THE much discussed waste of natural
gas is stated by the United States Geolog
i"al Survey to be rapidly decreasing.
The problem of conserving the natural
gas supply may be considered as having
been satisfactorily solved in Pennsyl-
vania, throughout the Appalachian and
the Lima Indiana fields, aud in Kansas.
The greatest waste is in Oklahoma and in
the Caddo field of Louisiana, owing In
Oklahoma to probable looseness in en-
iorcement OF the laws and IN Louisiana to
lack OF market IL is noteworthy that
one OF the two wild wells in Louisiana
that have been sensational examples of
waste have been successfully closed and
the gas thus conserved for future use.

DESTROYING the CATTLE TICK IN OVER
FLOWED REGIONS

The recent floods I'm the Mississippi
Valley have given the planters an ex-
ceptional opportunity to deal a de-
cisive blow against the tick which
transmits splenetic or Texas fever Of
cattle. When the waters began to rise
the cattle, wherever possible, were
taken to the higher lands, such as
mounds and the levees. In many cases
all of the cattle found In areas of many
square miles were concentrated on the
levees. Consequently, for many weeks
the areas over which the cattle have
roamed have been reduced to but q
very small fraction of the area over
which they would feed naturally.
While the cattle have been greatly
concentrated in this manner the ticks
have been destroyed In the pastures.
It is true that the cattle tick is some
what resistant to water, but the long
duration Of the food and the force Of
the current in the present instance
have undoubtedly practically, If not
completely, exterminated the tick In
all except high localities in many
counties in Arkansas, Louisiana, and
Mississippi. OF course, the cattle that
were concentrated on the levees or
mounds carried many ticks to those
places with them. These ticks have
developed on the cattle and their
progeny have reinfested the cattle.
When these cattle are returned to the
pastures (Which are now free from

ticks), they will carry many ticks with
them and In this manner the pastures
will quickly become reinfested. II
proper steps are taken by owners Of
the cattle this reinfestation can be
prevented to very great extent. The
Bureau of Animal Industry Of the
U. s. Department of Agriculture has
been actively cooperating with the
authorities of the States concerned in
an effort to protect the overlooked
areas from reinfestation, and II stock
owners take advantage Of the present
opportunity, tick eradication in the
localities in question may be assured
at very slight expense. The first thing
to be done Is to destroy the ticks on
the cattle before they return to the
pastures. This can be done by greas-
ing the cattle with crude oil or by the
use of the well-known arsenical dip.
This step alone will prevent the rein
festation Of the pastures. Another
step should be taken to insure the
continued freedom Of the pastures
from ticks. II the cattle now returned
to the pastures are allowed to visit the
places where they have been concen-
trated on the levees or mounds they
will naturally become infested with

eggs deposited by individuals that
were attached when the cattle were
taken to the higher places. 1T is
therefore necessary for some time to

CONSERVING SOIL MOISTURE.

The damages directly attributable to
drouth represent an enormous annual
loss to farmers. If we would devote
more attention to the work Of conserv-
ing soil moisture during the spring
and early summer. the summer
drouths would be far less destructive
70 our growing crops.
There are few seasons when there is
rot sufficient moisture to mature good
crops If proper methods are employed
in handling our soils so that the
moisture will not be lost through
evaporation. during the primary
growth of the crops.
The growth Of crops should not be
retarded at time when it Is within
our power to provide them with
moisture,
The average farmer begins every
spring with an average supply Of
moisture in his soils to supply the
crops through a rainless season. but
on most Of our farms the lack Of
drainage and Indifference to the con-
servation of moisture reduces the yield
Of crops
After the soil moisture has been al
lowed to evaporate we are powerless

that have been robbed. Summer
drouths can be avoided in no other
way than by improving the water
holding capacity Of the soils and shap-
ing the methods of tillage and cultiva-
ton so that we may prevent the loss
of the moisture with which they are
saturated at the beginning Of the
season.
On many soils understandings is
necessary and VIII produce wonderful
changes in the character Of the soil.
It improves its action toward heat,
light, penetration or roots, and the
implements used in preparation and
cultivation and stimulates bacterial
action, which we are just beginning to
appreciate as an important factor in
soil fertility.

prevent the cattle from grazing on the
areas where they have been concen-
trated. Experiments indicate that
seed ticks on the areas where the cat
tie have been will die of starvation
within 120 days after the cattle have
been removed. Consequently. such
areas should be>kept under/fence or
the cattle otherwise prevented from
visiting them for four moHths after
the cattle leave. At the end of this
period the levees will be entirely free
of ticks and the cattle may be allowed
to return to them without danger.
It Is understood that there may be
practical difficulties in applying this
advice in some localities but wherever
1t can be followed 1t will enable the
planters to reduce the infestation by
ticks on their places to a very small
amount. The trouble and expense
necessary Is inconsiderab BILE. On ac-
count Of the great gain to be derived
by taking advantage of the very ex-
ceptional conditions that have pre-
vailed. 1t is urged that planters make
special effort to combat the tick in
the manner described. AS has been
explained, the two steps to be taken
are, first, the destruction Of the ticks
on the cattle when they leave the levees,
and second, the prevention of rein
festation of the cattle and the starva-
ton Of the ticks by fencing the areas
where they have been concentrated.

ECCENTRIC FARM WORK, BUT II

| On a neighboring farm lived an
English gentleman who certainly had
some novel methods Of working.
His farm consisted Of some clay
lands. In the center OF this farm was
a very rich, black Held that had for-
| merly been swamp.
The soil was mainly made up Of de-
cayed vegetation, and when drained
was as loose as an ash heap.
In this field he annually grew po-
tatoes and watermelon. When the
Colorado potato bug came around he
headed them of IN this way:
He planted the potatoes In drills
and leveled the land smooth. Whs1
the potatoes began to como up he ran
along the rows . cultivator and COW
cred all the young shoots under.
In a week or 10 when they made Q
second appearance he did the same
thing, using a larger shovel on the
cultivator. This was done the thru
time using single shovel plow which
left the rows properly hilled UP.
The bugs never got chance q the
potatoes-got disgusted and looked for
other fields to work on.
The covering Of the shoots seemed
to help, for when they were left to
the light and air they grew tremen-
dously thrifty. His potato crop was
always the wonder of the community.
He raised watermelons and lots Of
them. but not for the usual purpose
they are grown.
He pressed the juice from the
melons, boiled it down in copper evap-
orators to a fair syrup, and with this
syrup he used apples for thickening. to
make apple butter, and It was OF
quality hard to beat
He supplied large quantities OF 1t to
the nearby markets and at good
prices The syrup was OF finest quail
