in a closed room where noxiOus
exhalations are breathed and
fresh air is not admitted, the
man or animal perishes. Common
reasoning should teach us how to /
rectify the condition, but too often
we do not reason; we are content
to blame natures elements or at.
tribute the deficient harvest to
lack Of fertility of the soil.
Too much water in the seed
bed may be the cause. The water
line or sheet water may be so near
the surface that the surface soil
is constantly surcharged with
water; or a hard pan may exist
preventing the percO!atiOu Of
water to the deeper subsOils,
thereby holding it in the seed
bed. In either case the surface
water should be removed:
DRA1NAeE:-Drain tile is a
most effectual remedy. IT., how.
ever, the texture of the soil is of
such a nature that a free subsur-
face flow is permitted, ditching
will serve the purpose as we'll as
tile. The benefits of tile drain"
age are:
Cd The removal of surface
water between the plane
of the tile and the surface
of the ground.
Cd Physical improvements OF
the soil, rendering it pOr-
Gus and mellow.
Cd The admission of atmos-
pheric oxygen and carry
ing off heavy, noxiOus gas
eS.
Cd Rendering the soil several
degrees warmer than ur-
drained soil.
50 Increasing the water alb
sorbing qualities, thereby
storing more water in the
deeper subsoils.
CD Preventing the washing
away of soils and soil fer
tility.
Cd Destroying hard pans.
While drain tiles and bitches
are splendid means of ventilating
the seed bed, we are mindful Of
the fact that all farmers cannot
resort to these expedients.
Except where soil is soggy,
deep blowing and deep tillagC
are nearly as beneficial as drain
age. If the subsoil is loose, rem
dering the sub-fow free, deel
blowing is more desirable thar
tile, especially in sections wher'
the rainfall is abnormally low.
WATER:-It is hardly necessary
to state that plants require water
not in minute, but in very sub
stantial quantities. It requires
about three hundred pOands o
water to make one pound of dr.
material or to mature an average
acre of corn or grain it requires
. from four to six hundred tons o
water. The soil water, holding
in solution plant food, is carried
through the plant, performs it
functions and is evapOratet
through the leaves. Soil moist
ure, together with humus, equal
ICES in a great measure soil tenn
peratures, dissolves chemical Gle
ments and distributes them, and
in a great measure cOutributest'
the life and activity of THE soil.
Water is found in the soil il
three forms, namely
ID HydrOstatic, or grsvita
fional.

Emerson Hull of Columbus is
candidate for the Democratic
nomination for county clerk, and
we think the Democrats could
perhaps do no better than to give
it to him. He is thoroughly con-
versant with the affairs of the of
fee, having been deputy clerk
under Billy Shafer for some time,
and having received his training
under Billy, has of course had in
stilled into him the courteous
manner of Billy. Perhaps this
last statement is unnecessary,
for Mr.. Hull is a perfect gentle
man, and fully competent. He
will make good clerk.

San Benito, Texas.
Gentlemen: We are writing you in re.
SPONGE to your request regarding the ru-
NOR which is now afloat stating that il
the near future Ford Cars are to be sold
for one-thousand dollars.
There is absolutely no truth to this ru-
NOR. AS near as we can figure out. this
was started by our competitors who have
told prospective customers that this re
ductiOn would take place later on. This
matter would cause some people to hold
off placing orders, and this in turn would
give an opening for a competitor to sec
the customers, and possibly secure an or
der, but Our best instructions to you, and
to those who are contemplating buying
Ford cars, is to say hat the FORD Mo
TOR COMPANY, is not for sale, and at
the present time, the factory is ten
thousand cars behind, and if they expect
to get cars within any reasonable length
of time, they had better place orders now
We hope this will convince prospects.
Yours very truly,
FORD MOTOR COMPANY.
f. Backus, Asst. Manager.

Continued from page f

other from the Academy of Music to the
Rink and the Wigwam in automobiles, and
the audiences kept in good humor during
the interval of waiting by lesser luminaries
of local fame. 1t may not make such inn
pressive reading as an account of one mon

three times as many people have heard

every infection of the candidate brought
applause, every pause for breath, cheers.

Thoughts For Arb0r Day.

Four score years ago an inhabitar
of Edgerton performed simple task
Unselfishly he toiled, without thought
OF gain or reward, planting trees along
the streets.
Today, strangers viewing our city
note with admiration and comment
upon the abundant and wonderful trees
that now embower our streets, while
we, in careless Indifference, enjoy their
grateful shade.
In supine content we absorb the
blessings we enjoy needless of the day
when these trees must yield to tempest
and decay, unmindful of the many
years that must elapse before another
infant tree can replace their grateful
shade.
Only the thought of blessing the
lives of others yet to come moved Ran
dolph Brown when his task of love
gave US this bounteous grace of green
and shade.
"Unselfsh in thy bounty. thou hast strewn
Blessings around us, tho partaking not
ThySelf of that abundance which thy hand
alone created.
Shall we thy largesS take with self1h ease
And not in some way seek
TO emulate thy goodness, and bequeath
With succeeding generations gifts
We never can share ourselves"
Let every person in this city give a
tiny rootlet to the soil this spring to
yield its tribute in grateful fruit or
flower or shade.
Preserve and nurture the trees we
now have.
''And when our names from minds of men
Have all been cancelled, and we lie alone
Forsaken and forgotten, dust in dust,
Then other eyes may look upon these trees
Still hale and green, and other hearts
Be moved to speed with JOY
A blessing for the lives Of others yet to come
