Freshly plowed ground left loose,
loses moisture rapidly In hot wea-
ther. Narrowing and packing i'm
mediately after plowing prevents
much of this loss. Harrow attach
ments are made to fit the plaw.
These pulverize the surface Of the
freshly turned furrow, making a
soil mulch that checks the eyapora-
tion as soon as the ground is turned.
These attachments are very effective.
IAN extra horse may be driven
beside the team that is plowing, this
horse drawing one section Of a har-
row. With such an arrangement
the freshly plowed ground is har-
rowed two or three times. The
teams may be unhitched from the
pIow before quitting time at noon
and at night and the freshly plowed
ground lap narrowed. Use the most
practical method and check that

Chapman Lost $4,000
Monday by a Big Fire

Perrill OF the county high school,
and Thomas Quick, were saved only
BY hard work carrying water. Sparks
from the burning lumber and the TOP
OF the elevator were carried over
town by an easterly wind and made
the danger imminent, but no other
losses resulted. This Is the sixth
disastrous fire that Chapman has ex-
perienced in the past Is years and
yet the town is without organized fire
seryice or even the semblance OF
water system. The sanborn lumber
yard was one OF the finest and best
equipped yards in central Kansas.
being enclosed BY 1O-foot stone wall
and practically all under shqlter.
The origin Of the fire Is not known.
Two theories are advanced: one is
that spark from the passenger en-
CINE on the Union Pacific fell on the
roof of the lumber yard unnoticed'
The other theory is that defective
electric light wire. The yard was
wired in nearly all parts and a fuil
current was running to light the
town. The course will never be
known as the entire roof was IN
flames when first discovered az
1880. Some feed and fixtures were
saved from the elevator and nothing
but the electric light plant books
saved from the lumber yard. Mr..
sanborn will rebuild and has already
resumed business to containe the
buildings already begun In town ana
the surrounding country. Poor q
knight will rebuild and already have
force Of men at work. Mr.. Knight
has established an office in P. Scan
Ian's store and will buy grain on the
track.

Chapman, June 2O--At one o'clock
this morning fire started In the lum-
ber yard Of M. p. Sanborn. 1t open
ed with an explosion and 1t is be-
lIeved that chemicals of some kind
were fired by the heat of the past
few days. The fire engines Of the
city, two chemicals costing sl1O0
were stored in the lumber yard and
both burned.
Fire spread to the Poor & Knight
elevator which with Its contents and
the coal sheds, barns and small
buildings adjoining were DESTROYED.
P. scanlon's creamery was also
burned.
The total loss is put at $4,000,
The lumber yard had about $4,000
worth of stock, insured for $4,000.
The elevator was worth $4,000, In
sured for $4,000. The creamery loss
Is about $2,OOO.
1t was the greatest fire loss In
the towns recent history and comes
at bad time for the owners Just
as wheat threshing was beginning.
Had it not been for a still night sew
eral residences across the street to
the north would have been burned.
The fire department was powerless to
do anything toward saving the build
ings.
The toll lines Of the Brown Tele-
phone Co. werc burned out and a
force Of men was sent here this
morning to make the repairs.
The elevator and lumber yard will
be rebuilt soon as possible.
The fire was close to the Union
Pacific tracks and trains we're held
until it was safe to pass.

Prof. Cottrell says Of plans for
a big wheat yield:
.'Now Is the time to prepare for
4 heavy yield Of wheat in 1912. The
yield win be determined chiefly by

effects this fully as much as tne
rainfall. Where wheat Is to follow
wheat or another grain the important
immediate work is to check evapOraF
tiOn from the soil. A stubble field
left untouched after the grain has
been cut may loose each week, from
evaporation, moisture equal to one
inch Of rainfall. Flowed ground left
loose and not narrowed or packed
has lost in "a hours, during hot
windy weather, moisture equal to
one inch Of rainfall.
Careful experiments have shown
that one inch Of rainfall passing
through the plants is sufficient Tor
the production Of three to five bush
els ii wheat. Under ordinary sum
mer conditions this amount Of mois-
ture may be lost in single week.

straight wind coming from the south
west. It was preceded by perfect
calm and a very warm atmosphere.
Its approach was announced by loud
roar. During the wind there were two

probably one of these that took the
barn. Two of the large sliding doors
were carried about a block away.
There was no rain with the storm.

MORE FISH IN LAKE.
Nebraska Commissioner Transfers a
Carload From Blyburg Lake.


Carload From 5lyburg Lake.
A carload of fish, the second of the
season, was dumped into Crystal lake
by William j. O'Brien, state game com.
missioner of Nebraska. The fish had
been taken from Blyburg lake, near
Homer, The latter lake is now com.
pletely devoid of fish.
The stock consisted of catfish, crap
pies and bullheads. All the buffalo
and carp were taken from Blyburg
lake to Snake creek, from where they
will find their way into the Missouri
river. The new supply will make a
great improvement in Crystal lake as
a fishing resort. The fish were
brought in the car Antelope"
Mr.. O'Brien assured the fisherman
living at the lake that he will give
Crystal lake good attention during the
next year. He promised them that he
will bring carload of game fish to
the lake on October and that he will
come next spring and seine the lake
during the spawning season to remove
the gar.
The last Nebraska legislature voted
considerable sum for the work, and
the lakes Of the state will be put In
first class condition.

Pension Bill Chance Lost.

Washington, Aug. S.-What possibly
was the last chance to get pension bill
through the house at this session, was
lost yesterday when Speaker Clark
sustained a point of order made by
Representative Fitzgerald against the
Anderson invalid pension bill. The
democratic-republican congressional
baseball game broke up the session
two hours before the usual time for
adjournment. A number of local bills
had been passed and there was prac-
tically nothing else to be taken up.
Most of the republicans voted against
the motion to adjourn which was made
| by democratic Leader Underwood.
Many of the men hurried to George
town to witness the combat,
