HEDGES KILLED BY FROST.
Effects Of Severe Winter Shown by
Shrub GroWths.

Results of the unusual low tempera-

a height which is controlled only by con-

These lines of living green. which en-
circle the lawns Of residences, are now
lifeless masses of branches and twigs,
still wearing the usual winter garb of
sober russell. The only signs OF life are
at the roots, where some of the shoots
are green.
The conclusion has been reached by the
owners Of hedges that all that has been
left by the frosts of winter are the
roots. The tops will have to be sacri-
feed, and cut down to the ground, and
the process of growth started over again.
For this season, at least, much of the at
traction of lawns which had the back
ground of these beautiful masses Of
green will be lacking.

RECORD PRICES PAID
FOR BUSINESS PROPERTY
Inside Lots at 18th and F
Streets Bring High
Figure.

The recent sale Of the two properties
that extend around the Westory building,
northeast corner Of 14th and streets
northwest has attracted considerable at
tention because Of the prominence Of the
locality In the business section, and also
on account Of the price paid.
The site Of the Westory building, which
is relatively small piece containing
only 2,481 square feet, with frontages
OF $3.50 on F street and $3.50 feet
on 14th street, six years ago brought
100000, or at the rate Of $76.58 a square
foot. For the adjoining property with a
frontage of 27.32 feet on F street and
q feet on 14th street. containing 4.2O4
square feet, 100000 was paid, which is
at the rate OF $47.57 per square foot
Both transactions furnish the record
prices for corner property, as well as for
inside property. It Is stated that Frank
Walter. the purchaser of the inside
property, has not yet nade plans for its
use.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS HOLD|GETTING READY FOR WINTEl
ANIMAL IIINE MEETING WHEAT RY PROF. SHAW

The large amount of moisture in
Northwestern soils brings with it u
temptation that may result in harm :.
Because the land can be piowed east
ly OH account of the more than aver
age amount of moisture in the soil,
the danger is presens that flax sowing
will be too long continued. Unduly
late sowing brings with it two dam
gers. One is that the crop may be
hurt by dry weather that may follow
the sowing. and the other is that the
crop may be hurt by frost before it
natures. 1t is true at the same
time, that good yield is possible
from late sown crop. But since
there is hazard in sowing it, why
should such hazard be incurred? Will
it not be safer course to fallow the
land to prepare it for sowing to winter
wheat, where the conditions favor
that crop, and to make it ready for
spring grain where they do not?
With the supply of moisture that is
now in the ground, it should not be
difficult to hold enough to germinate
fall sown wheat when the time comes
for sowing 1t. The large amount of
moisture that has fallen since last
August in the Northwestern States
is very liable to throw people off
their guard. The dry farming meth
DDS should not be neglected in any
way. Next season may be very diff
erent from this one. Last autumn
rain was so abundant that grain
could be sowed amid the stubbles in
safety. 1t may be very ditfe rent
next autumn.
AS soon as the land is plowed or
for the fallow it should be packed L.
The disc will usually do this work
fairly we'll. If the land has been
plowed out of sod, the discs should
be so set as not to tear up the sod {.
1t may be necessary in some instan-
ces to weigh the disc. The packing
of the land should be done the day
the land is plowed. If this is not
done the soil will lose all or nearly
all it's moisture in few days, down
as far as the plow went. 1t is
greatly important that such mois :
ture should not be lost. The disc or
packer is to be followed by the har-

row, so that fine mulch will be
made on the land. This mulch will
prevent the escape Of moisture. 1t
should be maintained until wheat is
sown in the fall, and until the end of
the open season when wheat is not
soWn.
This mulch must be renewed after
each considerable rain as SOON AS the
land gets dry enough to harrow with
out the earth sticking to the harrow
teeth. The fallow must be kept free
from weeds. 1t should also be re-
membered that the earlier the ground
is plowed, the more moisture it will
store up against the time of need.
The wheat crop Of 1913 will largely
depend on what is done by the farm
ers in areas that are known as dry
between now and the time for sow
ing winter wheat. II a large crop is
to be reaped in 1913. a large amount
of land should be devoted to fallow
There is no good reason why this
should not be done. as there is now
a large amount OF moisture in tn {
soil.

Malta Will Celebrate
The Fourth OF July

Malta has decided to celebrate the
great and glorious Fourth of july
the day, one hundred and thjrty-six
years ago when our forefathers de-
clared their Independence and threw
off the yoke of the British nation.
Malta has held many celebrations
but the monster celebration planned
for this year will. if successfully car
ried out, cause all the others to dis
appear in the background. This
year we have more people and more
money, too, and should have q lar
ger, better, saner celebra tlon than
ever before.
About four hundred dollars has
been raised and the majority of this
money will be used in purses and
prizes, A long and attractive pro.
gram is being arranged. The sport
for the day will include base ball,
horse races, motor cycle races, a
sheep shearing contest, foot races,
egg races, potato races-races for the
boys and girls, for the fat and lean,
races for the men, races for the wo-
men and races for the train.
There will be prizes for those in
the parade-for the old timers, for
the homely people; prizes for the
popular people, for the pretty peo Pile.
the fat people, people coming the
greatest distance, people bringing the
largest families and for the prettiest
babies.
On that day in Malta the eagle will
scream, flags will wave, the band
will play, liquid refreshments will
flow, unique stunts will be "pulled
off" and the settlers, both the dry
]anders and those who have waited
in vain for the ditch will forget their
cares and troubles and have one
happy, glorious time.
A word to the wise is sufficient
if you are patriotic come to Malta
and celebrate.
