Every once in a while some
one who does not know what he
is talking about advances the
plan of development of horti-
alit ore in Oklahoma county
and suggests that apple grow-
ing be tried on a commercial
basis Old timers who have
seen it tried here not only with
apples but with peaches 'and
have watched them go broke at
the venture will not take kindly
of the idea
Apples and peaches can of
course be grown in Oklahoma
county on a small scale and of
a quality that will sell on the
local market but they cannot
compete in quality with these
fruits raised elsewhere and
there is no excuse to try to fool
those who do not know and who
might be induced to invest in
such ventures
If horticulturists in this coun-
ty desire to raise fruits tiny had
better stick to the vine and bush
variety

adays if one boy can do a jot) in

THE FIRE 'OF YOUTH
The fire of youth though useful in
a sense
Cannot compare with tried experi-
ence The first sees only end to be a-
chieved Does not know that dreams can-
not be believed
For what they seem and often lead
astray
Unless we know what's gone be-
fore our day
So when the weighty matters you
decide
Do not the long experience de-
ride My son I know you do not mean
to err
But enthusiasm in the heart may
stir
Emotions which if to fruition
brought
Do not produce results of which
you thought
And many times if such course you
pu ES ue
Regret in after years may come to
you
Before decision momentous you
make
Consult experience for wisdom's
sake

They are telling this one about a
man who recently got on a Frisco
train at Luther and inadvertently
left the door of the car open A big
man sitting in the middle of the ear
yelled:
"Shut the door you fool! Were you
raised in a barn?"
The man who had left the door
open closed it and then at down
without saying a word
The big man looked somewhat un-
comfortable and rising finally vialk-
ed up to the man and tapped din on
the shoulder
"My friend" he said "I didn't in-
tend to hurt your feelings I just
'anted the door closed"
"Old man" he said "you didn't
hurt my feelings because you asked
me if I was raised in a barn The
fact is I was raised in a barn and
every time I hear a jackass bray it
makes me homesick"
