CONVENTION NOTES
Hotel keepers are indignant
because the delegates eat eorned
beef.
The hob-nailed shoe has re-
placed the steam roller as an ar
gurnent for regularity.
Several of the delegates whose
favorite bunions have been step

allow their dearest principles
thus to be trampled under foot.
Pres. Taft has been criticised
for his seeming indifference to
the spirit and purpose of the CON

he acknowledges the corn.

Drain Sccpcd Land.

Quite large areas in many of the
irrigated sections of the west have
been ruined by the seepage of irriga-
ton water and the accumulation of al
kali. or even stagnated by standing
water The developments which have
been fostered through the drainage In
vestigations of the department of ag-
riculture have forced upon our atten-
ton the necessity of draining and at
the same time have increased our con-
hdence in the practicability of re-
claiming seeped lands and of restoring
them to their former productfveness.
1t Is quite clear to the careful observer
that the application OF the various
methods which are advocated by the
department Of agriculture In the
drainage Of these seeped lands will
soon be extensively practiced In many
sections Of the irrigated west.

CULTURE OF STRAWBERRY
Some Growers Favor the Hill System
as 1t Overcomes the Necessity
OF Mulchinq.

Some of oru strawberry growers
have come TO prefer the ridge system
Of planting They take an ordinary
breaking plow and throw two burrows
together. This makes a good wide
ridge three and one-half to four feet
apart. a roller or float is drawn over
the ridges so as TO make the tops fiat
and firm. Water is run into the fur
rows between the ridges until the soil
is soaked TO the top. Then, two rows
OF plants are set on the top OF each
ridge. When the plants are set on
the outer edges of the ridge. the
rows are made about - to Is inches
apart and the plants may be set from
u to 10 inches apart in the rows.
The hill system Is thus favored, says
the Denver Field and Farm. Growers
who follow this plan say that it over
comes the necessity of mulching to
keep the berries clean, as the water
never makes the soil wet enough on
the top of the ridges. where the ber-
ries ripen, to soil them. Sometimes
the runners are allowed TO come to-
gether in the middle so as to make a
solid matted row for the second bear
ing season and for the third year a
sort OF renewal is effected by taking
single shovel and bursting out the
mlddles so as to again make two
single rows. Because of the extra dry
condition of the top soil those who
have planted thus far this month find
1t slow work which costs four or five
times as much as II should if the
ground were more moist. for the water
IS not yet running in the bitches. 1t
requires more care in firming the soil
around the roots instead of allowing
the water to do It in the irrigation.
When the bitches are opened and the
water is running this trouble will be
obviated.

Inc matter Of supplying teams for a
farm OF any size is one that is a mat.
ter of Importance from the purely
business standpoint, as we'll as from
personal interest. There was a time
when this question was very general
Tor farmers who had land at all suit
able for the business to raise their
own colts to supply the deficiency
from time to time in the teams for
farm work.
1t is less so now in these days when
making a speciality OF things has
reached the point that seems almost
craze. l am old fogy enough to like
the good old ways" says a writer in
the Farm Progress, and | still think
that on the great majority of farms. If
not absolutely all of them. it will nav
10 raise all the colts that may be
needed for use on the farm. and any
more that can be raised without inter-
fering with the farm work.
There has not often, if ever. been a
time in the last two generations when
IL did pay to raise good horses. And
now, although power vehicles and
power-driven implements have Ger.
tainly taken the place of a vast num-
Der OF horses, first-class animals are
selling at as good prices as they ever
did. Consequently, there is profit in
the business. even if at times it is a
little inconvenient.
The thrifty farmer will generally
make something out of every depart-
ment, If possible, on the farm where
general farming is done. The amount
that can be made will depend alto
gether on the capacity of the indiyid-
ual to supply the executive ability
needed to do justice to a variety of
interests.

to learn is to find out which crops are
