HOLDING MOISTURE IN SOIL
Evaporation Can Be Prevented BY
Cultivation and Keeping Surface
In Fine, Loose Condition.

(By A. B. GRAHAM. Ohio State Uni
versity).
II every farmer were compelled to
haul and pour over each acre OF his
farm over 200 barrels of water per
day, he would gain some conception
of the amount Of moisture evaporated
from an exposed. uncultivated soil. at
this season Of the year. This evapor-
alton varies according to the kind and
condition Of the soil. weather, loca-
ton. ETC.. but under average condi-
tions the sun and wind are rapidly
drawing from the soil that will mois-
ture be needed later in the season
for crop growth. 1t Is just like draw
ing dollars from the farmers pockets.
Now is the time to prevent this
loss. Soil moisture is valuable. Past
records show that an inch of rainfall
in July means $5.000.000 worth Of
corn to the state of Ohio. While
farmers cannot make an inch of rain
fall in July. they can carry an inch
of soil moisture over from May until
July. and that means the same thing.
An inch of rainfall means 113 tons
OF water per acre. II this is allowed
to escape at the rate of 200 barrels
per day. 1t will require only four
days to lose the entire inch. Every
farmer who fails to prevent this
evaporation Is losing his share of that
$5,O00.O00. Are you one of the losers?
How can this evaporation be pre-
sented? BY cultivating the soil. Keep
the surface of the soil in a fine, loose
condition. Follow the ploW with the
harrow. Harrow the cornfleld before
the corn is up: after 1t is up. culti-
vate often enough to keep a good soil
mulch. Don't be stingy with the use
of the cultivator.
The amount of moisture in the soil
this spring Is below normal. Mois-
ture is essential to maximum crop
production.
Conserve your soil moisture. Do 1t
now.

Helping Out scant Moisture.

The best safeguard against drouth.
at this time or later on. is to keep the
cultivator or harrow going. BY thus
stirring the surface soil the capillary
tubes are broken, a mulch is formed
the depth the cultivator goes. and thus
the moisture in the soil below is pre-
vented from evaporating. 1t Is amaz-
ing how much water can thus be re-
tanned in the soil. compared to ground
not SO treated. 1t Is important to fol-
low this practice at once to conserve
the present supplies Of soil moisture.
Moisture during the growing period
Of May and June is even more impor-
tant than during July and August
Crops well started can Withstand
later drouth. whereas plants with
feeble start have a poor show against
the dry time in midsummer.

BLIND TIGER PROBE | ID BE SENSATIONAL Claimed That Excise Board Has Some Startling
 Evidence

The investigation into the alleged sale of liouors to blind tiger operators has been finished by the excise commission as far as the railroad agents testimony is concerned. It is understood that a great deal of very valuable information as to the real situation was dedueed, ana that some sensational announcements Will be made by the commissioners within short time. It is understood that the commissioners will turn their entire en- ergy over to the suppression of the tigers, ard that some scheme of work will be outlined that will capture all of the al legged tiger keepers in one drag net.
 The commissioners, it is said, are very much interested in the information that has been secured relative to alleged blind tiger keepers to remote sections Of the country where it is practically impossible to keep a watch over them. It is said that some astute saloon men have opened up tigers outside Of the populated sec tions, and that rum flows sublimely 1T all of the rural retreats. To the end that such places may be eradicated the excise commissioners will invoke all the powers at their command.
 The commissioners, it is claimed, after getting after the alleged tigers, will turr their attention to the reissuing of saloon licenses. Some of the saloon operators will reapply for licenses, while it is sait others will forsake the regulated sa lon. It is said that many of the saloon keepers cannot make ends meet on ac count of the high license, the high rents they pay for desirable sites and ton ac count of the other high expense charge: made against them.
