said.
The laughs were on First Sergeant
Herbert Metzger the other day when
the sun was blazing away at its best
and the North Dakota boys were busy
grubbing away cactus and heavy un-
derbrush around the camp. Private
Fuzzy" Culliton had been wearing
a blue bandanna handkerchief over
his head and as evidence of the in
tense heat "Fuzzy's" head and face
became very moist. The coloring Of
the handkerchief began to run and
soon Mr.. Culliton's countenance was
the color of indigo. He kept right at
his work, however.
One of the boys noticed the peculiar
complexion and thinking that the man
was about to come down with a seri-
Gus illness called the attention of the

up to Culliton, and, taking him gently
by the arm, said: you had better

Culltton insisted that he was all
right and wanted to work, and the
top" sergeant just as stoutly main
tained that he should go to the hos

Something caught Metzger's eye. He
saw blue liquid drip from Culliton's
and saw the soaking bandanna. BY
this time he was surrounded bv a
crowd Of the boys and they broke into
roars Of laughter. "Fuzz" went back
to work and Metz" has had to stand
for good deal since then.

journeying south and during one such
mix Private Stoddard hurled two per-
fectly good elder down. pillows out of
the window while the train was
knocking off about 60 miles per hour.
Several hats were also lost on the way
down.
A big tarantula was found in Col

ugly looking scorpion was taken out
Of Lieutenant Oscar Holm's tent.
Shortly after tents were pitched
Private Harvey schneweiss caused
something of scare when he trotted
through the company street with a
good sized, wriggling whip snake,
which he had by the neck. A little
when he ambled through camp hold
ing a peculiar looking creature in his
hand. It was horned toad, not pois-
onous, but the boys weren't taking any
chances
Corporal Harold Van Dusen went
to bed the other night with what he
believed to be a tarantula. When he
discovered the big spider beneath his
mosquito bar he hoped out with sur
prising agility and prepared to do bat
tie, giving vent to an astonishing war
whoop. In the midst of the fray he

found its way down his bronchial

over the gnat the suspected tarantula

TILE DRAINED LAND DRIES .
FASTER THAN OTHERWISE. =

The tile drained portion of the ex-
pertinent station farm dries off faster
after a rain than does the portion not
drained. This has been a big adyant-
age to the crops and it has facilitated
the work as this land could be work
ed sooner than that which was not
drained
After heavy rain the water would
stand in the bitches full to overflow
ing on the side Of the road not ditch
ed while on the side that was tiled the
water would soon seep away. Over
one hundred acres of the land in the
plot work was tiled last summer. The
water continued to run from the tile
all summer The laterals are from
draw that far but the surface water
can be led toward the tile. 1t is sur
face water that causes the trouble
largely. If 1t can be led away before
1t has time to seep into the soil the
damage from it is avoided.
The land that was tiled is quite
level 80 that there was not much fall
Of half an inch to the 100 feet and
the laterals have a little more fall.
This is proving to be fall enough
when the tile is carefully laid More
fall would be better yet this tile
drainage work has proved a success
under as severe conditions as will US
ually be met with in the Red River
valley. This has been good year to
try it out. The crops on this tiled land
are very fine. In places where the !
land slopes away from the tile so that ,
the water has been held the crops are
not SO good. This has given the sur
face water a chance to seep into the
ground and it will take considerable
time for this to move through the
- nd fha Ia
The land used in the plant breeding
work was tiled several years ago.
Since the tile was put in it has been
possible to work land sooner in the
spring and sooner after a rain than
similar land not tiled.
