MED that cancer was infectious, and
warned against reliance on radum or

surgery.
Because physicians have been unable
to discover the cause Of cancer" he said,
there is an impression that not a very
great deal is known about the disease.
On the contrary. excepting this mystery
as to its cause. there is no disease Of
which so much is known. One oldtime
error, particularly. which has been de-
stroyed in scientific minds but which still
persists popularity is that this disease is
hereditary. But there is not one fact to
bear out the idea that cancer can be in
herited. Where several persons in the

Where every drop of moisture

days, says Matt w. Anderson, in the
Northwestern Stockman and Farmer.
The prudent man likes to feel that
he has some reserve. 1t is especially
unwise to start the growing OF any
crop on the soils containing a known
deficiency of moisture. It is Import
ant to start not only without a def
cheney, but with some surplus. some
reserve for unseen contingency.
To do this one must first know
just what his soil carries and what
1t is capable of carrying.
One of the best ways to take a
sample is with an ordinary inch aug

stem so sample may be taken to a
depth of 18 inches or two feet. 1t will

from 400 pounds to 1000 pounds OF
