Had Premonition Of Fall.

Gill had premonition OF an accident
lust before he entered his machine
and started, he called to a friend TO
throw him heavy oil coat which the
man was wearing
I'm likely to bring back some blood
on this" said Gill with laugh as he
slipped it on.
Ten minutes later Gill's mangled
body lay beneath the wreckage of his
machine.
The accident occurred just at dark
ness. at the end Of day OF spectacular
lights. Opinions differ as to whether
the two areoplanes collided. causing
them both to collapse, or whether one
of them fell in trying to get out Of the
way of the one that started to fall
first. Five thousand persons were
viewing the race at the time, but owing
TO the darkness and the fact ihat the
accident happened on tbe outside OF
the field, half a mile distant, few OF
the spectators could tell just how the
accident occurred
Darkness was said 20 be primarily
the cause OF the accident. Paul Peck
on the same field the other day met
his death AT sunset. To- days acci-
dent occurred even later. While there
was light higher up, II was almost darl;
near the ground. Mestach said that
just before the monoplane race was to
start he protested to the officials Of
the Aero Club Of Illinois against racing
in darkness, but the start was called
and he went UP.
Gill lad just participated in a BIZ
plane race with three others. He had
come down, but had reascended, and

EASY ROCKEFELLER MONEY
Laborers Raised Snakes to Get
Bounty Paid on Skins.

John ID. Rockefeller has been buncoed.
When Mr.. Rockefeller got his five
thousand acres of land at Pocantico
Hills, especially the Buttermilk Hill
section, he found that it was infested
by thousands of snakes of every kind,
and he is az afraid Of snake as he is
of a process server. Accordingly, he
had his superintendent post notice
that he would pay % cents for every
snake skin brought in by the work
men.
Great was the death rate OF snakes
on the Rockefeller estate, and some
Italians made money so fast that they
were threatened by Black Hand
agents. Last spring the snakes were
about extinct, so one bright Italian
suggested that they capture some
snakes. even II they had to go to other
places for them, and start hatchery.
This is what they did, but the guilty
laborers were discovered and dis
charged.

THE IDEAL SEED BED FOR THE WHEAT

Moisture is conserved and plant-food
Is made available in this way. The
conservation Of moisture results from
the killing OF the weeds that sap the
ground OF water, and from q looser
condition Of the soil that more readily
absorbs rain. The cultivation Of the
soil after packing rains forms an
earth mulch which prevents the loss
of moisture by evaporation. In the
drier parts of the state perhaps the
greatest benefit resulting from an
early preparation of the soil is the
conservation of moisture. Where
moisture is more plentiful the great
est benefit results from the liberation
of pIant-foody and especially Of the
plant-food nitrogen. Plants use nitro
gen in the form of nitrates. Nitrates
are formed as the result Of bacterial
action. The bacteria that form nj
trates work only in well-aired soils.
Thus the better the soil is aired the
more nitrates are formed. It is evil
dent, therefore, that the greatest de-
velopment Of nitrates takes place in
soils plowed the earliest and given
the most frequent cultivation through
out the summer. Thus the firmest
seed-bed, the most plant-food, the
greatest accumulation of moisture
and usually the largest yield results
from the earliest preparation Of soil.

Experience shows that an ideal seed
bed is a firm, well-compacted soil. To
prepare q firm seed-bed from a soil
that has been previously worked
requires time. It is not accomplished
in a day, a week or a month; 1t is the
result Of many days Of settling, some
good packing rains and frequent
cultivation with the disk, Acme
or spike-tooth harrow. Thus, the time
necessary for the preparation OF the
ideal seed.bed is at hand only when
the preparation of the ground is
started early. The advantages OF a
firm seed-bed that result from early
blowing or listing and frequent sub
seuuent cultivation cannot be over
estimated. A firm sed-bed is abso-
lutely necessary II the subsoil water
is to be utilized by the young wheat
plant. On loose, poorly packed soil
there is such poor connection between
the soil particles that moisture cannot
be raised by capillary attraction from
the subsoil. Under this condition the
soil may be well supplied with subsoil
moisture and the wheat fail to ger
inmate because Of the loose condition
of the soil, which prevents the rise Of
water.
A firm seed-bed is only one Of a
number OF benefits that result from
the early preparation of the soil.
