Work will begin shortly. The arch
will be SO feet long, 2S feet high
and extend Is feet below the stream

Orono, Me-, May S.-(SpeciaD-The
following has just been made public at
the Maine agricultural experiment sta
ton:
During the summer Of 1915 several
fields Of sweet corn and potatoes stood
still" early in the growing season. Many
fields contained missing hills. 1nvestl-
CATION showed the damages due to fer
tilizer burning" the seeds and seed
pieces. AS late as October Is nearly
half teaspoonful of fertilizer was found
in a bunch directly under each or sew
eral sweet corn stumps. In this field
heavy application Of fertilizer had been
applied in the drill row.
1t is quite necessary to apply ferti-
lizer in the drill row for many crops
grown in Maine. The young plants
need the running start" that this near
by fertilizer gives them. Most drills
are so built that there is no need or

thoroughly mixed with the soil so that
the seeds will not touch 1t. A little
watchfulness at this point may save
you the embarrassment of poor stand

The method of applying one-half Of
the fertilizer in the drill row and
broadcasting the remainder is. step in
the right direction. This method les
sens the danger of the fertilizer burn

advantage Of encouraging the roots to
spread out through the soil. Where all
the fertilizer is applied in the drill row

become lazy and crowd around the
fertilizer under the hill. Such laziness
on the part of the roots is poor prepa-

Too Many Lines Out.

The second episode was at a local
lake. where fishing with more than
one line is prohibited at all times. The
local fish warden saw through his
binoculars a man calmly smoking in a
rowboat quite a distance from shore,
with a rod in his HANDS, and three lines
hanging oversize. He shouted to the
fisherman to pull up the lines and come
ashore, but the man calmly told him
where he could go. and kept right on
smoking and fishing, unruff1ed as a
June morning.
The warden shouted at him until he
got hoarse and finally the silent fish
erman piped up and informed him that
If he wanted him to come to Shore he

come out and pull him in. This bright
suggestion appealed to the warden.

boat house, pulled back up the lake to
where he had seen the fisherman, at

Those who have been in a position to

however, be constructed in almost any

Thus the person who wants to use it
exclusively for potatoes has only to

some fresh fish, and finally said,

One on the
Game Warden
A Little SELL"

Inc first episode in this series hap
pened a couple of years ago on closed
brook neal the Belgrade chain Of lakes,
when a small but select party of Au-
gusta men went up there with the de-
iperate and prem editated plan OF
fishing closed trout brook. and open-
~ did 1t, their method being as fol-
lows: The local warden lived in plain
sight of the brook, and the fishermen
stopped their car in front of his house
and got out. inquiring if he knew
where they could buy little cider. He
replied that he did, and produced a
gallon jug, from which they had sew
eral drinks, and bought the rest "to
take with u.s." Then one of the party
casually remarked, I'VE are going to
fish -- brook" "Oh, you can't
fish that brook" said the host genial
ly, I'm the warden. and the brook is
closed We'll. guess We'll fish 1t just
the same" quoth the leader of the
fishermen, as he commenced to put his
rod together. IF you do I'll have to
put you under arrest" said the now
angry warden, but he cooled down
considerably when the spokesman of
the party remarked that if the warden
wanted to take them, and the hard
cider. to Augusta, he, the leader of
the fishermen, would supply the auto
mobile for that purpose and have the
warden prosecuted for selling the
cider promptly upon their arrival. And
they then proceeded brookward, while
the warden went away from there hur-
riedly.
