Centers of Production. »: > The largest centers of production at present, he sa.y^ are In southern Alabama and souttiWn California, though there are extensive plantings near Wilmington, N.

Evidence at hand Indicates that It is hardy from Norfolk, V?., south and west to include eastern North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and the states west of Texas, Including Arkansas and parts of Tennessee and Oklahoma. In California, Oregon and Washington It Is apparently adapted to a somewhat greater range of conditions than is the loganberry. Resists Disease. The Young dewberry is favored because of its resistance to anthracnose and leaf-spot diseases, the vigor and productiveness of the plants, and the high dessert quality of Its fruit. Recent tests Indicate that the fruit is well adapted to freezing for sale In the winter season, and fts usefulness after freezing for preserves, pies, agd the 'taVtie sTlt'ir^sts tiifs outlet one o? the most important for tills berry. No planting stock is available from the department, Mr. Darrow says, but prospective growers will find the Young dewberry listed for sale by a number of Southern nursery establishments. • » THEOUIDGORS Nearby and Y o n d e r • • • • fcyT.T.

A good outfit Is a galvanized Iron tank three feet In diameter and four wet high. The creosote may be heated over an open fire with the tank on a temporary foundation. The posts should be thoroughly seasoned before treatment. The lower half of the post should remain In hot creosote (190 degrees F.) for a period of two to four hours. The posts should then be allowed to remain Ijq the creosote as It cools. The tops of the posts such as cottonwood and willow should be dipped In the creosote for a few minutes. A penetration of one-half Inch in |he portion of the post coming In contact with the ground will give good protection.

Three tables were played and Increase Continues in Production of Oats Oats production continues to Increase In the United States despite the fact that the number of horses and mules on the country's farms Is declining. That the demand for oats has been adversely affected by the substitution of mechanical power for animal labor on farms Is indicated by the post-war trend In oats prices. Oats since the war have brought prices about on a level with those prevailing before the war. In comparison with the price position of other feed grains and most other agricultural commodities, this is an extremely unfavorable situation. Farm commodity prices generally have averaged about 40 per cent higher since the war than before. Do rural children respond less to Natqrti's beauties than city ' school children ? Do they prefer rOungh, unkempt grounds, crude outbuilding* of sheathing boards, ^nd broken down fences, glaring heat of late spring and early fall suns, or the chilling blasts of winter against an unprotected and rudely constructed schoolhouse? Persons touring the country frequently arrive at the conclusion that rural school pupils are insensible to surroundings--or that their parents consider that environment does not influence their children's characters, or desires to learn the rudiments of education taught in rural schools. This is the view taken by many of the country's students of progress and of human character, with the result that a movement to revolutionize conditions surrounding the public schools of rural districts has been inaugurated. Already committees are at work in various portions of the country to bring about changed conditions for the rural school children. It is recognized that rural districts cannot be supplied with the magnificent architectural structures erected in metropolitan cities. However, rural school authorities are being shown that a tendency to such modern construction and facilities as is possilri in rural districts produces salient results not only in the character of pupils attending them, but in their education. Still further, these school authorities are being taught that ground improvement and beautification at rural schools has the result of keeping pupils interested in their surroundings, their own rural pleasures and pursuits and thus dissipates their desires to break away from home ties and enter the cities. This movement toward betterment of rural school conditions, while yet in its formative stage, already has become nation-wide. It had its inception in a small rural' district of South Dakota, where a local chapter of the Izaak Walton League took up the beailtification of its neighboring rural school grounds. Its work was reported to National Headquarters of the League at Chicago, which immediately took up the matter of improving rural school grounds as one of the League's many conservation activities. The League's 3000 States were informed of the plan, with the result that already in a great many communities the first steps toward ground beautification have been taken. Better construction, of course, is a matter of time and financial condition of the various districts. However, it pointed out that ground beautification is a matter of no cost whatever. Hence, tree and flower bed planting, clearing up of debris and brushwood, building or repairing of fences and outbuildings, are works in which the school pupils--and their parents--are rapWly becoming interested. Indeed, a spirit of rivalry already has been produced among chapters of the League to show which locality can produce the most artistic «s well as useful results in beautification of the rural school grounds. - I. iiM ifci 4 A Canine Cemetery THE village of Hartsdale, some twenty miles north of New York city, boasts a cemetery for dogs--the first In America, established in 1896. This resting place for departed aristocrats of dogdom comprises about five acres, is laid out in winding walks, planted with shrubs and trees and contains several hundred, interments. • Single plots measuring two by three (pet, sell for $24; the operating company will furnish caskets at prices ranging fron» $10 to $20 ; cement vaults may be purchased If desired, prices varying from $75 to $150; Interment charges range from $2 to <$5. Many beautiful monuments -- some quite unique, others carrying a photograph of the departed dog, many quite expensive, one Is said to have cost $1,300--dot the grounds. Judging from the inscriptions on these monuments, many much-loved pets rest here in peace. One reads, Ah Sin, Puppy, died June, 1924. He traveled 66,000 miles with his Master and Mammy"; another, "Our Skippie, died April 23, 1919--born a dog, lived like a gentleman, died beloved;" another, "Collie--rl2 years--Clinker X. He was born in the purple and a gentleman;" still, another, "Rastus--the smartest; most lovable monkey that lived." The central stone, topped by the figure of a dog In striking pose. Is decorated to the memory of the War Dog and was erected by popular subscription by dog lovers, for valiant service rendered during the World war. (ft MM.
