J. b.. Fort Morgan. sends in the fol.

Il am so situated that I cannot fall
plow. Should disk my wheat and oat
stubble this fall which is to be put
into sugar beets next season."
Answer: II is usually advisable to
disk stubble land in the fall In the
first place, 1t kills the weed growth
which saps the soil OF moisture and
also OF fertility. In addition to killing
the weed growth and retaining moisture
thereby. properly dlsked surface is In
better condition for catching and hold
ing fall rains and winter SHOWS. Except
upon extremely sandy land the soil will
be in much better condition after fall
disking when plowing is to be done in

TOWING RULES
Still TROUBLING
HARBOR BOARD

The clause providing that sailing
Dor shall be lowed by tugs alongside,
instead of ahead is the only part OF
Harbormaster Fosters proposed set Of
regulations that is still opposed by
captains and shipmasters. The latter
are to be given another hearing at
next weeks meeting of the harbor
commission. after which the entire set
of rules as amended, with whatever
change may be made in this particular
clause, will be adopted.
Some difference of opinion on this
towing rule has developed among the
members of the commission. Col. F.
B. McStocker stating yesterday that
he had been informed a sailing vessel
with its tug alongside would be more
subject to danger~than when the tug
is ahead, towing by line.
Harbormaster Foster seeks to elm
mate the custom of making flying
berths," which ne declares extremely
dangerous, both to the vessels making
the attempt, to nearby craft and to the
wharves. A number of shipping men
already have protested that the custom
is as old as the shipping industry and
is still in use in almost every harbor
in the world. ~...s.- 49,

day, Commissioner James Wakefield
