The Point of View

That ones point of view
makes considerable difference
is demonstrated in baseball as
in any other feature of life. The
closely matched teams of Miller
and Harold have played four
games. Miller luckily won 3,
Harold one. The Harold
Journal says the game won by
Harold was a heroic struggle
for blood while the games won
by miller were "just a case of
bum umpiring."
That surely covers the case
neatly, tersely, loyally-and
ought to satisfy the home fans.
There are great possibilities for
points of view in base ball
and humor. f.

Tablet Confirms Bible Story

Confirmation of the Biblical
story of Noah and the flood was
made historically recently by
the discovery and translation
of a Babylonian tablet, under
the direction of the University
of Pennsylvania. The tablet,
which is considered the most
ancient historical writing in
existence, was dug up a few
years ago in Babylon, and the
university experts have just
completed the translation. II
is in hieroglyphics, the Ian
guage of the ancients, and is
thought to be about A, 400 years
old. A detailed description OF
the food and the ship in which
one family was saved is given,
differing only in minor details
the story of Noah in the
Bible.

CRANE ADVISES FARMERS
Guard Against a Possible Dry Season
By Narrowing Your Grain
By Prof. F. z. Crane.

Now that the seeding is practically
done. the farmers in many sections
will await develements for the har-
vest season.
At the present time, much of the
grain region Throughout the northwest
needs rain. There was considerable
moisture in the soil at seeding time.
but continued dry weather will soon
exhast the surface moisture, and UNI
less the ground is stirred up for cul-
tivated crop, there is great danger
that we will have reduced yields ut
harvest time.
lfevery farmer having spike-tooth
harrow would use it on his grain
fields with the teeth turned back,
and harrow his grain when it is about
one inch above the ground. he will
help to hold the moisture in the soil,
and he will also kill many of the
weeds already started. This harrow
ing with the teeth turned back will
not hurt the grain; in fact. it will do
be carefully carried Oh until the grain
has grown to be three inches in
height. This narrowing Of grain at
ter seeding, and as it is coming
through the soil, should come to be Il
common practice and it is urgently
recommended. DO not. however. use
a spike-tooth harrow unless the teeth
can be slanted back.
This narrowing, as recOmmed above
is very necessary should our growing
season happen to be dry one. If
there is plenty of moisture during the
entire growing season it will also be
helpful, aud the beneficial results will
soon be noticeable in either IA dry or
wet season. DO not wait but do this
narrowing of the grain now.

KILL RUSSIAN THlSTLEs.

Prevent Russian thistles from ma.
turing by cultivation or narrowing.
The plants are easily destroyed while
small. but If they mature, they should
be gathered and burned before they
break loose and blow away, scatter
ing seeds as they 60. Good blowing
and careful seeding or planting SO as
to occupy the land fully will! prevent
the growth of the Russian thistle in
most seasons. Plants growing on
waste places should be destroyed or
burned at maturity to prevent seeds
blowing over the fields.
