Stop Those Gullies!

Small Gullles that have started
in the field should be stopped by
filling them with straw or similar
material If the gully is large it is
advisable to pillow in soil on top of
this material and SOW to oats or
later to sorghum so that the crop
will come up thick and form a
strong root mass to bind the soil
together The proper use of debris
for filling and rank growing plants
for holding the soil will stop most
washes entirely Eternal vigilance
however is necessary for complete
success. NJ. F Miller, Missouri Az

Drag That Road!

A stitch in time saves nine" is
just as true in road dragging as in
fenCe-fiXinG and other farm work
Don't let the rush of spring work
cause you to neglect road dragging
until the ruts are so deep and the
weeds have such start that the drag
cannot do its best work. A little
careful work now and during the
remainder Of the season will not
only keep the roads in good shape
but keep down the weeds in such a
way as to save a grel deal of work
at weed moving time. M A. K
Kelley, Missouri College of Aeri-
culture
The writer stated at the out break
Of the Mexican troubles that there
was only one solution to the prob
lem, and that was for the United
States or some other foreign power
to establish a government same
as was done in Cuba and the
Philippines and we are more than
ever convinced that this will havet
to be done.

FARNUM FEARS
ONE ~THING-MICE
Fighting Blood" Star Feels for
Women and Elephants Like
wise Afflicted.

William Farnum, 100000 a
year star, who is seen in the Will
liam Fox production, Fighting
Blood" is afraid of mice and he
admits it. Mr.. Farnum's cour-
age in other respects is a matter
of general admiration by photo
play actors and actresses. He
has performed some of the most
death-defying feats ever done
for motion pictures. When it
comes to having anything to do
with mice, however, he draws
the line.
Mr.. Farnum's fear of mice is
attributable to an experience Of
early childhood when, while
lying in his cradle, he was bitten
on the back Of the hand by a
mouse. Several days after the
occurrence he became sick and
delirious, Since then he has
shared in common with women
and elephants a fear of mice.
When three elephants were
shipped from New York to be
used in Jamaica, Mr.. Farnum
supplied each of the huge beasts
with mouse protectors consisted
of funnel-shaped metal bands ia
be strapped around the ele-
plants ankles. They bore
general resemblance to the device
used to prevent rats boarding a
vessel by running up the hawser,
