A Woman's Strange Conduct Had
Equally Strange Explanation.

Mrs. Alva Henderson of Phoe-
nix, Ariz., left a baby few weeks
old in the arms of another woman
at the Union Depot IN Kansas.
City Saturday, saying she wanted
to 60 to the baggage room. She.
did not return. Mrs. Henderson
later left a boy several years old
at the depot, disappearing again.
"A few hours later she returned
with a third baby and was arrest
ed. 1T was a mystery.
She told several stories, but fin
ally made this statement which
she said was the correct explana-
ton: Her husband wanted a girl
baby. During his absence she
went to Amarillo. Tex, to get a
baby which had been offered to
her. She was disappointed to find
the baby a boy. She took the boy
baby to Kansas City, left it in the
depot and went for a girl baby
which had ben promised her. The.
second child, which was her own,
she did not expect to desert, but
merely left it at the depot for safe
keeping while she was getting the
girl baby. Having secured the
girl baby, she had returned to the
depot for her own baby, and was
going back to Phoenix with the
girl baby and her own son when
officers interferred. Mrs. Hen
derson said she believed her hus-
band, who was a Santa Fe detec-
tive, would make it a point to
come off the road oftener if there
was a girl baby at the house. She
was held pending Investigation,

was admitted and that the honor

Harvesting the Crop.
AS to harvesting the crop. the feat
ure which is of most Importance with
reference to the future of the fax crop
in this country is that the seed should
be evenly matured. To accomplish
this, the seed bed must be made so
even that all OF the seeds can be plant
ed at the same depth; thus, they will
come upon the same day and mature
essentially on the same date.
The harvesting and saving of the
seed should be done In such manner
that after the seed is matured no
moisture should come in contact with

What Must BE pone.


If, under dry land agriculture, sue
cess with fax is desired, my advice
is:
/. To try small areas until those Of
you who are unfamiliar with the de-
mands Of the crop. and the methods
of handling 1t are able to gain some
experience at first hand.
2. Give the most scrupulous atten-
ton to the selection of seed OF bright |
clear color and plump form, and to the |
preparation of the seed bed In such |
manner as to make 1t maintain the |
moisture supply up to the point of |
complete boil formation placing the |
same in such physical texture as to
form very solid, firm protection for
| the roots : In the seed selection work, !
select only seed of bright color. and
plump form, for these are the ones
which grew upon mother plants which
were probably not attacked by root
| diseases Procure the seed as far as
possible. from region of atmospheric
| and soil conditions similar to those
upon which you are farming, and nee
| having procured that seed, each year
after the first sowing, save your seed
and SOW 1t the following year. After
/ having procured seed Of this best quail
/ ity, grade 1t in tanning mill so as to
grade out all chaf and old parts of
the plant; then disinfect the seeds by
the use of formaldehyde In such man
ner as to kill all Of the parasitic
spores which may be busted upon the
!, exterior of healthy seeds. Rotate in
such manner that flax will not appear
upon the same land more often than
once in Ave or six years, and In this
period there should be at least one or
more years OF thorough cultivation.
/ The corn crop and pasture lands seem
! to be the best possible preparation for
} the soil.

note that II Is much more easy TO

Difficulties to be Met.


There are several features with re-
gard to cropping to flax for seed pro-
duction which are quite arbitrary In
their demands.
i. The crop, unless great care is
taken in the selection of the seed and
the proper disinfection OF the same,
carries to the new land certain para
site diseases which will remain per-
sistent in the soil after being once in
troduced, and they are capable OF eg-
sentially destroying any following
crops OF flax.
g. Unless moisture lie quite evenly
maintained in the soil in sufacieni
quantity to produce growth during the
time just preceding boil formation, the
crop is apt to develop its seed upor
