Saved Two Years Ago.

Two years ago the bureau of fisheries
returned $500 fish to the Potomac river,
$4,000 of which were smelt, 1850 bream
$50 rock bass. $40 suckers, $50 yellow cat
fish, $50 small-mouthed black oass, 275
Yarmouth bass and 26O large-mouthed
black bass. All of these were adult fish,
and when it is considered that about half
of them were females, each of which will
reproduce at least 10000 young. the value
of saving the fish Is appreciated more
fully.
Mr.. Johnson stated that it would be
at the inlets to the canal which would
prevent the fish from entering the water
way in the spring. and has no doubt a
satisfactory solution of the problem could
be found, but the bureau lacks jurisdiction
in the matter and has no appropriation
with which to do the work.

it was not closed until ice began to
form. thus making it impossible for the
bureau to save the large quantities OF
fish. practically all of which died.
The fish taken from the canal range
from minnows to bass Weighing two and
half pounds. The largest number are
usually caught between Harpers Ferry
and Seneca. AS the water recedes from
the canal the fish collect in holes at the
bottom. thus preventing them from leav-

reau did not remove them from these

they would all perish. 1t has been found
impracticable in the past to save the fish
which are in the canal above Harpers
Ferry. because the holes in which they
lodge in this portion of the waterway are
Of very rocky character. and the work
would involve a much greater outlay of
money than the appropriation of the bu-
reau will permit.

of Robert S. Johnson OF the division OF
fish culture. assisted by Capt. l. g. Har-
ron, superintendent OF the central station.
In accordance with the custom Of the
canal officials when the nearness of win
ter requires the closing Of the canal to
navigation. they began drawing of the
water last Monday
At the same time Capt. Harron took
the necessary measures to save the fish
which had accumulated in the canal dur
ing the spring and summer and began
operations between Georgetown and Har-

jackson. Miss, Nov. 12-That
the recent Mississippi state fair
carried its lessons as q practical
demonstrating medium as to Mis-
sissippi's possibilities and the
adaptabilities Of soil, climate and
other natural conditions to their
use and betterment, is demon
strated by comments of people
who visited the big show in or
der to see and learn. A case in
point is furnished by the Port
Gibson Revelle, which had the
following comment:
THE state fair clearly demon
strates the woeful lack of good
horses, cattle and sheep. The
hog show is a credit to any state,
and the agricultural exhibit is
indeed creditable, but we need
better and larger horses, and
better beef cattle. Davis & Turn
er, the Hereford and Red Polled
men of the state, had excellent
displays, as did our home man,
Mr.. Clark. But the state as a
whole, does not seem to apprec-
late the higher type of horses
and cattle.
1.-The daily herds at the fair
were poor, indeed. Any one of
of the dairy helds of Claiborne
has better specimens, and the
horses were poor and really a
dlscredit to the state.
However, the fair as a whole,
is fine, and will go a long ways
towards stimulating state pride.
as we'll as encouraging many who
did not exhibit to try to win
some of the many cash prizes Of
fered."
1t may be said that the fair
management in drafting their
premium lists went the limit of
their resources, and it is hoped
before another state fair is held
the organization will be stronger
and better equipped than ever to
attract the men who have their
fine stock to show. which de-
partment is the life and show
feature of the annual fair to a
very large proportion of the peo-
pie who spend their money in or
der to reach the grounds.
The next big show to be held
in the state will be the initial
effort of a new organization to
demonstrate what is going on In
the realm of feathered stock in
the state. tits announced that
the first annual show OF the North
Mississippi Poultry Association
will be held at Tupelo on Deem
ber5, 6 and Z, next. The cata-
logue, which has been gotten out
at considerable expense, is one
of the most attractive publica-
tons of it's kind, with eiRhty-four
pages of matter, dealing with
poultry and poultry premiums
and classifcations. About forty
silver loving cups are to be dis
tributed. and other trophies val
ued at six hundred dollars have
been provided for the winners in
this great poultry competition.

manure is Objectionable as It tends to
hold up the furrow slice and allow the
soil to dry out On this account it is
usually better to use the manure as
top dressing after the wheat Is
seeded
In sections where the Hessian Fly
has done little or no damage to previ.
Gus crops 1t Is best to seed fairly
early so that the young wheat plants
will make a vigorous growth and be-
come quite hardy before the winter
sets in. A good time to seed is from
the 10th to the goth of September.
If the ely" is bad somewhat later
seeding (the first two weeks in Octo-
ber) is preferable, as the adult in
sects will lay most Of their eggs on
the early seeded wheat. In some Sec
tions the "fy" has done considerable
damage to the crop just harvested and
Is liable to be worse next year. This
insect should be carefully watched by
wheat growers during The next few
years.
Wheat growers should by all means
get the best seed wheat obtainable.
There Is much difference in varieties.
Usually the red or harder wheats will
weigh more per bushel, make better
flour and bring little more on the
market than the white or softer
wheats. The white wheats, however,
frequently yield better, especially on
low lands and during moist seasons.
The Shepperd's Perfection, Buda Pest,
Century and Niger are good wheats
of the first class, while the Early
Windsor, American Banner and Ply.
mouth Rock are some OF the better
white wheats.
A careful application Of the above
suggestions; the preparation OF fine.
fairly firm and moist seed bed, which
will insure a quick even termination
of the seed; the fairly early seeding,
which will favor a vigorous growth
In the fall and an abundant stouling
! in the spring, and the seeding Of
wheat of some of the better adapted
varieties will do much to increase the
yield and profit Of the Michigan wheat
crop.
Charlevoix county herald., 1911-09-02
Preparing for the
Seeding of Wheat
BY Y. M. Shoesniifh, Professor Of Farm Crops
Michigan Agricultural College

The usual practice In growing wheat
in Michigan Is for the wheat to follow
oats, barley or other crops which are
removed from the field in mid-sum-
mer. The previous crop takes most
Of the moisture; then after harvest
the field, with little vegetation to act
'as a cover, is exposed to the hot sum-
mer sun and winds. AS result the
evaporation is excessive and the field
soon becomes too dry to plow in good
condition If, indeed, it can be plowed
or early In September before a good
rain Is secured, and much Of this runs
off because of the hard condition Of
the soil. 1t is practically impossible
to prepare good seed bed for wheat
by this method OF plowing late when
the soil is In poor condition, and the
effect is invariably seen in the crop.
II the oat field had been examined
just previous to harvest a sufficient
amount Of moisture would have been
found to enable the field to have been
plowed In fairly good condition. The
disking or plowing of the soil would
have made a soil mulch which would
have preserved most of the moisture
and left the soil in ideal condition to
receive the rainfall. The important
thing In connection with the prepara-
tion of a seed bed when the moisture
Is limited or when the time Is short,
as In the case OF wheat following
spring grain. is to get on the field
early; only a day or two delay may
mean the loss of so much moisture
that all operations must stop until
the next rain.
If a field can be plowed at once
after the removal OF the previous crop,
this may answer very well, but It is
better, especially II the plowing can
not be entirely finished within very
few days, to use the disk harrow to
form a mulch to hold the moisture un-
I'll the ground can be plowed and har-
rowed. II sufficient teams and help
are available the disk may follow I'M
mediately behind the binder before the
grain is shocked or II may be oper-
ated between the rows Of shocks, eth
er Of which means are better than to
delay disking until the crop Of grain
has been removed from the field.
It is a more or less common prsc-
tice to plow under manure In the late
summer for fall seeding OF wheat.
This practice gives good results in
case the manure is applied In a thin
coat and is fine and we'll rotted. The
blowing under OF thick coat of coarse
