Forest and Farm.
[BY STATE FoRREsTER

The timbered land of the state is
paying the price" for the neglect of
the cleared land. If cultivated areas
are not constantly cared for, their pro-
ductivity becomes gradually less and
less, they are frequently quilted. and
the final result is a big amount of
WORKOUT and abandoned land; this is
especially so on slopes. The woods
must then supply more tillabls land,
and to do this the timber must be re-
moved. Thus it is easily seen that the
cutting off of a great deal of the
timbered land of the State depends up
on the way the land already cleared is
handled.
1t is now time to take two important
steps, namely: take care of the cul-
tivated land, and quit clearing new
ground" merely to keep mp the supply
of productive tillable land. 1t is most
important to relieve the strain on the
forested areas, and this can be done BY
paying more attention to land that once
produced crops but is now worn out,
and by caring for that now under cult
walton. Sloping land when titled
washes away il neglected; its fertility
dwindles away year by year until it is
turned loose for gullies and waste.
The farmers land is his bank account.
He can not "take out" all the time
without exhausting it. He is putting
something into it by building up bis
cleared land and saving his timber for
further growth or better use.
In clearing land for cultivation there
is very little thought paid to the future
value Of the timber. There is also
very little account taken Of the amount
of labor and expense in relation to
what that same amount would accom-
plish if applied to reclslming the worn
out lands. If the same efforts were
put forth to improve and restore land
as is made in clearing land to take its
place, big gain would be made in the
value and appearance of the farm, in
crop production, and in the saving of
timber that would otherwise be cut off
for securing fresh land.

EVERYTHING IS OFF

eminent Crop Reporter.

Everything is off" is the way
Francis F. Everett, county crop sta
tlcian, reports the crop condition in
Mahaska to date We have had
only a single day of sunshine since
last Wednesday," says Mr.. Everett
Rain, rain, rain. Fields soddel
and water-cOVered.
Should farmers be able to go into
fields tomorrow with the assurance
of continued fair and favorable
weather, not over fifty per cent Of the
small grain could now be saved.
From conditions that promised
the largest oat crop in the history OF
Mahaska we have come down to this.
Binders cannot get into the fields
Oats cut and shocked are now sprout.
ed and growing in the shock. Hun
dreds of acres of oats have been
abandoned and some have turned
stock into them.
"Of the wheat cut, fully half is now
ruined as far as milling value is con
cerned Wheat, like oats, has sprout-
ed in the shock.
Everything along the rivers has
been lost. What the earlier floods
did not reach has been taken by the
high water of last week. Des
Moines river went higher than dur
ing the earlier food of the season.
Skunk river came within six inches
of being as high as the previous over
flow. Countless acres of corn and
oats have been ruined.
Glover is practically a complete
failure. One farmer of the county
who housed forty loads, says he would
nary crop clover we'll cured.
Some timothy has been cut but
little has been cared for.
Corn is excellent in color but it
is making no growth. 1t is too cool
for corn 1t is fully two weeks be-
hind at this time.
Melons are as bad as the other
crops. They are not growing.
Potatoes are rotting and damage
in this direction will increase unless
conditions change"
Mr.. Everett since 1898 has made
and preserved a record of his work
in the corn field. His last day of
corn planting over a period of seven
teen years has averaged May %. He
was within that average this year in
concluding corn planting. Average
date for completion of cultivation for
the same period has been July 7th.
This season the date was ten days
later, July II. Some of his replant-
ed corn however he could not get in
to to cultivate. -

, information concerning him, Yates
corroborated the statements made in
communications, stating that he was,
upon occasions, hard drnker; that
he had suffered from delirium ire
mems. He volunteered the informa-
ton that he had been on protracted
drunk in Kansas City and was shot
to pieces" nerves unstrung, had
gone without food for ten days or
more taking nothing but strong
drink. He could not sleep, had no
control over himself and he left Kan
sas City to get away from the booze.
He did not know where he was 60
ing, no place in particular, but any
where to get away. He TOOK a cou-
pie of drinks of raw alcohol TO quiet
his nerves." anu then lost recollec-
ton of happenings. He confessed
that he had suffered from delirium
tremens before but nothing like this
time. He was seized with an hallu-
cinatiOn that he was trying to get
away from some one or something.
This statement was verified by the
talk Of the man when taken into Gus
IbuS' IlN hSSIlth W lilll1h pCODlt
were following him.
Yates insists that he and John
Barleycorn" have now parted compa-
ny for keeps. He is convinced that
he came near dying this time and
should the trouble occur again he
believes there will be no hope for
him. The fellow this morning talked
to Sheriff u. t. = Henley, County At
tOrncy McCutChen and others who
went to examine him. From a trem-
bling, craven maniac the man has
been transformed with three nights
good sleep to a steady-handed, well
poised man of fearless address and
good appearance. He SAYS he knows
where he can secure employment and
will leave town Immediately upon his
release. The state had no case
against the man and the county does
not desire to be held responsible for
him longer, hence the prisoner was
sent on his way this afternoon.
