The Power Of Advertising.

The influence Of advertising is clear
ly visible in the homes and habits of
the farmers. and the advertising col
umns Of the press are making their
imprint upon the lives of our people.
The farmer possesses the things that
are best advertised.
The farmer is entitled to all the
advantages and deserves all the lux
uries of life. We need more art, SCI
ence and useful facilities on the
farms, and many homes and farms
are we'll balanced in this respect, but
the advertiser can render a service
by teaching the advantages OF modern
equipment throughout the columns Of
the rural press.

The grand jury has taken a vacation until March, when it
will take up some more questions of interest. The legisa-

not a ripple nor a qualm--and it probably will not. And if

was done in the Blaine county case, if anything serious is to
come from all this cleanup.

GERMANY TEACHING
BOYS TO SAVE
The Schools Have Issued Gratifying
Cry to oermany's Youth"
That All May Save.

Berlin, April 29.-(Correspondence
OF the Associated Press) The
schools are undertaking their part to-
ward educating the people in econ
omlcal living. Boys attending Berlin
schools are now bringing home a
printed circular TO be hung up In their
homes. showing in detail how food
can be saved and best used-a sort
OF Ten Commandments for war times.
It bears the caption, "A Rallying Cry
to Germany's Youth" and has as its
motto. "Let us all be fighters in the
cause" The Ten Commandments are
as follows:
1. Everybody must save, for only
II everybody save will Germany's sup
plies hold out.
.. Waste no food. not even the
most unimportant.
3. Take time for eating. and chew
thoroughly.
4. Avoid all eating between meals.
5. Eat rye instead OF wheat bread,
and be economical with bread.
G. Be economical with butter. and
eat cheese. fruit sauces and marina
lade instead OF butter.
T. Eat abundantly OF fresh yege'
tables so as to save meat, fats and
bread.
8. At table call for potatoes in the
skins.
.. Buy chocolates and sweets and
send to the soldiers at the front-we
can gladly dispense with these things
10. In all that you do, remember
that you can contribute your modest
share toward helping create the new
Fatherland that we are all hoping
for Practice seli-sacrifce and work
Various remarks are added to these
commandments. Of which the follow
ing Is a specimen: BE careful to cal
everything from your plate; other
wise much Is wasted Thus twenty
grammes OF fat is wasted for each
person in Berlin every day in wash
ing the dishes. II these twentJ
grammes we're saved they would
amount for the whole population L

ALkALl sPoTs-THEIR
CAUSES AND REMEDIES

[By q. w. Roark Jr.. Assistant in

lege.l
An alkall soil is one that contains
soluble salts In an excessive quantity.
The ordinary alkall salts are sulphate
OF soda, chloride OF soda or common
salt, and carbonate OF soda. When
the alkal shows up only In places In
the field these spots are called
"alkall spots" II the salts causing
the spots are sulphate OF soda. or
chloride OF soda. they have a white
appearance and are called white
alkall" The carbonate OF soda has
a corrosive action on the vegetable
matter in the soil and gives a black
substance. II Is therefore called
black alkall." The black alkali Is
more injurious to plant life.
The rocks in the soil decompose.
part OF which goes into solution.
When the rainfall is sufficient, these
soluble salts are washed out and
finally go to the sea. But in arid
regions, where the rainfall is Insult
ficient, these salts are brought TO the
surface by the water and left there
by evaporation.
Irrigation without underground
drainage will give rise to alkali in the
soil OF the lower land Where water
OF poor quality is used for irrigation,
II will sometimes charge the land
with alkall. II doubtful about the
quality OF the water. one should have
chemical analysis made.
There is no chemical treatment
known which will counterfeit white
alkali But black alkall may be
changed to white alkall. which is less
injurious, by the use Of gypsum, com
monty known as land plaster, Alkal
soils may be utilized by growinl
plants which can resist the action Of
the alkali. Salt bush Is such a plant
and can be used for pasturage
Sorghum. oats and sugar beets ar'
also alkali resisting. but II is har,
to get a stand OF these. At the enc
OF the dry season when most Of the
( alkali is at the surface Il may b
scraped or. This is especially goot
for alkali spots. The land may alsC
be flooded with water and drawing 4
of after time. This is recommend
ed for heavy soils into which th'
water does not sink very rapidly.
Unless the alkali is near the sur
face It is not injurious The rise o
the alkali can be checked or pre-
vented to certain extent by keepinI
the flow OF water downward or by thu
use OF a mulch to prevent eyapora
ton.
The only real remedy or prevention
OF alkali is proper drainage.

companies which withdrew will re-

companies might return and do bust

let the question Of their back taxes
