ptfanu Of Soil.

At this time of the year some
soil will blow. The best i'm.
mediate remedy is to spread
thin layers of straw or manure
in strips across the fields.
The permanent remedy is to
grow a crop that puts grass
roots into the soil. The best
grasses for this are bromus
inermus and western rye grass.
These grasses have large root
systems. thus binding the soil
grains together a good deal as
they were in the native sod.

young farmer resides and not

his choice, a comely rural lassie.
Three years ago they were en-
gagged to be married, when one
day the young swain received
a letter supposed to have been

q time there was a regular
fusillade of correspondence
back and forth. The engage.
ment was broken and for years
the couple has not spoken to
each other.
To make matters more COM
plicated the young woman
started an action against her
former lover for SANDER and the
case was to have been tried be.
