The White River Dam.

Last Friday party of the men who
are interested in the building of the
big dam across White River for the
purpose OF generating electric power.
were in town and visited with some of
the county Off GERS and business men.
They were simply here getting acquaint-
ed with the people and looking over the
country: They have been along the
river from the railroad down to the site
of the dam, and seem to be well pleas
ed with the proposition.
In the party were Messrs. Zwart,
Morrison, Mccall and Laird. MIR. Zwart
has been in Taney county most of the
past winter running the lines for the
construction and to show where the
water will stand when the dam is COM
pleted. The other gentlemen are from
St. Louis.
It is said that the active construction
WORK will begin in the near future and
be pushed as rapidly as rapidly as pos

YIN. C. A. Improvements At HolIlster.

James II. Banks. state secretary of
the Y. NJ. c. A., is here conferring with
w. L. Wnaples, chairman of the camp
committee relative to plan for landscap-
ing the Y. M. c. A. recreation grounds
at Hollister. Mr.. Banks spent yester-
day at Hollister in company with ]. S.
Butterieid, landscape engineer of the
Missouri Pacific railway. going over the
proposed improvements, which will in
clude among other thingssan approach,
entrance gateway, drives leading to all
portions OF the grounds, a bungalow
section atheletic field, tennis court,
croquet grounds and play grounds for
children. Locations selected for public
buildings, auditorium, dining room,
kitchen and laundry. Groups of shrub
berry and trees and borders of flowers
will mark the various divisions and path
ways dividing them. A foot bridge
will be constructed across Turkey creek
near the White river, thus connecting
with the bride path leading north from
Front street through Camp Hollister and
thence along Turkey creek to the ferry
landing and boat houses on the banks
of White river.
The Y. M. c. A. drives and paths
will form a link in the system of drives
and bride paths being developed on
the Presbyterian assembly grounds and
Hollister townsite by Mr.. Butterfeld.
These are rapidly being graded and
graveled and bordered with shrubbery.
Mr.. Banks says that several build
ings and bungalows will be erected this
season; among them he expects a cott-
age for himself and family. He ex-
pects greatlyd increase patronage and
will install double the facilities of last
year. The camp will open June / and
extend into September. Several large
conferences are already scheduled and
more are expected, while large general
is expected from Missouri
and Kansas cities. Springfield Leader.

Peach Planting and Care.

In setting many thousand peach trees
of various sizes. I have found the Q to 8
foot June bud the best size tree for
planting. Trees should be set no deeper
than they grow in the nursery and in
holes not to large. ALI branches should
be cut off and the roots heavily cropped.
I prefer new ground to all other, and I
follow winter and clearing by spring
setting. I perfer late fall setting where
practicable.
The location of peach orchard is
of greatest importance. They shonld
be set on high, well-drained ground,
the short slope being the best. Air
drainage is an important consideration.
Cut back one-fourth to one-half the
growth the first and second years, and
then think twice before cutting back
heavily in succeeding years. Trees
dehorned this season will not bear the
next. Peach trees should be headed
low and should have limbs well thinned
and the centers open.
The distance apart for setting should
be in proportin to the richness of the
soil, 18 feet the minimum distance, with
25-foot driveways every 10 rows. The
first row should not be set less than
IS feet from the fence, to leave ample
room for turning in cultivation, in spray
ing and in harvesting the crops.
The cultivation of peach orchard is
to me the most important of all con-
sideration. care more about cultiva-
ton than I do for the fertility of the
soil. I have gathered ID bushel of
peaches from 2-year-old trees, and that
after cutting back and out one-third
the top, and by hand trimming taking
off one-fourth and one-third the peachs.
Remember that by thinning had as
many bushel. but not as many peaches.
Never use turning plow close to
peach OF any other fruit tree. Use
double or triple shovel or ive-tooth
cultivator, and break outthe remainder
with a turning plow for the first few
wears, but as the roots extend more to-
ward the center use the two-horse cul-
tiyator. and Breeze.

Raising Corn on Thin Land.

In my fifty years of tickling the soil I
have found fall blowing wins seven
times out of 10. do not mean SKIM
ing the ground, turning over the same
soil that has been used for years, but
getting down deep. Take good strong
team, strong plow and strong man,
turn up some soil that the sun has
never sshone on, about 8 inches deep
and put the old worn-out soil down in
the bottom. You will be surprised at
the virtue in that new soil.
prefer listing, or double listing if not
fall plowed, but before listing disc il
both ways and if not throughly pull
verized, harrow until it is fine. After
listing check it with a corn planter a.
bout feet inches apart and plant
two or three grains in hill. AS soon
as it is sprouted begin narrowing and
keep the harrow going until you have
gOuS OfGI IL tWO VI lillCC tlluCS du0 tElC
corn is inches high. Then put your
bull tongue on the cultivator next the
corn and plow deep the first time. but
shallow ever after, and plow as often as
possible after rain. When the corn
gets too large to cultivate, sow cowpeas
and run through each row with horse
hitched to an old mower wheel. If this
does not cover the peas go over them
twice.
If your soil is badly run down, SOW
to clover, haul out manure and refuse
of every kind, don't burn a straw or
stalk, and turn it all under. In few
wears your thin land will raise corn
again. I find white corn best here. I
raised 80 bushel of corn last year on
bottom land 20 acres which had been
in corn for II years in succession.

Dam Engineers in

Stretch line for rows; it is just as easy
to have them straight. Have the
plants, with roots moistened carried by
boy, Use smooth, fiat garden spade
and set it down deep where the plant
is to be. Tip it forward and have the
boy slip in plant in the cleft behind
the spade, the roots spread out fan
shaped. Withdraw the spade and with
the foot push the dirt firmly back a.
gainst the roots and the work is done,
done easier and quicker than any other
way ever tried. In this way the roots
get down to firm moist earth and every
plant Will grow. The plants should be
set so the crowns are just even with the
surface, not to shallow nor to deep.
In town where gardens are small it
will do to lay out rows 8 feet apart but
if farmers grow strawberries at all it must
be done at the least possible outlay of
time and labor. Make the rows 4 feet
apart at least and with the rank grow
ing sorts I have found feet still better.
At that distance nearly all the tending
can be done with horse and cultivator
and if done at the right time, at little
cost and labor. Start the cultivator
right away and run through them once
week during the growing season.
Always run the cultivator in the same
direction around the rows. That will
brush the runners always in the same
direction and cause them to set in the
same direction and cause them to set
in proper places. Narrow up the culti-
vator as the plant begins t. set but al
ways keep clear space between the
rows D feet wide. Do not cut runners
as it is too much work. Tear up and
cover those that insist on establishing
themselves in the cultivated space.
When winter sets in and the ground
is frozen mulch 4 inches deep with
straw free from weed or grass seed and
in spring when there is no more danger
of hard freezing rake about half the
mulch off between the rows wlrere it
will make good path when picking
berries, also holding the moisture. The
straw left on the rows will keep the
berries from getting gritty.
This may look like rough way to
grow strawberries but it is a farmers
way and it works all right for have
tried it for 40 years and only failed
twice, once from white grubs and once
from frost. Try it, you Kansas farmers
and for once surprise your wives with
more big, lucious, ripe, red straw
berries than they know what to do
with.-Mail and Breeze.

All appointments to state Offices

Republican Governor his rights, at

custom and to bestow executive patron

Editor Republican,
The St. Louis Republic, under date
of the 5th inst. contains an article con-
cerning me that is false which I wish
to correct. The Republic says that I
claimed that I said that I found hu-
man jawbone and teeth in package of
coffee, which I could not prove. The
fact is that found in package jaw
bone and three teeth of some small
animal, and on previous occasion have
found glass in Arbuckles coffee. The
above facts I will be qualified to. Will
you publish the above.
