DRAINAGE ADDS TO PROFITS
Increase Of Yield From rs to 100 Per
cent-PhysIcaI Condition Of Soil
Improved.

Lands that are too wet for the most
profitable production Of crops should
be drained. Even uplands may often
be drained with profit. especially hill
sides subject to erosion or inclined
to be "spouty." Indeed, drainage is
profitable wherever it is necessary to
the fullest use OF the land.
1t is not uncommon for lends too
wet for cultivation to produce. when
drained, 60 or 20 bushels of corr or
oats to the acre. On much OF the
drained land the increase Of yield
is from 25 to 100 per cent, and by the
increased yield and the decreased cost
Of cultivation the value Of the land is
often doubled.
Drainage improves the physical con-
dition Of the soil by making it more
porous and friable.
Health conditions are also improved
by the drainage of swamps and stand
ing water.

GIRLS WASH WHITE PooDLES
One Way Women Earn Money to Help
Pay Way Through Kan
sas University.

Lawrence.-The task Of self-support
among the women students OF the
University Of Kansas includes every
thing from cooking for harvest hands
to washing little white dogs while in
school. The most common method in
practice is doing homework for fac
ulty women. One woman who is es-
pecially anxious to get along without
financial aid works for a professors
family while she is in school and
spends her vacations helping the farm
ers' wives cook for harvesters.
The ome who can do good steno-
graphic work are in great demand by
the professors. Women also do a great
deal of typewriting for other students.
A few furnish themselves with a little
pocket money by playing the piano for
gymnasium classes. Another solved the
problem OF making money last AGA
ton by making pennants for the Santa
Fe railroad. Two roommates who
wanted to decorate their rooms but
lacked the funds have been giving a
little white dog a bath once a week,
netting them 81 a month.
