SUGGESTED METHOD OF COMMUNICATING WITH MARS

That Mars is inhabited, scientists
are convinced, and for years efforts to
communicate with the planet, 85,000,-
900 miles away, have been made with
out avail.
That communication between our
world and the Martians will one day
be established, however, is practically
agreed, writes D. s. lands, a noted
scientist. Following the death of an
army officer-scientst there came to
light papers dealing with interplanet-
ary communication, which suggest a
way Of putting into execution the long
dream Of the scientific world,
This officer knew that rife ball
driven by army powder Travelled 1000
feet per second, and the projectiles Of
large cannon much faster. But they
fell after time, due to the attraction
of the earth.
He estimated that If a projectile
could be fired that would travel 263OO
feet per second it would overcome
gravity and travel round the earth at
a fixed height returning to its start

BARE SUMMER FALLOW.
Agricultural College Makes Interest,"
ing Experim snts.


By A. L. Knisels, Oregon Agricultural College
In taking walk over the farm at the
Oregon Agricultural college, looking for
interesting and instructive object les
sons, there may be seen north of the
old barn and just to the south of the
path leading to the orchard, an enclos-
ure containing some very interesting
experiments. This enclosure contains
an oblong box probably ten feet long,
three feet wide and three feet deep. In
this box are installed four galvanized
iron tanks or pots, each holding APPROX
imately 500 pounds of soil. Each pot
is provided with drainage spout SO
that all water teaching through the soil
in these pots may be collected and
measured and analysed.
Many farmers practice bare summer
fallow and the question often arises as
to the good or bad effects arising from
this practice.
Should the practice of bare summer
falIow be discouraged? 1t was for the
purpose of answering this question that
these experiments in the galvanized
iron pots were started.
In 1900 all pots we're filled with the
same soil thoroughly mixed 80 that
each pot was identical with tine others.
Since that time part of the pots have
been bare summer fallowed, whilst 9TH
ers have been growing crops, usually OF
grain. The teachings from each pot
during the rainy season have been care
fully saved and analyzed with the result
that invariably the teaching from the
bare summer fallow pots carried from
two to over six times as much nitrogen
as did the teachings from the pots that
had not been bare summer fallowed.
The first few weeks of teachings in the
fall carry most Of the soluble nitrate
nitrogen. The amount of nitrogen
leached out of the soil in one month in
the fall was equivalent to approximate
ly 6 pounds per acre in soil not summer
fallowed and over 40 pounds per acre
where the soil had been thoroughly
summer fallowed.
From the plant food point of view
bare summer fallow cannot be recon-
mended.
Summer fallow aerates the soil, con-
serves moisture and oxidizes the organ
ic matter of the soil, converting much
of the organic nitrogen first into ammo
MIA compounds and then into nitrate
nitrogen; that is into a form which cas-
lily teaches from the soil and is lost to
the farmer, whilst organic nitrogen does
not readily leach out of the soil. At
times bare summer fallow may be de.
sirable but usually it is to be con.
demned.

Red Texas onts.

The strain of the Red Texas oats
which has given the largest yield for
two seasons and which stands third in
order of yield for the four years trial
has been grown at the Kansas station
for four years and has seemed to i'm
prove rather than to deteriorate in
quality and yield. Oats are not consid-
cred well adapted for growing in tlsss
State. 1t is the general experience
that oats soon run out" In Kansas,
and farmers consider 1t necessary to,
secure new seed every two or three
years. The trials at the Kansas sta
ton, however, indicate that it Is not
only possible to maintain the quality
and yield Of oats, but also to even Inn
prove them by good culture and by
sowing only the best grade.

A Careful A,ge.

Royalties are much like other folk
after all. A pretty little story is told
in W. Beatty Kingston's "Men, Cities
and Events" which gives a pleasant
picture Of tho nEesent Kalser's father,
then Crown Prince of Prussia and ar
terward the Emperor Frederick III.
The incident took place at the nuptial
ball of the Pearl of Savoy" now the
Queen Dowager of Italy, the well-be-
loved Margherita. She was dancing
when her dress caught In the spur of
a cavalry officer, and was so badly torn
that wisp of gauze tralled from the
skirt along the floor.
Quickly the Prussian heir apparent
.ame up, produced a dainty little moroc-
co case, took from it tiny pair of
scissors, and kneeling down, deftly cut
away the wreckage. When her royal
highness had resumed her dance, Fred
erick William went up to Prince Hum
bert and craved permission to keep the
latter as a souvenir of the queen-to-be.
The request was cordially granted, and
the prince carefully folded up the bit Of
gauze and put it in his pocketbook.
King Victor Emanuel complimented
the young man on carrying such an out
fit, even In the ball room.
"The merit belongs to my wife, SIRE"
answered the crown prince Long ago
she gave me a pocket necessaire with
all sorts of useful things, needles,
thread, buttons, hooks, scissors, and so
forth, and made me promise to keep it
always about me. What took place
just now only proves that am a lucky
fellow to have such a clever wife to
look out for me-"

ing place in one hour and twenty-three
minutes.
Going farther, he learned that If a
velocity of $1,000 feet per second was
achieved, the projectile fired from a
cannon on the worlds pinnacle would
pass straight into space, escape the
earth's attraction, and instead of fall
ing to the earth, would drop upon the
planet nearest it at the time.
This theory, If executed, would make
communication with Mars possible. A
speed of $4,000 feet per second is not
impossible. When the gun and explo-
sive capable Of such velocity are dis
covered, scientists can drop projectile
upon Mars, beyond doubt.
A non-fusible projectile, partially hol-
lowed, could carry messages from this
world to any toward which it was d.
rected. The motions of the earth and
Mars being known, it would require but
little calculation to so fire the pro.
jectile that 1t would, when stopped. be
attracted toward it's intended destina-
ton.

Prenching and Practice.

Lord Lawrence, one of the famous
Viceroys of India, was an able and very
simple man. He used to do his work
in his shirt sleeves, and discouraged as
much as possible all state and cere-
mony. He was inclined to treat the
natives like children, although he al
ways strenuously insisted upon their
meriting and receiving justice and
kindness.
Lord Mayo went to India to sue
ceed him, and on the last afternoon be-
fore Lord Lawrence was to leave for
home he took the incoming viceroy fol
a drive. On the way he impressed his
doctrine of kindness very emphatically
and solemnly on his successor.
Lord Mayo thanked him for his help
fuf advice, and they returned in due
course to Government House. The syce,
or footman, was slow and awkward in
opening the door of the carriage, where
upon Lord Lawrence jumped out In a
temper and gave his ear an unmistak-
able tug. Lord Mayo turned to the
viceroy's aid with a smile.
MY first practical lesson Ia kindness
10 natives is undoubtedly an odd one, :"
he whispered.

Beans Fed to swine.

Beans can be med to swine only In
the cooked form. The pig seems to be-
unable to utilize beans which are at
all hard or firm, even though they have
been boiled for some time; hence 1t is
very essential that they be thoroughly
and carefully cooked, says R. S. Shaw,
Michigan. To supply single feed Of
half-cooked beans to pen of hogs robs
them of their appetites and relish for
their food, If indeed 1t does not put
them of their feed.
