Fifteen Months in His Re-

His Triumphs as a Hunter Only

Ex-President Roosevelt's fifteen
months tour abroad has been one Of
triumph both in the jungles of Africa
and in the courts of Europe. The hunt
ing trip, officially known as the Smith
sonian African expedition, occupied
nearly eleven months of the time. The
Smithsonian Institution wanted speci-
mems from the Dark Continent, Mr..
Roosevelt was commissioned to obtain
them, and he has been most success.

the strenuous ex-President's desire to
hunt big game.
Soon after his successor was inaug,i.

Pointer. on Pea Culture

Avoid fresh manure and wet, mucky
soil.
A light. loamy soil is best for pea
culture.
Spring-sown peas are more produc-
tive than those late sown.
The dwarf varieties can be drilled at
'15' inches If hoed by hand
When the peach tree is in bloom
the drilling of peas may be safely com
menced.
Table peas should be picked from
the vines when about two-thirds de-
iveloped, as then they are tender and
luscious.
Four seeds to! the inch is good
ratio in sowing peas in rows. The
plants can be afterward thinned out
to two to the inch.
Early pease do best on good. warm
loamy soil. not over-rich, but yet not
poor. When too rich, the growth runs
more to vines than peas.
Wrinkled peas seldom ripen as com.
pletely as round ones, and are more
apt to decay under some soil condi.

varieties are soft, while the round
ones are hard.
When ready for use pick all pods
from vines. II allowed to ripen new
pods will cease to form on the vines
and even pods partly advanced will
stop growing. {

Stockmen Will be gratified to learn
that Uncle Sam is studying means of
using sheep to degenerate overgrazed
ranges. Unique experiments now be-
ing conducted by the United States
at the experiment station within the
Walloka national forest in northeast
ern Oregon demonstrate that the graz
ing of sheep under proper restrictions
is an important factor in the work of
reseeding oyergrazed ranges.
The problem being studied is that
of restoring to depleted ranges their
original covering Of mountain bunch
grass This grass is one Of the most
important of the summer forage plants
in the higher ranges Of the northwest
and its rapid disappearance from the
ranges by reason of oyerstocking could
only be regarded as direct economic
loss to the stockmen. Special atten.
ton has therefore been given to the
restoration Of the grass by the head
Of the forest service, and his latest re-
port shows that thorough reseeding
has been secured upon the areas to
which protective grazing system has
been applied.
In the initial stages three different
methods Of reseeding were used. Upon
one area the seed was allowed to, drop.
to the ground without treatment. The
seed was brushed in with brush.

and upon the third tract band Of

stand on the other two areas showed
but little variation In density. but
later, during the period Of drought
the seedlings on the area brushed over
died out badly, while on the area upon
which the sheep narrowed in the seed
there was a very little loss.
Closer examination developed the
fact that the root systems of the seed.
which had been trampled In were one.

than the root systems Of the seed

eastern farmers who are prone to risk

OF this land will be reclaimed through
irrigation. and the growing of drought

improved methods of culture will do
much to make the farming of these

It is with view of helping such
that the feasibility Of pumping water

more extensive areas was Investigated
by the irrigation office Of the United

these Investigations are embodied in q

is set out in a simple comprehensive
way, and practical suggestions are
made to those who are now using or
are contemplating the use of wind
mills for pumping water for irrigation.
The data given for plants on the great
