GOOD TREES FOR WiNDBREAK
Everureens Planted on West Side OF
Yard or Buildings Tend to Soften
Rlgors Of Winter.
CBy r. @. wEATHERsToNE)


A double row Of evergreens as
windDreak is of equal value for pro-
lection with a board fence of the same
height. The general method of plant
ing evergreens around feed yards,
houses, gardens and small fruit or
chards is to plant the trees In double
or triple rows SO that there will be
no space between the trees for the
wind to find it's way through
When planted on the west side of
the yards or buildings they soften the
rigors of winter and add many dollars
value to the appearance of the farm
A large number have been unsuc-
cessful in growing these trees. but
with proper care and the right
methods of starting the young trees
1t is quite easy to start an evergreen
tree. The only condition of success
is that their roots must be kept moist
Foreign varieties when imported
are not SO sure to thrive and do as
we'll as the native trees. When trees
of small size are started they should
be set in small beds convenient for
watering in case of drought, and
shaded with brush or cornstalks a
few inches high-above the tops of
the plants-covering the surface with
leaves or straw or old hay-also a
covering over the tops of the young
plants In winter will insure their win
tering in good condition.
When they are firmly established
with new and fbrous roots they are
ready to be set out for good and 1t
will be found best to set in rows about
six feet apart and from three to four
feet in the row and give good care
and cultivation as would be given a
garden for two or three years until
the trees shade the ground
White and Norway spruce are the
most rapid growers and are the most
valuable for planting. White pine
will make a very rapid growth in
some places and the arbor vitae will
make a very good growth.
In all cases cultivate we'll the fore
part of the season and keep down the
weeds and grass. By close planting
an upright growth is procured and as
the trees become too thick they may
be thinned out and the best ones left
until they have obtained their growth

The illustration shows curious
chamber built on the east side of the
porch of Kingsland church, Hereford
shire. England, and known as the
'Volca Chamber" 1t is entered from
the porch, and window, seen above
the stone coffin, looks into the church.
The theory of its use was that on
Good Fridays the interior of the church
was darkened by covering up all the
windows. A torchlight procession was
then formed inside the church and the
host carried out and placed in the
stone coffin In the chamber. There it
remained, guarded night and day, by
two priests, until Easter morning.
when the windows of the church were
uncovered. the procession reformed.
and the host carried back into the
church. There are "Volca" chambers
in other church. but the Kingsland
chamber is unique, owing to its I'M
usual position adjoining the porch.

The steamship moved slowly UP the

was a tremendous rattle and clank

steward.

asked.
"Nothin', lady-only dropped the

Aunt Drusilla disapprovingly. They've

A Faulty Indictment.

A Massachusetts minister was max.

years ago. He had to spend the night
in a small mountain town where feuds
and moonshine still abounded. En-.

natives, he said:

SCHOOL

The last tForty seventy General
Assembly passed a very large num-
Der of important school laws. These
laws in five or six years will make
great improvement in the public
schools OF Missouri. These laws were
aimed mainly to help the rural
schools, which are admitted to be the
most neglected part OF our system.
Some OF the defects in rural schools
cannot be remedied by legislation.
Two hundred and fifty OF the largest
towns and cities in Missouri pay a
tax rate that averages s1.13 on the
500 assessed valuation for school
purposes. while the average rate in
the rural schools is only SO cents on
the 500 valuation. As property is
assessed at a lower per cent OF its
actual value I'm the country than In
Abe cities, the difference lie much
greater than IL appears to be. n the
rate OF AXE were based on the act
ual value OF the property, the city
rate for school purposes would be
fully three times the couptry rate.
That Is, the cities are doing locally
three times as much for the educa.
ton OF their children as the country.
Under the new laws the State itself
would be doing more for the coun-
try schools than for the city schools.

~stitution places the maximum rate OF

Mems Acre Yield confess for 1913.

The Mems Acre Yield Contest or
eanized in January, 1912, proved TO
be one of the most interesting classes
of the 1912 State Corn Show held in
Columbia during Farmers Week.
January 1917, 1913. Practically
every one who visited the show asked
TO see the reports and final scores on

tit from the acre, and yield Of air dry
corn.
The Mems Acre Yield Con-
test will eventually become one OF
the largest classes in the State Corn
Show. for after pure seed corn is dis
seminsted throughout every part OF
the state, the work will naturally
tend towards increasing the yield per
acre by more intensive methods Of
culture. Very few farmers today re-
alize just how hard IL is, 20 produce
loo bushels Of corn on A measured
acre. and fewer still know just how
much per bushel IL costs 10 produce
al average crop OF corn.
The MissouriCo rnGrowers's associa-
ton will award several hundred dol
lars in prizes in the Mems Acre Yield
Contes, alone this coming year and
every Missouri farmer who Is inter-
ested In corn Improvement should
write today for information regarding
this contest. Remember there will
be a sweepstakes prize valued at $50
for the best acre yield.

Girls VIII Make Boys Hustle

In the past the boys enrolled IN the

state Corn Show. But this year they
will have the girls to reckon with for
the contest has been opened TO both
boys and girls between the ages Of 20
and 20 years. II IL Just as easy for
"a girl to get a share OF this prize
money as II Is for the boys. The
girls will not be- required TO do any
OF the actual work but viii be expect
ed to keep all records and pick their
sample OF corn for the State Corn
Show. or course there IL no objec-
ton TO girls doing such parts OF the
work ~ they a do. There must be
nj least two girls In every corn grow
Ing county OF Missouri who are suffi-
ciently interested TO get into this con-
test and make the boys hustle. Be-
sides these prizes the Missouri Wom-

country at 65 cents on the 500 as
sessed valuation, and thus handicaps
these schools in their local support.
One of the most important laws
passed was the Carter-Brydon Law,
which guarantees to every rural
school an S mopths' term OF school,
provided II levies the constitutional
limit for school purposes and sends
its children regularly to school. This
law is' destined TO help several hun
dred schools. IL grants 500 special
aid TO each district. II needed to have
S months OF school. The aid under
this aw can be secured this year II
the application is made on or before
June goth.
The wilson-McRoberts high school
aid law grants from $500 to $500
to weak high schools. This law rea.
cbes the struggling high schools in
the small towns. II will this year
help from 200 to 900 high schools.
The Observation-Disclosures law pro-
vides for teacher training courses in
high schools to prepare teachers for
the rural schools and grants $3.50
state aid to schools that do this work
This law will reach from IS to 100
schools.
Another good law Is the Buford-
Cofley Law on Consolidation and ru-
raj high schools. This law will in a
few years take a high school into
every community In the state. The
State aids in the maintenance of the
country high schools and in the
erection OF the building. Many re-
gard this az the most important
school law passed.
The Crossley-orr free textbook law
empowers each school district TO own
Its textbooks and furnish them free
TO pupils. IL grants to school districts
so'doing their pro rata OF the county
foreign Insurance tax moneys. which
amount TO 80 cents to 90 cents g
pupil enumerated and which will
about maintain a free textbook sys-
tenn after the initial cost has been
met.
Another good law Is the Taylor
law providing for an annual conven-
ton OF the school directors and off
GERS In each county.
The Kinney school age limit law
Is OF great value 20 the large cities
that desire TO establish kindergartens
and evening schools. II does not ar
feet the country districts and the
small towns and does not affect the
enumeration OF school children.
