"In dry spells all the water that the

washing.
"The orchards contain 700 pear, 200
cherry, 800 peach and few apple

School Notes.

Last Saturday the Morris foot ball
boys were again defeated by the Glen
wood team by score of 16 too. The
ground was covered with mud and
snow and only the outside lines were
marked out so we had very slow
time waiting for downs to be measur-
ed and men to revive. Neither side
scored the first half which was an hour
in length. After fifteen minutes of
rest both sides started in hard, Glen
wood resorted to her old trick Of
punting and forced the ball over the
line for touchdown. Their goal
kick failed. Both sides once more
lined up and after about ten minutes
play the Glenwood boys forced the
ball to within two inches of the goal.
Morris held and then Morris secured
the ball the Glenwood team having
failed to make their downs. Ander-
son punted clear to the 55 yard line
where the ball was again put in mo-
tion. Finally on one of Glenwood's
punts the ball was lost by Treischel
and Glenwood made another touch
down. Darling was knocked out and
had to be removed from the game.
Sather was placed at full and Nelson
went in at tackle. Again the Glen
wood boys secured touchdown and
made the goal kick making the score
Is to 0. The game was over and
Glenwood was victorious-who cares

girls who met us, the defeated at the

ON TWENTY ACRES.
Arnold Martin Wins Title Of
Most Successful Farmer.

s.Tlle most successful farmer in the
United States" is the title which has
been bestowed upon Arnold Martin,
farmer living near Pawnee City, Neb.
So successful is he that the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington has
sent an ex ,ert to investigate and has
issned bulletin telling the farmers all
over the country just how the Nebras-
ka farmer manages things on a plot of
which he calls his "farm."
Martins farm contains just twenty
acres and from it he cares for his
family and saves 81 1000 each year.
While Mr.. Martin raises a certain
am, unit of fruit his principal crops are
the usual farm crops Of Nebraska. Not
f OF of twenty acres is permitted to
remain idle and two or three crops of
something or other is raised on every
acre every year.
Martin came to Pawnee City from
Switzerland ten years ago without a
penny, All he knew was farming. He
went to work as a farmland and in
three years managed to save 1915.
Then he started for himself.
"Twenty acres is all wanted" says
Martin. ''That's enough land, If farm
ed rightly, for any man; 800 acres is a
misfortune and $40 acres is down.
right calamity
Martin found his twenty acres. 1t
was rocky and not worth farming, SO
the owners of the surrounding farms
declared. AS proof of the poor quality
Of the land, Martin paid only $3.50
an acre for it, while surrounding land
was worth form $50 to $40 an acre.
He paid just 500 down and gave a
mortgage The remainder Of his.
money he used to buy farm imple-
ments and live stock. -
The bulletin which the department
has issued concerning Martin says:
ellis neighbors used to laugh at the
young farmer and nickname him
ssHazel-brush," but now they say che
is making more money on his twenty
acres than we are on our 100 acres.
He does not want any more land but
wants to farm what he has better than
he does now"
SO successful has the young farmer
been that today, seven years after he
purchased his little farm, he is entirely
out of debt, has a good house, fine
barns, cash in the bank and a standing
offer $1,000 for his twenty acres. Last
winter he spent three months in
Switzerland and for past three years
he has been to the Colorado noun
tainsevery summer on pleasure BENT"
Says the government bulletin: "The
extensive methods pursued by Mr..
Martin are of particular interest. The
land is kept busy from spring until fall.
At the last cultivation of potatoes,
corn is planted between the rows. A
full crop of potatoes and fair crop of
corn is produced from the same
eround. AS many as 700 bushels of
potatoes and seventy five bushels of
corn are produced from each acre
planted this way.
ssAfter the potatoes ripen the corn
keeps the weeds down. By the time
the corn needs the ground the potatoes
are ripe and the corn is in the shock
before it is time to dig the potatoes.
Some portions of the potato patch are
sown with millet and sorgum just be-
fore the last cultivation. This makes
a good crop of feed and does not hurt
the potatoes. Squashes are some
times planted in the way. The onion
patches grow corn and melons, which
