EafIy lip.
A month ago Popovich got a
tip that he was to be robbed. 1t
is said Nick Parelic gave him the
tip and presented him with the
mask which the gang had given
him, Parelic having gotten cold
feet in the deal. Popovich
brought the mask to the police
headquarters here. He keeps a
liquor shop at Ruston and on
payday keeps a pile of money on
hand to cash checks. The report
had it that he had $4,000 and
the robbers wanted 1t.
Nothing happened last month,
however, and Popovich began to
feel safe.
Two weeks ago, however, man
went to Sheriff Jameson and
told him that a move was on foot
to rob Popovich. Jameson rather
looked on the thing as a scheme
to get a laugh on him. Alex
Shortes and George Ashby were
not very busy so he asked them
to look the matter up. They got
nothing conclusive.
Sheriff Gets Busy.
There was no surface indica-
tion that anything was doing, but
the sheriff concluded that he had
better be on the alert, so he sent
the two men up last night on the
last car. They had in the mean
time arranged with Marshal j. s.
Boyd and his assistant, William
Popovich home about midnight.
Popovich, his wife and daugh-
ter went to bed and the lights
were turned out.
The four watchers waited quiet
ly.
At 1880 there was a noise at
the window. The sash was pried
up and two men stepped in.
Shortes was close to them in
the room. Another officer was
in an opposite corner. Two
the hallway. AS the men got in
the lights were flashed on the
prowlers. Shortes whipped his
gun up and ordered hands up.
The reply was volley of bull
lets that went crashing at the
flashlights.
Two Fall.
Four guns began splitting fire
at the intruders instantly and
they fell in a heap.
One had bullet through his
head, the other was punctured
through the heart and had other
holes in him.
The piano and the walls were
riddled with bullets which rained
from the guns.
One bullet from the intruders
went past the officers in the hall
and flattened against the stove
beyond the hall.

bers, who was formerly cook at
Wilkeson, is believed to be pro-

Eon, evidently to avoid finger
prints. Parelic is believed to be
a member of the gang, who was
green at the business and who
wavered between going through
with 1t and turning informer, 1t
being apparent he officiated in
both capacities at different times.

Cutters to Aid
Vessels in Need
fBy United Press Associations)

(By United Press Associations)
Washington, Dec. 2.-Eleven reve-
nue. cutters today began their regular
patrol of the Atlantic coastal waters.
They were sent out to assist ships
that may be injured by the winter
storms or otherwise disabled at sea.
They will continue their crusises up
and down the coast, from Maine to
Florida, until April /. President Will
son recently signed an order provid-
ing for the regular winter patrol sys-
tenn. The ships, named by the presi-
dent, are the Woodbury., Androscog-
gin, Gresham, Acushnet, Mohawk,
Onondago, Apache, Pamlico, Seminole,
Itasca and Yamacrow. Each is of
sturdy build, equipped with powerful
wireless apparatus and engines. Each
is commanded by officers seasoned and
experienced in rescue work and, ac-
cording to past performances, are ex-
pected this year to save scores of lives
and commercial properties valued at
thousands of dollars.
No sea, however rough or ice filled,
has the power to daunt the men who
patrol the coasts. Where other sea-
men make for deep blue water when
the wind comes straight out of the
north-northeast, the men of the cutter
service brave the lee shores to save
lives and property. Their craft, rocked
by the pillows, with a gigantic horse
power, keep to the beaten track. And

Improving Heavy Land

Pacific Rural Press: Sandy soil OF
light soil generally is valued much
higher in California than in most
places, for it is usually both fertile
and quite enduring, and has other
qualities in it's favor. The simon pure
adobe is not highly regarded by most
persons, for although rich in plant
food and very durable the difficulty in
working it except when it is in ex-
actly the right condition is likely to
offset in the minds Of its owners any
other advantages which it may have
There are, however, ways to over
come its refractory disposition which
permit it to retain all it's good quail
ties and make it give up most Of its
bad. We have talked of all these in

The farmer of stiff clay land has
many difficulties of cultivation to con-
tend with which are unknown to the
light land farmer, but he has the COM
pensation that his land is retentive of
any manure he gives it, while it usu
ally has more natural reserves Of
plant food than light soil. What it
needs most is mechanical improve
ment to make it work more easily
There is much in knowing the right
time to cultivate.
Drainage is of course the first es
sential, because clay land is generally
cold and wet, owing to its water hold
ing powers and the impervious nature
of the subsoil. Assuming the land to
have been properly drained, deep STIR
ring of the subsoil plays an important
part in rendering the soil drier and
warmer. This is a different matter
from deep plowing. The land. should
be plowed first and then the steam cul,
tivator put through as deep as possi-
BILE. This will break up the subsoil
without dragging clods of it to the
surface. Never omit the preliminary
blowing. But all this has nothing &C
tually to do with manuring, though
it is closely connected with it.
Clay Burning.-(The following will
be interesting, but Of little or no prac-
tical value here).
Clay soil is plastic and sticky, be.
cause the particles of soil are so ex
tremely fine. There is nothing gritty
in it's composition to keep it from run
ming together in a close mass. If we
could add tons of sharp sand, this
would improve matters, but so much
would be required that it is quite out
of the question on farming scale.
though the gardener finds the plar
useful. There is no better method of
adding gritty matter than by burning
some Of the clay and plowing in the
red ashes. or ballast. A dressing of
about fifteen tons per acre of such
burned clay will work vast improve
ment in clay land. Moreover, it is a
lasting improvement, because the
burnt clay can never again become
sticky, but remains always in the form
of gritty particles in the soil, making
it more porous and much easier to
work. To some extent, moreover, the
dressing acts as fertilizer, the in
soluble potash in the clay being rem
dered soluble and available to the
plants by burning.
The fire should be started where it
is easy to get at a good depth of
subsoil, as on a slope. A good fire is
made with wood and coal, and then
layer of clay put on. Fine coal
(slack) has to be sprinkled in the
clay before adding another layer. The
ballast heap needs daily attention.
adding clay and coal as soon as the
fire shows signs of burning through.
Liming.-A dressing of lime is a
great help toward making clay soil
more workable. The reason is that
it cements the very fine particles in
the clay into larger bodies, which do
not cling together so tenaciously. The
benefit has to be experienced to be
fully believed. At the same time the
lime releases incoluble potash, of which
clay generally has large reserve.
To work this mechanical improve
ment in clay land, fairly heavy
dressing of lime should be given, such
as two tons per acre of the ordinary
quicklime in Jumps. The best way to

tatioh to the public to visit this office

Imperial Valley press., 1913-12-02

apply this is to do it evenly about
the field in small heaps, covered with
few shovelfuls of soil. In few
days the lime will have slaked to a
powder, when it can be spread with
shovels and plowed in This work is
best done in autumn or winter, but
any time while the land is vacant
will do.
Manures Required-Of course,
farmyard or stable manure improves
the condition Of clay land. The or
ganic matter thus supplied helps to
keep the clay particles apart and rem
der the soil more open. At the same
time there is not the same demand for
heavy and continuous dunging as
there is on hungry light land, which
seems to eat up any amount Of this
manure. What dung is put into clay
soil remains there for some time, but
on sandy soil it disappears entirely
after few months.
With regard to chemical fertilizers,
the chief lack Of clay soil is phos-
pilates. There is generally plenty of
potash, which is set free by lime and
by the soda base in nitrate of soda.
Nitrogen is present, but It becomes
available slowly, as is shown by the
slow decomposition Of farmyard ma
Tnure mentioned above. Phosphates
are always wanted. It is on such land
that basic Stag shows its greatest
and most rapid benefits, and this is
usually the best service of phosphates,
particularly on grass land. It should
be tried also for the root crops, and
for autumn sown cereals. For the
spring sown cereals superphosphate is
generally to be preferred.
(Superphosphate is probably to be
more commended than basic Stag in
California, considering price and ef-
feet on plants.)
Bare Fallowing.-It is hardly pos
sible to keep stiff clay land clean
without an occasional bare fallow,
which certainly does much to improve
it's condition. The effect is seen in
improved crops for several years aft
erward. Weeds cannot be dragged
out of clay as out of light soils, so it
is necessary to kill them by baking
them dry in summer fallow. At the
same time this gives good opportun-
ity to stir the subsoil by deep culti-
walton, always remembering to plow
the surface first.

care must be with these germs.
Why? Because they are the workers
who draw nitrogen from the air to
supply ammonia to the vetch, the
oats and the succeeding crops, for
how long a time or how many crops I
am not able to say from experience
as yet. except this year it is highly
noticeable in the corn after vetch and
OATS
Now the reason 1 say shell lime is
because 1t Is free of earthly mat
ter, hence Of all foreign germs. 1t
absolutely Obliterates for years all
acidity in the soil, while other lines
simply absorb it for a time. 1t is
free from magnesia, which is not
good for any leguminous plants.
Another care is the right bacteria
for the right plant. Each crop has a
different germ.
Red clover, crimson clover, man.
moth clover, white clover, yellow Glow
er, Rackhara clover, Field beans,
garden beans, soy beans field peas,
garden peas, sweet peas. hairy vetch,
sand vetch, sain foin. Alsike Glow
eft, alfalfa, horse beans, cow peas,
birds foot, all kind Of Lupins.
Each one Of the above mentioned
needs a separate and distinct germ,
therefore the legume which we are
writing OF must have it's germ; not
even the germ from sand vetch or
spring vetch, will do any good for
winter hairy vetch, and although al
falfa Is clover, it would be useless
to use any other clover germs with it.
Some have argued that as nature
provides germs if you make the soil
rich enough YOU will have a plenty
without inOculation. Do not believe
this. l have tried it, in moderately
new ground. / can show any one,
peas (not inoculated) with germs on
them naturally in an adjoining
ground made very rich. peas same
kind planted same time have not one
nodule, but plain white long
roots and the vines unhealthy and
dying.
In conclusion I will say hope this
will be of benefit to some reader
and enable the farmers of our county
to buy less hay. corn, or nitrate of
soda, but use it from natures ware
house, the atmosphere.
