TIMELY FARM NOTES.

In storing away the farm tools for
the winter it is the best plan to replace
any broken or missing parts now rath.
er than to wait for the spring rush.
If the manure is hauled out during
the winter a hard job is completed
when spring opens up, and the team Is
ready for blowing rather than hauling
manure for a week or two.
Potatoes should be stored in a cool
cellar A temperature Of about 80 Is
good. If they are kept warm enough
to sprOut badly a loss of from ten to
thirty bushels per acre in yielding
power may result.
Store cabbages in cool cellar, heads
down. They may be hung from sup.
ports or the roots may be cut off and
the heads wrapped in newspaper and
laid on shelf, but they should be
hung heads down for awhile to insure
draining the water out.
Insect pests can be reduced by de
strOying the rubbish of dead plants
and weeds along the garden fence.
Sweep the shrubbery clean with a
broom, brush the under lodges of the
fence sweep the house wall, shake the
vines, dislodge sparrows' nests and
clean up in bright days.

worth going miles 10 see And Dewey,
his brother and his father are persons
worth talking with if one wants to get
enthusiastic about farming They
know how to farm, and they like to
farm. The Hanes boys are farmers,
and they are going to stay on their
farm. During the years to come they
will be contributing to the food supply
of the world and showing other farm
ers how to raise the present yield TO
unheard of figures each year.
Ask Dewey Hanes how he can grow
three times as much as the average
grownup farmers and he will give you
the formula in about three sentences.
He explains that he has fertile soil,
which he keeps fertile with manures
and fertilizer; that he plows deep, cul-
tivates thoroughly; that he uses good
seed and plants early. He might also
add-and tell the truth-that he studies
farming in the evenings and does lot
of experimenting on his home farm.

Leaf Spot on Reeta.

Three suggestions fP the control of
leaf spot Of the beet are given by the
Colorado Agricultural college;
First-Deep fall plowing and crop ro-
tation are recommended as the most
satisfactory methods of control. Beet
tops should be plowed under ten inches
in the fall.
Second, should be taken that no
diseased leaves are scattered to fields
in which beets are to be grown the
following year, and live stock on beet
top pasture should not be permitted il
next years beet fields for several days
Third,-Manure from stock fed with
diseased beet tops should be applied
to the land one or two years in ad
vance of the beet crop.

Schilt Doing Nicely.

Frank Schilt, who is suffering
from a evere attack of Rocky
Mountain spotted fever, common
ly called "tick fever" is getting
along very nicely under the care
OF DIR. Price, assisted by an expert
nurse from Denver. Mr.. Schilt is
holding his own very well, consid-
ering the seriousness of the dis
ease. DR.. Price has had about as
much experience as any M. D. in
the west with this disease and so
far has not lost a case. It is a
great deal like typhoid fever and
must run it's course, and that de-
ponds largely upon the constitu-
ton of the patient.

CINE was taken to Rawlins to the

ent the Germans had dropped a
bomb on to the city of Walcott.
They stated that it made a terrific
noise, and judging from the pres
sure of steam domes, about 200
pounds to the square inch, that
when one gave away it must make
some racket. Pieces were blown
as far as 800 feet from the engine.

Mondell ON Rural Credits.

Hopeful of some good results
from the proposed rural credits
bill, yet expressing his misgiv-
ings that it would not reach the
people who need it most, Con-
gresham Mondell, in explaining
his position to the House, said:
II desire to support legislation
intended or proposed to establish
a system of farm loans under Fed
eral supervision and assistance,
and as this bill attempts to do
that l support it. 1 very greatly
fear, however, that the cumber-
some plan of organization and ad-
ministration provided will not
work we'll anywhere, and 1 have
grave doubt whether it will work
at all where a system of rural
credits is most needed. The far
mers and ranchmen of the coun-
try in which l live and the state
which l have the honor to repre-
sent on this floor certainly need
relief from high interest charges.
Not only are interest rates high
with US, but frequently it has
been difficult to secure farm loans
extending I've a reasonable length
of time at any tolerable rate.
"In common with all new and
growing countries, We have suffer-
ed from the lack of capital seeking
investment. What little capital
has been available has mostly
sought short-term investment at
high rates. In this state of affairs
almost anything that promises re-
lief is welcome, even though the
promise be as indefinite and un-
certain as that held out by this
bill. l am accepting the legisla-
ton not 80 much for what it con-
tains as for what it promises. l
am for it in the hope that as ex-
p~erience proves the faults of its
provisions we may secure amend
ments which will remedy those
faults and enable US to work out a
practical and useful system of
farm credits"

who refused to divulge his name,
stated it is his belief that every
patriotic man of means, too old to
serve himself, should find a sub

E. Evans. "Uncle Sam needs able

next best thing and find a man to
join the ranks in my stead"

Postal Savings Banks.

Larger postal savings deposits
will now be accepted at the post
office. This is made possible by
an important amendment to the
Postal Savings Act just approved
by President Wilson. A postal
savings depositor may nov have
an account amounting to $1,000
upon which interest will be paid.
Formerly $500 was the maximum
amount he could have to his cred
it. This enlargement of postal
savings facilities will be very graf
flying to thousands of depositors
who have already reached the old
$500 limit and are anxious to en-
trust more of their savings to Un-
Gle Sam. Another feature of the
amendment that will avoid further
embarrassment to the public and
to postal officials is the doing
away with the limit on the amount
that could be accepted from a de-
positor monthly. Under the old
law only 500 could be deposited
in a calendar month. The amend
ment abolishes this restriction.
While the Postal Savings System
has already proved a signal sue
cess as is shown by the fact that
more than half-a- million deposit
tors have over eighty million dol
lars standing to their credit, still
it has fallen short of meeting the
full demands of the public be.
