Owing to the increased funds and
staff through federal cooperation this
seasons survey will be more than
twice as great as previously andBarnes
County will be completely mapped by
November. Later the map and report
on the soils and their condition will be
available for free distribution. Pend
ing that time, information as to indi-
vidual sections can be had by private
correspondence with the Director of
the Agricultural College Survey.
With the Director are Messrs. Holm
es, Anderson and Boucher in soil sam
ping and mapping, road materials and
water supply while Prof. Bergman is
making systematic plant survey.
Professor Moryland as the survey bac-
teriologist is continuing the work Of
Prof Beckwith, Mrs. Hard is aiding in
collecting data on road materials and
in .. brief histo"y CT Barnes County.
Professors Hard and Bergman will
later take up their work in the Bad
Lands of Billings Co. and the former
will visit the interesting geological
field of the Yellowstone Park.
Another note of large scientific in
terest lies in the fact that Prof. Frank
Leverett, the noted federal glacial
geologist will spend the last half OF the
season in the state, and has written
the Director that he will arrive early
in August.

SOIL SURVEY IN BARNES COUNTY
IS RAPIDLY NEARING COMPLETION
PROGRESS of the W0rk---fieId work to Be CON-
p|eted By November Was Begun
Last Summer By State Surveyors.

Reinforced this year by federal men
and money the Soil Survey of Barnes
County is rapidly nearing completion.
This work was begun last summer by
the state surveyors and large block
of townships in the east and north
east sampled and mapped. This sum
mer the work has swept south from
the N. P. and now the whole north
half of the county has had it's soils
tested.
The mapping will now be pushed in
to the northwest townships.
Farmers in nearly every section of
the county have been interested in
seeing one or the other OF the survey
parties drive up, take out five foot
augur and mysteriously proceed to
bore a hole in the ground. Most OF
them are wise, but others hazard as
a guess anything from water to gold
as the object of the A. c. mems
quest. There is plenty of water this
season, and, better than gold are the
soils which We find widely spread
over most of the county; Such soil as,
with a bundant water, or the tillage
that conserves what does tai, will
turn a wealth of gold

About one-third of Barnes County
was surveyed last summer by the
state corps. When Mr.. Holmes report
ed to Professor Hard the work was
rapidly continued by two soil sampling
parties until now only the northwest
corner of the county remains IN
touched. This will be completed in
August and September.

However, those farmers using their
own or we'll acclimated seed have a
"catch" to do credit to the corn belt.
Just here is the rub. Many farmers
carelessly neglecting to select seed
last September, from their own fields
were forced to buy It at five and six
dollars per bushel.
Much of this was from corn not &C.

a total failure. Corn has great fu-

grain crop, but this mismanag cement of
seed selection has given it five year

widow, met almost instant death late
this evening at the home Of his uncle,
Floyd Woods, near Wits Foundry.
Mr.. Woods was engaged in shoeing a
horse when the little fellow appeared
and asked to hold the animal. The
horse, being an unusually gentle ami
NAL, the uncle gave the little fellow
the reins and resumed his work.
Shortly after the horse jumped, knock

few minutes, the boys breast being
badly crushed.

AGES OF CANDIDATES
FOR PRESIDENCY

1t is interesting to know that every
one of the seven candidates, even in
Guiding Roosevelt; has been admitted
TO the bar, and five of them have had
successful careers in the law. Two have
been judges. No one of them is bust
ness man, and no one, save Mr.. Har-
mon, has had any considerable expert
ence with business affairs, either large
or small. No one of them is rich man,
and, though several of them, by virtue
of their high talents, have been able at
times to earn large incomes, they have
all been hard workers. Two or three
of them have been relatively poor men
all their lives, living frugally and de-
voting themselves unreserved to public
work.
All of the candidates, save Wilson,
have had long experience in public Of
flee and in dealing with public men and
public questions. While most of them.
can be called able politicians, no one of
them belongs to that extreme type
known as amechine politicians boss.
There is to the credit of every one of
them not little sound public service.
All of the seven, save possibly Har-
mon, are at the very prime of life for
national leadership. These are their
ages:

the vicinity of this farm very much
upset and excited about the disease; in
fact, the people had even ceased using
the public road which goes by Mr..
Taylor's place, so much were they in
fear that their animals would become
infected with the supposed contagious
disease. A port-mortem examination
was made on the mule which died the
day arrived, and no evidence of any
contagious disease was detected. |
found the hay and corn which Mr.
Taylor was feeding to be badly mould

even rotten. There is no doubt in my
mind that cryptogamic poison. from

SPLENDID PERFORMANCE
OF SCHOOL STUDENT


Students of the Morristown High
School gave play here, Friday night
which will stand as credit, not only

well. The young ladies and young
men who composed the cast which rem
dered "Tom1kins' Hired NAM gave
a rendition ofthis playlet which would
have been credit to any company of
performers. The only thing to MARI
in any way the performance was the
storm which came up near the close of
the play and gave most of all in al
tendance a scare.
The playlet was interspersed with
specialties, recitation by Miss Rose
Rice being a feature.
The departure of the boat at the end
of the first act was a scenic effort which
caused much comment in house such
as the Newport Opera House, and the
quartet,e which sang at the close of
the second act wasexceptionally good.
Miss Aileen Fisher in the difficult
role of the aged and grabbed Mrs.
Tompkins, did everything which
could have been expected of her. Miss
katherine Taylor as Ruth, a rompine
soubrette, and Miss Mildred sipeck the
adopted daughter Of the Tompkins
were good in their parts. The comedy
furnished by Miss Mabel Grigsby as
Bobbinette Scotch NJ laid and Claude
McCurry an amusing Scotchman, was
good, neither going to extreme with
their parts.
Tie attendance was not as large as
it should have been, but each and

of the visiting young people and the
