According to the Farm Bulletin:
Sweet clover was a failure on tho
Duncan McDonald farm In ins,

Donald determined to try the crop
a second time and seeded a con
siderable ncreaage In 1U27. He
secured considerable pasture from
the 1927 planting during the latter
part of the season. Approximately
two weeks ago he reported as fol
lows on his 1928 results: "My live
stock are unable to keep up with
the growth of the sweet clover pas
ture. For three weeks I have had
91 ewes with their lambs, three
cows and the work horses atnlght
on a field of eight and one-halt

far as we know that story novcr
appeared in print, consequently the
account prepared by the Hon. Dun
ham Wright, of Medical Springs, is
appreciated. The story would have
been moro appropriate last week
but the cut appearing on this page
wus late In arriving, henco the
delay In using the story. As told
by Air. Wright, the Incident wus us
follows:
These photographs are the pic
tures of the pioneer ladies who
made tho first American flag,
which was unfurled to the bivezo
on the Fourth of July, at tho town
of l'n ion In IStiS. That was just
three score and five years ago. Our
country ut the time wus in the
throes of the Civil wur, whe-n fath
er wus armed against son and bro
ther against brother. , Theso two
patriotic ludies were loyal to the
preservation of the Union and felt
that the flag of our country should
be unfurle-d on Liberty's day in the

counties. . .
There wus no material kept In
tho little storea of our country In
that day suitable lor making un
Ametieun flag. Ho what were these
two patriotic ladies to do to grat
ify their ambition? True to tho
unyielding spirit of tho pioneer, for
where there is a will thoro is a way.
Airs. Hendershott remembered that
she had carefully laid away as u
very dear keepsake, a beautiful red
(I revs, which had belonged to a
deceased daughter. She wisely de
cided that it could be used to no
better purpose than to form tho
red fit i' iocs of the flag of our conn
try. Wo this mother cut up this
precious trophy Into strips and
pieced them by hand to lake thoir
