KNIGHTS OF KING ARTHUR
Hold Public Conclave At Library Hall
Wednesday Evening.

The Knights of King Arthur held
public conclave at Library nan
wednesday evening to which parents
and friends we're invited. This organ
ization is composed of boys from 10
wears of age upwards and was organ
lied by Rev. Brian c. Roberts about
a year ago.
The visitors, who were largely pa
rents of the members, were very much
pleased with the work of the order as
excmplified by officers and members.
The object Of the order is to interest
the boys in good deeds and teach them
to have good times in a way that Will
improve them morally and intellectu-
ally. To this end a course of reading
is prescribed which cannot be other
than beneficial in many ways.
The idea is certainly a good one, ana
the boys are to be commended for
the able manner in which the objects
of the order are carried out. Great
praise is also due DR.. Roberts, for its
success is due in large part to his care
full and painstaking efforts After the
conclave a reception was held at the
rectory and a pleasant hour was
passed in social intercourse. Refresh
ments of ice cream and cake were
served by the boys.

Early Tomatoes.

A truck gardener tells that this is
the way he raised early tomatoes: He
took a dry goods box 2 by feet
and eight inches deep. In each corner
of the box he set piece of two inch
pipe, so that he could water the plants
from the bottom, pouring in the water
and letting it permeate through the
soil, which was composed Of sandy
loan put into the box after the bottom
had been covered to the depth Of three
inches with well rotted and sifted sta
BILE manure. The seeds were planted
and lightly covered and the soil kept
moist, but not wet. In one week
after planting the green tops appeared,
and in three weeks they were trans
planted into a similar box, being
set an inch deeper than they grew
in the first box. They grew In the
box in sheltered places for three
weeks, when they were ready for the
garden.

MODERN IMPLEMENTS.
Mako II Possible For the Farmer &c
Dispense With Extra Help.

Mako 1t Possible For the Farmer to
Dispense With Extra Help.
The scarcity of help on farms may
ultimately drive landowners to greater
economy and to a more general use Of
devices and conveniences which light
en- the work. It is surprising how
many aim to get along by muscle power
alone, never trying any other method,
which might save half their work.
An old farmer says that his neigh
bors called him lazy when he first
brought hay loader on his. farm. and
when he rugged up cable and used a
trip hay fork to unload his hay he had
a crowd Of neighbors around him,
"just to see how it worked"
The economical and up to date farm
err counts all of these labor savers just
that much of his equipment, and it is
only by using them that he Is enabled
to meet present conditions. The walk
ing stirring pillow and walking cult
vators are back numbers. Now the
sulky or gang pillow is used, and three
big, lusty horses will turn over three
or four acres day.
A manufacturer has got out rotary
harrow, which is attached to the pillow,
and the land is turned and narrowed
at one operation. If any man Is just1-
fed in venturing money 1t is the farm
err when he invests it In up to date
tools and implements for more rapid
and better work on the farm.

WESTERN Wild BREAKS.

Experiments TO Determine Their Use-
fuIness to the Prairie Farmer.
The sudden ruin that hot winds
sometimes bring to growing crops In
parts of the west is well known.
Blowing strongly across the unob-
structed plains, these winds may In a
few days blast all hope of even par
tial harvest. This is particularly so In
the lower portion Of the central plains
region and in years of unusually low
rainfall. Here the winds most to be
feared blow from the southwest or
south. In the northern prairie region
the farmer is exposed to the hot
chinook wind, which sweeps down
from the Canadian mountains. This
either dries out growing crops or If ii
prevails before the danger Of killing
frosts is past causes loss through urg
ing vegetation forward prematurely
Cold winter winds also do great in
jury to crops, make the climate more
severe for stock and men and Interfere
with an even covering of snow upon
the ground. This is true from Cana.
da almost to the gulf.
In southern California dry winds
from the north and northeast sweep
down from the Mohave desert with de-
structive results. Coming in June
these winds may reduce the wheat
yield of unprotected fields to almost
nothing. Windbreaks Of eucalyptus and
Monterey cypress. now In such com
mon use to protect orange groves and
orchards, long ago convinced possess
ors of highly valuable irrigated land
of the value of tree planting for pro-
lection purposes.
But there are two sides to the wind
break question. Some prairie farmers
declare positively that belts of Usage
orange, for instance, are nuisance u
Others cite figures to show positive
benefit. A farmer who lives near
Downs, Kan. gives his yield of corn
from a field protected on the south by
a row of tall cottonwoods as six bush
els per acre more than in places where
there is no protection. About fifteen
acres are benefited in this way. 1t is
highly necessary that the windbreaE
should occupy only sufficient land tc
offset this benefit.
An Illinois farmer sums up his OBJ
servations upon this matter thus: "My
experience is that now, in cold and
stormy winters. wheat protected by
timber belts yield full crops. while
fields not protected yield only one-third
of crop Twenty-Five or thirty years
ago we never had any wheat killed by
winter frosts, and every year full
crop of peaches, which is now rare. Al
that time we had plenty Of timber
around our fields and orchards. now
cleared away"
The United States forest service pro-
poses to find out just when and how
much windbreaks increase the yield
of crops Measurements and tests will
be made and elaborate data will be
collected by experts who will have
charge of the study.
