BARE FALL0W IN ARID REAS
Experiments at Indian Head Show
Possible Yields That May Be OBJ
talned on Fallow Land.

The experiments conducted at In.
dian Head. Sask.. at the government
experiment station. show In very
striking manner the possible yields
that may be obtained from growing
wheat on fallow land under dry condi-
tons. The figures submitted below
cover a period Of 20 years. They are
Held returns. which are always
smaller than returns from plats.
The period covered begins with 1891
and ends with 1910. The average
yield Of red fife spring wheat for the
said period was 1896 bushels. The
average precipitation during the en-.
tire period was 1909 inches annually.
This. however. does not include the
snowfall. hence SO far the record Is
Incomplete. But the snow fall at In.
dian Head is usually light
In 1892 on a rainfall Of 6.92 inches
the yield was $500 bushels. In 1894
OH rainfall OF 39 inches 1t was l7.5

9.44 inches the yield was 1920 bush.

During the same years the oat crop
on summer fallowed land gave an av.
erage Of S2.33 bushels per acre. Dur
ing three of those years 1t went over
the one hundred bushel mark. In
1903. on a rainfall OF 1856 inches. It
was 1892 bushels per acre. These
facts are very striking. They show
what may be expected In dry areas Of
the semi-arid northwest where the
best OF cultivation Ia given to the land.
In 1892. on a rainfall Of 6.92 inches.
the yield was SIS bushels. In 1894
on rainfall OF 80 inches 1t was "a

9.i4 inches 1t was 81 bushels.
1t should be stated. however. that
the returns In wheat were not exactly
proportionate to the precipitation. In
1900. for instance. with a precipitation
Of 17.74 inches the yield OF wheat was
only l7.+9 bushels. and In 1907 with a
rainfall Of 1917 inches the yield was

determining yields in dry areas.
II should also be borne In mind that
the yields given relate to crops grown
on summer fallow land. This would
mean that a return Of 16.48 bushels
was the return for each year in wheat.
and that 41.16 bushels was the return
In oats. The one crop grown in two
years would involve considerably less
labor than two crops grown In the
same period. The summer following

Haydn the Composer, Writes Music
for Butcher and Receives Beef
as Payment.

There is no sensible reason for
the titles attached to many pieces of
music. some Of them even classical
selections. Most generally they are
placed there as an attempt OF some
publisher to boom" his stock and sell
his goods. Then. again. some pecu.
liar titles may have their origin in
incidents about as important as the
following:
Haydn one day received a visit
from a butcher who said that himself
and his daughters were admirers OF
Haydn's music. and as the young
woman was soon to be married, he
made hold to ask that the composer
write a minuet for her wedding Kind
Papa Haydn" consented and In a
few days the man of meat obtained
his music. Not long afterward.
Hadyn was surprised to hear this
same minuet played under his win
dow. On looking out he saw a band
of musicians forming a ring around
n large OK. tastefully decorated with
flowers. Soon the butcher came up
and presented the OK to Haydn. say
ing that for such excellent music he
thought he ought to make the COM
poser present of the best OK in his
possession. Ever after this little
