The Meeker schools will open Monday
With Mr.. W. H. Clark ~ principal and
head Of the high school department.
Miss Carson in the intermediate depart
ment and Miss Elizabeth McMechen in
charge of the primary department.
During the summer vacation several
changes and improvements have been
made In the school building which will
add much to the comfort and accomoda-
tion of q rapidly increasing school
population. And here We wish to re-
mark that it is the policy Of tho local
board to enlarge our educational privil-
eyes rs fast Is a liberal expenditure Of
money and the exigencies Of the case
demand.
Miss McMechen comes from Denver
and is very highly recommended.
Last year she had charge of the inter-
mediate department Of the Akron,
Colo, schools. and the Leader of that
plsce refers to her in the following COM
plimentary terms:
.The intermediate department of the
Akron school is in charge of Miss

The car Of all the Russias has issued
- note requesting meeting Of a1 TIE
powers to consider the disarmini and
doing away with the present stupendous
military and naval sggreaations main
talned by all the eastern counties.
The note has caused . sensation in
diplomatic circles tho world over. In
view Of the present strained relations
between Russia and Great Britain 1t
looks as though the czar was anxious to
avoid a conflict il possible between the
two great powers. His abhorrenoe for
anything akin to war and bloodshed is
we'll known. yet 1t may be but 4 clever
ruse to get out of the hole which Eng
lands lamb.like tendency has forced
the Russian into. The foreign press
treats the matter in various ways
some sneer at 1t openly. some regard
with distrust and the balance treat the
subject with a careful reserve. but the
main concensus Of opinion seems to be
that the proposed meeting can only be
fruitless in result.

vested, and two of them were partly
winter killed. The average yield Of the
fourteen crops harvested is 1916 BUSH
els.
2. subsoiling for wheat has not ben
Gifted the yield. 1t has, on the con-
trary, apparently reduced the yield
over that on surface-plowed ground in
nearly every instance it'has been tried
8. As to the time of seeding wheat,
the results Of the past seasons expert
ments confirm those Of former years.
The best yields were obtained from
seedlings made about the third week in
September.
4. The rotation experiments are just
beginning to give results, though they
have not run long enough as yet to
warrant definite conclusions. They do
show, however, that yearly applica-
ton Of twenty tons of barn-yard ma
nure to the acre is decidedly detrimen-
tai, in that it causes an excessive
growth of straw and failure to devel-
op kernel.
5. The rotation experiments In
which wheat is followed by some le-
guminous catch-crop, sown as soon as
the wheat is harvested ana removed
or plowed under in time to again SOW
the ground to wheat that same fall,
have only just been begun, the past
year being the only season in which
wheat has been grown on this plan.
The wheat seeded on soy-bean stubble
gave the best yields.
8. The test Of varieties is of special
interest the present year, III that 1t
shows the comparative hardness OF
some fifty leading varieties grown at
the station for several years. Out Of
the whole number only the Turkey,
Tasmanian Red and Crimean with

or more per acre.

Grasses in Alaska.-The southwest

by its wealth of grasses, many of the
grasses common to the United States
being found there. In the southeast

well. Nor are these the only fodder

Protection from Girdling. = Where
fruit trees are kept cultivated there Is
little danger from their being girdled
by mice or rabbits If the ground is free
from weeds or trash of any kind. But
around the edges of the orchard there
is often danger of the pests coming in
from the outside and doing their work.
Mr.. S. @. Rowell says in an exchange
that the greatest danger is likely to
occur in orchards that are in sod or
near woodland. Old trees seldom are
attacked, but young ones should always
receive some protection. Where moth
ing but mice are feared the simplest
and easiest protection is a bank of
earth heaped up around the base of
the tree to the height of foot. If this
has been neglected a solid tramping of
the snow around the trunks will turn
the mice away.

Gardens in Alaska.-Nearly every
village has number of gardens in
which, IN spite of very Indifferent cul.
tivation between planting AMI harvest
potatoes, turnips, ruta-bagas, cabbages,
cauliflowers, peas, carrots, radishes,
lettuce, onions, etc. are grown. Some
form of bedding the soil is practiced
nearly everywhere but the greatest evil
is the tendency Of crowding through
planting too closely. Close planting
seems nearly always the rule, and it
results in such complete shading of
the ground that the suns rays rarely
or never strike the soil. Poor drainage
is often an accompaniment of close
planting, and, with the rank growth
of weeds it is no wonder that meaeer
results are obtained.

some Wheat ErperImenta.

At the Kansas experiment station
some experiments have been carried
on in wheat culture, and the following
summary is published in bulletin II:
/. Wheat grown continuously with
out manure on a measured acre for
seventeen years in succession has pro-
duced an average yearly yield of 1857
bushels. The crop was completely win
terrified during three Of these years

Curing Glover on Racks.-In a Ger
man paper M, Maerckler gives a de-
scription of the methods of curing clio
yer and alfalfa on racks instead of in
the open field. This proves to be Of
great advantage in seasons where
there is much wet weather at haying
time, It is, Of course, more expensive
than curing the same crops in the open
field, but perhaps this cost is more
than overbalanced by the more nutri-
tive condition of the crops. There is
also an increased yield over field cur
ing, and this alone the author claims
will repay the extra cost. 1t is doubt
full if this method will ever pay in this
country. In some of the northern
countries of Europe it has for long
time been common practice to cure
hay on the tops of the fences, though
unprotected from the weather.
