crops. It acts both as a
subsoiler and drainer. The subjects
of clover and fertility are closely in-
terwoven, and although they are as
aid as history to many farmers, they
are a new thing, and there are prob-
lems connected with them which are
not yet solved.
The abuse of clover consists in grow-
ing it for the sole purpose of hay or
grain to be sold off the land. The use
of it consists in growing it for stor-
ing up nitrogen in the soil in a form
available for other crops, which in
at the disposal of anyone who may
wish to take up bulb growing.
Last year a very interesting exper-
iment was made on the trial grounds
of the department of agriculture at
Washington, where a test was made
of the bulbs that had been grown at
Bellingham in comparison with those
grown in Holland. Fifty bulbs of the
same varieties of tulips were plant-
ed side by side and given the same
treatment. Those from Bellingham
opened their flowers from seven to ten
days earlier than the Holland-grown
bulbs, were of better quality in size
of flower and in color, and were re-
markable for the almost total absence
of disease, while the imported bulbs
showed a large number of diseased
plants, and many of them failed to
produce a flower.
As the demand for such flower roots
is increasing rapidly and bids fair to
double in value within a few years,
It offers a promising field for the in-
vestment of American capital and the
establishment of a new and profitable
industry on the Pacific coast which
will keep at home the large amount of
money now being sent abroad an-
nually for bulbs.
turn should be fed out on the farm,
and the manure restored to the soil.
By using clover, without abusing it, it
>1 possible to increase the supply of
nitrogen in the soil to almost any ex-
tent, and at the same time maintain
the other elements. These elements
in their available form are constantly
Increased by the liberating of the ni-
trogen in the soil Itself through the
action of frost, water and tillage; and
hence the use of clover will enab'e
the farmer to keep his land constantly
in a very high state of fertility, while
the abuse of it will enable him to
make it more absolutely and utterly
barren.
Clover hay properly cured makes an
acceptable food for all stock. It is
not usually considered a satisfactory
hay for the horse, the dust it carries
proving very detrimental. A limited
quantity of good clover hay may, how-
ever, be fed to horses of all kinds
with favorable results. If the hay is
dusty, it should be moistened with *.

THE PEEVISH CHILD
NEEDS TREATMENT
When a child sulks drowsily, or is
fretful, it is usually due to some slight
disorder of the digestive organs, and a
mild laxative is very often fell that Is
necessary to restore cheerfulness and
buoyancy of spirits.
in cases where the use of a gentle,
effective laxative stimulant is indi-
cated, many of the best physicians are
now prescribing Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This preparation is admitted-
ly the perfect laxative, being mild, yet
positive In its action on the bowels,
and far preferable to violent cathart-
ics and purgative waters. It is very
pleasant to tha taste and Is an ideal
remedy to regulate and strengthen the
stomach, liver and bowels. Its easy,
natural action makes it especially de-
sirable in the case of children, a dose
at bed-time being sure to have the de-
sired result next morning, with no at-
tendant unpleasantness or discomfort.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
by druggists everywhere in 50c and
$1.00 bottles. If you have never tried
this splendid remedy, write to Dr. W.
B. Caldwell, 201 Washington St., Mon-
ticello, 111., for a sample- He will be
very glad to send a trial bottle with-
out any expense to you whatever.
Two Smiles.
E$a Pound, the poet, was talking
at the Authors' club, in New York,
about Shelley's cremation.
"Cremation, although beautiful," he
said, "lends Itself to ribald jest in a
way that sepulture doesn't.
"Who can forbear a smile at the
thought of that devoted young ma-
tron, who, her front steps being cov-
ered with sleet, sprinkled her first
husband's ashes over them in order
that her second husband might de-
scend in safety?"
Smiling himself, Mr. Pound re-
sumed:
"And who could forbear another
smile at the thought of the young
widow on the blustery March morning
who entered her drawing room to find
that the wind had overturned the vase
which contained her husband's re-
mains?
" 'Pshaw,' she said, 'now Isn't It Just
like George; to throw his ashes all
over my new Kfrmanshah rugl'"
Something In It.
Governor Beryl Carroll of Iowa has
an amusing story of a state senator
whose amusing appearance might pos-
sibly lead one to mistake him for a
laboring man, but who is as sensitive
as a woman to all unpleasant circum-
stances.
"This man," said Governor Carroll,
"happened to be standing outside a
Des Moines undertaking establish-
ment, conversing with a friend on
political matters, when one of the
employes came out of the shop and
said:
" 'Say, will ydu give us a lift with
a casket?'
"The senator shuddered and replied
hesitatingly:
"1s there—is there—anything in
itr
" 'Sure,' came the hearty reply,
there's a couple of drinks In it!' "•—
