Fall Preparations Of Land for Spring
Planting.
L. $. Department OF Agriculture
Bureau of Plant Industry.

Bureau Of Plant Industry.
The attention of farmers should
be called to three important
changes in agricultural conditions:
LIST. Marked climatic changes
since the settlement Of the south
ern sta,es-notsbiy less regularity
in the rainfall and greater extremes
in the temperature.
I'd. A rapid decline in the
fertility of the soil.
Sd. A remarkable increase in
insect enemies of the farms.
This change in agricultural con-
ditions requires a radical change
in the methods of farming, and
the farmer who does not move
along progressive lines will soon
conclude that farming does not
pay.
(Commeneing now aud contlnu-
lug through 1905 thus office Will
issue as needed bulletins through
the press, giving directions for the
field management OF the staple
farm crops.
FLAT BREAKING DEEPER THAN
USUAL.
1t is not, as a general practice,
advisable to break in the fall more
than one or two inches deeper
than customary, for the reason
that it will turn up too much
crude soil at once.
Breaking as above outlined may
even be detrimental unless fol-
lowed Immediately by the harrow,
clod.crusher or roller to pulverize
the surface soil to conserve mois'
ture. The soil rapidly loses its
moisture when the clods from the
blow remain uncrushed and the
farmer thus fails to secure the
best results of tillage, and in dry
sections it may cause the loss OF
q crop.
WINTER CULTIVATION.
When the field is left without a
crop the best soil conditions for
spring planting require that the
land be narrowed or disced at
intervals of about thirty days dur.
ing the winter, if the weather per-
mits. In the Panhandle, where
surface blowing of the soil inter.
feres with ordinary methods speci'
al directions are required.
The methods given for cotton
apply to preparations of soil for
corn and potatoes in every par
ticular and it is unnecessary to
repeat.
ROTATION OF CROPS.
One of the most important
features Of the cultural methods
advocated by the Bureau OF Plant
Industry is rotation of crops.
Consecutive single crop planting
constantly reduces the fertility
aud ultimately leads to poverty Of
soil. Under boil weevil conditions
rotation Of crops, especially plant
ing cotton after corn and COW.
peas every year, gives a field clear
of the boil weevil for planting and
better soil conditions for early
maturity Of the crop. Az far as
possible adopt system Of rotation
that will restore the soil TO it's
primitive fertility.
Determine at once the variety of
cotton and corn seed you will
plant next year, secure a sufficient
quantity for your use and store II

Japan Sends Commissioner
to Coast to Look Into
immigration Complaints

l. Aoyagi Of the japanese Depart
ment Of Agriculture, who has been
commissioned by his Government to in
vestigate all matters in this country
and British Columbia relating to the
migration Of japanese to this coast,
arrived here yesterday from the Orient
by way Of Victoria and is registered at
the Occidental His coming to the
United States was brought about by
the recent antagonistic comments here
and in the British province on the sub
ject Of japanese competition in the la
Dor markets. He VIII begin his in
Quiries Immediately,
During a conversation yesterday
Aoyagi said his Government was in no
way encouraging it's subjects to force
themselves on any other people AS a
matter Of fact, he said Japan is re-
stricting the emigration of skilled and
unskilled laborers and is only issuing
passports to merchants, students and
those Of the other higher classes.
'If IT is a fact, as claimed" said he,
that laborers are still coming into
your country. there perhaps is some
evasion of our laws, which it will be
my duty to discover during my investi-
CATION. viii make close study Of the
legislative questions bearing directly on
Japanese immigration. If 1 find condi-
tions that suggest wherein our laws
should be made more strict in order to
keep our people at home it is very
likely that my report to that effect viii
be carefully weighed by the legislative
bodies Of Japan and the law remod-
eled."
Aoyagi expects TO remain here for a
couple of weeks. He will then proceed
eastward, hoping before his mission is
ended TO have crossed the Atlantic to
England. In referring to the war and
the advance on Port Arthur, Aoyagi
said 1t was expected when he left
Yokohama that Port Arthur would be
in the hands Of the Japanese within
a period of eight weeks. These have
nearly elapsed.

HUMBLE HERO

wards a Street Sweeper

The life OF four-year-oId Ramona
Brun5e, viii be recognized by the gift
Of The bronze medal Of the California
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
10 Children. At the monthly meeting
OF the society yesterday Il was voted,
on motion Of President z. W. New
hall. 10 bestow the medal as the So
ciety's acknowledgment OF Janvrin's
brave act.
On May % a dozen small children
were playing in an Oakland street
when they saw a heavily loaded mar
Eet wagon bearily rapidly down on
them. All OF the youngsters escaped
TO the sidewalk in sareJy except the
little Brunje girl, who was seated IN
a toy wagon AMI could not get away.
The oncOming team was within few
Yards Of the child when Janvrin, who
was working near by, saw her danger.
At the risk OF ;is own life he dashed
in font OF the horses and lifting her
from the little vehicle bore her safely
aside. The child's wagon was instantly
smashed by the feet Of the horses.
In recommending the award Of the
medal 70 Janvrin, President Nevhall
voiced the sentiment Of all the direc-
tors present when he declared that the
society took especial pleasure in ac-
knowledging this act Of heroism on
the part Of a laborer, unframed In
rescue work. whose presence Of mind
and ouickness Of movement had saved
the life Of the child. even at the risk
OF death TO himself
The monthly report OF Secretary NJ.
J. White was listened 10 with interest.
II shows that the work or the society
has practically doubled within the last
two years, without any increase of Sec
retary Whites staff.
On motion OF Fairfax H. Wheelan
one Of the directors, a resolution was
adopted iDdorsing the work Of the
Board Of Health and Of Health officer
Ragan in their crusade for pure milk.
and Secretary White was instructed
70 communicate this action to the off,
Gals Of the municipal health depart
ment.
Wheelan spoke Of the good result OBJ
tanned even from the temporary cru
sade against impure milk that was
started by Inspector Dcckery several
years ago, saying that Dockery's work
had noticeably reduced the infant NOR
taiity rate all over the city From this
he argued that systematic work by the
Health Board in enforcing sanitary
conditions at dairies and distributing
centers would save a great number Of
infant lives now sacrificed because of
the dlthy surroundings from which the
milk is carried to city homes.
