Now is the time to make cropping
plans for the coming season. The
farm should be so divided that you
know the approximate number of
acres of each crop that is to be grown.
AS oon as you know the amount of
land that you are going to put in you
can pay attention to the seed that is
going to be used. If it is necessary to
buy seed grain it is best to make the
purchases as near at home as possible.
Experiments have proven that home
grown seed will give about 20 per
cent larger returns than seed that was
shipped in.

THE TIMBER LAKE BASIN.

Inquiry has been made how the
country in and about Timber Lake
has come to be known as the Tim
Der Lake basin" The explanation
is that we are in basin. An ex-
animation of the records show that
the elevation is greater in every di-
rection from us except to the east,
there being gentle decline from
here to the level OF the Missouri
river which at Mobridge is 1859
feet. Timber Lake and Trail City
are about the same elevation, the
former being 2I63 and the latter
2I42.
While there are no exact measur-
ments to show. it is probable that
about this same elevation is main
tanned until the Moreau river is
passed to the south of us, when
there is an abrupt climb of between
400 and 500 feet until the Fox
Ridge plateau is reached, the ele-
walton at Eagle Butte being 24I5,
approximately $50 feet higher than
Timber Lake. To the southwest
Faith has an elevation of $500, di- |
rectly west Is miles Isabel is shown
at 24o2, to the northwest Morris
town is 224o and Lennon 2574.
To the north of us there is d beau
tiful eXpanse OF level country until
the Grand river is crossed, when
there is rise of some 200 feet,
Mcintosh having all elevation of
Ell.
1t will thus be seen that Timber
Lake is in the center of big val
icy, or basin which stretches from
the Moreau river, IS miles to the
south, to the Grand river about the
same distance north. To the west
of lis there is a gradual rise OF
about $50 feet in 20 miles. To
the east stretches the level floor OF
this basin for distance OF another
IS miles when there is a sudden
drop of 500 feet to the Missouri
river.
1t will therefore be readily seen
that Timber Lake basin" is no
misnomer. Get in the habit of
calling it by the name which is

PANAMA CANAL
WILL HAVE. TO
Be WIDENED
From ITO Feet TO 600 Feet In Twenty
Years, Says Philippe Bunau.
Varilla, Once Chief
Engineer

San Francisco. Sept. 23--Witiin 20
years the Panama Canal Will have to
be widened from its present span OF
1910 feet to 600 feet, is the belief OF
Philippe .varilla, chief engineer
of the old De Lesseps canFl company
which started work In Panama for
France 25 years ago, taking 2S,00O,OOO
cubic yards of dirt from the big ditch
before the United States began oper-
ations in the canal zone. The French
engineer who was also former minist.
err from Panama to United States,
is here today, enroute to the canal to
see water flow through the monster
cut on Oct. 10.
The present lock system will soon
be out of date, according to Mr..
Bunau.varilla as the maximum capa.
city of the locks is 50,00O,O00 tons
year. This will be reached, he pre-
diets, in 20 years. In a few years
ships will be constructed that can
not pass through the locks, and the
canal will then be obsolete. The trans
formation, will be into wide
sea level strait connecting the two
oceans. The cost Of such changes Will
be at least slOO,OOO,OOO, but the trans
formation need not interfere with con.
tinuous traffic through the canal.
The opening of the Panama canal,
declares the engineer, will change
center of gravity of America and
bring about redistribution Of popu-
lation.

Training for Prep and College Baseball PLAYED
No. 1---Coach Heisman on Throwing and Buntn
By "Bud'' Eishe,

ford you much consolation, you'll
find. When l caution chaps about
throwing too hard at this time of
the year they often tell me they
never had anything the matter with
their arm in their life-as though
that was any indication that they
were superhuman and would never
have anything the matter with
them if they kept up the pace!
make it a rule to warn them on
this point about a dozen times, and
very emphatically each time, even
before q single ball has been thrown
by any of them-sometimes away
along in December. in fact. I have
found that it pays to head them
off from the foolish SNOWFALL throw
ing business before the snow ever
flies, II you can possibly get to
them.
In spite OF all my pains and eau
ton. though, always find some in
February and March who come
around asking what's good for a
sore arm. They were the ones who
wouldn't believe that an ounce of
prevention was worth ten pounds
of cure. Take it from one who has
been all along there for a quarter of
a century and who caught a per-
manent glass arm himself through
bull Medicines" and DON'T
THROW HARD for weeks after
starting
UNLESS controlled and overruled
by those who know better,
most youngsters will tackle the
batting proposition about the same
way they go at their throwing
They are eager to see how much
farther and harder they can hit the
ball than they did the summer be
fore and they are keen to show
what sluggers they are. 1t is the
impattence OF youth: GLOW and
sure" never seems to enter their
heads.
Now. the very best way to pol
ish up your lamps and get your
eye on a ball again is to start in
with bunting. DO nothing but bunt
and for awhile bunt at everything
high or low. out or in; see if you
can follow the course Of the ball
with eye and bat with hand and
foot. Let your pitcher throw them
easily at first and then a little
harder with each succeeding day.
After you can block them, no mat
ter where he throws them, see if
you can place them. Don't ever let
let them pop up In the air.
That kind of a bunt is not only
fizZle and failure but it's worse
