Oil Used to Lay Dust.

For several years oil has been used
in Southern California towns to lay
the dust in the streets in summer and
on the roads in the country. There oil
has long ago ceased to be an expert
ment as a dust layer, and the people
say it is a splendid roadmaker. When
the oil first touches the dust-covered
street it spreads out among the tiny
atoms pretty much as does a drop of
oil precipitated to the surface of water
in a bucket. When quantity Of oil has
spread and the surface of the street is
covered the oil gravitates down
through the dust and dirt and solidifies
or cakes the entire surface. and a sun
dries out and hardens the surface, and
a splendid road is the result, almost as
hard as asphalt, and with all the dust
and dirt imprisoned under the hard up
per crust made by the hardening of the
oil-soaked top dirst and dust.

Manuring wheat.


In recent bulletin on the manuring
Of soil. Prof. John Fields of the Okla,
homa Experiment Station says:
In seasons when there is an abund-
ant summer rainfall, manure plowed
under will decay and settle down. On
the other hand, in dry seasons, and
especially IL the soil is not well cult
waited soon after blowing, manure
which is plowed under will keep the
soil open and make it dry out easily.
The seed then goes into a dry soil,
terminates poorly giving thin stand,
and starts off the wheat in a weakened
condition.
This makes the manuring Of land
sown continuously to wheat difficult,
and in such cases, it would appear that
a top-dressing, we'll worked into the
surface of the soil, would be the best
and safest practice.
Attempts to follow Kafr corn or
sorghum with wheat have very often
resulted in failure. "Kafir corn ruins
the land" is an expression frequently
heard in conversation with farmers.
When the matter is studied, it is found
that, after all, it is largely question
of the supply of moisture in the soil.
Kafir corn grows a large mass Of for
age and uses the soil moisture up until
the time of wheat seeding. and the
wheat goes into a soil without sufii-
Client moisture for the termination of
the seeds and the growth of the plants.
Early blowing of land for wheat
does little. but prepare the soil so that
it will take in water and keep 1T.
Working the soil, keeping the surface
loose, helps out a dry season by hold
ing the water in the soil. Cultivation
at the proper times as much to be pre-
ferred to manuring when there is no
opportunity for the soil to fill with
moisture before a crop is to be planted.
The effect of a given crop on the
moisture content of the soil has more
to do with the yield of the next crop
than does the amount Of plant-food
removed from the soil.
Cultivation and manuring-as muclI
as possible of each-and study and
knowledge of the true effect of differ
ent crops on available soil moisture
are essential to q profitable and i'm.
proving system Of farming. The day Of
crop failures, worn out farms, and
purchase Of fertilizers should be put
off by the use of things at hand that
cost only energy, time, and labor to
utilize and possess.

WOOD TURNED TO STONE.
Curious Process seen at Pan-Am or: can
ExpoaitiO

ExPositio
One of the most interesting of the
exploits at the Pan-American eXposi-
ton at Buffalo may be seen in the
mines building. 1t consists of agatized
or petrified wood from the famous
petrified forest of Arizona. The speci-
mems consist of cross sections Of trees
polished to high degree of brilliancy
and showing most beautiful colors. In
some OF the specimens the petriied
bark still surrounds the section of the
tree. This petrifed forest looks more
like a stone quarry than a forest, as
the prehistoric trees are strewr around
mostly in broken sections.
These sections of trees usually are
found projecting from volcanic ash and
lava, which is covered with sandstone
to the depth of twenty to thirty feet,
and lie exposed in gulches and basins
where water has worn away the sand
stone Many scientific men, whose
study OF geology has been all that
years of toll and observation could
embrace, have visited this wonder OF
wonders and all seem to be lost scien-
tiflcally; their theories are like the
pieces Of silicified wood, no two alike.
1t is conceded, however, that this was
a tropical wood, transformed in pre-
historic era from a living, growing
forest to the present recumbent seq
tons of interblended agate, Jasper
jade calcide, amethyst etc. Although
silicified wood is found in many local
tiles never before was seen such va
riety of coloring, with sound hearts
of large trees and sound bark. While
the quantity of material is great the
sound sections are limited, and after
years of labor in selection of material
fit for working and the erection Of
costly machinery for cutting and pol
fishing it is and must ever remain
rare and costly article, since in hard
ness it is only three degrees from a
diamond. Steel will not scratch 1t nor
can it be stained by ink. Microscopical
examination reveals part or this
wood to be the genus araucaria or the
Norfolk island pine Of the southern Pa
cilic ocean. All the specimens eXamln-
ed show that the wood was under
going decay before being filed with
the various media which afterward SOL
idified. On some of the specimens
traces Of fungi (mycelium), causing
decay, may plainly be seen. The pro-
cess of petrifcation possibly resulted
from the tree being submerged by hot
geysers bearing silicon in solution, the
rich oxides of Arizona being inter
mixed with silicon. and the cell tissues
OF the wood were supplanted by the
silicious solution and then solidified.

Markotlng small TruIts.

Berry growers should soon purchase
their supply of berry boxes and baslI-
cts in which they expect to market
their fruit the coming season, says a
communication from the Oklahoma
Experiment Station. The tub or large
bucket and quart cup are the packages
that have been In most common use
in the berry market in Oklahoma, but
are giving away to neat woouen quart
boxes and crates. The cost of the
boxes and crates is very small and it
greatly improves the appearance Of the
fruit. The berries should be put in
the baskets just as they are gathered.
This prevents the necessity of further
handling, crushing and soiling the
fruit. 1t can then be delivered in bet
ter condition and is worth more in
dollars and cents to the consumer.
Berries that are placed in small bask-
cts as fast as they are gathered will
keep fresh much longer and will sell
for higher price than the berries that
were of the same quality when gath
cred but have been handled in bulk.
The increase in price of the berries
will much more than pay for the boxes
and crates. The ease with which Grated
berries can be sold is often of great
Importance especially in full market.
The claim is often made that fruit is
so cheap that it will not pay for the
boxes. This Is sometimes true but the
difference in price of the Grated and
uncrated berries is often the difference
between profit and loss in favor
Of the Grated fruit. There are several
kinds of boxes and crates used for
small fruits any of which answers the
purpose very well. A quart package is
the most common size used for berries.
These boxes are made of wood or
paste-board and are always given with
the fruit. The crates are made of
wooden Stats and usually hold 80 quart
boxes. These can be used during the
entire season when the berries are sold
in the home market, but If shipped new
boxes can be bought cheaper than the
old ones can be returned. The pack
ages should be clean and bright and
the packing done in good form. 1t is
often the package and packing that
sell the fruit as much as the merits OF
the fruit itself.

arc ready to acknowledge that this pest
can produce the skin irritation COM
planned Of by some residents in the

the worm is brittle and barbed, and
its action on the skin is regarded as
purely mechanical, rather than poison
Gus. 1t is yet to be determined wheth-
or actual contact with the worm is
necessary to cause the irritation, or
whether this may result through the
blowing about of the hair or fur by
the winds. The doctors incline to the
latter belief. However produced, the
Irritation and resultant sickness are
described as being severe.
