6cientists and Explorers Think They
Sec a Gradual Disappearance.
Physical geographers are asking
whether we are now witnessing the
gradual disappearance Of glacial
period. It has been known for some
time that the ice is dwindling in the
Arctic, and 1t has now been shown
that the ice Is melting faster than it
forms In part Of the Atlantic and
perhaps In all Of 1t.
Among the observations that have
led to this conclusion concerning Arc
tic ice phenomena are the statements
Of Professor Garwood that the line
OF perpetual snow in Spitzbergen is
now 1900 feet above the sea; Of Won
Drygalski that the Greenland Zee is re-
ceding and that it would require a
more humid climate to advance the
glaciers in Y degrees north latitude,
where he observed them, to their for
mer extent, and Of Dr. Schei, who has
taken photographs in Grinnell Land Of
rock waste that had been borne along
ty glaciers, this waste being fifty feet
higher than the present level of the
glaciers.
The Antarctic explorers report that
the ice is retreating there. Mr.. Ferrar,
Of the British expedition, says that the
Ross ice sheet on Victoria Land has
retreated, on an average, fifteen miles
since Ross saw it. sixty-five years ago.
Captain Scott, commander Of the
British expedition, told the Royal
Geographical society a few weeks ago
that his party had found these
moraines or terraces of waste rock 800
feet above the present ice, and every
where there were signs Of the vastly
greater extent Of the ice sheet in for
mer times.
There are innumerable glaciers, but
In II degrees of latitude only four of
them discharge ice into the sea from
the inland. The dead glaciers" as
Captain Scott calls them, are practical
~ stationary and are gradually vast
ing way from the summer thawing.
Far down below the present ends Of
the glaciers and high above them on
the sides Of the valleys are the heaps
Of moraine showing the former extent
of these ice streams.
Sir John Murray, commenting on
this evidence, says that retreat of the
ice is certainly now in progress in Vic
tOria Land and probably all o7er the
antarctic regions. No opinion has yet
been expressed as to whether this phe-
nomenon Is due to greater radiation
and consequently more melting now
than formerly or to dryer atmospheric
conditions and therefore a smaller
amount of SHOW fall

Select Your Seed Corn.

The farmer who has a uniformly
good corn crop-is generally the man
who looks after his seed himself. He
does not buy from any dealer whose
circular happens to fall into his hands
and plant the seed without testing.
The careful farmer picks out his
seed from the best of his own crop or
that Of his neighbor, sees that it Is
properly dried and cared for during
the winter and tests it before planting
In the spring. The careless farmer
does not do these things and then
kicks because his crop is a failure. He
ought to hire man to apply some
good lusty kicks to his own person.
The seedsmen are not always to
blame. Some of them are honest. The
farmer should test his seed for him.
self, and if it be good give the seed
man his due; if, ON the other hand,
1t be bad, let him dispose of it the
best he can. A failing that growers
have is to delay securing their seed
until too little time is left to obtain
an adequate knowledge of it's real
value.

Harvesting the Wheat Crop.


ten to mend his canvas, to oil his ma
chine, to give needed repairs, is the
farmer who gets into the greatest
rush when the golden grain is ripened
for the shock. No wonder the work
crowds him. Two or three trips to
town, one or two days lost in getting
the rust off and in trying to make the
old worn canvas do another year is
enough to make any man rush when
his wheat harvesting should be going
on. Sometimes a trip to town is nee
essary because the oil has heen forgot
ten, or the buying of Irvine has been
neglected. Wheat harvest is not such
a task when the machinery, twine and
Oil have been made ready at odd hours,
so that the first days harvesting will
at least be as satisfactory as the sue
ceeding days.
Careless work in shocking wheat is
the rule. Usually harvest hands rush
into wheat section because of high
wages and expect to return to their
homes again in few days. Little do
they care for the character of the work
they do in the harvest field. A shock
with too many bundles on one side or
twisted in the center is almost sure
to twist and fall should rainy weather
come before threshing begins. If
these shockers are given a definite
plan for shocking, they will set up
shocks that will shed rain much bet
ter than the haphazard way.
If six bundles are placed in row,
the center bundles almost straight and
the others facing them, then two plac-
ed on each side of these and heads
well pressed together the shock will
support one or two cap bundles with
out twisting or falling. Ode bundles
may be. placed ON the side of these
when the occasion requires it. The
man running the binder can do much
toward assisting the shocker in get
ting even, well-balanced shocks by get
ting his bundles in even rows. Large
punches of bundles here and a small
number In another place makes bad
shocking.
Less wheat is left IN the field than
was left when the cradle or old reap
ers were used. The binder does ex-
cellent work, picking up and saving
the straw; still several bushels of
wheat are left in the field The exer-
else in gathering the grain, together
with the young. tender pasturage,
makes the stubble-field valuable for
hog pastdre or for sheep. The sheep
delight in running through the stubble
nipping the clover blossom, the tender
briar and the ragweed.
The excellent gains made by the
stock hogs that are getting but a
small amount of corn is sufficient to
convince the most skeptical that it
pays to make arrangements for pas
turing the wheat stubble.
Where light grain feeding is prac-
ticed, feed at night. This induces the
animals to use the early dawn and the
evening twilight for gathering in the
field. When more frequent feeding is
desired, give the ration at noon, when
the animals are shedding. The feed.

General Lee, presiding with his

Those who have grown clover sue
cessfully know that the crop requires
considerable moisture, and the lack of
moisture In the soil is usually at the
bottom of the summer killing of Glow
er. 1t is an almost universal custom
to sow what is known as nurse crop
with clover. Whether the practice is
right or wrong depends upon condi-
tons, and these conditions are the
quantity Of humus in the soil, which
enables it to conserve the moisture.
and the amount of moisture taken
from the soil by the nurse crop. Just
as the foolish orchardist expects a
crop of apples and crop Of hay or
grain from the same soil, so the av-
erage farmer expects a crop Of rye or
oats and crop OF clover from the
same soil. The nurse crop thus be-
comes the robber crop, Tor It takes
from the sou the moisture needed TO
