Three-year -oId Gladstone
WadsW0rth Drowned
In The NaHoWs Pond Between
5 and 6 O'clock, Thursday.
Playing In Boat About 20 Yards
From Shore--Nater Was Shallow.

Gladstone Wadsworth, the 3-year-
old son of Francis G. Wadsworth,
superintendent of the Winthrop and
Hallowell schools was drowned in the
Narrows pond. between and 6 O'Clock,
Thursday.
Gladstone. i'm company with his
brother, Alfred who is four years old,
and Philip Sturtevant. who is six
years of age went to the shore of the
pond, evidently with the intention Of
playing along the shore, and in the
course of their games. they came upon
a boat.
The Sturtevant boy and youngest
-Nadsworth boy released the boat
from the shore and went about 20
yards from the shore. The SturteVant
hoy evidently attempted to swim
ashore. bur failed and in some way
young Gladstone fell overheard.
Nothing can be learned from Alfred
Wadswerth as to how his brother fell
into the pond. His story is 50 inco-
herent that il WAS only by close
questioning that anyone was able 10
get the facts at all.
At the time of the accident the
older brother ran to the house of n.
w Peck. who lives quite a distance
away and gave the alarm. Mr.. Peck
reached the scene in time to save the
Sturtevant boy but was unable 10 find
Gladstones body. The water was
shallow at this point but the lad was
so small that 1t was over his head.
Young Sturtevant is in a very seri-
ous condition, as a result of his eX-
perienee.
Young Gladstone's body was recov-
cred by his father. however. later in
the evening. Friends and the parents
of the little lad are plunged into the
deepest of sorrow because of the UNI
timely death of the boy.
The Winthrop High graduating ex-
ercises that were to be held, Thurs
day evening, have been postponed, be-
cause of the accident.

INCREASED VALUE OF FARMS
Census Bureau Gives Aggregate In tho
Arid and Semi-Arid Regions as
$1O,488, 900 oOn.

The arid and semi-arid regions make
a remarkable showing In farm values.
according to the census taken last
year.
A bulletin recently issued by the
census bureau shows that the aggre-
gate value Of farm land in the sec
tons named is $10,4SS, 200, 900. This
markable because of the contrast with
the $3,249, 000 900 indicated by the cen
sus of 1900.
The value Of farm land In the arid
and semi-arid regions In 1910 was
nearly half that of all the farm land
in the United States ten years before
that year Whether values of this
kind In other parts of the country
increased in the same proportion or
not, 1t is evident that they made a
big advance; and from 1t all one may
form an idea of the vast growth In the
country's wealth from this source
The census report should open the
eyes of people In the east and middle
west to the importance of that part
of the country which lies west Of the
ninety eighth meridian. 1t forms
nearly half the area of the national
domain outside Alaska and the insular
possessions; and the great increase in
farm land values In ten years sug-
gests the importance Of the part It
will play in the national development
i OF the future.

FOR SAVING MOISTURE
Type of Soil Should Determine
Depth of Flowing.
Certain Kinds OF PloWs on Market
Which Have Tendency to Thor
oughIy Mix Soil From Bottom
and Top Of FurroW Slice.

(3y ALVIN KEYSEf. Colorado Agricul-
tural College.)
Abe question Of whether land
should be plowed deeply or not Is
largely a question Of the type OF soil
with which one has to work. II the
soil is quite sandy, much shallower
blowing will give better results than
II the soil Is a silt loan, clay loan
or adobe. Deep blowing should be
performed for certain definite pur-
poses; chief among these is making a
deep reservoir to catch the water
that falls. A sandy soil does not need
such treatment because water pene-
trates very sandy soil with very
little difficulty without the deep plow-
ing Such a soil is also sufficiently
loosened and aerated for crop grow
ing purposes On heavier soils, how
ever, such as the silt loans, clays,
clay loans and adobes, deep blowing
is Of decided advantage. 1t enables
the precipitation obtained to pene-
trate the soil in which humus is
blended. AS a consequence deep plow-
ing on the heavier soils is always OF
advantage If 1t is done sufficiently
long before the crop is put in to allow
nature through time and rainfall to
properly compact the furrow slice,
Such deep blowing is usually best &C
complished by gradually increasing
the depth, although there is no great
damage done on ordinary soils by
| going down deeply at once.
There are certain types Of plows
on the market which have tendency
to thoroughly mix the soil from the
bottom and the top of the furrow
slice. Such plows can be used with
safety to pillow as deep as desired and
do it at once, observing the precau
ton given above, viz, blowing con
siderable period prior to the planting
Of crops.
Flowing Is best done when the sol
contains degree Of moisture which
| is just right to cause it to pulverize
we'll when thrown out by the pillow
If plowed in this condition deeI
blowing works no serious injury OF
the soil; in fact, 1t usually works 6
benefit Deep blowing when the sol
is very dry and lumpy unless fol
lowed by propiuous rains, usually
works injury.

arrangement makes 1t impossible for
any weeds to be missed. or any part
Of the ground to remain unstirred,

DRY FARM LAND THAT BLOWS
Most Difficult Problem Perhaps Best
Solved by Heavy Listing Crosswise
to Prevailing Winds.

Much Of the very best dry farming
land is of such loose nature that 1t
blows badly. Theoretically, clays hold
more moisture than sands and sandy
loan, but the difficulty of maintaining
a soil mulch allows so much escape of
water by evaporation that this charac-
teristic is largely Offset.
How to stop blowing has been the
most difficult problem. and is perhaps
best solved by heaving listing cross
wise to the prevailing winds. Here
again theory and fact conflict, for it is
evident that there is more surface ex.
posed for evaporation on listed than
fat ground and not only that, but the
bottom of the furrow has no soil mulch
until the burrows crumble somewhat
The fact, however. that the burrows
catch the drifting SHOWS must be tax.

there will usually be a greater mois.
ture content in spring in furro x,d

besides which 1t holds the better the
fine soil which drifts away so easily

cultivation and weathering, making a
good soil Of 1t II II can be be retained
