Poet Not Used to Society.

James Hogg. poet, known as the
''Ettrick shepherd" was never quite
happy away from the fields. Sir Wal

he was not social success. "In a

''and with hands fresh from sheep
shearing. he came to dine for the first
time with Scott in Castle street, and.
finding Mrs. Scott lying on the sofa.
Immediately stretched himself at full
length on another sofa; for as he aft
erward explained, I thought l could
not do better than initiate the lady of
the house At dinner, as the wine
passed, he advanced from Mr. Scott
to 'Shirra' (sheriffO, Scott Walter,

Camels Are Not Even In 1t.

Whether sheep are any relation to
camels the bureau Of forestry does not
attempt to determine, but it has dis
covered that sheep can go four and a
half months without water, except for
such moisture as they can get from
the dew and the juices of forage
plants.
The constantly increasing demand
for grazing ground has forced forestry
officers to find places for as much
stock as can safely be admitted to the
forests. Therefore, they have tried,
apparently with success, the grazing
of sheep on ranges entirely destitute
of water. The grazing season lasts
from June Is to October 331, and dur
ing this period of four and a half
months the animals on these ranges
do not get drinking water.
Under such conditions, according to
the forestry bureau, the sheep have
done extremely we'll, and last year s
lambs from the NebO national forest,
Utah, had an average weight at the
close of the season of 6S pounds, which
is declared to be rather above the nor
NAL weight.

GOOD JOKE ON BILL DAHLEN
Umpire Hurst Took Abuse Calmly
When He Knew Player Wanted to
Be Put Out of Game.

Bill Dahlen, manager of the Dodgers,
recalls the time Tim Hurst would not
put him out of the game, regardless of
what he said or threatened TO say.
Before the game Bill confided to
Hurst that he was desirous Of being
elected from the game so that he
might go down to the Brighton Beach
race track and place bet on good
thing
"Tll call you a few mild names
you'll know | won't mean them-and
you can put me out of the game,'
Bill told Tim.
Dahlen started applying the appella-
tions early. Hurst turned deaf ear
to them in the first inning. In the
second he was just as immune from
Dahlens calling down. Dahlen was
becoming angry, and started to call
Hurst harsh names. Finally Dahlen
blurted out a phrase to Hurst that
would have cost him a heavy fine
under ordinary circumstances. The
PLAYERS who were within hearing we're
astounded when Hurst would not cali
Dahlen.
Get back there and play roared
Hurst to Dahlen Il wouldn't put you
out of the game if you called me an

Detective w. j. Burns was blessed
by the pope the other day. Half a

him on the Mauretania.

him, pleadingly and working their
eyes, please make us speech in the
cabin this evening. Tell us about the
wonderful detectaphone."
SO Burns did. All the cabin pas
sengers were there. He explained to
them that the detectaphOne could be
hidden almost anywhere
''In order to make my little talk a
convincing one" said he, Il had de-
tectaphones hidden in every cabin
before l came on board the boat.

to their feet.
Then they remembered themselves,
and pretended they were just fixing
their skirts and sat down again, and
from time to time pinched their
cheeks to restore their color Then
Burns said it was all a joke. The
various ladies laughed hollowly, like
the breaking of plates. When Burns
concluded they came to him, one at a
time, and eyed him sadly, and stood
in pensive poses.
Did you really?" they asked him.
He assured them that he had mere
ly been spoofing. They all said they
were so glad to hear that. They said
he didn't seem at all that sort of a
man. Then they said:
Dear Mr.. Burns"
Mr. Burns inclined an ear.
What did that hussy in yellow
talk about last night?"

IMPORTANT CORN CROP
Elimination of Weeds Is AbS0-
IuteIy Necessary.
Soil-MuIch Theory Of Tillage Has
Been Fundamental One in Ameri-
can Aercuture-SoI Mois-
ture Is Conserved.
(By II. G. CATES.)

Corn Is one of the most important
crops in the United States. Cultiva-
ton is one of the most expensive Op-
erations in the production of corn. 1t
is also the operation which of all
phases of corn growing, has probably
received the least study or about
which we have the least fundamental
knowledge.
The soil-mulch theory of tillage has
been a fundamental one in American
agriculture 1t was long ago found
that by means of mulch, crops could
be grown in alternate years on land
receiving such scant rainfall as to
make it impossible to grow any salts
factory crop by other methods. In
studying the effect of the mulch it
has come to be generally recognized
that in most soils moisture can be
saved by maintaining the top portion
of the soil in a finely divided condi-
ton. 1t has also been found that fire.
quent stirring Of the soil promotes
rapid nitrification 1t would seem to
follow, naturally, that a system of
cultivation which promotes nitrifica-
ton and conserves moisture would
be an extremely valuable system to
apply to a titled crop. In practice it
has been found that in most cases fire.
quent shallow cultivation gives better
yields than other methods of corn
tiilage. Upon this experience tillage
philosophy has been developed and
tillage practice based.
To ascertain the ideal method of
cultivation for corn in various sec
tons of the country, experiments ag-
gregating 125 and scattered over 2S
states. were conducted. These eX-
periments were simply removing the
weeds without stirring the soil or pro-
ducing mulch, as against corn cult
vation. The measure of the relative
merits of the two systems was, not
in the preservation Of soil moisture
or the effect on nitrification, or the
making available of plant nutrients,
but the relative yields of corn pro-
duced.
These tests seem to indicate that it
is the weed factor which makes the
cultivation of corn necessary, or,

Cultivated and uncultiVated fodder and
ears of corn--an experiment in
Kentucky last year. The cultivated
may be seen at the right and the
nncutvated at the left of the illus
tration.
that cultivation is not beneficial to
the corn plant, except insofar as re-
moving the weeds are concerned
The reasons why uncultivated land
kept free from weeds should yield
practically as much corn per acre as
that given the most approved modern
cultivation are not clear The results,
however, point strongly to the con-
clusion that the principal object of
cultivation is the destruction of weeds.
Where the weeds are kept down by
some other method cultivation seems
to be of no particular advantage. This
is contrary to the accepted teaching
on this point, and the conclusion is
stated only tentatively.
If it be true that weeds make the
cultivation of corn necessary the
problem Immediately presents itself
as to what farm management methods
can be pursued to eliminate or reduce
to minimum the weed pests of the
farm. Our present implements for
cultivation are designed primarily to
produce a mulch and stir the ground.
Weed killing is a secondary function.
1t is possible that newly designed i'm
plements made with special reference
to weed control, could accomplish
this end with greatly decreased
cost.
In summing up the results of the
experiments of the 125 corn growers,
it is shown that the weeded plats pro-
duced 95.1 per cent as much fodder
and 99.10S per cent as much grain as
the cultivated ones. If there was any
difference between either set of plats
in regard to thoroughness in keeping
down the weeds it was in favor of the
cultivated plats. Although it remains
to be demonstrated how far this nrin-
ciple may be applied in any particular
section, as a general average for all
the regions in which this work was
done it may be concluded that the
proposition just stated is substantial
ly true. If this be accepted, weed
control becomes the principal object
of corn cultivation.
