Thick neck onions are usually seen

On small scale, vegetable seeds

One Of the secrets of successful
gardening is the thorough prepare

CROSSING HEADnAN CANYON

good idea Of the formidable nature
Of the enterprise, and the immense
scale on which the work has been car
ried out. It shows how the huge
pipe has been carried down one side
OF the arid Jawbone canyon, across the
bottom of the valley and high up on
the opposite side to the point where 1t
dives below the surface Of the soil,
and is continued underground.
The Jawbone siphon alone is 5000
feet In length-or over one and half
miles measures from seven feet six
inches to ten feet in diameter, and
has a total weight OF $500 tons. The
picture Is taken looking north, from
the south rim of the canyon and 800
feet above the valley floor, and be-
tween the bottom of the canyon and
the point on its side where the pipe
plunges underground the difference in
level is $50 feet At the lowest point
the water pressure is enormous-35 $50
pounds to the square inch, which is
equivalent to twenty-four atmospheres
and to resist this internal pressure
on the pipe the steel here is one and
one-quarter inches in thickness, the
rivets used in fastening the sections
together being seven inches long.

upon as the coolest country on earth,
bar Greenland and the arctic region,

never been heard of. This is Middle

Of islands close to the Japan current.
There the temperature is always mild.
Twenty miles away on the other side
of the islands, 1t is nearly always
freezing-in fact, ia a country Of such
varied climate that almost anything
can be produced. 1t is possible to
grow strawberries, blackberries and
other early summer fruit for the win

which is the valley that distributes

the coast range, the weather. ven

MUCH REslNOUs WOOD WASTE
Annual Loss n Lumber Industry is
Estimated at ssO0,oOo, ooo-All
Can Be Utilized.

The bureau Of chemistry Of the
United States department of agricul-
tural has completed a study of the
possibility of utilizing more thorough
ly the enormous quantities of waste
resinous wood produced in the lum.
Der industry. This annual waste is
estimated at no less than 100000
cords, According to the bureaus in
vestigations, this can be manufac-
tured into paper pulp, turpentine,
resin oils, pine oils, wood alcohol and
other products worth nearly $780,
100000, or as much low grade paper
and the other products as we are now
manufacturing in the United States.
A cord of wood, which costs from
two to four dollars delivered at the
works, will yield products worth
S48.17. The waste consists of wood
left in the forest from numbering,
dead and fallen timber. stumps Of
cutoVer lands and slabs and edgings
from the mills.
At present the waste resinous
woods are used to some extent in
manufacture. Some plants convert
the waste into paper. Others turn
out wood turpentine and pine oils.
In many works rosin oils and rosin
spirits are being made from the resin
of the live trees. But these first two
industries are Just beginning to de-
velop. The investigation Of the bu-
reau shows that the three industries
Of paper making, wood distillation
and rosin oil production can best be
developed in combination. Their de-

prove big factor in the conservation
Of our resources, in addition. BY the |
utilization of our waste and fallen
timber, the injury to the forests by
fire and insects will be materially re-
duced.
Long-leaf yellow pine, Norway pine,
Douglas fir and other woods rich in
resins are suitable for this manufac
lure.

NEW FINE SYSTEM A SUCCESS
InstaIlment Plan Employed In KansaS
City Court Nets in Six Months
S2,122.

Kansas City, Mo.-Six months have
elapsed since Judge Ewing Bland Of
South Side Municipal court an.
nounced an innovation in collecting
fines from offenders on the install
ment plan. Since the system became
operative, 1922 has been paid in in
stallments by 1874 persons who took
advantage of the system. The amount
is the aggregate Of payments Of 80
cents to SO weekly, according to the
earning capacity and expenses Of the
payer.
"The money was paid by persons
who would have been unable to pay
their fines all at once and must have
served sentences in the workhouse,"
said Judge Bland. 1T is money the
city would not have gotten If there
had been no installment fine plan"
But to Judge BANDS way of think
ing, above all, it represents a saving
to those who take advantage Of 1t
of their manhood and womanhood. A
term in workhouse, Judge Bland ar
gued, lowers ones self-respect, and
there is no corresponding gain to So
ciety. Only one out of every twenty
of the men trusted with the credit
system Of paying for an offense has
defaulted. All the defaulters have
been re-arrested and are now at the
workhouse, according to the report
prepared by the clerk Of the court.

GOOD HINTS FOR HOG RAISER
Animals Should Never Be Fed on
Ground or In Pen Where Foul
Matter Abounds.

Comfort is cheaper than corn.
Pigs should never be fed on the
ground in a yard or pen where their
own excrement abounds. Changing
from place to place in the pasture does
very well in the summer, but In the
winter a good feeding floor should be
provided. A
Never compel hogs to sleep in straw
stacks, manure piles or any place
where they will come out steaming
and sneezing in the morning.
Good care means good breeding
good feeding, constant watchfulness
to small details and finally marketing
at the right time to get the most
dollars
We cannot grow pigs profitably
without feed enough to keep them
gaining steadily.

Fighting Perennial Pest.

The dandelion is a perennial pest,
and worse some seasons than others.
There are two methods of getting rid
of it. One Is to take sharp knife
and cut the plants off just below the
crown. The other-and this method
is recommended for larger areas-is
to spray the young and tender plants
with a strong solution Of iron sui
plate or green vitriol. This puts the
plants out of commission. but does
not seriously injure the grass.
