Great interest is being aroused
among pioneers in all portions of the
state on account of the proposition OF
the Rainmakers to bring the Oldest
living settlers and oldest living native
born man and woman to the pioneers
celebration during the carnival. Each
mail brings to the Rainmakers' head
quarters a number of letters from
widely divergent points, in which the
cid timers tell of themselves and their
experiences.
From Bloomington, Bear Lake
county, Nels c. Nelson, IS years old,
has written to the pioneer committee
entering his name and that of his
wife to those who have contributed
their experience for the Rainmakers.
Mr.. Nelson's letter is as follows:

that time it was part of Idaho. In
1864 to Bear Lake, Idaho and located

teaamster on the plains. In 1855 my
family moved to Bear Lake.

~HE methods Of corn cultivatics
In general use in one section
of the country differ greatly
from those in another section
That certain kinds of cultivatorS or
plows or methods of planting have
been in use In Georgia or Iowa for
many years does not prove that imple
ments or methods found successful in
other states might not be used there to
advantage.
Fall plowing cannot be recommend
ed for all soils and localities. but
should be more generally practiced
than at present. If cover crop or
sod is turned under in the autumn
decomposition will increase the amount
of plant food available for the crop
next summer. This is true to some eX-
tent even though sod Is not turned un
der. inasmuch as the simple loosening
of the soil admits atmospheric oxygen
and increases chemical action upon
vegetable and mineral matter, Fall
and winter plowing is one of the best
methods of combating insect pests
Because the surface of ground p!owed
in the fall is drier at planting time in
the spring than that of ground not so
treated, it does not necessarily follow
that there is less moisture III fall plow
ed ground. The fall plowins has ell
abled the rainfall better to penetrate
the subsoil, thus relieving the surface

fall plowed fields usually contain much
more moisture. but at the same time

cause there were not enough entries

sands of dollars in developing a good

been fixed too much to arouse popul ar
