The effect resulting from changing a
plant from a dry climate to one OF
large rainfall Is material and should
always receive consideration in the
purchase OF seeds or plants.
The most important point to be
considered In the adaptation of crops
to conditions is the variations In the
character OF the soil. This applies es-
pecially to the greater part OF the
south. for 1t Is a well known fact
that our soil types are more variable
within short distances. than in most
sections. Different types of sandy
and sandy loan soils are extremely
numerous, and are scattered about in
small areas. as are also many other

and makes much better yields than
when frequently changed to different
types OF soils.
Study the Soil Needs of the Crop.
In selecting crops for growing, the
character OF soil must be given due
consideration. Certain crops are par
tial to certain types Of soil and dc
not produce satisfactorily on any
other kind. For instance, light, dry,
sandy loan soils may produce fair
crops OF cotton. but do not produce
corn SO we'll. and are entirely insult

fairly complete. produce the largest
crops on the rich bottom lands when
moisture and other conditions are

The light sandy soils of the South
are not good for the growth Of the
cereals. The heavier clay loans are
best adapted to oats and wheat, es-
pecially the latter. Corn. also. does

moist bottom lands.
Why Purchased Seeds Often FAN to

Seed corn that has been developed

uplands. will fail to yield we'll the
first few years. requiring several
years to adapt itself to the changed
conditions and produce it maximum
yield. AS far as possible. corn should
be planted on the rich. loose. moist
bottom soils. but II It must be planted
on dry uplands. then seed should be
used that has become adapted to
those conditions. from having grown
several years therein. Much valuable
time and money Is probably being
lost In the South through attempts to
grow red clover. alfalfa. ETC.. on land
not at all adapted to those crops, and
with seed produced ON and adapted to
different types OF soil. OF course, 1t
Is folly for any one to try to grow
any legume IL the bacteria which en-

OF these legumes also demand GER
tain soil and moisture conditions and
refuse to produce satisfactorily with
out them.
Fortunately crimson clover. bur
clover. vetch. cowpeas and soy beans
grow on practically all Southern soils
when properly inoculated. but they
do their best on rich loan soils and
many OF them also show an apprecia-
ton Of fair quantity of lime In the
soil.
Alfalfa, on the other hand, insists
on moderately heavy. rich soil, well
drained and filled with lime. and in
the opinion Of the writer 1t is useless
to try to grow alfalfa probably on
any other type Of soil.

was void under the statute Of frauds,
by reason Of the agreement not hav-
ing been in writing.
The court states that when. pur-
suant to verbal contract, the own
ers cooperate in the construction of
a ditch for the purpose of draining
their lands. the equitable doctrine
of estoppel will prevent one of them
from damming up the ditch to the
de'r.ment Of the other, and conse-
quently the agreement was not void
under the statute. The decision,
which is concurred in BY all Of the
justices, with the exception of JUS
tice O'Brien, afirms the position
taken by Judge Olsen of the district
court.
In dissenting from the opinion of
his brethren of the supreme bench,
Justice O'Brien states that in his
judgment the most that can be
said in favor of plaintiffs claim is
that he had a license from the two
defendants to turn the surface
water from his land into the ditch
located upon the lands of the two
defendants. and that it was a license
revocable at the will of the defend
ants. without notice, and having
been so revoked the plaintiff was
not entitled to relief.
The case resulted in more or less
of q neiborhood quarrel and was even
carried into the church. Of which all
the parties were members. The
attempt to get the plaintiff and de-
PENDANTS together thru that institu-
ton, failed, and the case was then
taken into the courts.

The senior member of the firm of

to Delhi and the cities which have

DEATH OF MRS. MARY i. VIM.
Passed Away Peacefully Monday Morn
ing, in Her Eightictli Year.

By the death of Mrs. Mary j.
VIM, which occurred at her home
southwest Of this city last Monday
morning. this community loses the
presence of a most Iovable woman,
with an interesting history in some
respects.
Mrs. VIM was born Mary J. Bean
/ at Ossipee, N. H., Nov. 10Th,
1880, and was therefore taken away
in her 80th year. While yet child
she removed with her parents to
Portsmouth. in the same state, where
| she received her education and re-
NAMED until her marriage to J.. ID.
Vim in 1850. Mr.. and Mrs. VIM
lived in Boston most IF the time
during the nine years following their
marriage, going west as far as Day
ton, Ohio, in 1859, and Immediately
following the close Of the war re-
moved to Minneapolis, which they
saw develop from a big village into
the fine city it had become in 1881,
when they removed to Redwood
Falls township. purchasing the old
Drew farm, the nucleus Of the larg-
er tract of farm land which the fam
lily has since acquired.
One Of the main reasons for leav-
ing the city was the affliction that
came upon the family when four Of
the older sons were taken from them
by death within a few years, the
parents choosing to deprive them
selves of the privileges Of city life
among congenial friends for the
sake of Healthy outdoor surround
ings for their children. A fifth son
was taken from them about ten
year S after their coming to Redwood
county. Out of the furnace fires of
sorrow father and mother Winn
came out pure gold, and while the
former was gathered to his fathers
about four years ago, atan advanced
age, mother VIM has remained, the
center and queen Of her family cir
Gle, always gentle and smiling
presence which drew to her all Of
her children and grandchildren, it
being noted as fact unusual, that
during her sixty years of married
life she has never been separated.
for any considerable time, from any
of her twelve children except by
death, and at the time her own sum-
mons came, all of her descendants
were living near, with the exception
of one Of seven grandchildren. Her
son Charles and family, who are
visiting in Oklahoma. and daughter
Jennie, now temporarily in Califor-
MIA for the winter, were away, how
ever. Charles arrived yesterday from
the west, having been summoned by
a telegram. Mrs. VIM, like her
husband. was a lifelong Christian.
and her serene face was of itself
better proof of the essential yerities
Of the Christian faith than any SER
mon or book OF today can offer.
The funeral is appointed for next
Thursday, at ! o'clock, from the
VIM farm home.

MOST WOMEN ARE HEROES

Whenever woman does some courageous act
not strictly in line with womans ordinary conduct
all men hasten to pay her tribute.
Ii she flags an imperiled train with her red petit
coat, takes gun to burglar or smashes masher,
at go into high panegyrcs over her heroism.
In the impulse of enthusiastic admiration men mag
unanimously admit that women may be, ON special
occasion, as brave
At the head of this type of womanly intrepidity
stands Florence Nightingale, the Crimean nurse,
lately deceased, whom grateful world is lovingly
embalming in just admiration. Another OF this type
is the famous Ida Lewis Wilson, heroine of Lime
Rock lighthouse, who has saved score OF lives in
adjacent waters Close to these in the admiration
of the public are the noble women who carry the
healing touch of angels into fever-infected places
These brave women indeed and admiration
for them is genuine and irresistible.
But hold on moment!
LIS the selection of such instances these as
types of woman S heroism fair to women in general?
Not all women are army nurses. Not all women
can be lighthouse-keepers or fever angels. Most OF
them must be home-keepers. Are we to ignore the
heroism with which they perform their everyday
tasks?
Let us go into eulogies of these who go nurses
to the battlefeds and hospitals. That is all right
But what about the many more women who bravely
send husbands lovers, brothers, into battle to
be shot?
All praise to the noble who go to the fever
spots and heroicay stay to the end But what Of the
millions of mothers, wives, sweetheaIts sisters who
would die rather than be dragged from the bedsdes
of their dying dear ones?
Who has ever counted the hours that the mothers
of the world have spent in lonely vigil when despair
pressed upon them and closed round about them like
the midnight gloom?
All, these are so that take note
of them.
We are so used to heroism in women that we
think nothing about it until it presents itself spec
taculary in some some unusual way.

THE FOURTH VOYAGE
OF SINBAD THE SAILOR

I rested for some months after
my third trip and then decided to
start forth again. This trip was
smooth and pleasant until one
day, as we were setting out from
a port, a storm overlook us,
whirled the ship about until her
course was lost, and after much
tossing about, sank the entire
ship. BY great good fortune, l
and five of my comrades contrived
raft of some floating timbers,
and after few days managed to
reach land, where we were sud
denly surrounded by a tribe of
black men. They bore us off to
their huts and offered us an herb
to eat. l, however, only pretend
ed to eat mine, and l was very
glad when 1 saw the result. In
short time all my comrades lost
their senses and began talking like
madmen. The black men fed us
all rice and the rest ate very
much, but / ate but a little bit.
After a few weeks they were all
fat, while l grew leaner each day.
One by one the black men ate
my comrades, but 1 was so thin
an dscragged that they spared my
life. Gradually l was given a
great deal of liberty and this gave
me a chance to plan my escape.
One day when everyone in the viii
lage was away hunting, except a
| few old men who were too weak
to pursue me, I succeeded in get
ting away. For seven days l trav-
eled without rest, and upon the
eighth l came upon a group of
men picking peppers in great
grove. You may Judge of my de-
light when l found out that they
spoke my own language. Their
king listened to my story and Of
fered me a home in his own pal
ace and one of his court ladies as
my wife. Being weary of travel
ing, was very glad to accept. But
one day my lovely wife fell sick
and in a few days was dead. Then
