Forest Fires Harm Soil Fertility.

A definite relation between the
amount Of humus, or vegetable matter
In the soil, and its crop producing power
a. shown by yields of corn, Is given In
figures just issued by the department Of
agriculture. The department therefore
advocates the use Of various methods to
Introduce the required bumus into the
soil.
Experts of the forest service state that
the soils of the whole country, and par.
ticularly OF the south. have lost and are
losing immense amounts of this source
of soil fertility through forest fires
which apparently do little Immediate
damage but rob the soil of scoumula.
tions Of humus. In many parts of the
south, land is being cleared for farming,
and where such forest land has not been
burned, there is large percentage Of
vegetable matter, which provides con.
siderable fertility, and good texture.
Moreover this soil has Q greater capaci-
ty to absorb and retain moisture, and
thus Is less likely to be washed and gull
lied under heavy rains. For these rea-
sons, leaving out OF account the damage
to standing timber, the departments au-
thorities are agreed that FIRE should be
rigidly kept out Of woodlands.

Paris was given somewhat OF scare
In the lsat inning Of It's game With No
chanio Falls high school played at the
high school grounds Saturday afternoon,
when the visitors, going into the inning
with the score f1ve to one against them,
BY combining their hits with Paris err
rors pushed two runs over the plate
with only one man out. But here Pen
fold braced, threw out Woodsum at first
and caused Russell to hit an easy ground
ball to Patch, which he got to frst
ahead of the runner, the game thereby
going into Paris won column.
There was good crowd on hand to
witness the contest, which while inter.
estipg, Was rather poorly played by both
teams, not Q run being scored during the
game in which errors did not figure.
The Paris team showed little life and
took things rather easily throughout the
contest. The visitors showed little
more life but made their errors just at
the times when they helped Paris most.
The work Of the two pitchers was very
even. Penfold allowed eight bits, struck
out thirteen men and passed only one,
bis control being the best he has shown
this year. Russell allowed seven hits,
struck ont nine and hit one batter. The
work of his catcher handicapped him to
quite an extent, he at one time being
obliged to see . Paris base runner 90
around and score after he had him
struck out, while another Paris run
went 10 on three errors In succession.
The game was very we'll handled by
Francis Shaw o. umpire. His decisions
seemed absolutely correct and not pro.
test was made by either team. The
grounds presented neat appearance.
A new wire backstop has been built, the
base lines we're marked out, and ropes
strung to keep back the spectators, for
whom seats were provided. Some OF
the members of the team and others In
school did the work on the grounds In
| the forenoon.
Next Saturday Paris goes to Mechanic
Falls for return game, which should
prove very interesting, and We look to
see both teams put up . much better
