FIELD CORN.
Deep and Shallow cultivation--A Good
Wedding Tool.

Deep and Shallow cultivation--A Good
Wedding Tool.
a diversity Of opinion exists whether
It should be deep or shallow cultivation
In fo.l corn. Those who make weed
killing an object usually cultivate
deeply, and moisture is only an Incl
dent, remarks a writer In American
Agriculturist. l mean that they cult-
vate only when there are weeds to
kill
The Shallow Method.
To my mind the ideal cultivation Is
the shallow method. The planter marks
are usually narrowed over and then
crossways again before the corn comes
up. After coming up the weeder is
used about the third day. This tool
takes three rows at a time In action
il Is similar TO a harrow, but having
spring teeth does not drag trash. The
object Of this tool is to kill the small
weeds that are sproutlng, which it
does by the million. Another object
which II accompllshes is TO break up
any crust and to make a mellow sur
face 1t also stirs the soil ia the hills
around the small plants, which no 9TH
er tool does.
A Wonderful Tool.
However, the weeder cannot be used
without damage to the young plants
when they are the ldQst wet either
from rain or dew or even on a cloudy
day. In the hands Of a thinking man
1t is a wonderful tool that has a ca
paclty Of twenty TO thirty acres per
day. Some seasons l have known Of
fields that had no other cultivation.
Usually it is necessary after the plants
attain some height to use the regular
corn cultivator Not a large number
Of weeders are In use on account of the
skill required to use them, as but few
hired men can run them.
Leaving the Corn Weedy.
The standard method OF cultivation
Is the single row cultivator equipped
with -four, six or eight shovels. Some
times the gopher attachment Is used.
This consists Of n series Of knives run
ming just under the surface. This
method usually commences as soon as
the plants can be seen distinctly across
the field. The first cultivation is real
ly the most important one. Careless
help usually run the plow gangs far
enough from the corn plants, as they
are not so easily covered up that way.
The result IS a strip Of grass and weeds
a few inches in width the entire length
Of the corn rows. These no future cul-
tivatiou can entirely eradicate The
first cultivation leaving the corn weedy,
the later civilizations seek to overcome
the first mistake by getting closer.

done. as the plants do not cover up.

plants are stunted and the yield reduc-

Electric Line Notes Returned.

A. C. Eitzen, of Nezperce,
was in the city yesterday, the
object of his visit here being to
attend the meeting of the citi-
zens' general committee, which
organized the movement for the
the building of the lewiston
Nezperce-Grangeville electric
line. The meeting was called
for the purpose of taking final
action in directing that notes
placed in escrow as a bonus for
the electric line be returned to
the signers of the notes.
It will be recalled that at the
outset of the electric line move
ment. a subscription in the sum
of about 1000 was secured
for the building Of the line. The
subscription was in the form OF
notes which were placed in es-
crow in the banks Of Lewiston
and those of the interior towns,
the notes to be delivered if the
line was completed by June OF
1907. In as much as the line
has not been constructed, the
notes become of no force, but
could not be returned to the
signers until the citizens com
mittee, who deposited the notes,
directed that they be returned.
AT the meeting yesterday, thus
step was taken, and the notes
will now be returned. -Satur'
days Tribune.

Race Notes Of tne Carnival.

A sorrel horse ridden by
Elmer Henderson took a purse
both days of the carnival in the
2OO-yard events.
A roam saddle horse belonging
to Rhoades Bros, Of Pollock,
took down the purse hung for
the saddle horse race Saturday.
One of the most amusing
features of the carnival was the
"slow race" run on Saturday
afternoon. The horses entered
were a sight to behold and their
antics during the race brought
smiles to all faces. Second
Bones" was declared the winner,
coming in last by a couple Of
minutes.
The Kamiah parties, who stay
ed over from the carnival to run
a race Monday between their
bay horse and Dad Hart's roam
mare, did not succeed in reach
ing an agreement and left Tues
day for home after calling the
race off the day before. The
roam had plenty of backing here
and it is just as we'll for the
visitors that they did not run.
The roam took one race from the
bay during the carnival and 9
second race between them was
declared a draw.

The jury in the case against
Senator Borah at Boise returned
a verdict of not guilty, on the
first ballot Wednesday evening.
After the verdict was learned
the large crowd went wild with
enthusiasm and demonstrations
of all kinks were made while a
brass band played ''Hail To The
Chief" as Senator Borah went to
his hotel from the court room.
The result of the case is no sur
prise to most of the citizens of
Idaho and at this time the sena-
tor stands higher in the hearts
of the people than ever before.

Buy Much Craig Mt. Timber.

The deal of the Northwestern
Lumber company, in acquiring
timber lands on Craig mountain,
involves the purchase of fifty
thousand acres. This informa-
tion the Tribune secured yester-
day when purchases of $500
acres were completed by George
B. Hummell, manager and treas
urer, and D. Cameron. the Idaho
agent of the company.
The deals closed Saturday re-
lated to the John P. Vollmer, the
w. P. Hurlbut and the G.. w.
Thompson holdings and sixteen
claims owned by individuals.
Several days ago, the Tribune
reported, after the arrival here Of
Mr.. Hummer, that he would go
to the timber belt to inspect GER
tain claims. He was accompa-
MED by Mr.. Cameron and they
returned to the city Thursday
night. 1t appears to be the plan
of the company to make a
personal inspection of all claims
held under option and now it is
learned that the company has
SO, 900 acres held in this way,
the present preliminaries dealing
merely with the matter of in
spection and estimation. The
timber involved extends all the
way from Waha to Deer Creek
on the Salmon river and the
Cottonwood divide on the east,
embracing practically all of Craig
mountain.
In a few instances the pur-
chases made to date embrace the
holdings of companies. Now
the inspection will relate to the
individual holders of claims.
The latter will embrace the larg-
er part of the purchase to be
made.
The prices of the claims range
from 81, 800 to $4,000, according
to grade of timber. Tribune.

1.-THE WILLOW OAK.
Composition by Fifteen Year old
School Girl.

Towering far above all the other trees
for miles around, and stretching out its
limbs like arms to shelter men from
storms stood the willow Oak" For
centuries it had stood thus and would
probably have stood for many centuries
more. For centuries it had sheltered
man, beast and birds, from storm and
summer heat. Many an Indian arrow
had pierced its trunk, many an Indian
banquet had been spread beneath its
shade, and many wig-wam had there
been made and there too, had MANY a
poor victim lost his scalp.
Thousands of birds had rested there
and as many more had made it their
nome. | can see the cattle now as the
sun rises higher in the sky in not july
days seeking its shade, and then wade

tailest man could reach were initials
and names carved by those who have
long since crossed the river. Children.
happy, gay, light hearted children. had
played beneath its shade, and strong
men made great business propositions
there. Many secrets knew the old tree
and many it could have told.
Several years ago a severe wind and
hali storm swept over this section.
which will not soon be forgotten. Many
OF Its limbs lay scattered on the lap of
earth, and many of its companions Law
around torn up by the very roots. The
sunset clear; alasl the last sunset il was
destined to see. All that night the
signing of the wind through the branches
sounded as though a little child was
mourning and great drops of water fell
from the leaves as though the old tree
was weeping; perhaps it was, perhaps
1t was weeping for it's companions living
around him. And who can saw hut
what it heard and comprehended what
party of wood cutters had said be-
meath its branches that very evening.
The next morning party of wood cut
ters emerged from the woods and wend-
ed their way toward the oak. All day
long the heavy blows of the axe sound
ed against the trunk. Just before sun
set 1t tumbled slightly and then was
seen to sway back, back and forth.
