The same report gives results of
tests with eight varieties of wheat, five
varieties of barley, eighteen varieties
of tomatoes, and four varieties onions.
The experiment with two varieties
of mangels indicated that the Golden
Tankard variety gives larger yields in
the section than the long red mangel,
and that barnyard manure is very val
liable in growing this crop. On ma
nured land the Golden Tankard gave a
yield of 275 tons per acre, while on IN
MANFRED land the average yield was
17.2 tons.
In the onion experiments fertilizer
test seemed to indicate that complete
fertilizer composed of all three gave
better results than potassium sulphate,
ammonium sulphate, or acid phosphate
when applied separately.

Ladies Hold Zone Carnival.

The ladies of the aid society of the
Methodist church yesterday held a
most enjoyable and unique carnival
The object of the affair was to add to
the new church fund. A number OF
autos placarded Zone Hack" were put
in use to carry the passengers to the
three zones composing the carnival.
These three zones were the torrld,
temperate and frigid. The zone depot
was located at the Selz Royal Blue
shoe store, where tickets could be pur-
chased for the entire trip for the sum
of Is cents. Having purchased tick
cts passengers were taken by auto first
to the torrid zone, which was located
at the J. W. Coffland home. Here the
porch and rooms of the residence were
suitably decorated to represent the
torried region, with flowers, shrubs
and plants, all of which presented a
very pleasing spectacle. A committee
was stationed at this zone as well as
at the remaining two zones, whose
purpose it was to punch the tickets
and to see to it that the visitors were
served with lunch which had been pre-
pared At the torrid zone they were
treated to chicken patties, coffee, rolls
and ice water. The patrons of the car
nival were taken by auto from this
zone to the temperate zone located at
the William A. Lorimer home. The
natural surroundings at this place, in
Guiding the fresh greenness and the
natural foliage. well represented the
zone which it signified. The spacious
lawn and porch of the home were util-
lied to serve suitable refreshments.

age The already delighted guests were
next carried to the Thomas Hartman
home, which was uniquely fitted up to
represent that cold and icy zone. Cot
ton was used to represent snow and
upon the center table was placed a
large make-believe cake of ice. In an
other room, two white coyote rugs
had been placed side by side with a
| sled upon which sat a make believe
child just behind. This with the cot
ton all about presented realistic win
ter scene Still another feature OF this
zone was the placing about of num-
Der of fake children, each in the act
of throwing snowballs. Suitable re-
freshments of ice cream, cake and ice
water were served to the guests here
after which they were taken in the

in charge of the carnival are indeed
to be congratulated upon the excellent
results of their untiring efforts tC
