DRAG THE GROWING
GRAIN, SAYS
WORST 4.
Time to Save Moisture is
y when There is Mois-
ture to Save.
(By J. H. Worst.)

The time to save moisture is when
there is moisture to save. A little OBJ
%servation will convince the farmer
that moisture is now being lost by
many ton daily, perhaps hourly, from
every acre seeded early, to wheat. The
down-pours of rain upon the fields
since they were seeded, naturally ce-
mented the surface of the soil into
a thin compact crust. AS soon as the
surface dried out to the depth of an
inch, it cracked open at irregular in
tervals, forming millions of apertures
through which the moisture is rapidly
escaping. AS o as the grain is
large enough to escape being covered
up, the fields should be dragged light
lN. This will form a soil mulch by
breaking up the crust and filling the
cracks with loose soil.
Besides destroying many types of
weeds that very soon will develop in
to sapers of moisture and that will
otherwise injure tho growing grain.
the mulch thus formed will also pre-
EEL the escape of vast quantities of
moisture by ordinary evaporation.
Care u be exercised, however, not
to drag the grain when it is too small
nor with a too that agitates the sur
face of the ground too severely. The
common weeder' is. perhaps. the best
tool to use. though a light drag. with
teeth tilted back, will not destroy
much grain. Several civilizations may
be given the grain, at intervals, with
profit.
Don't Let it Escape.
Too many farmers permit moisture
to escape in the early part of the sea-
son when there seems to be a super
abundance. only to suffer a serious loss
Of grain on account Of insufficient
moisture Immediately preceding har-
vest. h time to save moisture, there
fore. is when we have it.. .
1t is now generally conceded that
over the greater part of the state
moisture is the determining factor
that regulates the yield of grain. This
being conceded. then every p%recaution
sufficient quantity of moisture to in
sure the crop against a deficiency at
any period during the growing sea-
son. To neglect this important fac
tor in the production of grain is Who'll
~ unwarranted. Ain element so i'm
portant as water should be ~husbanded,
even though 1t requires considerable
extra labor. for. after all. it is the ex-
ira labor given to the land that marks
the successful farmer.
In short. a system of cultivation for
the express purpose of conserving
moisture should be considered as i'm
portant as that of providing seed gria,
for water is as important as seed.
Moreover, those who rely upon ma
ture to furnish rain water exactly
when 1t is needed will subject them
selves to frequent disappointment.
Nature is kind but expects her chill
dren to do their part.

Father Frustrated.
The Olson home on L'Hiver avenue
is one of deep sorrow today. Arthur
was the pride of his father and was
idolized by both of the parents. That
he should have been driving the
vehicle that passed over his sons
body, is a fact that has caused the IA
ther to believe that he was RESPONSE
bic for the lads death.
There is no consolation adequate to
sooth the thoughts of the father, who
is blaming himself for the tragedy.
His fellow employees of the Dinnie
Bros. company, by whom he has been
employed for the past twenty years.
have extended their deepest sympathy
and tried to make him believe that he
was not responsible. but to no avail.

was a favorite among his playmates
and according to the teachers in the
Winship school was a very bright pu-
pill.
The funeral will be held from the
residence of L'Hiver avenue tomorrow
and the interment will take place in
