l., WINTER COVER CROPS.
Although Growth May Be Small They
Will Protect Soil.

Whatever may be the system OF crop
rotation. all fields which are subject
to blowing or washing of the soil
should be kept covered with some crop
during the winter. This is usually
advisable even though the field is not
subject to blowing or washing of the
soil should crop is grown during fall
and early spring it will enrich the soil
when plowed under. II oats are to
follow a corn crop, clovers, cowpeas
soy beans. wheat, rye, or some other
crop should be planted in the cornfiel.t
at the last cultivation, or as soon as
the corn Is cut. Although such crops
may not have time to make much
growth. they Will protect the soil dur
ing fall, winter. and early spring. and
add to it's fertility when turned under
or uprooted by cultivation. The
growing of beans. peas. clovers. etc,
is a great help to the soil even though
the seed be gathered or the vines cut
for hay. but the turning under Of the
entire crop enriches the soil to a great
er extent an don poor soils causes a
very noticeable increase in yield TO-
two or more years.

SEED POTATOES.
Suggestion Made by Wyoming Expert
ment Station About Their SeIee-
ton.

According to tie Wyoming Station,
there is no other way to get true breed
characteristics in potatoes except by
selecting seed from the perfect aiii.
and seed should be selected only from.
hills producing first-class marketable
potatoes in the growing OF which there
is no waste of plant food.
When the potatoes are ripe enough
to keep. but before they are duK and
when the vines are still green and in
good condition. is the time to select
potatoes to be saved for seed Go into
the potato field and look for strong.
healthy looking tops A strong healthy
top is evidence of good potatoes. When
a hill has been selected, dig into IL.
II the potatoes are uniform in size and
smooth and true to tpye. mark tire NIL:
to save for seed. A strong, healthy
hill containing 10 to IL medium sized
potatoes. uniform and smooth, Is a bet
ter hill for seed than one containing
only FIVE or six very large potatoes.
Potatoes selected from the bin are lot
as good for seed, as they will Ecl BE-
uniform and will not produce as uni
form a crop. There Is not much extr1
work involved in this method of selec-
ton, as aman can. pass through a fcld
ard examine and mark the selected
hills very rapidly: then when the po-
tatoes are dug these hills can be KEEP
by themselves.

TIMOTHY AND TOBACCO FOR
FERTILITY.

The Importance of keeping the fer
tillty Of the soil up and increasing
each year and at the same time grow
year is a problem which every tobacco
farmer is facing. Since tobacco is

to grow every year plans should be
so made that the organic matter Of the
soil can be increased Timothy has
been recommended as the best cover

tobacco. should one not be able to get

during the Is years two applications
of lime at the rate of one ton per

Kennedy frowned. What was that
scratching noise? Could it be Jen-
nings? Perhaps it was Rusty. 49,.
Just then we could distinguish a
sound as though someone had moved
about. .~...... ..~
"No-that's not Jennings" cried
Craig. He went out" -..
He looked at me a moment The
same stealthy noise was repeated.
Its the Clutching Hand" he ex.
claimed excitedly. -. ;.
A moment later Dan hurried into
the Dodge library. g.. .
For heavens sake, Chief, hurry"
he whispered hoarsely. 1.-THE Falsers

Dan himself had no time to waste.
He retreated into the hallway just as
Jennings was opening the door for
Elaine .-~
Marie took her wraps and left her,
while Elaine handed her numerous
packages to Jennings. -
Dan watched every motion.
Put them away, jennings" she
said softly.
Jennings had obeyed and gone up
stairs. Elaine moved toward the IL
brary. Dan took a quiet step or two
behind her, in the same direction.
In the library Clutching Hand was
now frantically searching for the
spring. He heard Elaine coming and
lodged behind the curtains again just
as she entered.
With hasty look about, she saw
no one. Then she went quickly to the
panel, found the spring and pressed
it. So many queer things had hap
pened to her since she went out that
she had begun to worry over the safe
ty of the papers. -
The panel opened. They were there,
all right. She opened the box and
took them out, hesitating to break the
seal before Kennedy arrived.
Stealthy and tigerlike, the Clutch
ing Hand crept up behind her. AS he
did so, Dan gazed in through the por-
there's from the hall.

Il wonder whether locked those

ing in the hallway. Il guess I'd bet
ter make sure"
He had taken only a step toward
the library again when Dan watchfulIy
caught sight Of him. II would never
do to have Jennings shopping around
there now. Quick action was neces-
sary. Dan knocked over costly
Sevres vase. 49,. ...
'There-clumsy-see what you've
done!" berated Jennings, starting to
pick up the pieces.
Dan had acted his part we'll and
promptly. In the library Clutching

He ran his finger along the woodwork.
