Spring starts whenever she gets the spring hat fever.
A boy who doesn't want to eat things that make him
sick is already sick.
f Any man can figure out how generous he would be if
he had a little more money.
"IN THE SPRING"
Before we speak of spring itself, we wish to say that
. spring fever, which is going to be quite common during
the next month or so in the Grando Konde valley, is not
explained in tho same way by all psychologists and phy
sicians, but without regard to what these learned folk say
the people who get it will heartily agree that it is a very
real and not exactly an unpleasant thing.
Some writers tell us that it is nothing but a luthugic
drowsiness, caused by the poisons accumulated 'during the
physical inaction of winter. We can help nature to clim
; inalo these poisons by taking long walks, breathing doeply
of thsjV3i ik1 stimulttlin&4
; ing to hoe the garden.
j There is reason to believe, however,, that spring fever
j is not entirely physical. ..There is a good deal of tho physic
.in it also.. It is partly physic insofar as it is a reaction
j front winter. Tho contrast between the first warm weath
j er and the cold of winter unconsciously reminds us of the
sluggishness of the tropics,: home of our prehistoric an
, cestors. ' Or perhaps spring fever is an inheritance from
; the limes when the cave man, after a long and monotonous
; winter in his den. strolled out to bask lnzilv in thn wiu-m
I spring sunlight. Agreeable as tho gentle lassitude of spring
fever often lis, we must not sunender ourselves to it too
i readily, for there is more work to bo done in the spriii'r
; than perhaps in any other season, and the man who aban
jdons himself to spring fever has a tendency to shirk his
'share of it.
With this warning emphasized, we wish to observe that
thn rlpliirVif nf unvinrr rmiiwil Im i..j ii :..
jtlien that snp starts risin: in the "trees. Grass up units
'preen. Plant li To hurls. Chirping birds pause on their way
north. The bear leave bis den. Timber wolves stop ruii
' ning in packs and mate. That is sprinjr the sunrise of
a new period oi me. 'ihe backyard Rardner stii-s. Farmers
, whistle in the fields. Coif Imjrs smack their lips. Kishet
i'men go over their tackle. Small boys swarm with marbles,
baseballs, kites. ... ;
Spring is the time to take a new lease on life, to gel
(h fresh start. Kill your lungs with IVesh air and go to it.
The best thing about spring is that it is a prelude to an
other round of intense human activity. . Kxcept. of course,
for the gentleman who has spring fever :Ui.r days of tho
year.

"We regard the positive refuaal

"The existing conditions in tho

''2. Itecominend mixing highest
MiiuHly possible by better methods
of soil fertility, pruning and ex

'The grower to realize anything
on his fruit should have ut least

"4. There Is much complaint
