WINS PLACE IN NATIONAL CONTEST Making the Little Farm Pay By C. C. BOWSFIELD B S 2 e Neglect of fruit growing is flagrant In the middle west, but the modern Idea of securing larger returns per acre from the land will in a few-years result In a revival of horticulture. No matter how large or how small a tarm I8 nor where it is situated, if timber will grow there, wise land- owners will give a reasonable amount of attention to fruit. They will man- age their orchards intelligently ~and make them pay at the rate of $200 to $400 an acre. As land grows in value farms naturally decrease in size and owners come to realize the peed of making every acre count to the ut- most of its earning capacity without destroying soil fertility. Experts fully agree that orchard land may be made to return a good income while the young trees are coming to maturity. There are many crops that can be handled in an orchard without hurting either soll or trees, and per- sons cultivating small tracts will feel like using them to make the ground: profitable every year instead of wait- ing five or six years for the fruit trees The Beauty and Brains contest, a nation-wide enterprise which under the guidance of the World-Equitable Motion Picture corporation, has been running for the past eight months in the Photo-Play Magazine, is drawing to a close. Lillian Russell, one of the judges, has made the firat selec- tion. Mrs. Ruth Henrionnet of Bemidji, one of the original candidates, was selected by Miss Russell and is one of the hundred who will enter the final climination.. The elimination is now going forward to select the eleven successful candidates. Ruth Henrionnet, when the con- test originated, was prevailed upon to send her photograph with the re- sult that when the eight thousand likenesses were gone over she was se- lected as one of the hundred most likely film subjects by Lillian Rus- sell. The contest called for an equal amount of brains and beauty. 3 There will be ten winning candi- dates from the United States and one from Canada. The eleven success- ful young ladies will be taken to New York, a month will be devoted to New At The Bazaar All the latest shades in Georgette Crepe and Taffettas. Late styles in summer dress goods.

A clay soll is the most difficult to prépare and often requires manuring as well as thorough plowing and sub- soiling. It should also be frequently stirred during the summer and espe- cially as soon -after each rainfall as possible to prevent it from baking and becoming compacted.

Sandy land is generally lacking in plant food. An elevated bit of land s best for fruit, but while a gentle slope is rec- ommended a steep hillside is not de- sirable. Good results usually follow from spring planting, and the young trees may be either one year or two years old.
