CROP ROTATION 10 sAv. rln LAM

One Of the most important I'D.
dresses given at the white house
conference on the conservation
of natural resources. was that BY
James J. Hill who spoke on ''Ths
Natural Wealth Of the Land and
Its Conservation" Mr.. Hill said
in part:
Our agricultural lands have
been abused in two principal
ways: first by single cropping
and second by neglecting fertil.
ixation. Il 10 fortunate for us
that nature is slow to anger and
that we may arrest the con.
sequence Of this ruinous policy
before it IL too late. In oil parts
Of the United States. with only
isolated exceptions. the system
Of tillage has been to selectl the
crop which would bring in most
money at the current market rate.

to move on to virgin fields Is soon

though diversiAcation Of industry
and the rotation of crops have
been urged for nearly . century
and are today taught in every
agricultural college in this coun-
try.
The two remedies are - well
ascsrtained - is the evil. Rota.

tillizers act - tonics upon the
soil. We might expand our re-
sources and add billions Of dollars
to our national wealth by con-
serving coil resources. instead Of
exhausting them - We have the
forests and the contents Of the
mines. For there 10 good author

THE HEAD HUNTERS.

by the Dyaks.
The head hunting propensitles OF
the Dyaks are well known to the stu
dents Of ethnology. The leading
thought In the taking OF heads is the
idea that the conqueror could secure
the soul" OF the conquered and add Il
10 his avn. increasing thereby his
couragt md strength and consequent
ly his reputation as hero as long as
the head OF the victim remained In
his possession. II Ii therefore the
custom Of the people after battle TO
wrap the severed heads in a loose
crate OF rattan and smoke them over
a IRE Of damp wood and leaves. Then
they hang the CHASTITY trophies in the
houses in bundles having an uncanny
resemblance 10 gigantic clusters Of
grapes, each head forming a berry.
These war trophies are considered by
the Dyaks their most sacred posses
sions and are guarded with the ut
most jealousy and vigilance. Their
loss would mean not only consldera-
bic decrease Of personal prestige. but
also the loss Of part Of the Soul
that is. Of courage and strength.
/ have often had the questionable
privilege Of sitting under the bundles
of heads In the Dyak houses as the
seat Of honor and of examining them
closely. Anakoda Unsang, who claim
ed to be my friend. was not a talka-
tive man, but when reused from his
usual stolidity would relate the cir
cumstances Of many a battle and vic
tory in the past with apparent gusto.

Joe Nitschke has all the idle
urchins in the neighborhood out
looking for wild goose eggs. He
says the present crop of wild
geese are just a little too wild.
that they are in too great a hurry
and show no disposition to slow
up when he is trying to get a
shot. 1t is the intention of Mr..
Nitschke to plant the eggs next
spring and start a goose ranch.
He will clip the wings of the tame
wild geese and allow amateur
sportsmen from Condor and The
Dalles, who can't hit a balloon at
twenty PAGES, to bang away at
the domesticated web-footers at
so much per shot. He figures
that it will amuse the hunters
without injuring the birds and
add many ducats to his stock of
worldly wealth. He is only pay

The celebrated impresario Schur-

provisos which he insisted on insert
Ing. In one contract Tamagno exacted
that he should be allowed thirty-seven
candles each night in his dressing
room. Schurmann was amazed that
even great tenor should require so
much illumination, but he consented.
When Schurmann visited Tamagno's
dressing room he found only two can
dies alight. On another occasion he
discovered only one. Inquiries led to
the discovery that the provident tenor
saved up the other candles and sold
them at profit.
Schurmann said that a small boy
whose father was a great friend Of
Caruso's, having asked the tenor for a
signed photograph, received as reply,
Certainly; go to my photographer; he
will sell you a photograph, and II you
bring that to me will write on it
