r. e. Curtis Arrested on Charge OF
Disposing' Of Diamonds Given
Him to Sell for Another

MONTESANO, Dec 11.-Sheriff
Matthews arrested F. E. Curtis, of
Tacoma, when the train arrived here
from the harbor yesterday, on a
charge of grand larceny, on a war
rant issued in Aberdeen. The war
rant was issued by Judge Phillips on
the complaint of c. Z. Love. also of
Tacoma, who alleged that he gave
Curtis stock of diamonds to sell
for him, and that he was disposing

money instead of accounting to the
owner. He was sentenced to 10 days
in the county Jail today by Judge
Phillips.

spring; but well drained soil, like a
metal, is easily and quickly heated in
the spring, hence is an early soil. The
growth and extension of root systems
as instruments for obtaining nourish-
ment for the later growth of the upper
part of the plant must take place dur
ing a certain definite period previous
to top development This period and
consequent root development Is short
ened by cold, late plant bed in the
spring, but increased by warm. early
soil. hence the removal of water by
drainage, by permitting an early rapid
heating of the SOIL insures vigorous
root system to supply abundant nour-
ishment later for the growth of the
top.
The development of the root sys-
TENS is further helped by the lower
ing of the water table. Roots cannot
grow below the water table. Lower

root development and consequently

TOBACCO IN CROP ROTATION
Recommendation Made as Result Of
Experiments Made at Virginia
Station-Grass Is Best.

The office Of experiment stations.
Department of Agriculture, has re-
ceived copy Of report from the
Virginia station Of experiments made
in cooperation with the department
in connection with tobacco growing.
AS a result of the crop rotation
work the recommendation is made for
the following seven-year rotation: To-
bacco. wheat, grass. corn with GRIM
SON clover as a cover crop. cowpeas
and red clover. The rotation Of crops
in the suncured tobacco district was
found necessary and profitable. In
connection with this rotation work It
was found that seeding grass alone in
August gave better results than seed
ing with small grain.
II was also found that heavy ap-
plications OF fertilizer were more
profitable than light applications. The
use of 1000 pounds Of 3-s-3 fertilizer
per acre gave a profit of s40.2s. while
200 pounds of a home-mixed fer
tilizer gave profit Of s112.17.

FARMERS ARE COOPERATING
Over Three Million Of Tillers OF Soil
Have United In Many Helpful
Associations.

II Is a most gratifying fact, though
not generally known, that during the
past twelve years the cooperative
movement among farmers has grown
so rapidly that there are now $4,000
economic associations with a mem
bership considerably over 100000.
There are but 6.100, 900 farms in cul-
tiyation and in this number more than
one-half are represented in these Co
operative associations. Among the
great number Of cooperative associa-
tions are insurance companies against
fire. injury and death to live stock.
These insurance companies viii not
have over 100000 stockholders.
For the most part they are well
managed and have accumulated sur
plus which is large for safeguarding
of the interest of the stockholders
and for the payments of losses.
The 100000 farmers in the Co
operative associations are bonded In
associations large and small for
economical manufacturing Of butter.
cheese-making. irrigation, the ware
housing Of grain and cotton and the
building Of telephone lines.
Perhaps the greatest benefit comes
from cooperation by selling. Sup
plies are bought wholesale at often
manufacturers prices and selling is
conducted through organizations
whose business methods are yearly
adding millions to the profits Of the
farmers.

PUBLIC DIARIES IN HOLLAND
Cooperative System When Rightly

the cooperative steam creameries
While in Holland. These public dairies
are the only practical solution of the
dairy problem In strictly dairy dis
trict The cooperative system when
rightly managed is the most satisfac-
tory to the farmer; yet a public
creamery, run by private enterprise,
that treats its patrons justly Is in
fnisely more advantageous to the
cow-keeper than his own unaided ef-
forts, writes John Ashton in the
Breeders Gazette. Even Holland
found that out to her own bitter cost
and allowed the Danes to get ahead

change since Holland began to move
With the times and adopted the mu-

and labor, raising the standard Of
quality and maintenance Of uniformity

butter ranks higher than the Dutch
product on the British market.

The deeper the drains are placed the

ability OF the soil to water. The water
table is thus formed into a series of
curves, the end of each at the level OF
the drain and the crest approaching
the surface Of the soil. Therefore, the
deeper the drains the farther apart
may they be placed without danger of
bringing the crest of the water table

but on some soils containing very

lay tile at two and one-half feet, IL
such depth will keep them above this

In some instances the lanS is too

the water table lowers sufficiently
through natural causes. In such
cases depths of two and two and one
half feet are usually sufficient.
