though the Thanksgiving sky here

weather beaten old Bell farm
house, standing on the highest

her lover, Joe Armes, out of her
life by her own acts: the misery
of the past and the uncertain
promise of the future, the bleak
poverty of the family, the mort
gagged ranch, all troubles were for
gotten in the Joy of Thanksgiving
reunion.

FIND FACTORY DOOR BARRED

The city council street commit
tee yesterday called at the Shuli-
Day factory to investigate rumors
that the doors were locked during
working hours and the girls lock-
ed in.
They found the factory locked
by bolts on the inside. which the
management said was to prevent
intruders from coming in and also
to compel the girls to come on
time.
The bolted doors It was possible
to unlock without key and the
management insisted that no
doors were locked with key, which
would have made the situation
dangerous in case of fire.

NINETEEN BUSHELS Pea ACRE

NINETEEN BUSHELS PER ACRE.
In many sections of the oat belt
there has been marked deterioration
in the oat yield during the past two or
three years. and so pronounced has
this been that a comment or tive
touching the situation may be worth
while. The low yield OF this year
seems in part due TO poor seed. but
possibly in larger measure TO the fact
dllat the grain was not sown with the
disk drill. as II should have been. but
was broadcasted In slack and SLOW
emily manner. with the result that the
stand was very poor. Contributing to
this result is another factor that is
even more Observation-Disclosures a
gradual depletion of the soil by an I'M
proper method OF tillage to the point
where 1t is not capable Of producing a
satisfactory yield. In a list of some
twenty men whose thrashing returns
were reported TO the writer recently
the average yield was but nineteen
bushels 20 the acre, the lowest being
eleven bushels and the highest thirty
Eve and one-half bushels. or over three
times MS much. The farm which pro-
duced the eleven busheI yield has been
Systematically skinned for years past
The one which gave thirty-ive and
one-half bushels has raised much
stock and its fertility kept up by feed
ing most of the products OF the farm
on the farm. Nineteen bushels 20 the
acre. and that in section where oats
in the past have yielded as high as
sixty and seventy bushels, shows a
state of affairs which farmers indIvid-
ually and collectively may well be
looking into How long Is II going to
take for agriculturists to learn that
they can't keep subtracting from the
soil principal each year without re
placing II with fertilizers and stili con
tlnue taking from II the same interest
returns in the shape OF crop Yields?
