UNSATISFACTORY METHODS

Attention Is called TO the unSaLlSIdc
tory methods Of cultivation whicl
are prevalent in the grain sections o
the state. The bulletin reads:
General careless methods in the
preparation of the land, combined
with the bare fallOw practice. have
resulted in a condition OF sou
which quite generally refuses TO
produce profitable crops Of the
commonly grown varieties or
wheat. The upper layers Of the
soil generally have been depleted
OF humus and nitr6tes thus giving
2 soil which retains moisture to
very much less extent than did the
original soil. This, together with
a lack Of proper selection Of seed,
has been very largely, If not en-
tirely. the cause of the decreasing
wheat Yields per acre in the state
A secondary effect Of failure TO
use first class seed has resulted In
the wheat areas becoming very
badly infected with weeds This
q. condition has been rendered worse
by the common methods of har-
vesting and cultiVaung. In many
localities the soil has become so
Weedy that even with the best
methods of summer following prac-
ticed by the farmer it is impos-
sible to prevent large damage TO
the crops. The weeds in many in
stances crowd out the wheat plants
by outgroWing them during the
winter months.

CASTE IN THE ARMY.
Civilians Find II Difficult to Under
stand Military Discipline.

Civilians Find 1t Difficult to Under
stand Military Discipline.
One thing not commonly understood
among civilians is the completeness Of
the barrier which divides army off,
GERS from the soldiers, or, as they are
more generally called. the "men." It
is always vastly amusing to those IA
miliar with the service to observe the
errors in this respect frequently made
by the novelist and the playwright.
Personal qualifications have nothing
whatever to do with the matter A
soldier may be a gentleman who has
enlisted with the purpose Of obtaining
a commission, yet there can be be-
tween him and his officers no social
intercourse Of any sort, and severe
penalties would be inflicted upon the
officer who would attempt to disregard
the rule.
1t might seem that this enforcement
of a caste sense would result in much
hard feeling on the side OF the men.
Such, however, is not actually the
case. 1t is taken for granted and rec
ognized as conducive to good order
and military discipline" It is a mill
tary regulation like any other and i'm
plies no disgrace. Directly soldiers
enlistment Is out 'or directly he rises
from the ranks the prohibition Is re-
