their pollen. The bearing of soil mois-
ture upon this question is quite plain,
and where there was All insufficiency
of moisture it was to be expected
that the development Of the whole
plant would be more or less arrested.
whitening of the tassel was found to
be not generally the direct cause
of failure to fertilize, for only tassel
here and there withered and there
was all abundance of pollen for all
needs. Observations seem to indicate
that fertilization failed to take place
oftener through arrested development
of the silk than through whitening of
the tassel Both were the result of ex-
treme heat and lack of moisture,
but poorly filled ears were found OH
stalks whose tassels had produced all
abundance Of pollen.

THE SIROCCOS.

In Northern Africa are neither
mountain ranges nor forests, a tropic
sun pours it's fierce rays upon the Lib
yam desert sands and as the wind blows
over the desert it accumulates vast
amount of heat. Meeting with no OBJ
structions in it's onward flow across the
desert and then over the Mediterranean
Sea, it's hot breath deals destruction to
Malta, Sicily and Italy.
Either range of mountains or a
heavy forest would defect this hot cur
rent upwards; mixing with the colder
air Of the higher strata, the temperature
would be reduced and colder current
forced to the surface.
The Mexican sirocco has clean
sweep as it moves northward over
Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma, not
range of mountains nor forest belt to
obstruct it's passage. 1t reaches Kan
sas, Nebraska and other states, accumu-
lating heat all the way, and those
who have felt it's breath realize
it's terrible character.
Extensive plantations of forest trees
in heavy east and west belts, especially
upon the higher ridges Of the states
along it's course, will be an effectual
and only relief.
This can only be done by the COM
bined efforts of the national govern
ment, each individual state and the
farmers and land owners of the entire
region, reduction of taxation upon
lands so planted in timber.b .bounties by
the national government, seeds and
trees to be supplied of suitable charac-
ter, and practical instruction by the
Forestry Bureau. When the land
owners are assured that practical forest
planting means profitable return in
after years, and that the demand for
good timber will always continue, they
will be willing to do their part as the
states and nation do theirs.

hot and dry the weather may be.
In order to arrive at some definite
figures relative to the amount of
available soil moisture necessary to
keep corn alive, tests were made upon
parts of fields where the corn was
badly burned and showed signs of dy-
ing completely. 1t was found that
corn could not live under normal at
mospheric conditions when the mois-
ture in the first foot of soil dropped
below six per cent, and the amount of
moisture necessary to keep an average
corn hill alive may vary from five to
eight per cent according to the con-
dition Of the atmosphere The tassel
will generally die when the available
moisture drops below eight per cent.
On the whole, observations seem to
indicate. that to make an average
yield of corn the moisture in the first
two feet of soil should never drop
below ten to twelve per cent. And,
further, conditions here during the
past summer have conclusively proven
that by careful and proper attention
to cultivation the corn crop need never
suffer to any extent for want of mois-
ture, except perhaps upon few small
sandy spots
Another question to be answered
was, why were so many ears only par
TALLY fertilized? To fully account
for this phenomenon botanical study
Of the agents and Of the process of
fertilization is necessary, together
with study of the effects of drought
upon the tassel and silk. Now, un-
derstanding that it is necessary for
the live germ of pollen grain from
the tassel to find it's way through the
medium of the silk to the corn kernel
that is to be, before fertilization can
take place, and that each kernel must
be independently fertilized through
it's own thread of silk, we can read
lily see that if for any reason the
threads of the silk are not all proper
ly developed or pollen fails to reach
them there will be just so many gaps
upon the corn cob. Under normal
conditions nature makes no mistakes,
there is all abundance of pollen, the
silks are in receptive condition at
the proper time and few grains escape
fertilization. But this year the sud
den and decided change from rather
wet weather to extremely high tenn
growth that in many cases the tassel
withered and died before pollen could
be produced. In other cases the de-
velopment of the cob and the appear
ance of the silk were so retarded that
all the pollen had fallen off before

the field had been cultivated only once
after the rain, but was in a fair con-
dition. The uncultivated strip was
very hard upon the surface and quite
badly cracked open. Moisture deter
limitations were again made as in the
first instance, and very remarkable re-
suits obtained. The samples of soil
were taken upon the same level and
within one hundred feet of each
other. Three tests were made in sssh
case as follows:
Cultivated soil, July &c. 1st foot l9.SOqc 2nd
foot 1880.
Cultivated soil, August 6, 1st foot 15.2lqo 2nd
foot 1885.
Cultivated soil, August 18, 1st foot 1880 2nd
foot 2245To.
Average, 1st foot II $3.50 2nd foot 1895.
Uncultivated soil, July 26, 1st foot 1268G
2nd foot 1906
Uncultivated soil, August 26, 1st foot 1896
2nd foot 1276Hc.
Uncultivated soil, August l3, 1st foot 11.44T;
2nd foot 12229c
Average, 1st foot 11.s19c 2nd foot IL 269.
Difference in favor of cultivated soil, 1st foot
$3.50 End foot 1886.
These figures show very conclusive
ly that the physical condition of the
surface may very materially affect the
percentage of moisture retained with
in the soil in the region of plant
growth and what all important effect
one cultivation, and not really good
one at that, may have in contribut-
ing to the conservation of moisture
by hindering the formation of
crust and breaking the capillary con-
nection between the surface and the
soil beneath. The important point
to be aimed at is perfect capillary &C
surface, where it must be arrested,
and the above figures show that this
can be done through disarrangement
of the soil particles by means of the
cultivator. On the lighter soils this
can be done with comparative ease,
but to get heavy clays and gumbo in
to fine condition is often difficult
matter. But if conditions are care
fully watched and the cultivator put
to work at the right time after each
heavy rain, good results can be OBJ
tanned. A large humus content of
the surface soil very materially i'm
proves the. friability of heavy soils
and adds much to the efficiency of
the surface for conserving moisture
This was very strikingly noticed up
on a field,a portion of which still con-
tanned large amount of decaying
vegetable matter from the original
prairie sod. The Importance of keep
ing up the humus content of the
surface soil cannot be too strongly

Wisconsin is talking OF adopt

every loye-vaccinated couple to
undergo a physical examination
before they can secure a mar

posed to stamp out marriages
which may breed idiots, crimi-

an examination which every life

PETIT JURORS US. THE NEWS

The Beltrami News, with its
customary disregard for facts,
last week dished up more buzz
zard soup, and said the Walker
tax title case was decided in favor
Of the pine men, when as the
readers of the PIONEER know,
the Judge has not rendered his
decision in the matter. The
News also comes after County
Attorney Street for playing in
the hands Of the pine barons.
We all know what the News
thinks Of Mr.. Street, but8a brief
glance backward conyinces MS that
the News has never yet reflected
public opinion. The News has
expressed it's opinion Of our
county attorney; now let US see
how the recent petit jury regards
him. OF course it is unWise to
set up their humble opinion
against that of the News the
official mouthpiece of the pure in
heart. The following resolution
adopted last week explains itself:
RESOLUTION.
The undersigned petit jurors, serv-
ing at the term Of the District Court
in the county of Beltrami, hereby
adopt the following resolution ex-
pressive of the services Of County At
torney Street in the matter of the tax
proceedings against the land of Il. B.
Walker: 81
Resolved, that we appreciate that
to w. f. Street, our county attorney,
the county of Beltrami owes debt OF
gratitude for his able services rend-
cred in preparing and arguing the
case of the state and the county In the
tax proceedings against 7. B. Walk
en-, and we recommend him to the peo-
pie Of the county as being an officer
vigilant and honest for'the interests
of the people as against the Timber
Barons who are trying to get off all
the timber without paying their taxes.
