quit BURNING STRAW.
A More Economical Way Of Disposinl
of This Waste on the
Farm.

The old wasteful habit Of burning
all the straw on the farm is still fol-
lowed on those farms that do not have
a good deal of stock. Even where 1t
Is possible to utilize the straw by haul
ing 1t to the barnyard 1t is still burned,
because the owner does not figure out
that the fertility in the straw is worth
hauling the straw to the barnyard for.
He says that anyway the ash is left and
there Is some fertility in that. Taking
all in all he is under the impression
that he is getting about as much out
of his straw by burning it as in any
other way, unless he can sell 1t or feed
II to stock.
But all investigations go to show
that humus plays a much larger part
in the matter of soil value than we
thought. Every pound of straw should
be brought back onto the land in some
form. A number of cattle will trample
up a good deal Of 1t II It is thrown into
the barnyard from time to time. This
would be especially the case with some
barnyards we have seen and 1t would
at the same time greatly improve the
condition of the barnyards.
/ Get the straw and the manure mixed
together in the shortest possible time,
When the straw is mixed with the ma
nure It is surprising how quickly II
will go to pieces, says the Farmers Re-
view. One farmer has barnyard that
does not cover more than half an acre
yet into that every year he puts the
cornstalks from 40 acres of land. The
stalks become quickly pulverized under
the feet of the farm animals and in the
course Of months one fails to recognize
in the manure any cornstalks.
or course this means work, but Il
means also the keeping up Of the pro
ducing capacity of the land. It alsc
means the keeping up of the ability
Of the land to resist drouth Get thu
straw into the manure and then ge
the manure into the field as quickly a
possible after 1t is fit to go there.

the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt
thou serve."-Luke AS
The Period Of Time.
The lessons of the fourth quar-.
ter have carried us over about
175 years of the history of Judah
and Israel, from S96 to 721 b. G.
Years that are strikingly marked by
light and shadow, by the revelation of
God through His prophets and the per-
sistent and rapid decline of the king
dom of Israel. It was only about 1873
years after Israel's removal that Neb-
uchadnezzar laid Jerusalem waste and
carried her inhabitants captive to Bah
ylon.
The Kings and Prophets.
The two prophets Elisha and Isaiah,
figure largely in the lessons of the past
quarter. The first five are devoted to
Elisha, and incidentally, involve the
kingdom of Israel. Joram, the son of
Ahab. was king over Israel when Eli
sha became prophet in place of Elijah.
Elisha's ministry extended over peri
cd of at least so years, including the
reigns of Joram, Jehu, Jehoahaz and
Joash. or Johoash, kings of Israel. The
incidents Of the lesson on "The Wild
ow's Oil Increased took place during
the reign OF King Joram, as did, also,
those Of the lesson on elisha and
Naaman," and probably those of the
lesson on elisha at Dothan." Those
Of the lesson on "Ellsha and the Shun-
ammite" occurred probably much later
in his ministry, although the date is
unknown.
Isaiah was distinctly a prophet OF
Judah, as Elisha was OF Israel, and
began to prophesy about 760 b. c., or
some so years after Elisha's death.
Jonah Amos and Hosea filed in the in
tervening years between these two great
prophets. Two lessons are taken from
Isaiah, one concerning judah and the
other Israel. Two kings of Judah
are given special place in the lessons of
the Quarter: Joash, TO whom two les
sons are devoted, and the good king,
HeZekiah.
The Kings Of Judah and Israel.

tion of the one given in the last Quarter
ly Review. The length Of the reigns OF
the kings Is given in parentheses follow

THE BRowN-TAIL MOTH.
insect Which Is Ravaging New Eng
land and Gradually Working
Its Way West.

A little over seven years ago tile
brown tail moth, an insect pest which
has tormented the horticulturists OF
Europe for generations, probably for
centuries, was introduced into this
country. It first made It's appearance
In Somerville, eastern Massachusetts,,
and during the seven years the entire
northeastern part of the state has been
infested, the pest has crossed into
Maine and New Hampshire, and speci-
mems have been found as far distant
as st. John, N. B.
Inasmuch as nothing is being done to
check the spread of the insect except
upon the part of some individuals and
local authorities, there is little doubt
that the whole of New England will be
ravaged by the moth, and New York
and other states to the west can hardly
expect to escape the unwelcome vista
ton.
To be forewarned, howeverl Is to be
forearmed, and farmers and horticul-
turists who are on the lookout for the
pest and are familiar with its habits will
know how to deal with it when 1t ap-
pears.

PopULIsTs who are going to vote for Watson
in this neck of the woods are about as scarce
as Democrats who are going to vote for Parker.
Indeed, might say that they are more So, for
while l have seen one or two Democrats who
thought they might vote for the Wall street
candidate, have yet to meet asPopulist who
has any use for Tom Watson.-H. w. Young,
in independence Times.
If Mr.. Young lives until after election, he
will see that there are more Watson men in
Kansas than there were in 1896. A good many
Populists that year took the fool advice of some
of the would-be leaders and so-called Populist
papers, and voted for Sewall instead of Watson
Now, whole lot of them wish they hadn't
done IT.. Editor Young is funny fellow. One
week, he has a notion to support Roosevelt.
The next week, he has bigger notion not to.
And the third week, he has another notion-to
60 off all alone and flock by himself. We
would like to have Young give sensible reason
why Watson should not have been nominated,
and why the Populists of this state should not
support him. This thing of coupling Watson
with Abe Steinberger and insinuating that
Watson received Doodle from the Republicans
in 1896 is woise than foolish, and man of
Mr. Young's reputed respectability lowers him
self in the estimation of fair-minded people by
making such charge. Mr.. Watson was reg
ularly elected for vice.president by the Popu-
lists in '96. Can any one give good reason
why he should not remain on the ticket, or
why he shoxld not come to Kansas to speak?
1t is an easy matter to insinuate and cast surs,

upon Watson are disgusting, to say the least.
He cannot show by any act of Watson's that
he ever sacrificed principle for party success.

Last week, delegation Of miners sought an
interview with President Roosevelt, at Oyster
Bay, for the purpose of asking him to inyesti-

dent declined to see the miners. They left,
immediately, and reported to a convention of
miners. Shortly after the miners had gone,
President Roosevelt changed his mind and sent
for the miners. At first, the miners refused to
send another delegation, but, after mature de-
liberation, it was decided to send another dele
cation. No results have been reported as yet.

WHAT IS RUST?

Within the past ten days dozen or
more opinions have been expressed
around town as to what, if any, damage
is being done to the ripening crop by
the appearance of rust. In fact for u
week past the subject has been the pre-
vailing topic of conversation among
business men as we'll as farmers. With
the weather conditions prevailing dur
ing the week it is safe to say that even
where the rust has been found its ap-
pearance is not the least likely to affect
results, which IN any case would be off
set bv the increase in price. Every year
at this time there are reports of damage
and destruction of crops. Last year we
had the same pessimestic opinion drift
ing over the state and when the crop
was harvested the result showed they
we're not based on anything to justify
them. 1t is the same every year. The
farmers and business men are naturally
anxious because the crop means almost
If not everything to them. The appear
ance of rust made them nervous and
apprehensive and as may naturally be
expected the reports were over esti-
mated, and farmers are quite likely to
find when their crop is threshed that
the yield fully comes up to their ex-
pectation.
Realizing that in numerous instances
the presence of rust in the Valley coun-
ties has affected and diseased the wheat
crop we reproduce the following article
containing interesting facts relating to
rust in its connection with the growing
crops from Prof. Bolley, of the state
agricultural college at Fargo:
.Just now there is much talk about
wheat rust, and many strange, not to
say queer statements which one reads
leads me to think that many people
are little hazy as to what really causes
rust. The cause is as we'll known to
many as is the common fact that trees
usually grow we'll in fertile soil where
there is a moist warm climate. Rust
grows from spores (seeds) and in the
absence of the spores there can be no
wheat rust, regardless of what may be
the soil or climate. The spores in
countless numbers, from the red dust
masses which blow from plant to plant.
The real rust plant is parasite and
like smut of wheat grows in the inside
of the straws. The spore masses, rust
spots, on the leaves and straws, break
out about ten or thirteen days after the
first infection. The two distinct species

where the weather or atmosphere comes
in. If there is no moisture IN the form
of dew or rain to wet the wheat leaves
and stems, the rust spores cannot
sprout; hence cannot infect the wheat.
If the weather is damp and muggy for
few hours just at the proper period Of
growth of the crop and of the rust,
there is sure to be a large general in
fection comes early. the crop is ruined
because the vitality of the attacked
wheat is soon exhausted by the internal
growth of the rust fungus and through
rapid loss of water from the broken
places in the epidermis or skin of the
wheat plants. When the black spores
! form they rupture the epidermis of the
straws very badly, thus allowing the
rapid escape of moisture from straws.
People in this state and Minnesota are
doing much harm to wheat growers,
every time they plant barberry bush.
This ornamental shrub harbors in early
spring, one set of the spores of the
species of rust which causes so-called
''black" or "stem' rust. Botanists have
definitely determined that this set of
spores which grows upon the barberry
greatly increases the vigor of the ''stem"
rust.
The present season has been splen-
did one to develope rusty crop, be-
cause of the slow growth and moist at
mospheric conditions The wheat plant,
in other words, has had to stay long
time in the stage of development in
which it is most open to infection. Un-
less the first infection of field takes
place as early as the blossom stage rust
can do very little harm to crop. Most
people, however, fail to note this first
infection, which is usually rather in
conspicuous, often occurring on but u
few plants in some part of large area
of wheat. The spores from the first in
fectiop are carried to other plants from
day to day by the wind, and if moisture
and temperature are right during the
next ten days, ten days later the entire
field may be rusting as if scorched. We
observe that some varieties of wheat
and other grains are more open to rust
attack than others. This gives us
hopes that we may succeed in breeding
up rust proof strain of fife or blue
stem. The botanical department of
the North Dakota experiment station
has been doing some careful work along
this line with rather discouraging re-
suits, but we are just now doubling our
effort and with some hope. Good last
ing results along such agricultural
lines come slowly with many discourage
ments; but when achieved give in re-
turn great value to the state. Note,
for example, the great returns from the
treatment Of seed grains to avoid smut.
There are some wonderfully educational
plots at the college this year, showing
treated and untreated trials.
