KILLING NEAR HAWLEY
SATURDAY MORNING
Both Were Well Known, Having
Lived in That Section For
- Twenty Years

A shooting affray ending in the
instant death of Robert johnson
and which occurred yesterday
morning at the home of Johnson
six miles from Anson, has created
much excitement in that section
of the county.
II is stated that johnson was at
his home when James r. Walker
with whom he had previously
quarreled came there. The old
quarrel which was over a bill for
labor was renewed with the re-
suit that johnson took a shot at
Walker who used a shot gun to
return the fire, two loads of shot
taking effect and killing Johnson
instantly. Walker is now in Jail
at Anson, having walked in to
that place TO give himself up TO
the authorities. He missed a
sheriff's posse which had started
from Anson TO arrest him. The
Anson coroner was called to the
scene to hold the inquest as the
Hawley coroner was at Abilene at
the time of the killing.
johnson was once sheriff OF
Jones county He leaves wife.
He was also a famous trapper.
Both men were well known hav-
ing lived in sthat section Of the
country for twenty years.

BETS REQUIRE MUCH WATER
Investigation Shows Enormous
Amount Used to Produce Crop
Care In Irrigating.

A crop of beets uses enormous guam
titles of water An investigation on
clay loan showed that land having
10 per cent of it's weight water at the
beginning of the season used 100 tons
per acre to produce 15-ton crop from
feet Of soil, 100 tons of which was
lost by evaporation and 90 ton used
by the crop. In general, inch of wa
ter applied to the soil will penetrate
from 3 to 8 inches down, the lesser
distance in clays and heavy loans and
the greater distance in sands and
light loans
Fortunately the beet plant itself is
good Indicator of It's own needs in
respect to moisture-far better, in
fact, that any laboratory method thus
far evolved. When during the time
the beet is making it's more active
growth the light green, bright healthy
color turns to a deeper, dull, rather
purplish tinge, the field is in need of
water. The irrigation must be given
promptly, for If allowed to go the
beets will ripen. Then if water is
given there is tendency on the part
of the plant to produce a secondary
growth preparatory to sending up to
seed stalks, which not only cuts down
the sugar content already laid up, but
also prohibits future formation.

MOTHERS OF THEN AND NOW
Conditions Are Only Different, No

The popular" writer who bewails
what he assumes to be the fact that
the 'old-fashl oned" mother is no more
is liable to defeat his own purpose If
that be intoxicating in children the
highest possible regard for their pa
rents. 1t is a danger which even the
cumulative theory of literature or
space rates cannot justify.
The mother of the past, of course,
was different from the mother of the
present as different on the whole as
the conditions of life them and now,
but since her daughter Is the mother
of the present there must be some
points of similarity. All the good in

he comes very near doing what he
does not intend
The fallacy of the whole sentimen-
tai notion that because things and
people are not like they used to be
they are not as good lies in the pat
ent fact that they cannot be alike, and
if they were 1t would simply be be-

DAIRY NOTES,

Keep stable and dairy room in
clean condition.
Keep only healthy cows. Promptly
remove suspected animals.
Each Individual COW has her cana.
city for production of milk and butter

"A man works best when he lives reg
ularly and it is much the same with
a cow.
Keep the COW stables clean and
don't be afraid to use whitewash fire.
quently.
The ideal type of COW for milk pro-
duction is undoubtedly the strictly
milk type.
Never mix fresh, warm milk with
that which has been cooled, nor allow
it to freeze.
Milk or cream that has become
warm should never be poured back In
to the bottle of cold milk
What filth is dissolved in the milk
will remain to soil it and injure the
flavor and keeping qualities.
With the year around dairying good
stables are necessary, where the cows
can be fed and MIXED in a comfort
able place.
A rather mean way-but a pretty
sure one-to get good cow, is to buy
the one the wife does not want to
have sold.
A cow should have at least six
weeks vacation between milking Pc
RODS. If she is MIXED constantly she
will not last long.
One of the stock arguments used
against the feeding of brewers grains
to dairy COWS is that it produces a
poor quality of milk.
The only absolute way to know what
a cow is capable of doing is to keep
an individual record of her perform
ances for some time.
Even though the testimony of ex-
perience refutes the theory, many
dairymen still continue to believe that
the cows ration has an important
bearing on the quality Of the milk
produced.

"This literature, in part at least, is

department conducted by young col
lege girl in weekly paper. A sam
pie reply in this department ran:
'Bereaved-The reply given last

IRRIGATION SPUD CROP
Water Is Applied Only When
Plant Indicates Need of 1t.
Also Essential That Moisture Be of
Right Quantity and That It Be
Uniformly Distributed-Culti-
walton Needed.

| With thorough cultivation for pota-
toes planted the first of May irriga-
ton Is seldom necessary until July.
Generally speaking, our early 1rrlga-
| ton water is cold and 1t is highly
| important not to irrtgate too frequent
~, for the water not only causes the
soil to run together, but lowers the
temperature to a point that is not
favorable to the growth of potatoes,
writes Eugene H. Grubb in the Field
and Farm. Irrigation water is ap-
piled only when the condition of the
plants indicates that they are in need
of water, as by darkening of the
foliage. Or one may dig down in the
hill and press a handful of soil in the
hand. If it fails to retain it's form,
irrigation is needed. Care should be
taken not to wait until the ground is
too dry, because one cannot cover the
whole field of potatoes in one days
irrigation and some parts are likely
to suffer for water before being
reached.
My experience is that If potatoes
as to become strong and well estab-
lished early in the season, they will
Withstand the maximum of unfavor-
able weather conditions later on,
when the hot dry winds become
menace to the crop. When the time
for irrigation arrives, a V-shaped
trench halfway between the rows
oh h4 IN oil 70 Il
dies with an eight or ten-inch lister
plow; that is narrow pillow with a
double mouldboard which throws the
dirt each way. In these burrows the
irrigation water Is run so that the
soil will not become solidified by
flooding and the necessary amount of
water may be properly distributed.
For the second irrigation burrows are
run in the middles that were not
opened at the first irrigation and this
alienation Is continued for succeed
ing irrigations.
At the head of each field is a feed
er ditch from which the water is ad
mitted to the burrows between the
rows. It Is essential that the right
quantity of water be used and that it
be uniformly distributed. Cultivation
should begin as soon after irrigation
as the soil will permit, so as to in
sure rapid and uniform growth with
out check. This will not only result
in the production of smooth, uniform
tubers Of attractive appearance,
which are always in demand at high
prices, but will also give large, profit
able yields and at the same time
keep the soil in good mechanical con-
dition for future crops. Do not irri
gate after August 10, so as to give
fifty or sixty days for ripening in dry
earth.
If great care and scientific methods
are necessary for best results in the
production Of market potatoes, they
are tenfold more important in grow
ing seed stock for next years plant
ing. Uniform growth of tubers for
seed purposes, without check in de-
velopment, produces seed potato Of
higher vitality than tubers of uneven
growth; and the clean, smooth tuber
with tough skin, free from clinging
soil or dirt, keeps better and is freer
from disease germs during the long
season before the following years
planting.
