at the Union Pacific bridge over the
Loup River vest 'Iday, causing the
bottom lands to be overlooked for
miles, and also a portion of the town
of Columbus. Hundreds of people
were obliged TO leave their homes and
seek safety elsewhere. The latest re-
port states that the water is still rising
and much damage is feared, espe-
cially to railroad travel The Platte
River, into which the Loup empties,
near Columbus, is very high and
overlooking the country. 1t is re-
ported that the Burlington and Mis-

moved out People in the low lands
were warned by couriers of impend-

Fall pl0Min%.

A period of droutll extending
through, the season Of fall blowing
to HE extent Of preventing this
important work, would bn IL most
serious drawback to the fafmer.-
1t would prevent he proper prepa-
ration of the Soiltor many crops of
tile succeeding year. Fortunately
such dry periods seldom occnr.-
But how many farmers realize the
valile Of this work, or that the ac-
ton of moisture and frost on the
soil is ono of the most bcnefccntin
nature?
All soils arc formed primarily by
tue breaking up, grinding down,
and disinte grafton Of rock. When
earth is mixed With organic matcr-
ial it constitutes soil. When thor
oughly moist it occupies more
space than when dry. In the ac
ton of the freezing, when moist,
every particle, however minute, is
still farther separated one from
another. Hence the perfect disin-
tcsratioi seen in arabic soils that
have been laid up rough to the ac-
tlon Of frost during wintcr-a more
perfect state than can be produced
by any artificial means.
This is one OF the economics Of
fall blowing. Another is, that
turning up the various larvae in the
soil to the action of air and FROST
destroys large number. Still
anotllrris, that til" trash turned I'M
der becomes partially decayed be
fore cold weather sets in. il the
blowing has been done carly
Another important advantage
gained is that the spring work is
thereby leSsened, and the seed may
be SoNn early enough to fairly as
sure u crop. OF all the facts sti-
ted. however, many farmers csti-
mate simply the gain Of time ON
spring work, and many enormously
suppose this is ut tile eXp.nse of
the integrity of he yield. The
fact that fall blowing lessons the
spring work is one Of the least
valuable, yet is of itself OF sufficient
Importance to warrant every effort
TO turn over as great All area as
possible. Try early fall blowing
and note the result.-Chicago Trl-
