MR.. LIBBY ON CONSERVATION
In Address to Irrigation Congress at
Spokane He Outlines Plan for
Saving the Water Supply.

At the recent meeting of the irriga-
ton congress at Spokane, President
e. H. Libby of the Washington Con-
servation association gave an address
on Conservation of Natural Re-
sources" In which he said IN part:
Right use of this wealth Is the true
meaning of conservation OF natural
resources Right use Is the greatest
good to the greatest number. Right
use prohibits monopoly. Right use
prevents waste.

othy at once unlocked the gate OF his
prison and set him free. They went
I'm together to the castle. where Doro-
thy's first act was to call all the Win.
kies together and tell them that they
were no longer slaves.
There was great rejoicing among the
yellow Wrinkles, for they had been
made to work hard during many years
for the Wicked Witch. who had always
treated them with great cruelty. They
kept this day as a holiday. then and
ever after. and spent the time in feast

said the Lion, Il should be quite
happy"
Don't you suppose we could rescue
them?" asked the girl. anxiously.
I'VE can try" answered the Lion.
So they called the yellow Wrinkles
and asked them II they would help to
rescue their friends. and the Wrinkles
said that they would be delighted to
do all in their power for Dorothy. who
had set them free from bondage. So
she chose a number of the Wrinkles
who looked as II they knew the most.
and they all started away. They trav-

should be quite happy"
I'VE must try to find him." said the
girl.
So she called the Wrinkles to help
her. and they walked all that day and
part OF the next until they came to the
tall tree in the branches of which the
Winged Monkeys had tossed the Scare
crows clothes.
It was a very tall tree, and the
trunk was so smooth that no one could
climb It; but the Woodman said at
once:
I'll chop it down. and then we can
get the Scarecrow's clothes"
Now while the tinsmitbs had been
at work mending the Woodman him
self, another of the Wrinkles, who was
a goldsmith. had made an ax-handle
of solid gold and fitted it to the Wood
mans ak, instead of the old broken
handle. Others polished the blade
until all the rust was removed and 1t
glistened like FURNISHED silver.
As soon as he had spoken, the Tin
Woodman began to chop. and in a
short time the tree fell over with a
crash, when the Scarecrow's clothes
fell out of the branches and rolled on
on the ground.
Dorothy picked them up and had
the Wrinkles carry them back to the
castle, where they were stuffed with
nice, clean straw; and, behold! here
was the Scarecrow, as good as ever
thanking them over and over again
for saving him.
Now they were reunited. Dorothy
and her friends spent a few happy
days at the Yellow Castle. where
they found everything they needed to
make them comfortable. But one day
the girl thought of Aunt EN-. and said:
I'VE must go back to OF, and claim
his promise"
YES" said the Woodman, "at last
I shall get my heart"

These proofs are in the shape OF

BETS IRRIGATED LAST TIME
Hard Question to Answer Because II
All Depends Upon Nature Of Soil
Varying Conditions.

The question is often asked as to
when beets should be irrigated for
the last time. This is very hard to
answer as 1t all depends upon the
nature of the soil. We usually begin
pulling beets at the end of Septem-
Der to the middle Of October. In or
der to be able to do good work the
soil should be Just moist enough that
1t will break on nicely from the beets
and leave them good and clean.
II we irrigate too late In the season,
or about a week before the harvest.
we are very apt to have n muddy field.
the beets are then difficult to get out of
the soil. The mud adheres to them
and 1t requires much work to knock
II on. II does not matter how care
full one is. more or less soil will al
ways adhere to the beets. This we
haul to the factory and receive n
heavy tare.
Some growers are OF the opinion
that late irrigation will fill the beet
full OF water and a larger tonnage Ia
the result. This IL not always the
case. II the irrigation is followed by
spell OF cold weather there is a
rapid decrease in the sugar content
of the beet as well as a loss in the
root itself The other objection is
that when the soil is saturated with
water and freezing weather should
set in It is very apt to interfere with
the beet harvest. whereas. on the dry
er soil the beet puller may work very
nicely.
II is very hard to take any undue
advantage OF the sugar factory with
out 1t acting as a boomerang and
causing the farmer like loss. It is
very surprising to note. however. the
fairness with which the beet growers
have always acted in carrying out
their contract. In fact they have ad-
hered more closely to the contract
than has the factory.

And l shall get my courage" said
the Lion, thoughtfully.
"And 1 shall get back to Kansas"
cried Dorothy. clapping her hands.
"Oh, let us start for the Emerald City
tomorrow"
This they decided to do. The next
day they called the Wrinkles together
and babe them good-by. The Wrinkles
were sorry to have them go, and they
had grown so fond of the Tin Wood
man that they begged him to stay and
rule over them and the Yellow Land
of the West. Finding they were de-
termined to go. the Wrinkles gave Toto
and the Lion each a golden collar;
and to Dorothy they presented beau
tiful bracelet, studded with diamonds;
and to the Scarecrow they gave a
gold-headed walking stick. to keep him
from stumbling: and to the Tin Wood
man they offered silver oil-can. in
laid with gold and set with precious
| Jewels.
Every one of the travellers made the
Wrinkles pretty speech in return. and
all shook hands with them until their
arms ached.
| Dorothy went to the Witch's cup
board to fill her basket with food for
the journey, and there she saw the
! golden cap. She tried it on her own
head and found that 1t fitted her ex-
actly. She did not know anything
about the charm of the golden cap,
but she saw that it was pretty. so she
made up her mind to wear 1t and carry
her sunbonnet in the basket.
Then. being prepared for the jour
ney. they all started for the Emerald
City; and the Wrinkles gave them
three cheers and many good wishes to
carry with them.

HOW TO STORE THE POTATOES
Good Way to Keep spuds and Other
Vegetables 10 to Dig Cave In
Side Of q Hill.

The best way to make a cave for
keeping spuds and vegetables is to dig
in the side of hill. The walls
should be slightly slanting from top
to bottom and laid up with adobe
bricks to prevent caving in. Then
plaster with clay and sand. or cement
is better. The adobes are laid about
two feet higher than the top of the
earth to provide room for a small vim
dow in one end. The top is covered
with boards, then tar paper. Adobes
are then laid over this and then clay
about two inches deep for a covering.
Two doors should be provided. one
straight door for the inside and q

Are any of your people tinsmiths?"
"Oh, yes; some of us are very good
tinsmiths." they told her.
Then bring them to me-" she said.
And when the tinsmiths came, bring
kets, she inquired:
Can you straighten out those dents
in the Tin Woodman, and bend him
back into shape again. and solder him
together where he is broken?"
The tinsmiths looked the Woodman
over carefully and then answered that
they thought they could mend him so
he would be as good as ever. So they
set to work in one Of the big yellow
rooms OF the castle and worked for
three days and four nights, hammer
ing and twisting and bending and sold
ering and polishing and pounding at
the legs and body and head of the Tin
Woodman. until at last he was
Strengthened out into his old form,
and his joints worked as well as ever.
To be sure. there were several patches
on him, but the tinsmiths did a good
job, and as the Woodman was not a
vain man he did not mind the patches
at all.
When, at last, he walked into Doro-
thy's room and thanked her for rescu'
ing him, he was so pleased that he
wept tears OF joy. and Dorothy had to
wipe every tear carefully from his
face with her apron. SO his joints
would not be rusted. At the same
time her own tears fell thick and fast
at the Joy of meeting her old friend
again. and these tears did not need
to be wiped away. AS for the Lion. he
wiped his eyes SO often with the tip
Of his tail that It became quite wet.
