LEVI STEVENS LEWIS

LEVI STEVENS LEWIS
The editorial shepherd of the Inde-
pendents, has taken the First and Sec
ond degrees in Freemasonry, in the
Masonic Lodge in Waukegan.
Think of ex-Overseers, ex-Elders, ex-
Deacons, ex-Deaconesses, and ex-mem-
bers, being led by an editorial shepherd
who is now under the following penalties:
FIRST DEGREE: Binding myself
under no less penalty than that of hav-
ing my throat cut from ear to ear my
tongue torn out by the roots, and my
body buried in the sands of the sea at
low-water mark, where the tide ebbs
and flows twice in twenty-four hours.
SECOND DEGREE: Binding myself
under no less penalty than that of hav-
ing my left breast torn open, and my
heart and vitals taken from thence and
thrown over my right shoulder and car
ried into the valley of Jehoshaphat, so
as to become prey to the wild beasts
of the field and vultures of the air.
No doubt this editorial shepherd, if he
has not already, will soon proceed to
take the Third Degree and come under
the following penalty:
THIRD DEGREE: Binding myself un-
der no less penalty than that of hav-
ing my body severed in twain, my bow
els taken from thence and burned to
ashes scattered to the four winds of
Heaven; that no more trace or remem-
brance may be had Of SO vile and per-
jured wretch as |, should ever know
ingly violate this my solemn obligation

HE care called for in making q
success Of growing trees in dry
. areas Is in way proportionate
TO the dryness Of the climate. It is
also influenced by the character of the
sol! and subsoil. This paper will deal
with conditions where the land is moi
underlatd with hardpan coming up
near to the surface. Where the rain.
!1ail is short and where hardpan comes
near the surface, it is very difficult to
grow trees in the absence of irrigat.
ing waters. But fortunately these
conditions are not very prevalent in
really dry areas.
On the dry prairies of the West II
1t greatly important that trees shall
ne grown. These treeless areas are
more or less wind swept. In the win.
ter the absence of a protecting grove
IN such areas adds greatly to the dis.
comfort of the inmates of the home
and also to the discomfort of the live
stock. While in areas that are very
dry it is not to be expected that trees
can be grown in large numbers and
with marked success in providing
lumber, they may be made in time
to furnish posts and poles and also
some firewood. The greatest end,
however, by far to be served by them
Is to furnish protection against the
winds. To furnish such protection
should be one of the very first con.
sfderations of those who locate on the
treeless prairie. 1t is in a way in.
comprehensive that so many allow
long years to pass without taking any
steps to protect the home in this way.
Many who plant trees in the dry
country fa'' They fail through the
adoption o wrong methods. The
plan is common to dig a hole in the
prairie sod where a tree is to be
planted. This means that the soil
around that tree cannot be cultivated
unless the cultivation is done by
hand. This is too expensive and it is
liable to be neglected. Trees can be
grown on the prairie and bench lands
where the annual rainfall exceeds
twelve inches, but the work If it is to
succeed must be done in certain way.
When trees are to be planted in
such areas, the ranchman should pre-
pare the land the year before he
plants. He should do so to allow the
moisture to go down into the soil. The
roots of a tree cannot go down into
the soil in advance of moisture. He
should do SO to put the land in shape
for future cultivation on the surface
after the trees have been planted, and
he should do so to make success more
sure after the planting.
! "a strip of land should be broken on

TWO or three sides of the buildings.
The grove should not be placed so
near that SHOWS will pile up against
the buildings or in the yard, should
they drift over the trees. The width
OF the strip should be gagged by the
number of the rows of the trees. but
1t should be wide rather than narrow.
1t should be deeply broken and when
the ground is quite moist. If the sub
soiier can be made to follow the pillow
the conditions will so far be improv.
ed. A dust mulch must then be kept
on the land throughout the season.
The following spring the trees
should be planted, and as soon as the
ground is dry enough to be stirred
without injury to the same. Open up
furrow, plant in the same willow
cuttings about a foot long of the white
or gray variety. Put these in say
three feet apart. Slant them a little
IN one direction along the line of the
furroW. Then fill in the earth around
them and firm it, but leave about
three inches of the cutting above the
surface. The first row should be five
or SIX feet from the outside. of the
broken ground. If a second row is
planted 1t should be twelve to twenty
four feet distant from the first row,
or If some other kind of tree forms
the second row, it should be equally
distant, as snow will pile in there.
The trees should be of some quick
growing kind, as cottonwood or Norway
poplar, and they should be planted
about twelve feet distant in the line
of the row. Between each two of these
should be in the line of the same row,
some slower growing tree as the
green ash. Next row may be about
ten or twelve feet distant, and the
trees in 1t may be the same. Usually
three or four rows will suffice. The
soft, quick growing trees will force
the slower growing to push upward
and in due time the quick growing va
rieties may be cut out. All the trees
should be planted when they are
quite small, and the roots should be
shielded from exposure to the air.
The ground should be cultivated
like corn field for several years. All
weeds and grass must be kept out.
Either will rob the trees of moisture.
If asked how long should the cultiva-
ton be kept up, the answer is until
the trees are large enough to form a
mulch of leaves. The cultivation
should usually be shallow, but if q
crust should form three or four inches
below the surface, it should be bro
ken. The aim should also be to Sc.
cure the trees somewhere near the
same nara1lei

MORE AND BETTER OATS
Crop Depends Upon Water Supply
Breed Up Best Variety in
Each Neiqhborhood,

National Crop Improvement servicel
Success with the oat crop centers
largely about one thing: the water
supply. It takes more water per
pound to produce a crop of oats than
any of our other farm crops. Land
OF high fertility is not so necessary
for every farmer knows that in good
cat year, relatively poor land often
PRODUCES enormous crops Of oats, but
plenty Of moisture is absolutely nee.
essary.
In order to get all of the forces
working together of course only the
best seed should be used-the strong
growing seed which has the power to
make the most out of good or bad
conditions. Oats should be thorough.
ly famed in order to take out the
light, chaffy or untitled grains. Oats
should be tested for termination in
order to be absolutely sure that the
seed is of high vitality. Oats should
be treated with formaldehyde in or
Ger to destroy the smut spores. Smut
or ordinary black-head ruins every
year from one to twenty per cent of
the crop. All of this loss can be
avoided.
1r order to, as nearly as possible,
insure the moisture supply, instead of
the usual slip-shod method of sowing
oats upon the ground with a broad.
cast seeder, then discing or cultivat.
ing them in, the land should be double
d:sced, narrowed and the oats drilled
in.
This thorough cultivation at the
time when the soil is full of water,
breaks the surface and prevents evap.
grafton such that the plants are able
to use a great proportion of the wa.
ter which is stored in the subsoil.
A pure strain of oats is rare in any
community. Farmers clubs should
Unite upon the best kind, and all
grow 1t. Oats will not run out II

COMMUNITY PROBLEMS
How to Conquer One Difficulty After
Another by Getting Together.

National Crop Improvement service.l
Community Seed" is the next step
forward in crop improvement in
Iowa. One of the greatest hindrances
to further crop improvement in this
state and in other states for that mat.
ter is the fact that there is no stan
dard or authorized variety of anycrop
which is accepted and grown gener-
ally by farmers in one locality or
neighborhood. It seems to be a habit
among farmers for each one to grow
a different variety of each of the sew
e-al standard crops. If Jones grows
white corn, his neighbor Smith will
generally grow yellow or some other
