Utilizing all the Moisture.

Occasionally our attention is call
ed to instances where farmers are
getting a little nervous over the
shortage in the supply of soil moist
ure, says farm paper AS a mat
ter of fact, the subsoil of most OF
the land in the corn belt is much
drier than usual at this time of the
year and yet corn is terminating
rapidly and in most cases the crop
is making good against the weeds.
We would like to advise farmers
not to worry over the situation. but
where possible pains should be TAX
en- to save what moisture there is.
1t should be remembered that in
the dryer parts of the western
states crops are some times brought
through on twelve or fourteen
inches of rainfall, and indeed it is
not uncommon to find yields of
small grain running as high as six
ty bushels per acre made out of this
small rainfall, That being the case
we should in a measure transplant
the principles of moisture conserva-
ton to our own farms, because they
are just as applicable to the corn
belt as they are to any other region.
AS a matter of fact these principles
apply universally.
In order to insure a maximum
crop if our rainfall is to continue
below normal we must do more
than the ordinary amount of cult
waiting. We realize just how diff
cult this is where one has just so
much horsepower to do the work
with and has a large acreage to at
tend. The average man can tend
thirty or forty or at the outside
fifty acres of corn with a one-roW
cultivator and do it we'll and it will
hold him fairly well if he gets over
the ground three or four times
This being the case it is a little
difficult to put forth even small
amount of extra effort for the pur'
pose of conserving moisture. II
can be done in some cases by in
PRODUCING the two row cultivatOr
while the necessity of the case re
Quires that the soil be stirred very
shallow. Although we are always
in favor of careful cultivation, vel
this year the chief aim should be tC
get over the ground because the
weeds are not as bad as they usual
ly are and an extra cultivation OF
two may make a difference between
half yield and full crop.

TELLS WHAT TO TAX
Separate Question and Are
Not Classed With
Vehicles.

Township assessors and their dep
uties from all sections of Marshall
county met in the County Commits
sioners' rooms at the Court House
on Tuesday. to receive instruction
from c. c. Matson, state tax commits
sioner. Nearly all of the assessors
were present, and a number of their
deputies. Mr.. Matson explained the
question of appraisement of proper
ty to a crowd of twenty-three, in
Guiding County Assessor George W.
Smith. In speaking of the assess
ment of real estate Tax Commissioner
Matson stated that the state board
of tax commissioners had divided the
state into eight districts and that in
the district in which this county
was located the average assessment
on farm property was $30.3S pc,
acre. This will be about the averag.
in Marshall county this year, al
though it is said that the amount
will more likely be a little higher
than lower.
Commissioner Matson also called
attention to number of new ques-
tons which are on the assessment
sheets this year. The new questions
include list of automobiles, whics
heretofore were classed as vehicles
also aeroplanes, although the asses
sors do not expect to find many of the
latter in this county. The last ques
tion is something new, as the person
assessed is asked whether of not any
member of his family or any person
residing with him has any property
which should be assessed. Mr.. Mat
son told the assessors that when il
doubt as to the assessment of prop
erty to "make it high enough ant
then allow the board of review to
make the reduction, if the boart
found proper to do so. His remark.
were well received by the assessor.
and his instructions will doubles;
assist them in getting an equitable as
sessment of property in Marshal
county this year.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
The Library Site

Certain writers in the daily press
have been giving thir views as to the
duty of the Library Board to locate
the proposed Carnegie Library on
this or that lot. Some favor the
cleveland corner, others hive men.
toned the vacant lot adjoining the
River, on Michigan street just south
of the bridge.
1t has been a wonder to the writer
whether this unsolicited advice to the
Board has been wholly disinterested
Ordinarily boards may be entrusted
IN the exercise of sound discretion
In the matter Of location, and for
one | believe the Board will not look
beyond the natural reasons that
ought to aetuate them In selecting a
site. There are always those who are
seeking to influence boards against
the natural reasons and sometimes
this influence is for personal grounds.
The site selected ought to be cen,
trail taking into consideration the
whole city. 1t ought to be on lot
that is not too public and yet near
enough to the business center to
make it available to the business
men. The first cost of the lot ought
not 10 be of paramount influence. A
cheap lot would ordinarily indicate
that it did not possess the element
of being central and desirable-if it
was it would not be cheap. You
can't get first class inside locations
In Plymouth CHEAP. Plymouth
real estate is a very stable commod
it yand if the Board it to be in
iuenced by the cheapness of lot
many could be suggested much cheap
er than either of the sites mentioned
But would they be desirable? Of
course they would not meet the re-
quirements.
A library building is not built fol
the present alone. The tendency of
the growth of Plymouth is to TIE
North, a fact that is evident to any,
one who has kept pace with the
building movement. This must not
be forgotten in selecting a site.
Suppose the Library Board does
go In debt few thousand dollars on
a good location. The debt can be
carried indefinitely for a small in
terest charge and can eventually be
met out of current levies of taxes.
1 feel the Board ought not to Sc
lect lot because they can get it for
the amount they may happen to have
Immediately available, without refer
ence to its desirability and future,
but ought to buy as central as pos
sible. also on lot that has some
prominence.
/ am not advocating any particular
site. That is for the Board and l
only mention the matter at all to re-
mind the Board not to be Influenced
by anything except the public good,
and to remember that the work they
start cannot be altered when once
started, and to admonish them not to
be afraid of little debt.
Debt is sometimes a blessing and
it would be an everlasting mistake
to get bad location for public Ii
brary.

ENLARGED CAPACITY
New Plant Will be Equipped for
Winter and Summer and Will
Have Miles of Heating
Pipe.

Work is about to begin on a plant
three miles south and a half mile
west of Bremen, on the Mrs. Laude-
man farm, that will be one of the
most complete and extensive in the
country for the manufacture of tile,
brick and other clay products.
For some time Frank L. Thomas of
Plymouth has operated a tile factory
south of Lapaz. Having exhausted
the clay available at that place he
finds it necessary to change his loca-
ton. He has just closed the purchase
of twenty acres from Mrs. Laudeman
on which there is an abundant supply
of clay of excellent quality. In order
TO work it he is about to move his
plant to the new location and will
greatly enlarge and improve it.
The new plant will have a greatly
increased capacity and will be equip
ped with steam drying arrangements
and other equipment for operating
all the year instead Ct only part OF
the time. Tile up to twenty-eight
inches in diameter is to be manufac-
tured, as well as brick of various
kinds. The enlarged plant is expect
ed to represent an investment of
$4,000 when completed. Mr.. Thomas
has this week purchased two build
ings from Neff Bros. to be moved to
the new factory site. one from the
Jacob Knoblock farm and one from
the Will Schlosser place. Work on
several other buildings is to be COM
menced as soon as the weather will
permit.
Mr.. Thomas is known as an indus
trious, energetic, progressive business
man, and the big plant he is about to
install, manufacturing products OF
general consumption, will constitute
an important addition to the indus
trial interests Of this vicinity.
