Some farmers are content with one
or two borrowings, or merely enough
to break up the largest Jumps and en-
able the seeds to terminate. But that
is not enough. We harrow to increase
the feeding area of the roots all
through the season by giving them
finely divided soil in which to spread
We harrow to put the soil in the best
possible condition to catch and hold
the rains. We harrow to warm the
soil, to aerate 1t and to promote the
activity Of the germ life that is 80 es-
sential to its fertility. This means
that the ground should be gone over
more than is necessary to merely
break up the Jumps so that the seeds
will terminate. 1t means narrowing

LET SCHOOL CONTRACT AT
THOMAS

Monday afternoon the bids for the
erection of the school building al
Thomas were opened in the pres.
ence of number of contractors and
the work was let to James cameron.
The bids ranged as follows:
Allen and Epson, $99S5. No credit
allowed for old building.
M. H. Shirley, $500. $500 credit
for old building.
E. F. Campbell, $3.50. No credit
for the old building.
James Cameron. $1,000. $65 credit
allowed for old building.
Taylor, King and Spani, $68S0.
Credit for the old building, 5000.
The net difference between the
two bids ranging lowest was $555,
but the trustees gave as their reason
for not giving it to the lowest bid
der, that they could not afford to
do it for that price and do good work
and supply good materials. Mr..
Spani informs us that he offered to
give surety bond in any sum up
to $4,000 to protect them in that
respect but his proposition was not
entertained.

The journey to Fortuna is scant
fifty miles by measure, but within
these eight kilometers there is lapse
of centuries in standards. AS Bud and
De Lancey rode out of battle-scarred
Aqua Negra they travelled good road,
well worn by the Mexican wood-wag-
ons that hauled In mesquit from the
hills. Then, as they left the town and
the wood roads scattered, the highway
changed by degrees to broad trail,
dug deep by the feet of pack-animals
and marked but lightly with wheels. 1t
followed along the railroad, cutting
over hills and down through gulches,
and by evening they were in the heart
of Old Mexico.
Here were men in sandals and wom-
en- barefoot; chickens tied up by the
legs outside of brush jacales; long
nosed hogs, granting fiercely as they
skirmished for food; and half-naked
children, staring like startled rabbits
at the strangers.
The smell of garlic and fresh-roast-
ing coffee was in the air as they drew
into town for the night, and their
room was an adobe chamber with tile
floor and iron bars across the win
dows. Riding south the next Gay they

grasses, and by the fires the women

ALFALFA IN DRY SECTIONS
Seven Clear-Cut Rules Given by Wash
ington Experiment Station for
Success With Crop.

(By GEORGE SEVERANCE, Washing
ton State Experiment Station)
The following clear-cut rules for
success with alfalfa under dry farm
ing conditions comes from the Wash
ington State Experiment station:
l. Seed of the highest quality.
(Seed will be examined without charge
by the Department Of Botany. STATE
college, Pullman.)
2. A frst-class summer fallow, offer
ing good supply of readily available
plant food, stored moisture, freedom
from weeds. A poor summer fallow
is not safe. The young plants need
every advantage.
8. No nurse crop. Where the soil
drifts nurse crop would be neces-
sary, but the success of alfalfa under
such conditions is very doubtful.)
4. Seeding with a drill, as described
in latest -uIletin issued by the state
college.
8. Very thin seeding, preferably In
rows 80 to AZ inches apart for cult
walton.
6. Thorough cultivation every year.
Z. Care not to pasture close at any
time.
We would strongly urge farmers
throughout the semi-arid belt to give
alfalfa a careful trial. AS forage
and soil-imprcving crop for such con-
ditions 1t is OF the highest rank.
Popular bulletins Nos AZ and 40 dis
cuss the principles of dry land farm
ing and Extension Bulletin No 1 dis
cusses the details of growing alfalfa
without irrigation. These may be Sc

themselves that such roots pene-

twelve inches.

farmers who do not believe in the
theories which underlie the storing

POLISHED LOAFERS ARE MORAL
LEPERS AND SOCIETY'S
WORST PARASITES

A polish loafer is a thing which
some people call a man of manners,
always looking for something easy
but not in the shape of work. He
dotes on good, honest working girls,
big feeds and late hours. Squeezes
into society now and them, by a
scratch, but long enough to make
some fool girl think that he is an
ideal man.
A polished loafer is a chronic loaf
err and is not a fit associate for any
honest working or home making
girl.
He is always waiting for his ship
to come in laden with all kinds of
coin; but he lives and thrives on
what he can borrow from his friends,
moch from his family or by marry
ing and deserving the girl who is
infatuated with his perfect manners.
The bigger the loafer the more he
wishes to monopolize the earning
hours of some good honest working
girl who is trying to earn a decent
living, taking up her time after she
is through work and keeping her
from getting her necessary sleep and
rest, feeding her on money which
he never earned and telling her what
an elegant gentleman he is; and the
worst of it is that she will listen to
his palaver and accept his continued
attentions and turn down an indus
trious wage Garner. She does so be-
cause she likes the loafer's kind of
entertainment and perfect manners
and the loafer likes it because he
has no job which he is interested
in holding, except with the girl.
There is no bar as to the age
of the girl who has the desire to be
entertained, in fact, it may be noticed
that the older she gets the more she
is liable to take up with the cronic
loafer and worship his manners,
when she knows within herself that
her loafer sweetheart cannot even
support himself, and never has with
out some assistance as above men,
toned.
Verify, the girl who even tolerates
the company of a loafer or spends
her time-which should be occupied
in self-improvement- what
she calls entertainment from him,
doting on his velvety hands, sooth-
ing words and his "perfectly nice
manners" is just biting off big
chunks of trouble which will sooner
or later lead her to the wash tub,

citation with these moral lepers of

GROW WHEAT ON DRY FARMS
Many OF Roots of Plant Will Descend

1t will be found that in we'll de-

estimate of the combined length of all
