a Ratchet, and when returned he had
dug the dirt out of the edges of the

set to prying up the boards.

TERED here we must do them no sacri-
lege," warned Miss Octavfa.
BY this time we all, think, began to
believe that the flooring might really
have been cut in this corner of the old
room to permit the hiding of some
thing. The old planks chung stub
bornly to their joists, but after I
had loosened one the others came up
quickly, and the smell of dry earth
filed the room. Pepperton had, at Miss
Octavfa's direction, brought chisel
and crowbar from the too1room in the
cellar, and he stood ready with these
when I tore up the last board, disclos-
ing an oblong space about five feet
long and slightly over three feet wide.
We were all excited now. The edge

might be only an empty cask or a box

via, lowering close with candle, en-
eouraged us to go on. Z
We worked on silently, Pepperton
loosening the soil with the bar while
shoveled it out. In half an hour we had
revealed a long, fat wooden surface,
which to our anxious imaginationS was

This is especially true of the eastern
part of Skamania county, where both
the soil and the climatic conditions
are favorable to fruit growing.
''No regular system of crop rotation
is practiced in the area. In some
localities potatoes or small grains are
sometimes followed by some hay or
forage crops, but most frequently the
land is planted to the same crop for
many consecutive years.
"The agricultural methods in
general use throughout the area are
as a rule, poor. Deeper blowing
would be beneficial on almost every
type of soil. On the uplands and
terraces the blowing should be done
in the fall, as this will put the soil in
better condition to take up the mois-
ture during the winter months and
cause it to break up into a loamy,
friable condition when replowed in
the spring. During the growing season
the surface should be given frequent
shallow cultivation in order to pre-
vent the loss of soil moisture by
evaporation.

no attempts are made to keep the soil
in productive state. This can be
yard manure, systematic rotation
of crops, and the growing and turn
ing under of vetch, Canada field peas
or some other leguminous crop.
Lime would also be beneficial on
almost all of the soils, especially those
occupying the rolling uplands.
