CHAMPIONSHIP
GAME At FARGO
University and A. c. Clash
Tomorrow in the Crucial
Basketball Game

The university basketball team
leaves tomorrow morning for Fargo
to play the farmers for the state cham.
pionship in basketball. The cham
pionshtp will be decided in tho A. c.
arInory. before an immense crowd.
That the game will be a hot one from
start to. finish goes without saying.
The fact that the university has al
ready, beaten the A. G. this year indi-
Gates that the university is fully ca
pable Of taking "kcer" of itself. But
the fact that the score in the recent
game was close and that tho game
tomorrow will be played on the A. c.
floor makes the agricultural college
dangerous.
The A. C. has a splendid team this
year-one of the best in recent years.
Capt. Leslie Wheeler is the veteran
on the team, this being his fourth year
in tho game for the a. C. Fred Hac-
kett came to the aggies from the state
science school where he made a SPLEEN

work. They will play up to standard

treatment accorded the university peo-

CLUB
GETS FINE HOUSE

Duluth, March S.--Dulutb is prac-
tically assured OF the magnificent new
home for the curling club. At the
close Of the second days campaign
nearly 500 members had affixed their
names to the membership lists. At
this really remarkable rate of pro-
erosion the limit of 1000 members
will he erached before the close of the
present week..
Officials of the club arc more than

PREFERS BROOM CORN TO ANY

(By John Fumes, r. r. D. No. /, Box

My experience in broom corn dates

old fashioned racks, and had to hale

Beginners should not plant too
large a crop the first year.
Beginning with the seed, we raise

ed the best I could secure, and then
used the seed on the very nicst and
finest heads. This is given my per-

likely to have some inferior corn, but
If we do not use care, it win all be

the best sires, and you will have
scrubs enough. The seed planted
should all be subjected to treatment,
and use one pound Formaldehyde to

The corn is carried from the seeder
to the shelves, and shelved at once,
about three inches deep, more or less

until the sap is all out, which requires
from one to two weeks.

RAINFALL RETAINED IN SOIL

Actual experiments show that the
actual field water capacity Of arid
soils varies from IA per cent. for a
very sandy loan to is per cent. for a
clay loan, with an average of about
10 per cent. The greatest water ca
pacity would be even more. At this
rate every 10 inches in depth Of soil
can hold from 2.25 to 2.65 inches Of
water, or an average Of 2.45 inches.
At this rate it is possible to store ap-
proximately % inches Of water in the

Many people labor under the im-

or picked meat, has sometimes killed

always get salt In summer by eating
grass, which absorbs a certain
amount from the soil. But ia winter
it is different. During cold weather

eREEN MANURE IS vALgABLE
l%noroaeeo Fertility and Wator-Hoidlno
Capacity and Hri00o Plant
Food 20 eurfece.

Il is a wen-estabhshed fact biat the
soils of the arid regions are as "a rule
deficient in organic matter. This De.
hciency may be overcome to q certain
oxtent BY any of the three common
methods Of adding organic matter TO
the soil. which are as follows: (a) by
green manures and crop %residues: (b)
by accommodating in pasturing; (c) BY
applications OF farm manures.
Of the methods mentioned. the FIRST
is the most Important and least prac-
ticed II consists mainly In the grow
ing Of a crop which Is plowed under
while tt is green and s%ucculent as Il
decomposes most readily at that
stage.
Leguminous crops. such as alfalfa,
clover, field peas and votches. are
usually recommended for green ma
nures. They have the special power
Of obtaining their nitrogen from the
cir through the agency Of bacteria in
habiting the tubercules on the roots.
The characteristic advantages OF
green manures to the soil are as fol-
lows.
Increases fits fertility by the
large amount Of organic matter which.
It acquires.
2 Increases its water-holding ca
pacity.
q ytilizes soluble plant food that
would otherwise escape from the soil.
4. Brings plant food from the low
er soil to the surface soil.
