Crops for the Dry Belters.

Fbr several years have been expert
me1ting with shallow and deep plowing
and was = great booster for this kind
of tillags when we called seven or eight
inch plowing deep. Afterwards plow
ed several hundred acres with a deep
tilling machine, and thought I had struck
it rich by so doing with the idea that II
seven or eight inches was q great deal
better than three or four then natural
ly twelve to sixteen inches would be 30
much better accordingly and was loath
to give up my idea that was not the
case. have to confess however that
I now prefer the seven or eight inch
blowing and get more acres plewed with
the same amount Of power when the
ground is in the best condition.
A ~ sandy or chocolate loan soils
have given the best results with what
call medium depth or an average Of
seven or eight inches, plowed in moist
condition, rather than any deeper, but
very heavy or adobe soil when dry

Ii there are coarse clinkers among the
cinders hammer them up, apply hot gas
tar, take a garden rake and mix to a
depth of about two inches, making a
muck of the tar. cinders and earth.
Mix it well so as to get all particles tar
red, level off smooth, then sand to the
amount that will prevent sticking to
the roller or tamper and tamp down SOL

a stable floor of puddled clay said about
his tamping, 81 tamped and tamped

precision cannot be given it. In fact all

is the better plan. The hardening pro-

COMMERCECHAMbER EXCURSION AND
 PICNIC JULY 27.
A n n ua l "Get- Together Meeting to Be Made an
 Outdoor Event.

The annual outdoor entertainment for the members of the chamber of commerce and their families will be given two weeks from today, on Tues day, July 27, according to decision reached yesterday at a meeting of the entertainment committee of the trus- tees of the organization.
 The affair will be of greater scope, perhaps, than has any given by the organization in the past. The riv- CT packet Lightwood will be charter ed for the occasion, and will take the members and their families for ride up the river. There will be music and arrangements for dancing, and a stop will be made at some point up the river where lunch will be enjoyed, and perhaps a baseball game played between the Fats and the Leans, or the Bachelors and the Benedicts, or two other teams equally we'll known.
 The boat will leave the wharf here at 9:30 o'clock in the forenoon, and it is expected to travel up the river until about noon, when the picnic grounds will be reached. Here the basket lunches will be taken care of. After the baseball game and other amusements, the boat will be again boarded for the ride home.
 Every member of the chamber of commerce, and every member of his family is expected to attend the af- fair, which is the annual "get-togeth- CT" outing of the organization. As the chamber. of commerce now has more members than it has ever had in the past, it is expected there will be a record breaking crowd in. attend ance at the outing and boat ride.
