AFlRE. JUMPS IN TANK
GIRL BURNED BY kERosENE Ex.
PLosioN SAVES OWN LIFE.
Daughter of James Hutchinson, Living
Near Mitchell, Shows Great
Presence of Mind in Face
of Danger.

Mitchell.-A grown daughter of
James Hutchinson, living eleven miles
northeast of this city, was severely
burned and nearly lost her life when
can of kerosene exploded while she
was attempting to start a fire in the
kitchen stove The father and moth
er were away from home and had left
their eldest daughter in charge of two
small children. In starting the fire
the girl stood too close to the stove
with the kerosene can, which ignited,
causing an explosion. The girl ran
from the house to a water tank stand
ing near the barn fifteen rods distant,
and plunged her body into the water.
The act saved her life. The two
smaller children followed her from the
house and thus saved themselves. The
house. with all its contents, was de-
stroyed. The girl was burned around
the upper portion Of her body, and
will recover if no complications set in.

being to find what can be done in the

whether it can be done practically at
a cost which will make such method
of deep blowing one which is likely to
become the one in general use. The
dry farming operations, which are be-

USE CLEAN WHEAT SEED.
Best Way to Fight Rust, Says Gov
ernment Expert.

eFnmenI GAPSsSs
Brookings. ]. Pritchard,
of the bureau of plant industry OF the
United States department of agricul-
ture, who has been doing special ex-
perimental work at the state college
for some months, has just published
very important paper on rust in wheat.
Prof Pritchard has been making some
tests and experiments in the labora-
tory of Prof. Oliver at the state col
lege regarding the subject of rust, and
some very important discoveries were
made. An examination was made OF
last years crop in the Brookings ele-
vators; wheat grown in dry year and
comparatively free from rust. 1t was
found that the wheat was sufficiently
infected with rust to carry over to
another year and thus carry the dis
ease Prof. Pritchard also learned
that the rus. fungus penetrates the
intercellular spaces and cells OF the
Seeding, and after germlnation passes
into the spaces between the leaf
sheaths, where it grows rapidly and at
tacks the tissues at various points.
"1ne obvious remedy for avoiding
the ravages of this fungus" says Prof.
Pritchard, lis the use of clean seed.
1t is quite evident that only seed from
crop free from rust should be plant
ed" The use of chemicals to destroy
the rust fungus is of very little value
because the fungus is protected.

meeting has done great deal of good
toward stimulating irrigation in this
