The ants cannot tolerate the pres

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
Station.)
The season for cultivation OF the
soil. to remedy the mechanical condi-
tion. to control the moisture supply
and to kill weeds, Is now on. 1t 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 a season passes. but
that short droughty period is expert
enced. Experiments at University
farm show conclusively 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, 1t 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. 10
a 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 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 ad-
vised. Under the average Minnesota
conditions. 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. 1t 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.

Grafton is given to the scientific prin-
ciples underlying the conditions.
which make 1t necessary to do one
thing or the other. A study Of the soil,
the amount Of moisture. the amount

generally indicate the method to be

Springs In Their Brains.

Two Frenchmen, in visiting an art

by an American. The artist happened
to be In the gallery and In broken

"How did monsieur ever catch such

"O." replied the artist, with a far.

The other Frenchman was greatly
interested and asked his friend what

MACON, GA, Oct. 17.-Macon is just

which began at l O'clock yesterday
morning and terminated this morning
about o'clock. For about 80 hours
three fourths of the houses and bust
ness places of the city were without
water, due to the breaking of the feed
main at the pumping station. This was
the only main connecting the city with
the altering plant, and, as by a recent
order Of the council, nearly all of the
wells were filled up, there was no means
of obtaining water.
The few places that were within &C
cess of the reservoirs We're supplied
and a. number Of persons even filed
barrels OF water at the reservoirs and
went about the city, from door to door,
selling 1t. They asked and obtained
twenty cents a gallon. 1t is estimated
that fully 10000 gallons were sold. 1t
was the first time in the history of the
city that there was such water fam
inc as to oblige people to purchase it,

Ii is expected that the prosecution

derstood that oi.a of the most important
witnesses for Becker will be former Dis

Jerome's part in the plan OF defense
is said to embrace an attack upon the
truth of part of Jack Roses story.
Counsel for Becker evidently believes
that if any part of Roses story can be
proven false the main effect of it upon
the jury would be lost
Beckers counsel are reported to have
pleaded with Becker not TO take the
stand, but the accused police official
insisted and finally overruled his law
yers. Becker holds the principal wit
nesses against him, namely, Rose. Har-

tempt and believes that the Jury would
