CROW INC CORN WITH BRAINS 



M7 



GRAND CHAMPION BUSHEL OF THE WORLD. 



Such splendid corn as this is not produced by accident. Mr. Kerlin plows deep, practices surface 

 cultivation and uses a good system of crop rotation. 



They Must be Met. 



The man who is worthy of being a 

 leader of men will never complain of 

 the stupidity of his helpers, of the in- 

 gratitude of mankind, nor of the inap- 

 preciation of the public. 



These things are all a part of the 

 great game of life, and to meet them 

 and not go down before them in dis- 

 couragement and defeat is the final 

 proof of power. — Elbert Hubbard. 



September. 



The schoolboys thrust, 



'Midst whirlwind's gust. 

 Caps and sticks into circling dust," 



Wee billow-breezes gently nod, 



Tall asters wild and goldenrod ; 

 When Autumn's color scheme begins, 

 The bagworm's roughened cocoon spins; 



And squirrels throng 



The scuppernong, 

 And leaf-beds build in chestnut prong. 



-Robert Sparks Walker.
