the surface SIX to nine inches OF the
soil, or in that part Of the soil which
Is turned with the plow and stirred
with the cultivator; thus deep plow-
ing favors the development of the
bacteria and the preparation of more
available plant-food than is the result
from shallow plowing.
1t may not be best to plow deep
every year; sometimes shallow plow-
ing will give better results, and occa-
sionally it is best not to plow at all.
The depth and frequency Of plowing
will vary according to the nature of
the soil, a light or sandy soil requir-
ing less depth Of plowlng and less
frequent plowing than a heavy, COM
pact, clayey or ''gumbo" soil.
This fact should be borne IN mind,
that when the land is plowed deep,
1t Is necessary to reestablsh the ca
pillary connection of the soil with the
subsoil and prepare good seed-bed
by the methods described above, in
order that unfavorable results may
not occur from the deeper plowlng.
Also, it is not advisable to plow
deeper than is the usual practice, just
previous to planting. Rather, deep
plowing should be allowed to lie and
weather some time after plowing, be-
fore planting

NEW LEADER FOR
WESTERN JESUITS

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 11,--Rev
Herman j. Collier, president Of Con
zaga college Of Spokane, has been Sc
lected as provincial Of the new pro-
vince Of the Jesuit order, with juris-
dictlon over 26 colleges and residences
i' southern California, Alaska, Wash
ington, oregon, Montana. Idaho
North Dakota, South Dakota and Wy
oming, with headquarters at Portland.
The district is now the largest province
In America. He will be succeeded as
head Of the college here by Rev. L.
Taelman, who has been active in the
northwest for years.
The elevation of Father Collier
marks the retirement Of the Very Rev.
George de la Motto, who has been
superior of the Jesuits in the north
west for nine years. When the Rocky
mountain and California missions were
merged, two years ago, Father de la
Motto, who had been superior Of the
! Rocky mountain mission or seven
years, was chosen superior Of the con-
solidated missions. Father de la
Motto goes to St. Ignatius mission, In
Montana, where he will succeed
Father Taelman.
Father Collier was ordained at
Woodstock, Mr., by Cardinal Gibbons
f. 1899, while Father Taelman was
ordained at St. Aloysius church In
Spokane by Bishop Edward John o.
Dea, bishop of Seattle, in 1898. Both
have been closely identified with the
expansion of Catholicism in the north
west. Many years have been spent by
each in teaching, both having been
chosen to teach members of the Jes-
uit order making their studies, which
is considered a high honor. Father
Taelman speaks nine languages. He
was for several years superior of the
Jesuit Indian missions in Montana
while l feel deeply the honor and
responsibility that have been conferred

Of regret that l think Of leaving my

have labored for 90 years" said Faith
er Collier yesterday. 81 have not yet
decided where l will make my head

the center, but I may decide to make |
Spokane my headquarters. If 1 should |
have to choose Portland because of |
its geographical advantages, you may
depend on it l shall visit Spokane |
as often as my official duties will al

After leaving here l shall go at |
once to Southern California, where |
l will inspect the houses of the order.

NEW DEPARTMENT FOR
COLUMBIA COLLEGE
(special Correspondence.) }

Milton, Sept. S.-Another depart

when the services Of Prof. A. Il. Ba.

Prof. Bacon comes to this city from
Missouri and is highly recommended
He has had considerable experience
in teaching stringed instruments and
also as leader of orchestras.
The addition of Prof. Bacon to the
faculty of the local institution will
likely prove a valuable one.

The Soil Mulch.

In the ideal system of culture the
purpose is to keep mellow soil
mulch on the surface Of the land all
Of the time, not only during the
growth Of the crop but also in the
interval between harvest and seed
ing time.
Thus after the crop is planted, the
land is kept cultivated with the weed
er or harrow in order to break the
surface crust and conserve the soil
moisture, and following out the same
principle, the narrowing or work
with the weeder is continued after
the grain or corn is up, and during
the growing period frequent cultiva-
ton is required for intertilled crops.
The principle of loosening the sur
face soil and keeping a mulch of mel
low soil in order to break the capil-
larry movement of the water and pre-
vent its evaporation is well recog-
nized by farmers generally, and is
practiced to greater or less extent
in the cultivation of all kinds OF
crops.

Disking After Harvest.

After the crop is harvested the cul-
tivatlon is not discontinued, but the
surface of the soil is loosened as soon
as possible after the crop is removed.
by the use of the disk harrow, and
thus the soil is kept continually in a
condition to not only prevent the loss
OF water already stored in the soil,
but also this same condition and mel
low surface favors the absorption of
rain and largely prevents the loss of
wstsF by surface drainage.
The smooth, finely pulverized sur.
face left by continuous light harrow
ing really defeats the purpose of the
cultivation, siRee soil in such condi-
ton will shed heavy FaiDs, causing a
waste Of water which should have
been stored in the soil, and the su,s
face often becomes too fine and COM
pact, preventing the proper aeration
OF the soil and producing an unfa-
vorable seed-bed condition.
Thus during the interval between
crops it is sometimes advisable to
use the Acme or the disk harrow, in
order to keep the surface of the soil
open and mellow.

narrowing Wheat.

The weed-harrow or weeder is
probably better adapted for harrow
ing wheat or other small grain than
the common straight-tooth or slant
ing-tooth harrow. The weeder is
somewhat Objectionable on account of
the wheels.
When the ground is reasonably
firm, the common harrow may be
used without injury to the wheat.
The writer questions whether it is
necessary to continue the narrowing
after the wheat covers the ground
we'll, unless heavy rains firm and
puddle the soil, destroying the mulch
of mellow earth. Usually this will not
occur.
In a single trial. wheat was har-
rowed when it stood five or six inches
high and had stooled so as to nearly
cover the ground and the mulch thus
produced was still in evidence at har-
vest time. In this experiment the
ground was narrowed twice on the
same day. The yield of wheat on the
narrowed plot was on the average
three bushels per acre above that
from the field adjacent, not narrowed
This experiment, with others, was
carried on at the North Dakota eX-
pertinent station with spring wheat,
and it was observed that wheat har-
rowed before it had stooled much was
injured in stand and gave a lower
yield Of, grain than wheat not har-
rowed.
Wheat or other small grain may
usually be narrowed without injury
before it comes up, but after the grain
is up it should not be narrowed un-
til it has established a good root
growth and has made considerable
top growth.
1t appears that even with winter
wheat there may be some danger of
injury to the wheat If narrowed too
early in the spring, and the writer
would not, as a rule, advise to har-
row wheat in the fall.
Experiments in the narrowing of
wheat and in the practice of various
methods of culture for several crops
are being undertaken at the Fort Hays
branch experiment station and also
at the state experiment station at
Manhattan.

order TO make such action possible
congress, on June IL, 1906, passed a

Since that time corps OF well-quan-

all seasons when weather has permit

1t is frequently a matter or the ut

usually In a mountain valley, often at
high attitudes, and at some distance

who arc coming west. The Spokane

west TO seek homes in the rural dis

of the work and In the greater num-
Der OF instances 1t is frUt-growing.
Therein is a suggestion for those
who arc promoting fruit culture in
Weber county. the practice OF inten-
siyo farming, more especially apple
culture. has. in a measure, solved the
problem OF the American trait OF the
farmer seeking city life and the city
man dreaming of rural happiness. and
the nearness OF the irrigated districts
TO the towns and cities IN the west
has served to satisfy both. Small
tracts. electric railways. telephones,
rural mail routes make a combination
of the best of city and country. and
thousands are passing useful ana
busy lives in these districts.
There has been a tremendous move
ment TO the Northwest In the last IA
months, when, according TO the best
information available, approximately
100000 persons settled In Washington,
Oregon and Idaho. and OF these about
63 800 located In eastern Washington,
northern Idaho, northeastern Oregon
and southeastern British Columbia
Thirty-nye thousand settled in the
