The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1900-05-05

A number Of years. ago experiments
were made at John Hopkins' Univer-
sity to determine how many particles
there are in q gram of loan soil. The
result was rather startling from q
mathematical standpoint. It wal con-
cluded that there are in that amount
Of soil 3,740, 000. 900 particles. We do
not know the process by which n
conclusion was arrived at, but Ger
tainly 1t was not by actual count
However, the result was doubtless ap-
.proximately correct. The number 10
far beyond human comprehension. For
this reason we are never able to fully
realize the principles Of capillary At
traction. Each n Of these exceed
ingly minute particles is surrounded
by a film Of water still more minute
as to its thickness. but between any
two particles there is a minute space
filed with air. and these spaces exist
everywhere above the water level IN
the soil. When these spaces are filled
with water the roots OF most OF oul
farm crops cannot take food, but WILL
rot. The necessity for admitting air
to the soil is thus apparent. Stirring
these soil particles pushes them so Tar
apart that the water films are not con-
tinuous from one particle to another,
and the evaporation is thus stopped
till the particles again settle back to
q more compact arrangement

Unable value to every mar that wants

# The opening up Of the Alaskan gold
fields promises to create a new mar
ket for fruit. The fruit raisers on the
Pacific coast are especially hopeful,
believing that they will be In q posi-
ton to do most of the supplying. The
building of railroads into Alaska Will
mean the necessity for hiring large
numbers of laborers. The opening OF
new mines will create numerous min

Alaska bids fair to produce much OF
the food stun it needs. yet it will GER

fruits of any kind will be extensively
produced, even on the islands on the

go to this new region will be fruit
eaters, because they will be mostly

We believe the Pacific coast fruit
growers are right in expecting a new
market for their tree fruits In the

q Corn.

] Whether or not it will pay a man to
plant Kafr corn will depend ON the
state, and locality in q state, In which
he resides, It must be remembered
that Kaf1r corn is q blessing to farm
ers who reside in states with dimin-
ished rainfall or in localities in states
where rainfall comes at the wrong
time of the year to greatly benefit
the growing crops. In states where
Indian corn can be grown to perfec-
ton it will not generally pay to grow
Kafir corn. We give this word Of eau
ton at this time, because there is a
tendency to judge a plant by it's value
in some one locality. For Kansas. Ne
lbraska, and wherever the Indian corn
crop is cut short by drouth, Kafr corn
should be extensively grown. 1t will
stand drouth better than Indian corn,
and it's leaves will remain s%ucculent
for a long time after the leaves Of In
dian corn have become dry and about
worthless. But even with Kair corn
early planting is best on account OF
the added amount of moisture it gets
from the spring rains. Once estab-
lished, it sends down its roots into
the moist earth below and can stand
the ordinary drouth of u western
sumner.
