1t is surprising how seldom the aver
age landowner stops to question or
show the slightest curiosity as to what
caused certain crops to achieve success
and what helped others to entire fail
ure, writes Edward K. Parkinson In
the New York Evening Post. A little
administrative machinery. a small out
lay on proper garden soil or a little
irrigation for a parched plain will
sometimes turn failure on the land into
triumph for us and solve the problem
quite satisfactorily.
But there is a lack of the most ele-
mentary knowledge-or shall we call
it interest?-as to definite agricultural
ideas and plans. to be noted In large

reality these differences in color are
plain indications to the discerning thai

nate. FO illustration, a freshly turn
ed furrow in u soil where clay pre-.
dominates will be grayish, while if it
were what is known as q lOamy soil
it would have the color Of light choco

Thus the leading characteristics OF
soils should OF necessity be studied, for
only by understanding something OF
the physical composition of soil in our
gardens is it possible to apply fer

fusion and hopeless guesswork.
All varieties of soil may be divided
into two great classes, according to
the method of their formation-"seden-
tary' and transported" Sedentary
soils are those formed by the weather
ing of rocks in the places where the
| soil is found or from the accumulation
OF organic matter. as, for instance. in
marshes. Transported soils are made
up Of materials which have been moved
by some agency, such as water. ice or
wind. to the place they now occupy.
To know just how to treat these
soils one must be familiar with the
components of soils-namely. sand, silt.
clay and humus-and the combinations
in which they are usually found.

Gated about thirty-five miles from
Monclova and carried off six thou
sand bushels Of corn. The grain, said
to have been held for villa troops in
a warehouse. and to have aggregated
about fifty thousand bushels, was dis
covered last Friday and the mob
marched on the place Saturday
evening.
Many Of the troops had been called
TO other points to prevent attacks
from the Carranzistas, leaving only a
small guard to protect the warehouse
containing the corn.
Ten or fifteen Of these deserted
their post when the women appealed
to them for food and permitted them
to help themselves. In small sacks.

the corn was carried away. Further
