EFFECTIVE MULCH FOR CORN
Spring-Tooth cultivator Is One of Best
Implements for Work During
the Dry Seasons.

The most effective mulch for corn In
a dry season Is one about three inches
deep, made by a small shoveled, shall
low, running implement that will
leave the ground practically level.
A spring-tooth cultivator with six or
eight shovels on each gang is one OF
the best implements for dry weather,
or one-horse garden plow after the
corn is too large to work with the or.
binary cultivator. If other implements
are used, they should be run shallow,
SO as not to disturb the corn roots at
a time when they are so badly needed.
These small-toothed implements
leave loose, dry layer Of soil ON top
for mulch, which acts Hike a blanket
thrown over the ground and keeps the
water from being lost by evaporation.

TREES FOR DRY LAND FARMS
Land Should Be Given Thorough Cul
tlvation Throughout Growing Sea-
son as for Corn Crop.

(By B. o. LONGYEAR, Colorado Agri-
cultural College.)
The following species Of trees have
been found to be best adapted to our
climatic conditions for unirrigated
land:
Broad leaf species ash
white ash, black locust, honey locust
box elder, Russian olive, American
elm
For evergreens, the native western
red cedar, and the yellow pine. The
latter species should be nursery
grown stock The red cedar, however
can sometimes be obtained from the
foothills.
Land for these trees should be in a
good state of cultivation, If possible
by having produced several preceding
crops. The smaller sizes of nursery
stock three to four feet in height are
better than larger trees. If planted
when the soil is moist, it will be neces
sary to use water. For windbreak
or shelter belt, plant in rows with the
trees eight feet apart in the row and
In rows ten feet apart, allowing the
trees in one row to alternate with
those in the next. Give thorough cul.
tivation throughout the growing sea.

trees from prairie fires and live

WATER CONSUMED BY CROPS
Farmer Must Spare No Pains to Pro
serve Protective Dry Soil Cow
erIng-Drink Bill Is Big.

The drink bill for the crops is i'm
mense. 1t takes 10000 pounds Of wa.
ter to grow a bushel of wheat. No
matter how rich your soil may be you
can grow only as many bushels OF
wheat as will be represented by the
pounds of available water in the soil
divided by 10000 says the Farm Mag.
azine. An inch Of rainfall weighs
$4,000 pounds per acre.
Does that mean that we can grow
bushels per acre for every inch OF
rainfall at the rate of 227, O00x90, 900,
or about two and half bushels? BY
no means. No matter how well we
till the land lot of water will get
away The warm winds of summer
steal 1t by the ton every day. Here's
the lesson as given by the professors
of the Wisconsin Experiment Station.
IF dry farming is to succeed, the
farm must be located In a section
having rainfall of ten inches or
more, and with the least possible wind
movement The soil should not con.
tain layers of gravel or hardpan, but
must be uniform in texture to a depth
of eight feet Throughout the entire
growing season the man who practices
dry farming must spare no pains to
preserve the protective dry soil GOV.

FLAX IS NOT "HARD" ON LAND
idea Gains Acceptance Because of Two
Reasons for Decreased Produc-
tIon-Moist Soil Best.

It has long been thought that the
growing Of fax was hard on the
land" This idea has no foundation in
fact; nor Is there any reason for ad.
herring to 1t. The idea has gained &C.
ceptance because of the two reasons
for decreased production One of these
il f1ax-wilt, a fungous disease, which
kills the young plants and saps the
vigor of the older ones. The other is
the meager root system of the fax,
which demands a goodly amount OF
available plant food For these rea.
sons, flax will do best upon soil in
which there is large percentage of
organic matter; soil well supplied
with moisture and free from f1ax-wilt
disease; and these conditions are
largely under the control of the far.

HEALTHFUL AND UNHEALTHFUI
METHODS PREVENTING THE
SPOILING OF FOODS.

Foods like meat, milk and cooked
fruits containing sugar are changed
very readily by the action of bacteria,
yeasts, or molds into unsavory or
dangerous foods. The problem in
keeping these perishable products re-
solves itself into the exclusion of
these organisms of decay, their re-
straint by chemicals or their destruc-
ton.
Careful Investigations indicate that
perishable foods which have been pro-
duced and kept under the most sani-
tary conditions outlast those that
have been handled and kept under
conditions less favorable. Taints in
milk, meat, or other products, indi-
cate that there are millions of bac-
terra in yeasts or molds at work chang
ing the composition of the food This
action may result in product suit
able for food like normal buttermilk
or in the production of poisons as
sometimes occur in the old milk kept
in closed cans, refrozen ice cream,
and old meats. Many thousands Of
lives are lost in the United States, and
much sickness results, because partly
decomposed foods are eaten. The
greatest mortality results in feeding
infants and young children milk,
which has been secured in unclean
stables, from dirty cows, and kept
for a number of hours without being
cooled.
The majority of bacteria multiply
with great rapidity at or near blood
Temperatures; quite rapidly down to
sixty degrees F.; but are practically
at standstill at freezing point.
Temperatures of sixty degrees or low
er can be secured by the use frun-
ming water and will extend the keep
ing period of milk about twenty-four
hours and butter and meat for longer
periods. The use of ice by which
lower temperatures may be secured
will so check the growth of organisms
that the keeping period will be ex-
tended weeks, and even months,
Another healthful method of ex-
tending the keeping period of foods
is that of heating to high temperat-
ures. The temperatures, which cause
the death of growing bacteria in liq-
uids, range from 145 degrees F. for
twenty minutes to the boiling point
for one minute, but it is often neces-
sary to boil for an hour to kill the
most resistant forms so that the food
will keep for an indefnate length of

SCHOOL OF PRACTICAL AZ
RICULTURE AT UNIVERSITY
Excellent Course Offered Those Who
Are Not Provided For by Either
High Schools or Colleges.

The school of practical agriculture
at the university of Idaho is trying to
reach a class of people not provided
for by either high schools or colleges.
Many boy has dropped out of school
because he saw nothing practical in
the course ahead of him. This is the
boy that we want; this is the boy who
wants what we have. The editor of
the Twice-A-Week Spokesman Review
says in an editorial of July IS:
There are those who believe firm
ly that only half the time should be
give INTO books, the other half should
be given to practical work of some
kin dor other.
"The school of practical agriculture
at Moscow comes pretty near doing
this. During the first term of the first
year Is school hours per week are
given to recitations and lectures,
while A hours are given to laboratory
work, or learning to do by doing.
Then it goes on. II hours book 12
hours work; II hours books, Is
hours work; 1S hours books, IL hours
work; II hours books, IA hours
work; II hours work, and IA hours
books
The school begins its work October
18th and closes March 10. Thus an
industrious young fellow can earn
enough in seven months to carry him
through the five months while he is
at the university. It takes terms
Of five months each to complete the
work.
The subjects taught are: agricul-
tural engineering which includes farm
machinery, farm motors, farm struct-
ures, irrigation and drainage; Agron-
omy, which includes soils, grain judg-
ing field crops, and forage crops; AMI
NAL Husbandry, (breeds of live stock,
stock judging, feeds and feeding, an
imal, breeding, and live stock man
agement) veterinary science (veter-
mary anatomy, veterinary physiology,

nics), bacteriology, dairying, fruit

declared that practically every i'm

ton. He declares that unless the

lures to the scores of petitions that

eral years at the least.
The wholesale use of the referen-
dunn threatens the stability of the

The power of the referendum is one
of the greatest and most valuable
but when abused as II is now it de

The governor urges all citizens to
refuse to sign the petitions unless as

purposes of the referendum.
