ExpIalnIna the situation.

Down in the Red river valley sec
ton of Louisiana there is a planter,
veteran of the Civil war, who is
noted for his profane vocabulary.
Not long since he married, and
everything sailed along nicely for a
few days. But the captain was call
ed out early one morning by a negro
tenant, who wanted to see him on
business. AS soon as the captain saw
the negro, he began to curse him.
His young wife, hearing the vio-
lent language, stuck her head out Of
the window and asked: 'Is that you,
dear?"
Before the captain could answer,
the negro said alphabetically, mo.
ma'am; OATS Cap'n Johnson. Judge.

Of War for the Independence Of

Mozans tells of an occasion when 1t
was necessary for Bollvar's army to
cross the Apure, in order to engage
Morillo. But Bolivar had no boats,
and the Apure at this point was wide
and deep.
The Spanish flotilla was guarding
the river at the point opposite to the
patriot forces. Bolivar was in despair

We are having such a carnival of

WATER CONTENTS OF PLANTS
Clay Soils Hold More Moisture Than
Good Loans, but They Give 40
Per Cent. Less.
An acre Of water equals It's tons.

An acre of water equals lis tons.
Beans use $50 tons of water; peas
use 447 tons; corn. 272 tons; clover,
453 tons; oats, $50 tons; millet, 416
tons; buckwheat, 664 tons Millet and
buckwheat are often planted during
summer drouths and succeed, but the
above will show that it is their ability
to go after water that causes them to
grow-not small water consumption,
as in the case with corn, which uses
but 272 tons of water. Clay soils hold
a great deal more water than good

1t will be seen from the above how
much consideration must be given to
other factors than rainfall, and why
some In regions of heavy precipitation
are always bucking drouth on account
of soil and crops, whilst man in a
far more arid region, who has worked
out these questions, is doing fairly
well.
Russian thistle and sweet clover are
two more plants that use a great deal
of water and yet succeed in dry re-
gions, and again we have mia maize
and other sorghums that resist drouth
by remaining dormant, whilst crops
like corn may be blasted beyond re.
call, no matter how much rain falls.
A crop of rye or weeds turned under

porous soil, but such result will not
occur until the crop has rotted. at

SAVE THE RAIN-$1 AN ACRE
PIow After Harvest and Follow With
Drag to Store Water for Use
In Dry Weather.

Some men f1irt with the weather
and then wonder why they aren't
more of a success on the farm. II
they would save the extra rainfall, a
large quantity of water would be
stored in the subsoil for immediate
use in case of dry weather.
Three or four inches of rain car.
ried over from one season to the next
means three or four hundred tons Of
water an acre in the subsoil-water
enough to carry growing crop
through any ordinary weather 1t is
possible to carry even more than
this from one year to another.
How can the rainfall be saved ?
Pillow the field as soon as the crop
has been harvested If it is spring or
summer. follow the pillow with a drag
The rains will soak into the soil IN
stead of running off the surface or
evaporating. Fall blowing should not
be dragged as there is danger of the
soil either packing or becoming dry
and blowing.
The extra expense of following
such a plan ought not to cost more
than a dollar an acre at most. Many
places 1t could be done at a mucn
smaller cost. 1t pays big interest on
the investment, even at the higher
figure. While moisture conservation
doesn't spell sure cure for crop fail
ure, 1t is worth the effort.

SPOKANE FAIR NOTES

To the boy or girl under IA years
of age who is voted the most deserv-
ing exhibition at the fair in Spokane,
October % to 80, which will be the
climax of the Washington Boys and
Girls Agricultural and Industrial con-
test, will be given a thoroughbred
Shetland pony.
The pony will be secured from the
Manning Pony Farm at Everett, and
will be the gift of the Union Stock
Yards company of Portland. A major
ity vote Of the judges in all depart
ments of the children's big state fair
will be required to pick the winning
exhibitor.
Reports received by Mrs. Josephine
Preston, state superintendent of public
instruction, whose department is con-
Quoting the agricultural and industrial
contest, show that many thousands OF
children are taking part in an effort 10
excel in farm, home and shop work.
Several counties already have held
highly successful fairs to determine
which exhibits are to be sent to the
final exhibition in Spokane late this
month. The premium list totals $4,-
1o4.80 in value.
The general representation will be
large from the counties west of the
Cascades as we'll as from the counties
near Spokane. The boys and girls of
the west side appreciate the rule which
limits the number of exhibits from any
county to four in each lot, thus giving
the more remote counties the same ad-
vantages as those near by.
The superintendent of the follow
ing west side counties have promised
to send exhibits to the state display:
Chehalis, Cowlitz, Island, Jefferson,
King, Kitsap, Lewis, Pacific, Pierce,
San Juan. Skagit, Snohomish, and
Whatcom. Thurston will hold its con-
test October Is and forward an ex-
hibit. Clallam may be represented
with Jefferson. Mason and Wahkiakum
have not as yet reported in regard to
an exhibit.

Wellington Slide Lawsuit on Trial

William Topping, age five, is bring
ing suit through his grandfather, W..
V. B. Topping, in Seattle for $40, 900
for the death of the little boys father
at the hands of the Great Northern
railway.
This suit began before Judge
Humphries Monday afternoon. 1t is
the first damage suit growing out of
the fatal accident Of March l, 1910,
when Great Northern passenger train
was swept down the mountainside at
Wellington by snow avalanche. The
case was watched with much interest
by attorneys and the public generally,
because it is believed numerous other
suits will depend on its disposition.
1t is believed the trial will take at
least week, so numerous are the wit
nesses.

Blind Man Most Perfect Physically

The most perfect man physically
who has ever attended the University
of Washington is Joseph S. Woods, a
blind boy, who is taking course in
journalism. This statement is vouched
for by DR.. D. c. Hall, physical director
at the university. Not a mark was
slated against Woods in the exhaustive
hunt for some defect. All muscles on
one side correspond with its mate on
the other. DR.. Hall declares that it is
the most extraordinary case he has
ever seen and states that the blind lad
is the most symmetrically developed oil
any man he has ever examined, and
the number runs into the thousands.
