FIVE CAR LOADS OF SEEDS.

Sterling, Colo, Apr. 26- Five car
loads of seed will be distributed
among the dry farmers of Logan
county today. This will do for 16,-

$4,000 raised by popular subscrip-

to put in a crop.
A careful canvass was made and
not single needy farmer has been

applicant will get seed for AZ acres
and agrees to keep the committee
posted on the condition of his crop
throughout the summer. He also
agrees to return the cost of seed af-

SUNDAY SCHOOL
CONTEST NOW ON

Probably the most successful mem
bership contest ever held in local
Sunday school is now receiving the
attention of the church and Bible
school workers of the First Christian
church of this city.
The Sunday school has been divid-
ed into two teams. The Reds under
command of George Burckhalter, are
pitted against Roscoe Giffin, who
leads the Blues. Each commander
has 10 captains and the school is
fairly evenly divided between the
two groups. Fourteen new members
were enrolled last Sunday which
brings the total up to 220. 1t is
the plan of the contestant TO help
in the erection of a new primary
department building on the rear of
the lots within the next few weeks.
Later in the year successful re-
vivalist will be engaged to hold a
series of meetings. after which a
large addition will be erected to the
church, doubling its capacity.

MORE HOSPITALS ARE NEEDED
Situation Improved, but Further Work
lie Needed to Stamp Out
tuberculosis.

Only four states, Mississippi, Ne
vada, Utah and Wyoming, have no
beds whatever in special hospitals or
wards for consumptives. Eight years
ago when the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis was organized there were 20
states in which no hospital or sanito-
rum provision for consumptives exist
ed, and the entire number of beds in
the United States was only 10000
while these figures would indicate
remarkable growth in anti-tubercu-
losis activity" says DR.. Livingston
Farrand, executive secretary of the
National association, in commenting
on the subject, there are still prac-
tically ten INDECENT consumptives for
every one Of the 10000 beds, including
those for pay patients. In other words,
we have from 100000 to 100000 con-
sumptives in this country too poor to
provide hospital care for themselves.
If tuberculosis is ever going to be
stamped out Of the United States,
more hospital provision for these focl
Of infection must be provided"

NEEDED SUPPLY OF MOISTURE
Never Does Season Pass But That
Short Droughty Period Is Expert
enced-VaIue of Stirring.


By C. P. BULL. Minnesota Experiment
Staton)
The season for cultivation Of the
soil, to remedy the mechanical condi-
ton, to control the moisture supply
and to kill weeds, is now on. It would
seem as though little would need to
be said about cultivation for the con-
troll of the moisture supply in the soil.
but there is never O season passes, but
that short >droughty period is expert
enced. Experiments at University
farm show conclusiYely the value Of
stirring the surface soil during dry
times.
Strange as 1t may seem, the stirring
of the soil is also a good thing when
the soil is too moist. In the former
case, cultivation breaks the capilarity
and prevents the escape of the mois-
ture through evaporation. In the latter
case, it opens up the soil that Is
stirred, and permits freer circulation
of the air, and in this way dries out
the surface area, thus controlling, to
certain extent, the moisture supply.
Cultivation for conserving moisture
should be relatively shallow; the
depth being more or less in accord
ance with the severity Of the drought.
A deeper dust blanket" should be
maintained during a severe drought
than during the short and mild
droughty periods. In the "dry-land
farming" sections, that is, in regions
of fifteen inches or less rainfall, dust
mulch of three to four inches is adj
vised Under the average Minnesota
conditions, a one-inch dust mulch
will generally suffice.
During the earlier period of growth,
plants need much better soil-culture
than during the latter periods of
growth, for the roots are not numer-
GUS and do not draw from a very
large area. For this reason, it is very
important that the conditions be as
near perfect as possible, that the
plants may develop normally and rap
idly in their earlier periods Of
growth.
Frequent civilizations, as well as the
proper kind of civilizations are very
important. In droughty periods cul.
tivation of the cornheld or potato
field should be made at least once a
week. The tillage question is not a
difficult one to answer, If due consid.
Grafton is given to the scientific prin-
ciples underlying the conditions,
which make it necessary to do one
thing or the other. A study of the soil
the amount Of moisture, the amount
of rainfall and the kind Of crop, will
generally indicate the method to be
! followed.

WORK or PRAIRIE ANT
interesting Description Of Indus
triouS Insect.
Cannot Tolerate Presence Of Vegeta-
ton Near Their Mounds ard Work
ers Cut It Away by Use Of
Well-Adapted Mandlbles.
By GEORGE A. DEANJ


In crossing the prairies of large
part of the western states, the travel
ers attention is frequently drawn to
the gravel-covered mounds that skirt
the railways and wagon roads. Locat-
ed in the center of cleared circular
areas, they stand out prominently,
breaking the grassy surface. These
mounds dot the slopes Of ravines, the
banks of streams, and hooks and mats
between cliffs and ridges.
They occur along travelled roads and
sidewalks in corrals, and in door
yards. They are present in fields Of
wheat and alfalfa in spite of the plow-
ing and disking. They possessed the
prairie before the farmer came, and
they remain in spite of his operations.
The ant whose industry has made
these mounds, with their clean-swept
dooryards, clings tenaciously to the
house which it has built, and, so often
as the roof is destroyed, laboriously
rebuilds it.
The nests are Of various sizes and
heights, ranging from nine to twenty
four inches. The clearing surrounding
the mound is level, absolutely devoid
of vegetation. and usually has the
mound exactly in the center. The size
of the clearing ranges from nine to
twenty feet and in one instance ex-
tended for forty-fve feet.
The ants cannot tolerate the pres
ence of vegetation near their mounds
and the workers clear 1t away by use
of their well-adapted mandibles. They
doubtless find that vegetation is an
obstacle to their going and coming;
that it affords concealment to their
