FALL FLOWING
FOR SANDY LAND
Rancher from Minidoka Tract
Tells of Profitable Way to
Handle Light Soils
NEARLY DOUBLES THE YIELD
Planting Can be Done Much Earlier In
the Spring Before the Winds
Blow out the Seed

There are certain portions of Lincoln
county where the land is very sandy.
This sandy land is regarded as very
fertile and productive but there is one
serious trouble connected with it dur
ing the first few years of cultivation.
When the land is plowed in the spring
the surface dries rapidly and by the
time it is planted to wheat or other
grain the high winds blow the soil and
seed into mounds and windrows and
the crop is practically ruined to begin
the season.
This condition seems to be most pre-
valent on the Minidoka project and it
is from a settler on this project that a
remedy is suggested.
In a recent conversation with C. C.
Keck whose ranch is located half way
between Rupert and Hepburn, he states
that he has had several years expert
ence with fall piowing and finds it
most satisfactory IN preventing soil
drifting in the spring. Last year he
plowed some land very early in the
fall and seeded it to wheat in February
last, putting it in with q press drill
just as early as the ground would allow
The deep fall plowing acted as q sponge
or reservoir to absorb and hold all the
moisture that fell either in the form of
rain or snow The surface became
firm and compact and withstood the
action of wind. The early planted
seed terminated at once in the moist
ground and the roots followed the
moisture down as the surface dried.
By having long period of cool, moist
weather in which to grow, the plants
stooled out tremendously, making IS
stalks on a single root by actual count.
The field will average over 40 bushels
to the acre and oats on fall plowed
land will do equally as well, or over so
bushels per acre.
His grain on spring plowed land pro-
misses little better than half as much
per acre.
After this sandy land becomes wealth
cred and filed with humus by cultiva-
tion according to modern methods it
becomes more compact in texture and
darker in color and it is able to sue
cessfully resist the action of the spring
winds, and for alfalfa, fruit and veget-
ables it is regarded superior to the
blacker loan.
By plowing in the summer or early
fall a crop of weeds is turned under to
enrich the ground instead Of going to
seed, and the later weeds are killed by
the frosts of fall.
By some, the planting of fall wheat
is considered better even than February
planting but only the experience of
several consecutive seasons will de-
the matter
There are others no doubt who have
mad experience with fall plowing in
sandy land and the Journal would be
pleased to receive communications
from them as to the results of their ex-
1erience.

DEAF AND BLIND SCHOOL
GOES TO GOOOING

By unanimous action of the state
board of education Gooding was selected
as the site for the state deaf and blind
school. The board met late this after
noon to consider the question of loca-
tion of the school which has been in
deadlock for severol weeks. Miss
Chamberlain, state superintendent,
suggested Goo6ing as a compromise
location. This suggestion Immediately
met the approval of Governor Brady and
Attorney General McDougal whereupon
Secretary of State Lansdon stated that
he would make no further opposition,
thus making the selection unanimous
and ending one of the most bitter con-
tests that has been waged in years re-
lative to the location of a state insti-
tuition.
The fight heretofore has been be-
tween Boise and Weiser, Boise being
favored by Miss Chamberlain and Gov
ernor Brady, and Weiser by Attorney
General McDougal and Secretary of
State Lansdon, thus producing dead
lock.
The secretary of state has prepared
a call to architects to submit plans for
he new Institution for the erection of
which the legislature appropriated
$50, 600. Boise Statesman.

TSUKAMOTO AND CHARLIE
WILL ENTER TEN MILE RACE
Wireless From tiiIo States That Speedy Jap
Will Run Against All Corners at the
Athletic Park.

Possible entries for 10-mile race to
be held at the Athletic Park for big
purse on September 4:
Tsukamoto, the japanese runner who
beat Jackson in the Hilo race.
Nigel jackson, winner of the Haleiwa
and League Park Marathon races.
Dial Fahy, second in the big Mara
thon.
Feagler, third in Haleiwa race.
Timas, fourth in Haleiwa race.
Downey, baseball player and well up
in both long races.
Both the Freitas boys. Sportsmen and
good runners.
Pulaa. Who made such q great rec
ord in the Haleiwa race by falling and
hurting his ankle and yet coming in
tenth.
Cockburn, who showed how he could
make the pace for the first part Of the
grind over the Haleiwa course.
Last, but not by any means least,
Charlie, the milk wagon Chinese kid,
who battered round the Marathon
course at the league grounds and came
very near winning.
The international foot race is now
assured The management of the Ath-
letic Park has been keeping things very
quiet They sent a man UP to Hawaii
to see if Tsukamoto would enter a
race. Yesterday the reply came by
wireless. "Joe Kubey, Tsukamoto will
enter race, send $50 by wireless foI
training and travelling Joe sent the
fifty plunks right quick.
The park management states that en-
tries viii close on September l at the
uptown office of the park, Real Estate
Exchange. opposite the Union Grill
First prize will be 800, second prize
$50, third prize $25.
Course Is Laid Out.
The course has already been made out
and staked. All that is necessary is tt
put up stakes and ropes and there are
sockets sunk in the ground so that iro1
stanchions may be screwed in and ropes
stretched round the track at any time
The management has been figuring OF
this for a long time. They have beer
quietly having the track fixed and al
arrangements made for scoring. The
scoring will be done according to thu
latest ideas brought from the Coast.
Each runner will have a separate
blackboard. There are six laps to the
mile and there will be ten spaces oppo
site each name. The scorer will tally
six laps to the mile. AS each runneI
comes round the home plate, the maj
who is looking after him will make
tally on his board. The spectators will
be able to see at a glance how many
miles and laps each gunner has mad
and there will be no strenuous pullin;
of paper, like there was at the BIZ

Charlie Is Training.

Whether jackson enters or not, the
park management assures good race
with the Hilo Jap and good little
Charlie entered. 1t is understood from
an inside source that Charlie has been
put in training during the last few
weeks. The management saw that he
had enough to pay another man to run
his milk wagon for him and also put an
expert trainer in charge of him.
Way beyond the end of the Kaimuki
car line Charlie has been housed. in
training quarters. Every morning he
has been out on the road with an ex-
pert who knows how to train runner
Patter, pit, patter over the road go
those little sturdy legs of his, and, with
the knowledge he has gained of breath
ing and correct stepping, he will Ger
tainly make a grand ten-mile race.
Entries Close Soon.
The idea of this race is of short no.
tice to the public, but will lack no in
terest by that. All the entrants have
had private notice and viii be in great
condition. There will be no entrance
fee demanded, but only those who are
fit will be admitted. Anybody who
wants to enter the race is welcome to
send in his name to the uptown Office
of the park before September /.

Marathon at the league grounds.
Jackson Is Peeved,

Nigel Jackson is peeved. He does
not want to run ten miles. He wants
to run twentysix miles. He comes
through with the following eommunica-
ton. He may be right. There IS no
criticism to be made here. Mr.. jack
son is wonderful athlete, he is the
keenest and most careful baseball scor-
er in this town and he sees more clever
plays in one afternoon than the aver
age fan would find in a year.
Here is Mr.. Jackson s eommunica-
ton:
To the Sporting Editor:-There IS
some talk of pulling off a tenmile race
at the Athletic Park in Honolulu in the
near future, and great stress has been
laid on match between myself and the
japanese runner from Hilo, who was
my competitor and conqueror in the
Fourth of July races held there. l
wish to state for the benefit of the
sporting public that never have claim
ed to be fast runner. but long-dis-
tanee runner. AS can be shown by
many records from the Coast, ten
mile course is considered a fast-run-
ming distance and hardly an endurance
run, such as a Marathon
L therefore challenge the japanese
runner, prize, purse, or for glory, to
run over the regular Marathon course
26 miles 365 yards, or to any distance
over that he may choose to name
Thanking you for space in your paper

Very respectfully,
