ADVANTAGE OF DEEP TILLAGE
prouth Of 1911 Stirred Up Interest
Among Farmers on Problem o:
Moisture Conservation.

The great drouth of 1911 caused a
crop shrinkage of hundreds Of mil
lions Of bushels. But It wrought a
benefit that cannot be calculated. 1t
stirred up an interest in deep filling,
and the conservation of moisture that
will spread until every farmer knows
how to protect his crops against the
dryest season. You hear deep tillage
discussed at the farming congresses,
says the Farm, Stock and Home. You
read about 1t in every leading farm
paper It is the talk at the Institutes
and oranges. 1t will not be many years
nutil we are getting out Of our poor
soil all that 1t is capable Of producing
and that, too, without "soll mining
or "soil robbing
The introduction of deep tlllage
tools is another reason for the wide
spread determination to go deeper
into the soil, at this time. Heretofore
1t has been exceedingly difficult for
the farmer to till as deeply as recon-
mended with the ordinary plows at his
command But such tools have proved
that they not only till soil deeply but
that they make a pulverized seed bed
all In one operation. The seed bed
prepared by such tools is thus an am
pie reservoir to hold the early spring
rains. 1t win absorb three times as
much moisture as a shallow titled
field. The farther down the moisture
goes the less the evaporation. The
farther down the sofS is pulverized the
roots will go. thus getting all the
drink they need even when no rain
falls We have plenty of moisture
now. Heavy rains everywhere. We
will have oceans of water all winter
and next spring. 1t may make thought
less people tired to think about water
now-but the long-headed farmer
knows that he will need water Just as
much next July and August as he did
in 1911-and he will prepare to
save 1t.

Puzzle of LIvind.

Religionists chided about their ina
bility to agree on points of faith might
point out that they differ only in Incl
dentals and not essentials, whereas
the scientists differ on everything.
Take the science of living. A week
ago you would have died if you drank
water with your meals" Now they
say it doesn't do any harm at all. One
variety says: Eat meat, lots of 1t, to
build good, rich blood" Another says
meat is poison; that vegetables are
the only food. A third declares meat
and vegetables both increase debility
and that you will live twice as Iona
on raw fruits and nuts. Some say
Talk with your meals, laugh; 1t
makes the food digest" Others insist
silence is never so golden as at the
table.

WILL TELL OF JURY BRlBlNG
FRANKLIN TO BE STAR WITNESS
AGAINST BARROW.
Confessed Rriber Will be Allowed to
Pay Fine in Return for Assist
anee to state.

Los Angeles, Cal-Dlstrict Attor-
ney Fredericks announces that Bert
H.. Franklin, former Mcnamara detec-
tive, will be the states star witness
against Attorney Darrow, who is
charged with bribery.
Fredericks further stated that
Franklin will take the stand at the
trial of Mr.. Darrow sand tell fully of
his part in the alleged attempt to
bride jurors in the Mcnamara case.
For his complete confession and in
the light of the fact that the George
M. Lockwood bribery charge still
hangs over his head, Franklin will be
permitted to pay a fine of $4,000.
Coupled with the entering of a plea
Of guilty by Franklin was a decisive
victory won by the Darrow defense
when the Chicago attorney appeared
before Judge Hutton in the superior
court to have his case set down for
trial.
Judge Hutton, following a confer
ence with the judges of the district
court of appeals and careful study
of the law governing the taking OF
evidence before a grand jury, reversed
his former decision following that Of
the supreme court, and caused an or
der to be issued directing the dis
trict attorney to furnish the defense
with a complete transcript of the evil
dence.
Judge Hutton declares that the de-
Tense is entitled to a full transcript
of the testimony under his view of
the law, and that If the district at
torney can not furnish the evidence
omitted from the transcript the case
should be again taken before the
grand jury.

PLAN FOR SAVING RAINFALL
Pillow tho Field as Soon as Crop Has
Been Harvested and Follow This
Up With Drag.

Moisture conservation is not sure
cure for crop failure. Every farmer,
though, knows what three or four
inches of additional rain during a dry
season will do, and when 1t is realized
that It is possible and feasible to con-
serve moisture to that extent 1t begins
to look as though the saving of mois-
ture from one year to another would
help some in case of short rainfall.
Three or four inches of rain carried
over from one season to the next
means three or four hundred tons OF
water an acre in the subsoil-water
enough to carry a growing crop
through any ordinary dry weather. 1t
is possible to carry even more than
this from one year to another, says
A. H. Leidigh, assistant professor of
crops at the Kansas agricultural COL
lege. How can the rainfall be saved2
Plow the field as soon as the crop has
been harvested. If 1t is spring or sum-
mer, follow the pillow with a drag.
The rains will soak into the soil in
stead of running off the surface or
evaporatlng. Fall blowing should not
be dragged, as there is danger of the
soil either packing or becoming dry
and blowing. The extra expense of
following such a plan ought not to
cost more than dollar an acre at
most Many places 1t could be done
at a much smaller cost. II. pays big
interest on the investment even at the
higher figure.

GOOD BREEDING BIRDS HIGH
Eggs From Fowls May Be Secured at
Quite Reasonable Figures at
Season When Most Needed.

Good breeding birds in the spring
OF the year are scarce and hard to
get. Such as have been kept through
the winter being held at a high price
and frequently can not be bought at
all. 1t is certain that birds which
have been selected and mated up for
the use of the owner will not be read
lily disposed of at such prices as
would make them profitable invest
ment for the buyer. Though eggs
from these birds may be bought at
quite reasonable figures, and the buy
er will thus be enabled to secure the
best of stock at a season when most
needed and at prices which will per
nit of their profitable use.

Chickens will not scratch when
they are overfed nor when tbere is no

them scratching.
The successful feeding Of poultry
depends largely on the ability OF the
feeder to notice the condition OF the
chickens on feed.
