The Grampus..

The grampus is no relation to the
wampus The grampus is the realest
thing that swims in the J northern
oceans. Sailors and fishermen avoid
the grampus, because sometimes the
monster gets the best of an argu-
ment with men; whales, too, keep out
of its way, for the grampus is one of
the few fish that have teeth, and it's
the only cannibal fish in the northern
seas. The grampus belongs to the
whale family, but when he's hungry
he'll eat a brother whale. with just as
much relish as. he'd eat a seal or a
cutie fish. Even the monster sperm
whale, which is so feet long, is not
safe from the grampus. a herd Of
grampuses join together when attack ,
is to be made on the sperm whale,
and the grampuses are always VIC
tors.
The grampus is about 202 feet
long, with an enormous head, but the
most terrible thing about it is its
teeth.

SOIL MAY BLOW
George Helder at Hays Station
Warns Farmers.
Advises Farmers to Prevent It
and Suggests Methods.

Manhattan. Kan. March 9.-The un-
cropped soil in many parts Of western
Kansas seldom has been in better con-
dttiOn for blowing, according to q re-
port received at the agricultural col
Iege recently from George K. Helder.
ment station. Much damage is likely
to come from wind erosion unless
farmers take precautions at once and
prevent 1t, Mr.. Helder says.
Listers or cultivators should be put
into operation on open fields Mr.. Hell
der advises. Shallow burrows should
be made with the cultivator across the
fan blowing that IL now leveled by the
climatic action. Sorghum stubble may
be blank listed. This may be done
over the entire field or by making
half-dozen burrows every 20 feet. The
listing should be done in that direction
which will put burrows at right an
tiles to the customary course of the
winds. A six-shovel cultivator with ev-
cry other shovel removed makes fur
rows that will check drifting earth for
q while, but the work may have to be
done over again IL the movement of
soil particles fills up the burrows.
1.-THE Fort Hays station has two list
ers and three cultivators in use, hop
ing to protect its large field Of kafir
stubble, fall-plowed land, and fallowed
land prepared for alfalfa seeding.
Mulching Helps Wheat.
Spreading thin mulch Of straw on
your wheat il also beneficial. 1t will
stay in the place spread better than
you suspect, provided the wheat has
some growth so that the plant will help
hold the straw. After spreading the
straw it Is a good plan to use a Camp
bell packer, or other subsurface pack
er, to press the straw into the loose
surface. Do not use a roller on the
field: it would be harmful to further
crush the soil.
I'VE admit this problem is one OF
the most serious the western Kansas
farmer is called upon to meet. 1t can
be solved, in a large measure. by
prompt attention. by rotating the land,
and by not attempting too much soil
mulching. Try to have surface earth
left in condition afforded by small
clods, rather than well pulverized and
level. Fall blowing and fallow land
should be ridged in the late fall with
lister or cultivator. Do not depend
upon trash or weed growth: the de- |
velopment Of this sort of cover costs |
the crop they grow with too severely |
