Fate West of the licdgcoxe cojll-
luunlty was in town on business and
In conversation witti a reporter staled
that his wheat crop was looking good.
He says lhat wheat on his farm is not
suffering from the recent freezes but
in up and doing nicely. He has sixty
acres on the Hush farm winch he lias
cultivated for a number of years, lie
believes that wheat needs rain worse
than anything else but says t'>kiiiK ev-
erything into consideration that his
present wheat crop Is as good as bis
last year's crop at the same time.
Wheat is about a month liehlmt in
growth but the prospects for a good
yield are not at all discouraging A
good rain now would lie fine on
wheat, he says.
Kate West came to Collin county not
so many yearn ago and when he land-
ed here he possessed the munificent
sum of one dollar. Hut by his energetic
disposition and frugal habits he has
become reasonably prosperous, lie
has been a tenant on the Hush farms
for the past twelve years. Ijist year
bo made fine crops and "went over
the top" from a financial standpoint.

Under normal conditions tho homo
garden is a most valuable asset and
since we are engaged In a world war
and food of every kind Is high, the
home garden will prove of mure val-
ue than ovor before. Preparation of
soil: A. deep and well pulverised seed
bed Is absolutely necessary In order to
produce a vegetable garden. Tho
ground selected for a garden should
be well drained and well stored with
humiie, this may lie supplied with
leaf-mold or well rotted straw, wood-
ashes is fine for supplying potash to
plants In the country where there
is usually a.mple ground practically
all vegetables should lie planted in
rows with silllieient space between to
umc plow or cultivator. A complete
list of garden seed should be pur-
chased at once nii11 every vegetable
that Is frost resistant should lie plant-
ed as early as possible; Irish potatoes,
onions, early Jersey Wakefield and
Japanese cabbage, and Bngllsh peas
should bo planted at once. Spring
turnips, mustard and beets should
follow a short time later and a.s the
weather gets warmers other vegeta-
bles should follow viz: black-eyed
I ens, healls. etc., last but not least
the humble pumpkin should not lie
overlooked as they furnish food for
man, beast and Is also a splemthl
food for chickens, when their Is scar-

ture and lire harvested for use, some-
thing should lie pla II1 ed every time
.' vegetable is pulled from (he gar-
den, by that means, on a small space
we can have fresh vegetables lie
season through. As tin men have |t<"
more difficult duties, it should be
pleasant recreation for the hovs and
gills to work the gardens. It will not
only bring them In closer touch with
nature but will broaden their know-
ledge of the soil and get them Inter-
ested In other phases of agriculture.

Mrs. C. V. Hamilton, who has lived
In and around McKinney for 63 years,
Foil. S celebrated her HHth birthday
anniversary at her homo, 10(1 South
Parkor street. Mrs, Hamilton was
born in Van Huron, Arkansas, and
came to Collin county in 1866. She
makns her homo with her grand-
daughters and grandson, Misses
Maude and Corrlo Davis, Kathleen
Hamilton ami Dowilen Davis. Mrs.
Hamilton Is an aunt of C. P., J. S.
anil R D. Hoard, Mrs. Florence Hliea
and Mcsdames I* A. Scott and J. B.
Wiley, all of McKinney. An unusual
co-incldonco ill connection with her
birthday ami celebration of this ovont
was called to our attention by the
Pev, J. W. Willhanks, pastor of the
Central Presbyterian church of this
city. Mrs. Hamilton was born Feb. H,
18.10, celebrated the 88th anniver-
sary of the event mi Friday which was
Feb. 8, 1918. Of course Hie reader will
readily observe that the peculiar co-
incidence lies In the unusual number
of the numerical character 8 which
appear in tlie dates of her birth and
celebration of tlie anniversary. This
good old mother Is remarkably well
preserved, both mentally and physical-
ly, for one of her very advanced years.
She has the congratulations of scores
of friends throughout our city in the
attainment of so ripe an old age as 88
May she live to enjoy many other
happy returns of her birthday oc-
casion.

CAI SION MANV HAHDSHIPS
The present w inter has been one of
tho most severe thus far In many
years throughout the country. Here In
McKinney old settlers say that they
rarely ever witnessed a winter so con-
tinuously cold. Much of the time snow
and sleet have covered the ground,
milking the roads and street pave-
ments extremely hazardous for
horses or aulos to travel over. With
very few exceptions patrons ai d sub-
scribers have been very considerate
and patient w ith delivery boys for dry
goods, groceries, dairies and newspa
pers. Dairymen have .especially been
operating under Irving conditions,
working early and late In the hitter
cobl and traveling over dangerou: l\
slick and slippery pavements lo make
deliveries on usual iluo In the main,
they have made their rounds on time
and when occasionally late, most of
the patrons have been sympathetic
and have borne with their temporary
delivery Interruptions.
Texas, while hi northern states and
Canada the rains will lie followed by
snow.
Willie these storms vlll be unusual-
ly severe the precipitation will he best
of the winter, particularly where It
has been too dry. (Slowing wheal in
southwestern part of the Winter
wheal section will be much improved
by this precipitation. Farmers should
gel their grain to market before HiIh
storm comes, as II will cause ten days
of had weather for shipping, lu part
of the best corn sections preparations
will begin In earnest, for tho coming
crops soon after tills storm.
I am more llrmly of opinion that
the great world war will end before
another crop is matured. If the Kai-
ser can not win before flrst of July it
will be a plain ease of failure for It I in
and his army will necessarily lose
much of its vigor.
14. Tho lows are our storm cen-
ters. Their organizations and motions
are exuetly tho same as our north
magnetic polos, but tho latter are
vastly larger. Tho spiral motion In tho
low is the samo as nearly all our
climbing vines. The electric force
passes down Into the Baitli through
the center of our nortn magnetic polo
and passes up through its mate, lo-
cated In northern Siberia. Disturb-
ances from the Moon or from planets
follow that line. Tho returning mag-
netic forces pass down In a spiral
around tho electric lino of tho Siberia
north magnetic pole and up around
our North America magnetic north
pole. Tlie magnetic pole In Siberia
whirls against the Barth's rotation,
but our magnetic pule has very much
greater force and therefore rotates
the Burtli from west to east. These
nortl magnetic poles ore connected
at their tops through or above the at-
mosphere anil at their bottoms
through tho Bartli. This Is also true
of the lights and lows that constitute
our storms. In tIi,■ same manner the
perpetual Itcrlng Sea low is connected
with the Atlantic ocean high and the
Iceland low yvjth the Atlantic ocean
high.
