Deep blowing.

Some writers on successful methods
of farming for eastern Colorado are
now advocatiog very deep plowing in
order to leave the ground in condition
for storing below the growing crop as
much as possible of the moisture that
falls.
These writers are not advocating any
thing new in the line of successful cul-
tiyaticn Of land in eastern Colorado
The most successful farmers in this
part of the state have been the farm
ers who insisted on deep plowing. not
every year, but often enough to give
the moisture easy access to the soil be-
low the roots OF the growing grain.
At one time in the history Of this
county, subso:ling, which is more than
ordinarily deep plowing. waH advoeat-

Of them experimental some with 1t.
Unfortunately the season was unusual
ly dry and and the crop results were
disappointing and many farmers jump
ed to the conclusion that deep blowing
was not success. But this conclusion
was unwarranted. These experiments
we're made in spring plowinp and for n
spring crop and, being an unusually
dry season, the ground did not become
sufficiently settled to be favorable for
crop growth.
Experiments in deep plowing report

deep plowing. On ground that wal

more than a succession Of laughs, a
chromatic scale of meiriment reaching

II am persuaded, wrote Laurence
Sterne, THAT every time a man smiles
but much more so when he laughs it

Last of all may be cited the verdict
of Oliver Wendell Holmes, given with
his own inimitable humor, The riotous

Since the discovery Of the country. just
four centuries ago. six flags have waved
over its capital. For over two hundred
years Spain and Portugal fought over
the country. which was successfully
occupied and evacuated by their troops.
In ITS the territory was definitely ceded
to spain. In 1907 the British flag waa
raised over Montevideo. but the occu.
patton continued only few months.
and the city then reverted to spain.
The spirit Of revolution was then In the

forces were routed by the Uruguayan
general, Jose Artigas. the great pop
ular hero Of Uruguay.
For a time Uruguay was a part OF
Argentina, then called the United Prov

was disputed by Brazil. and the en-
