TO IMPOUND FLOOD WATERS
State viii Build Dams Across Draws
in Western Counties to Test
Irrigation Scheme.

Topeka.-Kansas has determined to
test out an old-time dream of former
Senator J. r. Burton. This summer
it will build ponds in western Kansas
to impound flood waters. If the ex-
pertinent proves successful. ranchmen
and farmers will be urged to estab-
ish such ponds on their farms. The
money already has been appropriated
for the experiment and the ponds will
be constructed in time to catch the
fall and winter rains.
Two years ago the legislature appro-
priated 100000 for irrigation expert
ments west of the Tooth meridian. The
commission established many pump
ing plants and some were successful.
1t has been demonstrated that the
windmill plants in the shallow water
district are feasible and many farmers
are putting them in. But irrigation
by means of deep wells has not been
so successful. The irrigation law was
changed by the recent legislature so
that the state could construct ponds
as we'll as dig wells

now OLD ARE OYSTERS?

AS a result of the examinations
of the surface lamellae Of the shells
of over six hundred oysters of known
age and Of various ages from IS
months to six years, made by Miss

lation between age and the number
of surface lamallae, or growth rings.
Miss Massey says that an oyster of

to possess at least two rings, but
r.ay have as many MS five; one Of
three summers has at least two rings
but may have six. A four-year-old
oyster may have three rings or

HARDWARE ANO IMPLEMENTS

G. Fisher. president of the local
speedway and pioneer of the auto
racing game.
The mother course will continue to
present the human element in auto
mobile racing. This course with its
low turns, requires extreme skill to
oring successful speed, will stand out
in contrast against the comparative
iy safe bowl courses, where extreme
peed is maintained with mechanical
precision. Men like Ralph De. Palma,
wrose masterful driving brought his
Mercedes across in the recent sensa-
tional race, are known to prefer
courses where the skill of the driy-
er is the determining factor. They are
known to believe that if the bowl
courses drive out such courses as are
mere, the remarkable drivers will dis
appear.
AS one driver expressed it today,
auto racing is in one way similar
TO golf. Ii the low score is the
only thing desired, golfers would flock
TO the easy courses that are now
Stunned, he said. The human ele-
ment and the element of risk,so ap-
parent in any 55O0-mile race here,
are all that save auto racing from
the humdrum.
Auto racing is about to be organ
lied, following in the path of organ
ized baseball, leaders in the motor
racing world have banded together
under the laws Of Indiana into the
| speedway association of America with
seven speedway courses in the league.
The courses are, the indianapolis
course, Sheepshead Bay, Chicago,
Minneapolis, Sioux City, Tacoma and
Omaha. These big league" cities
promise to systematic the game by
advertising it properly. They have
planned to send shrewd agent to Eu-
rope to interest drivers and makers
who have not yet senses America. In
other words, cooperation is expected
to proved the lubricant to place the
auto racing ON a smooth and perma-
nent basis.
But with organization, conflict is
already seen by few of the inter-
ested, especially in Chicago. New
! York is expected to object to another
race at Chicago on Oct. 0. Chicago
expects Sheepshead Bay to lower rec
ords and wants another shot at them.
In case N. Y. Objects and wins in its
protest to the A. A. A. contest board
it is limited that Chicago may break
away and cast its lot with the West
ern Automobile association.
