Decorations.

Washington was a white and green
| city today, and for the first time in
the history of inaugurations the Ma
tional Flag was used only upon its
rightful staff Heretofore the Stars
and Stripes have been pressed into
service as a decoration for all sorts
OF purposes, from the Frightening Of
lemonade and sandwich stands to the
festooning Of saloon fronts. This
year the Inaugural committee agreed
with itself that whenever the flag
was used at all 1t was to be flying
free to the breeze from a mast or
stan. 1t is stated that $4,000 was
spent on the decorations of Pennsyl-
vania Avenue from Fifteenth to Sew
enteenth street. and most OF it was
devoted to beautifying the Court Of
Honor, opposite the White House
grounds. The storm did much dam
age to the decorations and many of
them we're sorry looking spectacles.
The Court is marked of from the
rest of the thoroughfare by eight
huge Pompeian columns, four at
either end, and between these shafts
at intervals OF 33 feet are graceful
masts on either side Of the street.
The Pompeian columns are over so
feet in height, with six-foot pedestals,
and atop of each is an American
eagle. Each column will be ablaze
with electric lights tonight when the
town is illumined in honor of the
new president. The spars that line
the street between the columns each
carry red and white streamers bear
ing the letters T. and S. Garlands
run diagonally from column to col
umn at each end of the Court of Hon
or and suspended in the center of the
intersecting streets are globes, five
feet in diameter, garlanded with
flowers and greenery. These globes
will be masses of electric lights at
night.

rapid is reasonably certain. By the
way, there are two aspirants for the
post office. John Witty and E. T.
Barton who returned from Boise the
first of the week and actively entered
the race. The position is plum worth
picking and the patrons of the office
are entitled to the best service possible.
Both men are honest and capable and
both have the confidence of the com
munity. Mr.. Barton has had a world
of experience in clerical work and
enjoys wide acquaintance outside
Of the city, while Mr.. Witty has the
impetuous vigor of youth and intimate
acquaintance with business forms.

and organic matter, but this however,
is true of all arid soils, which can be
easily corrected by the planting of
legumes, such as alfalfa and clover,
which have the power of extracting
free nitrogen from the soil and air and
storing it in the soil in an available
form, which makes the soil very rich
and productive. Alfalfa and clover
grow very prohfcally in this country,
SO that the low per cent of nitrogen is
no hindrance to crop productions, but
rather an aid, as it teaches the farmer
to rotate his crops with alfalfa and
clover as the base, and where ever
alfalfa and clover grow, the farmers
returns have always been satisfactory.
One other thing | wish to call your
attention to, and that is the wonderful
amount of moisture which can be stored
in this soil, amounting to "a per cent
of the whole, which means that with
our rain fall comparatively little irriga-
ton would be necessary to produce the
maximum crops. This soil would store
the winter rains and SHOWS something
like equal to 10 to IL inches of water
for the following season. This with
the addition of one, or not to exceed
two irrigations, applied during the
irrigation season, would be ample for
almost any crop grown in this section
of the country.

| This analysis was very similar to
sample No. and No. with one excep-
ton, that is the power of holding a
larger amount of moisture than the
other samples mentioned, also showing
larger amount of soluble silica, which
means that it answers readily to proper
tillage, and will produce an immense
amount of plant food This soil also
has the ability to hold more moisture
than the other samples, being of a
finer texture and would require more
careful cultivation, perhaps, than the
other sample, but in other respects it is
about the same.
1t is easily cultivated on account of
its texture. and makes it very desirable
soil. On the whole the only difference
with regard to irrigation would be that
this soil would require probably more
frequent irrigation during the season
than the others, but it would require a
less amount, being applied at one time
and when irrigated, should be irrigated
very quickly.
This is an ideal soil from a farmers
viewpoint, as it is always easily handled
and will not take long time in the
application Of water, hence it appeals
co the farmer as quick, easily handled
soil, giving quick results. Like the
other soils it is deficient in Nitrogen
and Humus, but where ever legumes
crops are grown, this does not cut any
figure in the results from the view
point of farmer.
The chemical analysis of all of these
soils bring out the fact that rotation of
crops is necessary for the highest pro-
duction and wherever crop rotation is
practiced, the lands grow
richer each year and become more pro
ductive, so that each succeeding year
should show an increase of wealth to |
the farmer. None of the soils contain
alkali IN apIreciabie quantities, so that
there is no danger of the lands ever
becoming injured. by the existence of
alkaline salts.
