times the heavy summer rains cut through the
terraces, and an unsightly gully is formed, but I
patch up the terrace and later the grass grows on
1T, when it is not easily broken through.
l consider the terrace at best a necessary evil,
for it Is a great nuisance in a wheat or oat field,
and | always pillow them down when these crops
are sown, and in a corn field, / like to plant the
terrace in peas.
/ have quit throwing up terraces with shovels
and hoes, except when crossing low places. After
marking the terrace with small pillow, / use a two
horse turn pillow, and throw four burrows together.
/ find that deep blowing and level culture is a
great help in protecting the soil from washing.
/ have succeeded best with terracing on a field
that had been sown in wheat and peas for three
years in succession, and each year broken deep
with three-mule disk pillow. This field has been
in cotton for the past three years, and the ter
races never have broken, and the field has not
washed.
I consider the Mangum system of terracing the
most perfect one, but it is too expensive for the
average farmer. / may have something to say
later as to the plan of laying off terraces.

Experience.

Messrs. Editors: I am glad to see the subject of
terracing discussed in your esteemed paper, for
/ consider the protection of our land from wash
ing, especially the cotton and tobacco fields, of
very great Importance to our farmers.
We commenced terracing in my nighborhood
about fifteen years ago. Some townships began
earlier than this. 1t is a plan that has proved
very popular with the farmers of Mecklenburg,
and a large proportion of the fields are terraced
now.
/ use the level terrace, and it is generally used
In our county. 1 prefer a hillside ditch to a ter
race with a fall to carry off the water. My idea
of a terrace is for the rows and terraces all to
be on a perfect level, holding all the water posi-
bic, and letting the surplus pass off in a thin
sheet, not collecting enough at any one point to
do any damage to the soil.
Now I realize that this is easier said than
done, but 1 think it is the best and cheapest plan
for the average farmer; and we should try, and
if we fail, try again, until we reach this ideal sys-
tenn. 1 confess that I am only trying, for some

CONDUCTED BY b. w. KILGoRE,


Messrs. Editors: The question of fertilizers we
have always with us; and few subjects are more
misunderstood by the mass of farmers. Many use
commercial fertilizers almost exclusively, while
others regard them with distrust and suspicion. 8
The fertilization of each crop must be a special
study; but a few general rules may be laid down.
One of these is that the fertility-the produc-
ing power-of any land depends upon, CD the
chemical condition of the soil, the amount and
availability of the plant food present, the aka
Unity or acidity of the soil, ETC.; CD the physical
condition, the filth, moisture-holding capacity,
etc; and probably go the bacteria present in the
soil. :
To maintain soil fertility both the supplies of
plant food and the physical condition must be
kept up. A soil in the finest filth would neces-
sarily be unproductive unless it contained the ele-
ments necessary for plant growth; and one
abundantly supplied with these might be unpro"
ducti1e if not containing enough humus to make
it retentive of moisture.
Commercial fertilizers may keep up the supply
of plant food in the soil, but they will not do
anything for its physical condition. To improve
this we must depend upon cultivation and the5use
of green and stable manures. These, however,
seldom furnish the different elements of plant
food Just in the proportions they are needed, so
that the additional use of mineral fertilizers may
be quite profitable.
Of these elements it is best as a rule to supply
the nitrogen from the air by the growing of leg
Ouu11ruIm.
For the general farmer it is therefore safe to
say that the main dependence should be placed
upon the growing of the legumes and the careful
saving of barnyard manures. These may be sup
plemented by commercial fertilizers, and if used
not as medicine for a sick soil. but as food for
hungry plants their use will be highly profitable.
This means that the farmer must understand
the elementary principles of fertilization and use
the fertilizers so as to furnish a balanced ration,
so to speak, for each of his crops.

The best investment is a postal or postage
stamp used to apply for the free catalogs of our
advertisers. These books are often worth several
dollars apiece for the information they contain.
The highest talent is usually employed in writing
and illustrating our advertisers catalogs, so that
they may be of the utmost service. Aside from
purely advertising matter-which of itself is of
ten Just what you most want to know about
almost every trade booklet contains technical in
,struction of rare interest and real practical value
The farmer and his family who send for catalogs
plans for the season are sure to succeed.

Naming the Farms.

As the Reporter has remarked on several occa.
sions before, the worst thing about the rural free
delivery is its destruction of the individuality Of
the country districts, many sections such as Neat
man, Mizpah, Wamedot, Max, Muf, etc., being
now known only generally as belonging to such
and such an r. F. d. route. Often these routes
take their names from some point in an outside
county, as Madison r. F. d. No. 4, Brim r. F. D.
No. !, or Rural Hall R. F. D.. No. 1, etc., and the
identity of many of our neighborhoods has been
lost. Now, we don't like this and we hope to see
our folks take on more largely to the pretty GUS
tom of naming their farms which has obtained
to some extent in the county. Oakland Farm is
the name of Sheriff r. J. Petree's place; Locust
Hill" is the home of Mr.. L. G. Ross, and "Pleas-
ant Retreat" the residence of Rev. P. Oliver,
while Mr.. W.. A. Petree names his home "Glen
View"
Let all our people name their farms and send
the names to the Reporter, that they may be pub
lished. 1t would interest everybody. The custom
is not only useful in determining the location of
our people, but is pretty, savoring of the good
old days of yore when our Southland was famous
for it's good cheer, hospitality and chivalry-

Notwithstanding the low price of cotton, it is
not improbable that the present year will be one
of general prosperity. 1t is an off year in poll
tics there are no campaigns, no general elections.
From these sources no disturbances will come to
business conditions. The business man, the pro-
fessional man, the farmer, and the mechanic is
each left to devote his time, talent, and attention
to the business of lettering his own condition in
the world, and it would indeed be surprising if in
dividual effort did not have a wholesome effect ur-
on the conditions of prosperity this year.-Gas-

Police Commissionership

New York, Dec. 29.-General Theo-
dOre A. Bingham of the United States
regular army, called on Mayor Nc
Clellan today. He said the mayor has
offered to appoint him police COM
missioner of New York City, and that

Their a Republican nor a Democrat,
but an American citizen.
Washington, Dec. 29.-General Theo-
dore Alfred bingham, who has been
offered the police cOmmissionership of
New York City, had the reputation,
when he was an engineer officer, of be-
ing one of the most active men in that
corps. He was born in Connecticut
about fOrty-six years ago and appoint
ed to the military academy from New
Hampshire, Sept. 1, 1885. All his ac-
tive service was in the engineer corps,
and many of the most attractive fea-
lures of the public grounds of Wash
ingtOn owe their inspiration and de-
velOpment to him. Notable among
these is the magnificent driveway
skirting the tidal basin.
After being detached from Washing
ton in 1903, General Bingham's next
duty was the direction of all the great
river and harbor works on the lower
lakes section. 1t was while engaged in
the discharge of the duties of this Of
fee that he met with the accident that
terminated his active service and re-
suited in an amputated limb.

WIDE OPEN GAMBLING
District Attorney Jerome Makes Sen
sational Talk While Trying
Pool Room Cases.

New York, Dec. 2e-The gambling
houses and pool rooms IN the city are
as wide open today as ever. and that
many of the employees in these places
are given positions by political lead
ers as a part of the patronage of their
district, was charged by District At
tOrney Jerome in the court of general
sessions today. There was a arge
number of pool room and gambling
houses cases on the calendar. and Mr..
Jerome appeared in person as the
prosecutor. It was when three men
who had been indicted for bookmak-
ing In an Eighth aveiue resort pleaded
guilty that the district attorney adj
dressed the court.
These men plead guilty and tell me
they are only employees" said he.
"They are what I term statesmen
criminals They are put into these
pool rooms by political leaders as a
part Of the patronage of their district,
and it is almost impossible to tell
whether they are politicians or crimi-
nails. Pool rooms and gambling houses
are at present as numerous as ever.
The police organize a series Of false
raids, dart into houses, wreck furni-
tUre, put a few gentlemen in durance
vile, and call it an attempt to get evil
dence. In this case 1 ask your honor
to impose a fine of 500 each, and
say If they cannot pay, the hacker Of
the game will. If he does not come
forward and pay will bring him here
myself in a manner that will surprise
him"
Fines of 800 were imposed in sew
eraI cases.

STRUCK BY A LIGHT ENGINE
George SheIburt, Signal Employe,
Seriously Injured a Mile West
of Castle Rock.

George Sherburt, a signal employee OF
the Union Pacific, was struck by light
engine about a mile west of Castle Rock
about 9 o. clock yesterday and sustained
severe injuries to the head and body. He
was brought TO Ogden and taken to the
Ogden General hospital for treatment
Ii appears that Sherburt, together with
his foreman, a. r. White, left Castle
Rock on a track Velocipede to attend 70
some trouble along the line west of that
station, and 1t was while rounding a
sharp curve that the engine came upon
them before Sherburt had an opportunity
to escape. White was sitting with his
face toward the rear, the direction from
which the engine was coming. White
had barely time to escape by jumping,
when he detected the engine bearing
down on the velOcipede Sherburt had his
back toward the engine and was thrown
VITA the machine clear off the track
A special train was pressed into service
to bring the injured man TO Ogden. where
an examination proved that Sherburt's
right leg was broken and that he had
received severe injuries about the face
and head.
A snOwstorm was raging at the time
the accident occurred and II IS claimed
that this prevented the engineer from
seeing the men on the track ahead until
he had rounded the curve.

EL0PED. BUT RETURNED
Romance in the Busch Family of st.
Louis-Will Be Welded at
Home After All,

st. Louis, Mo, Dec. 29-Announce-
ment was made today that Lieutenant
Eduard Scharrer of Stuttgart, Ger
many, and Miss Wilhelmina Busch,
daughter of Adolphus Busch, the brew
er, will be quietly married on New
Years day at the Busch mansion here.
This announcement came as a sequel to
the elopement of Lieutenant Scharrer
Bellevtlle, Ill, sixteen miles across the
river, which was frustrated by the fact
that they were unable to secure a mar
riage license at the late hour and there
fore returned to Miss Busch's home.
Lieutenant Scharrer arrived from
Germany last Saturday, and while
stopping at hotel has been a visitor
at the Busch home. He has not seen
Miss Busch since childhood. He is re-
ported to be 20 years old and she q
years.
The couple probably will spend their
honeymoon at Mrs. Busch's winter
home at Pasadena, Cal.
Adolphus Busch tonight stated that,
while his daughter was engaged to be
married to Lieutenant Scharrer, the
announcement that the wedding was to
take place next Monday was prema-
ture. He said that while New Years
day had been mentioned during a fam
lily conference in regard to the proposed
wedding, no date had been finally de-
cided upon, and that the marriage
would probably not take place until
later in the year.
