hitching were done in there. If it was
a cold morning in early spring, the
horses much preferred to go in there
to drink than at the outdoor tank, and
the same when it was hot. In showery
weather, when working in the field,
the doors were left open at one end or
the other, whichever seemed the most
favorable from the elements; then if
we had to make a home run to beat
the shower, everything was favorable
for it.
The horses that took the pillow out to
the field in the morning brought it
back again at noon. The plow must be
sharpened every noon when in use. 1t
took about Is minutes to take off the
plowshare, hammer it out cold on the
anvil and put it on again. Then after
dinner it seemed to draw 80 per cent
easier when fresh sharpened. While

4 WAS always called crank on the
care Of farm implements. What
they meant was that l took more
time than was profitable to care for the
tools; but to me it was more pleasure
to use a well-cared-for tool than some
weatherbeaten or rusty affair, aside
from the quality of the work done with
it.
The harrow was the only tool that I
unhitched from in the field, it being
too inconvenient to take in. Then the
quality Of the work it would do in
either case could hardly be taken into
consideration; SO that harrow was
cleaned and well painted once in two
years, and it was out in the weather
about six weeks every spring. It cost
$1S and I used it 80 years.
There was watering place in the

the sharp plow would run deeper, ths
dull plow would run shallower. At
night the plow was brought in Them
on the end Of shelf sat tomato csn
with some machine oil and a paint
brush in it, and it was pleasure rather
than task to grease all the bright
parts Of the plow. Then If there was
some damp weather and the plow was
not used for few days, there was no
question but what it would do it's part
satisfactorily when wanted.
The same with the planter; it was
handler to take out some corn ON tho
planter than any other way. And with
the cultivator, the mower, the tedder
or hay rake, the horse or team that
took them to the field brought them
back again before they were unhitched
And even the binder the same; at
morning and noon when the binder was
in use there were Is minutes or moro
spent on the binder with wrench, pliera,
oil hole cleaner, oil can, ETC., and I
thought it was time well spent
When the season 3 use of each tod
was over, it was cleaned, all bright
parts CREASED, then put away in is
place. 1t was arranged to take tooh
apart but little; all heavy parts put
back on ground floor, all lighter parts
put overhead. If any repairs wers
needed on tools when put away, nots
was made of it, and then at some CON
venient time it was attended to. This
to some looked like lots of needless
work, but to me it was pleasure, or
the poetry Of farming. And it was
profitable, for the tools lasted about
twice as long.

WH HILE PRACTICALLY all farmers
" that make any claim to progress
sive agricultural practices are
aware of the Importance of deep stor-
age Of moisture in dry farming, the
importance of deep storage reaches fur
ther than merely affording a larger
supply of moisture for the dry seasons
and naturally implies conditions that
lead to deeper roofing system of the
growing crops.
Thus" says Professor Scudder, the
Oregon Agricultural College agronom-
ist, "the crop roots have a great area
OF soil from which they obtain stored
moisture and plant food. The deeper
stored moisture which cannot reach
the upper layers of soil rapidly enough
through capillary action to supply the
needed sustenance, can be utilized by
the deeply rooted plants as the hot
weather approaches and the grain fill
ing period comes. 1t is this sub-soil
moisture which acts as the dry farm
er's reserve and permits him to pro-
duce a good crop practically without
rain.
"Getting the moisture into the soil
is almost as impor:an: as is its con-
servation after it gets there. 1t is at
least Of first importance, for moisture
cannot be conserved until it is taken
into the soil reservoir.
Inducing Deep Storage.
"To induce deep storage the surface
soil must be maintained in an absorp-
tive, sponge-like condition throughout
the precipitation period as far as pos
sible, as already described, by plow-
ing or disking, increasing the humus
content, ETC., so that precipitation will
strike in and be carried to the subsoil
Immediately, not only by percolation
but by capillary action downward.
"Indeed, one Of the most important
functions of capillary action is to carry
moisture downward into the lower,
drier areas after percolation has ceased.
Here again moist subsoil is of great
est Importance, for far reaching capil-
larry movement downward is hastened
where the soil particles are already
moist, "slicking" the way for more
rapid passage Of further moisture.
Handling Properly.
"Where the surface soil is left hard
and compact over winter and early
spring, not only loss from surface wash
ing occurs, but moisture does not pene-
trate into the subsoil. 1t remains
largely in the surface layers. This re-
suits in shallow roofing Of the crop
plants and consequent larger growth

the plant foods in the surface layers
and, of course, greater suffering in the
dry, hot weather when filling time
comes.
"In properly handled soils in re-

moisture may be carried to depths of

Generals Play
Swarthmore In
The Hill City

Lynchburg Va. Nov. Quite a
bit Of interest is being taken by the
football fans of this city in the Wash
tngton and Lee-Swarthmore football
game which will take place at the
fair grounds Saturday and from pres
ent prospects a large crowd will be on
hand to witness the contest.
The Swarthmore eleven arrived here
tonight and enjoyed good nights
rest before the game, while the Gen.
erals will reach the city some time
Saturday morning. Both teams are
expected to put up strong fight al
though indications are that Washing
ton and Lee has the edge on the Penn
sylvanians.
To date the Generals have not tasted
defeat, while Swarthmore has lost
three of the five games played. the
other two being won by close scores.
True Swarthmqre has played some OF
the strongest teams in the East. but
Washington and Lee has also been
matched against several most formid-
able elevens, notably v. p. /. and
Georgetown, and although their VIC
tories were not by large scores, they
were well earned.
Swarthmore will slightly outweigh
washington and Lee in the line. but
in the hackfield both teams are about
equal. and the Generals appear to
be slightly faster than the Pennsyi-
vania team.

two exceptions. the Techs are all in
fine shape, a hard game Is expected,
for the Marshall College team has
been playing a strong game this year
and has managed to pile up some big
scores. Last year the Techs beat
them 14-0, but the game was a hard
one and the West Virginians fought
gamely at all times. Their offensive
game was particularly interesting. for
they disclosed number OF open for

games which they are particularly

COMMITTEE AGREES
ON 14TH ST. PLAN

Despite strenuous opposition on the
part of Alderman Powers, the Street
Committee of City Council yesterday
adopted a resolution presented by
Alderman Fuller recommending Four
teenth Street as the logical and
proper street to be widened and i'm
proved as an approach to Mayo
Bridge. and as an adjunct in the pro-
position OF relieving the congested
condition of Cary Street ana Four
tenth Street itself.
The committee had held many
meetings for the purpose of hearing
citizens and other interested persons.
Advocates of Fifteenth Street, as we'll
as those who favored Fourteenth
Street as the outlet for the surplus
traffic. and there were those who fav-
ored both streets, spoke.
Propositions had been made the
committee by E. s. Rose and asso-
GATES represented by Senator Conway
Brown representing number OF
property owners on Fifteenth Streex
and Dock Street.
The sense OF the committee was to
first improve Fourteenth Street. and
then, II 1t were deemed necessary. 10
widen Fifteenth Street.
Messrs. Jones. Butler, English, Pull
Ter and Gunst voted for the Four
teenth Street plan, on a motion Of
fered by Alderman Powers that both
streets be improved while Mesrs.
Powers. Pollock, Sullivan and Nielsen
voted for the Powers resolution.
This had been offered as a substi-
tute to resolution presented by Mr..
Fuller. and upon the vote for the
original motion the committee voted
unanimously for the Fourteenth
Street scheme.
The resolution requires the city en-
gineer to look into the matter and
provide plans covering the PROPOSE
ton presented by Mr.. Rose. This is
to be handed the committee at It's
next meeting, at which time the COM
mittee will forward a recommendation
to Council.

ba ckfield against Hampton Sidney and
were crippled before they entered that
game, are ali three out of the game
as a result of injuries sustained in
that conflict. Also, Gale. Addison and
Carr three men whose work has been
of the first order-all the season. are
too hopelessly battered to permit their
getting into the game. II seems prob
able that some Of the third team backs
will be taken on the trip to fill the
shoes of any who may be injured
The line, with the exception of the
ends, will be the same powerful aggre-
cation that RIM. found so difficult TO
gain against. AddingtoD and Roth

ends, Wright and Addison. who are on
the injured list.
Even with such a crippled team. the
locals expect to invade Ashland full of
fight and give the Jackets merry bat
tie from start to finuish. West, Page
