out the witch grass at the same time.
In raising sweet corn for the cannery
or heavier growing varieties for grain
he plants in check rows, being able to
cultivate in both directions. which

killing the grass.
The land is worked over and over

grass is turned and twisted in a man.

The first cultivation is done with a
fine-tooth cultivator and later a wide
tooth riding cultivator is used the

such an implement one man can easily

hand hoeing, the weeds and grass are
killed and the ground is prepared in
the best manner for the succeeding
crop. Best OF all. the corn crop It.

thaniel stood erect. his nostrifs smiling
the air. catching once more the sweet
scent of lilac. He hurried out into
the opening. with the old man close
behind him, and peered down into the
starlit gloom into which the two girls
had disappeared. The lovely face
that had appeared to him for an In
slant at Obadiah's cabin began to
haunt him. He was sure now that his
sudden appearance had not been the
only cause OF its terror, and he felt
that he should have called out to her
or followed until he had overtaken
her. He could easily have excused
his holiness. even II the councillor
had been watching him from the cabin
door. He was certain that she had
passed very near to him again and
that the fright which Obadiah had
attempted to explain was not because
OF the graves. He swung about upon
his companion. determined to ask fol-
an explanation. The latter seemed to
divine his thought.

no longer left a doubt as to the iden

of the councillors wives. SO he
thought. and his own interest in her

effect In other words Obadiah was
becoming Jealous.
For some time there was silence
between the two. Obadiah Price now
walked with extreme slowness and
along paths which seemed to bring
him no nearer to the town below.
Nathaniel could see that he was alb
sorbed In thoughts OF his own. and
held his peace. Was 1t possible that
he had spoiled his chances with the
councillor because Of pretty face and
a bunch OF lilacs? The thought
tickled Captain Plum despite the deli

into an involuntary laugh. The laugh
brought Obadiah to a halt as sud

When the seeds are ripe. gather and
thresh from the pods.
Asparagus will transplant readily in
the fall by using little care.
In all your fall blowing. pillow the
garden. Manure It well and pillow I'M

Hardwood sawdust used moderately
for bedding will not be Injurious to
the soil.
The proper storage Of seed corn is
vitality important with regard to its
termination.
Wild birds are decreasing to an
alarming extent in every part of the
United States.
Tile draining swamp land is claim
ing the attention Of progressive farm
ers more each year.
Do not allow any of that corn crop
to go to waste in any way. 1t will all
be needed this winter.
Places in which to store seed corn
in the fall are numerous, providing
there is plenty of circulating air.
There is no question about the suit
ableness Of corn land to produce good
wheat: the difficulty is to get It sown

It is just ss important to prevent
seed corn from getting too warm as

VERY SERIOUS SOIL TROUBLE

Bulletins 1856 and 100 by Dr. w. P.
station, deal with very serious soil
trouble, that is more or less prevalent
in arid regions. Very many farmers
living in these regions know of bare
spots In their fields or the fields Of
their neighbors upon which little or
no vegetation of any kind will grow.
1t has been common to consider these
areas as places where the alkali comes
to the surface and kills the plants or
places where for some reason the
ground has seeped more than in other
parts of the field. Careful examina-
tons. however, do not show these con-
ditions to be president Doctor Head
den has discovered that the real trou-
BILE is due to the excessive accumula-
ton of nitrates in the form of salt
peter in the soil. The trouble seems
to be increasing rapidly in some cult
waited sections SO that some farms
have been very largely ruined.
The bulletins also call attention to
the fact that the common while alkall
is seldom, if ever, abundant enough In
the soil to do serious injury to plants
its presence on the surface simply In
dicating an excessive quantity of wa
ter in the soil beneath, which should

to this light, which came from the
window Of a large square house built

suddenly conscious that the air was
filled with the redolent perfume of
lilac. With half a dozen quick strides
