Mayor Scott is to be commended for
his efforts to have the city cleaned up
and the trash, old cans, and other I'M
slightly things, hauled TO the dumping
grounds. Street Commissioner Geo.
Dooley also due vote Of thanks for
the clever trick of having this refuse
hauled away. He gave notice last
week, and began Monday systematic
round Of the city with the citys teams,
wagons and drivers, and took up and
carted away all such stuff as had been
placed at the curb or in the alleys as
directed. This should be done once a
month during the summer, Il possible,
as it not only makes the city more
healthful, but is great accommoda-
tion and boon TO the housewives who
have no other means nf disposing OF
these cans. etc. Keep it Up.

IMPROVING STATE HIGHWAYS
mission Suggests That Local Or
ganizatIons Plant Trees.

When the question as to whether the
state roads commission has made or is
expecting to make provision for plant
ing trees and placing watering troughs
along the improved state highways
was put directly up to the chairman
of the commission, the answer was
that nothing had been done by the
commission in the way of such i'm
proven,ents, says the Baltimore Amer
,can. The clause in the state road
law pertaining to the planting of trees
and the placing of watering tanks
along the improved roads authorizes
the commission to make such better
ments, but is not mandatory In this
respect. The chairman of the COM
mission suggests that local organiza-
tons should look after the tree plant
tnc and horse watering.

CONSERVATION OF MOISTURE
Surface Of Soil Must Ee Kept Loose to
Take Care Of Ran as Rapidly
as II Descends.

tBy W. II. STEVENSON. Copyright. leitD
From two hundred and seventy-flve
to six hundred tons of water are re-
CURED to produce one ton of dry mat
ter for most of our common farm
crops. In many portions OF the United
States the rainfall during the craving
months is not sufficient to supply these
large amounts OF water to the crops.
This fact lays stress upon two things
namely. the Importance of large water
supplies in the soil not as stagnant wa
ter, but as capillary water, which is
for the most part available for grow
ing plants, and also the Importance of
the conservation of this soil water.
The first step in conserving soil
moisture is to have and keep the sur
face of the soil In such condition that
most of the rainfall will be received
into 1t and will be carried by gravita
ton to the lower zones, where the wa
ter supply is held until later called
into use. Whenever the surface of the
soil is baked or run together and inn
pervious 1t Is practically certain that a
large portion ST every rain will not get
into the soil. but is lost because of
surface drainage. An effort should be
made to hold the rains of the entire
year, those of the fall and winter and
early spring as well as those Of the
growing season. In order to accom-
plish this the surface of the soil must
be kept loose and open so that as rap
Idly as rain falls ii may be taken into
the upper soil from whence 1t can
work downward to the great store
house beneath.
Fall blowing helps to put the sur
face in condition to take up the
rainfall. The hardened crust is bro
ken, and water enters freely. More
over, the ridges and hollows of the
plowed surface act as basins, which
hold snow and rain until they soak
into the soil. Early spring blowing
and disking also play an important
part in putting the surface soil in con-
dition to retain and take in a maxi
mum amount of water.
The second step in soil moisture con-
servation is to save the water which
has entered the soil. This can best be
done by cultivation. The reason is
this-water is carried from the lower
zones Of the soil by capillarity. 1t rises
In the soil from soil particle to soil
particle, and finally it reaches the sur
face of the soil and is lost by evapora-
| ton unless the upward movement is
| checked by some agency. Now, cult
walton creates this agency-namely, a
soil mulch. The principle of moisture
conservation by mulches is well estab
lished. There is no practical method
for saving soil moisture except by the
use of the mulch

GREEN MANURE is VALUABLE
Crop Giving Luxuriant Growth Of
Leaves and Costing Little to
Grow Is Most Desirable.

(By HENRY FULMER, Idaho Expert
ment Station)
The benefit derived from incorporat-
Ing green crops in soil as manure was
noticed by the Romans.
The value of green manure is two
fold. Green clover, when turned in
the soil, adds nitrogen directly to the
land. Later when the clover is being
decomposed. the carbohydrates which
the decaying plant contains serve as
source of energy for the class of soil
bacteria that are able to gather free
nitrogen, Independent of a host plant
from the air into their cells in a form
that will be later used by growing
plants. Owing to the ease and quick
ness with which these green crops may
be decomposed, the stimulation of he
independent free nitrogen fixing BAG
terra is brought about much sooner
than with dry material that is coarse
and difficult to decompose
If, during a dry spell the green ma
nure is added in very great quantities.
excessive evaporation may result. Ex-
periments have shown that the acid
produced in the soil from this kind of
manuring is not great enough to pre-
vent nitrification.
The farmer must use judgment in
selecting the most economical crop for
this purpose In his particular section.
The one giving luXuriant growth of
leaves and costing hut little IN grow
is desirable A nonleguminous plant
is as valuable in stimulating the free
nitrogen fixing organisms, pound for
pound, as the plants of the legumin-
Gus family. The fact that a plant is
not from the legume family does not
keep it from being of value as manure.
This form of manuring bids fair to re-
ceive a great deal more of attention
in the near future.
