When Growing Crops Need Water.

In order TO determine just when
crops need water and when to apply
il so that they will not suffer dronth
nor be injured by too frequent or
too generous applications, requires
knowledge and experience that can
be gained only by practice and close
observation OF various crops under
irrigation. 1t is the experience OF
many practical irrigators that if all
unlimited supply OF water is avail
able crops more frequently suffer
from overirrigation than from drouth.
1t is difficult to determine when the
development OF the crop is first ar
rested on account OF lack of moisture
in the SOIL says Field and Farm.
Some expermenters maintain that
this point can be more definitely de-
cided by an examination OF the soil
than by the appearance OF the plant
as the latter shows evidence OF the
check in its growth some days after
it has occurred. Usually it is then
too late to prevent serious loss. as
the crop rarely RECEIVERS from such
treatment and seldom reaches the
development it would have attained
had it been irrigated at the proper
time. Plants will usually indicate by
change in color or by their general
appearance whether they need water
or when they have been overirri-
gated,
Most field crops turn to darker
green when in need OF water and the
leaves and stems show tendency to
droop or curl. The lower leaves as
sumo a pale yellow. A crisp or dead
appearance in the lower leaves is one
of the best indications that plant
needs water. Grain which has sui
fered from drouth may mature bit
the straw will be small and shoIt
and the kernels will be shrunken
and inferior in quality. Alfalfa and
similar crops, have the appearance OF
cured hay.

A Substitute for Cedar Posts.

A cattleman named George Wright
who has ranch near Holly, Prowers
county, says Field and Farm, tells
how he cuts in half big item in
fence building by making his posts
OF concrete. The cheapest fence
post we can get in eastern Colorado"
he says, costs US sixteen cents even
when bought in carload lots, which
makes fencing an expensive luxury
in the conduct of cattle ranch Ce-
ment is comparatively cheap and we
have sand in unlimited quantities.
About year ago | hit upon the idea
tried it and have found by actual
tests that fence posts capable OF
lasting an age, which will withstand
the destructive prairie fires, may be
made for eight cents each.
My men are now putting in all
their spare time making concrete
fence posts. The molds are of very
simple construction. A level plot of
ground is selected on which floor
is, built OF inch lumber, laid on
stringers. This section of floor is
as wide as the posts are long and
along both sides and ends are nailed
strips, OF inch lumber making big,
Hat. shallow trough. Then crosswise
are fastened other inch strips FIVE
inches high or as high as the posts
are to be wide. They are placed
slightly diagonal that the posts may
taper from eight inches at the bot
tom to four inches at the top.
Large spikes are then fixed along
the molds at intervals to make holes
for the wire fastenings and then the
molds are ready TO receive the con-
crete In mixing the concrete for
fence posts no crushed rock or gravel
is used but only screened sand in
proportions of about five parts of
sand to one of cement. 1t is mixed
dry at first and then enough water is
added to make slightly fluid sub
stance. Pieces OF barbed wire, cut
the length of the post are then placed
in the mold and the concrete is pour
ed over then and firmly tamped.
This wire serves to rc-enforce the
concrete and gives ii greater resisting
power After lying about twelve
hours the concrete is set and the
posts are ready TO be taken out
while the molds can be used for a
second batch. Owing to the scare
ity OF timber insall parts, OF the coun-
try concrete is quite generally used
for building purposes, but SO far as
know ! am the first person to use
it in making fence posts. | am very
well satisfied with my experiments
and intend to keep up the manufac-
ture.'

cause of all babies who cry and are
treated for sickness, when they really
are suffering from hunger. This is
caused from their food not being as

LOCAL ELEVENS

the local college season - a thing OF

that IL has not yet shown its best tricks,

ACTION ON DRAGo DOCTRINE
American Conference Refers IL TO The
Hague Tribunal without
RecOmm n dation.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug. 22-The Inter
na tional American conference today
adopted. with a slight technical modifica-
tion, the Mexican convention relative to
the exercise Of the liberal professions.
The resolution recommending the submits
sion OF the Drago doctrine on the matter
OF the use Of force for the collection of
public debts to The Hague tribunal was
adopted unanimously. The preamble states
that no definite conclusion was proposed
by this conference, composed exclusively
of representatives of American countries,
but that the principles in question should
be passed on by an assembly composed of
representatives OF all nations. as the prin-
ciple affects the internal sovereignty and
rights to nations. 1t further expresses the
opinion that the declaration should be ex-
tended to cover all controversies having
pecuniary origin. The resolution recon-
mends that the governments represented
in This conference consider the point OF
inviting the seeond conferences of The
Hague tribunal to, consider the question of
the compulsory collection of public debts,
and In general means tending to diminish
between nations conflicts having ex-
cluslvely pecuniary origin"
The report Of the committee on location
of the next conference will adhere to the
proposition for the choice of Mexico City
for the next conference, but II will be
| accompanied by recommendation in favor
of Buenos Ayres for the conference OF
1910, the centenary of the several South
American republics
