first floor, and the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. W. N. Hendry, on the second floor

Several hundred citizens responded,
and the fire department was quickly on
the scene, with the engine in the river

sence of wind, the flames were confined
to the building in which it occurred and
was a total loss, together with the con-
tents.

The Why.
The first query that comes up after
advice is given to do certain thing.
is, why? What can be gained by doing
it?
Just a thought. When the wheat, oats
or barley crop is standing the surface
of the soil is somewhat shaded and
the usual wind is lifted from the sur
face by the standing grain When the
crop is removed the sun not only shines
directly upon the surface. but the stub
Bile Immediately loses its slight mois-
ture and acts like a mirror, rejecting
the sun even more strongly upon the
surface. causing the evaporation Of the
moisture from the soil very rapidly
The more completely the soil becomes
dried out the less are your chances Of
getting good crop next year
To loosen the surface of the grain
field by disking stops the loss of its
moisture from the surface and causes
the same to increase in the firm soil
below the mulch Now, what happens?
With the increased moisture in the soil.

NIT the air, you have a condition that
the heat of the sun not only does not
act jetrimentally as when the field is
left with the packed crusted surface,
but a chemical action begins by the
combination in the soil of heat, air and
water and the soil Immediately begins
TO replenish itself preparatory to grow
ing another good crop.
The land becoming moist, is in good
condition to pillow. thus making it pos
sible TO obtain a more ideal condition
