Seven young people from Racine and
Kenosha had very narrow escape
from death at six O'Clock Sunday
evening when the big six cylinder
Jefery automobile belonging to Frank
Il. Wells turned turtle on the Burling-
ton road mile and half northwest
of the city. The car rolled into the
ditch at the side Of the road and most
OF the people in it managed to escape
without even bruises. Walter Wells,
who was driving the car and Miss
Ethel Weinsdorf of Racine, were so
seriously injured that they were taken
to the Kenosha hospital Miss Veins
d0rf had suffered severe bruises and
strains, but she was able to leave the
hospital this afternoon and return to
her home in Racine. Walter Wells
was caught under the wreckage Of the
steering wheel just long enough for
one Of the broken portions of the
wheel to penetrate his back, causing
d bad wound. He remained at the hos
pital until noon today when he return
ed to his father IS home. His injuries
are very painful, but it is not thought
that they are in any way dangerous.
The members of the party included
Walter, Francis and Joseph Wells and
Edward Cone, of Kenosha, and the
Misses Anna Messenger, Anna Jack
son and Ethel Weinsdorf Of Racine.
The three young ladies had come to
Kenosha for dinner party on Sunday
evening and Walter Wells had con-
sented to drive the car to take the
members Of the party for a little
automobile drive before dinner. He
drove to the end Of the concrete road
on the Burlington road and was re-
turning to the city at the time the ac-
cident occurred. Coming from the
east was an unknown man driving
the road and refused to pay any at
tention to the approach Of the Wells
car. Wells pulled HIS car down into
low speed and was running less than
eight miles an hoiur when the smaller
car came from the opposite direction.
Wells thought that there would be a
collision and he sought to pull his big
car off on the shoulder of the road
The rear wheel of the car caught ON
the edge of the concrete and it top
pied over. The smaller car dashed
past and even though the man must
have seen the accident he did not
return.
The danger Of serious injuries to
members Of the Wells party was great
~ reduced by the fact that the car
was running at a very low rate of
speed. As the big car was turned over
all of the members Of the party with
the exception of Walter Wells, were
thrown out and in some miraculous
manner none of them were thrown I'M
der the falling machine AS the ma
chine turned over the steering wheel
was broken into hundred pieces and
this fact made it possible for Walter
Wells to roll out of the car and in
this way he escaped being buried I'M
der the car. The automobile turned
over several times before it buried it
self in the mud at the bottom of the
ditch. As soon as possible other auto
mobiles were secured and the mem
bers of the party brought to Kenosha.
1t was at first thought that both

PREPARATIONS FOR HAY CROP
To Get Best Quality Of Alfalfa It Must
Be Got Into Now or Stack I'm.

Don't overlook the fact that in order
to get the best quality and most mar
ketable alfalfa hay it must be got
into the NOW or stack as quickly as
possible after it is cut
Give all the machinery in connection
with the putting up of this crop a
thorough overlapping Look over the
moving machine; see that everything
is ready. See that all the sections are
securely riveted on the sickle. Have
all the sickles sharpened before you
start to work. II the plates on the
guards are smooth it will pay to take
them off and grind them; a good edge
on the guard plates is very essential.
The stacker rope should be given
careful attention. A considerable

A war writer says the German
peasants in some of the hill coun.
tries eat SuDhower seeds. The peas.
ants dry the seeds and chew them as
means for reflection and for diver.
sion, much as gum is chewed in
America. When the peasant strikes
up an acquaintance with stranger,
he offers him by way of breaking the
ice, handful of seeds. as the people
Of the West offer a drink or a cigar.
Places of public use are often crisp
undeTfoot with the husks of the
seeds. which are consumed in great
quantities. and particularly is this
true Of the railroad stations. With
the English sparrows as active COM
petltors, it is not strange that the
Germans so intensely dislike every
thing English.

The marked effect that wood ashes

exact results, but it is a plain case
that the So per ton which would have

been clear loss so far as results on
the wheat crop were concerned.
Both kinds Of fertilizer were used,
so that both plats extended over a
dark loamy soil, with some sand at
one end and a rather stiff yellowish
clay at the other end.
1t is usually considered that a loamy,
sandy soil is not as well supplied with
potash as clay soil, yet the potash
did not show any Improvement over
the other fertilizer in the loamy soil.

ENEMY OF APPLE TREE
Woody Aphid One Of Most Seri-
Gus Of Insect Pests.
New Significance Put Upon Economic
Status Of Elm Curl by EntomoIo-
aIsts Of Maine Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station.

The discovery that the woolly aphit
migrates from elm leaf to apple is {
most important one.
For more than 100 years the woolly
| aphid has had worldwide recognition
as one of the most serious insect enc.
mics OF young apple trees. Statistics
based on observations made at three
nurseries containing respectively about
10000, $4,000, and 100000 trees,
showed that from 20 per cent to 20
per cent of the trees were infested by
the wholly aphid. AS from twenty to
forty million Of Amerioan-grown apple
seedlings are used in this country ev-.
cry year, the significance of so high
a percentage OF infestation is at once
apparent.
1t is. therefore, With no slight inter.
est that the entomologists of the Maine
agricultural experiment station have
been seeking to ascertain a previously
unknown point in the life cycle of this
pest and have made the discovery
that this cycle includes three genera
tons which are passed in what is
known as the "elm-leaf curl" The
disfigured and curled leaves>of the elm
in the spring are everywhere as fam
liar as the woolly masses on the apple
bark, but the elm generations have
not previously been known to have
any connection with the apple pest,
and it has all along borne a distinct
name

PREVENT WASHING OF SOILS
Frequent Crops Of Glover or Grass
Which 10 Plowed Under, Making
Soils Spongy, Is Best.
CBy f.. H. FRANKLIN)

One Of the gravest problems OF the
farmers of today who are living on
billy lands is how TO prevent soil ero
sion. Much of the washing of farm
lands can be prevented by blowing
deep. so as TO make a subterranean
reservoir for the storage of precipita
ton. The water penetrates readily
through the loose soil, and its move
ment through the underlying soil is
very much slower than over the sur,
face.
Frequent crops of clover or grass
which are plowed under make the sur.
face soil spongy with humus aud re-
tard the washing OF the soil. All hilly
lands liable to wash should have a
cover crop during the winter, A war

There is an impression among the
farmers generally that fertilizer
should be especially rich in potash.
One cause OF this is no doubt from
the marked effects that wood ashes
have on most soils.
A liberal application OF wood ashes
shows an Improvement in crop produc-
ton on almost any soil. This is usually
attributed to the potash contained in
the ashes.
An analysis OF the ashes usually
shows from four to FIVE times as much
lime as potash in the ashes,

The Text Book Business

Greatly exaggerated ideas prevail
concerning the total number of text
books sold in the United States each
year and the annual profits resulting
from such sales. Confidential data oh
tanned by the United States bureau of
education from AZ text book publish
ers In the United States show that
their aggregate total sales OF text
books for use in public and private
schools In 1913 amounted to s17.274.-
030. The aggregate for public schools.
elementary and high, amounted to
$14 1851, 76S.
The total enrolment in public. ele-
mentary and high schools for the year
was approximately 1S,6O9,O4O. Exclud-
ing the elementary school enrolment
or California. since California prints
its own elementary books, the number
becomes $12.213,7S6. For each child
enrolled in the public schools in the
United States, therefore, the total an
nual sale of text books is 1873 cents
The total expenditure per child for all
school purposes is approximately
S3S.31. The cost of text books is thus
approximately per cent of the total
cost OF maintenance, support and
equipment The cost per child on the
school population basis (5-18 years of
age) is 56.6 cents the annual per CAPT
Ia cost OF text books on the total pop
ulation basis is less than Is cents.
These figures indicate that there is
little ground for the fear sometimes
expressed that the introduction of free
text books will add greatly to the cost
OF the public school systems and will
greatly increase the rate OF taxation
Tor school purposes. AS matter of
fact the cost for text books is a rela-
lively small item in the total expendi-
ture for school purposes.
Bureau OF education officials feel
convinced that the figures obtained af-
FORD a trustworthy statement of the
real facts about the size of the school
book business. The AZ firms from
which data were obtained handle prob
ably 80 per cent Of the total text book
sales In this country. Besides Cali
iornia' Kansas also now prints its own
text books, but the plan was not I'm

COUNTY FARM NOTES.
by John Y. Mcdonald.
Cover Crops for Preston County

Within month Il will be time TO
SOW cover crops I'm this county. II
you expect to SOW one decide now and
order your seed. The county agent
will be glad to order incubation for
those requesting IL. Crimson clover
seems to do fairly well in Preston
county, especially at the lower alti-
tudes. II is liable to freeze out when
sown as late as September 1st. How
ever, II gathers nearly half OF its nj
trogen in the fall and is therefore bene
fetal even when IL does freeze out. A
few farmers OF this county have been
sowing crimson clover yearly for a
number OF years and are pleased with
results. When sown alone 10 to 20
lbs. OF seed per acre should be used.
Vetch is harder than crimson clover.
Even last winter it froze out very lit
tie. When sown with rye about 20
lbs per acre should be used. Much
more of 1t than formerly should be
sown in Preston.
Seed for cover crops is now very
high There is some doubt as to wheth-
er 1t pays to SOW this high priced seed
to plow under the cover crop early
for oats. At the lower attitudes of the
county where oats do not yield well.
cover crops should be sown. These
can be plowed under late in May for
soy beans. In fact, this should pay
better than oats anywhere In the coun-
ty. Rye is the cheapest and surest
cover crop. However. it does not i'm
prove the soil as much as the legumes.
For best results here. rye should be
sown between August 1st and October
1st. A mixture OF rye and vetch, or
rye and crimson clover seems to make
the best cover crop for Preston coun-
ty.
