With the advent of warm weathe

are hundreds of old people who will

always goes with good turn. II
you are planning a trip to some

have to spend ten minutes to help
her in and out of the car, so much
the better, it will be like the bibli.
cal bread cast on the waters 1t will
bring you big returns. Sit down and
make a list of ten old folks in town
you are going to give ride this
summer and we assure YOU thai
they will be the ten best trips OF
the year. If every car owner ln Elk

NOW WHAT?

Cosscn's know 'tdryness" beat hin
for Governor at the Primaries. While
Harding's ''wetness' gave him the
nomination. Now then comes the
state Convention from which there is
NO appeal. A part of the temperance
plank reads:
For forty years the republican, par-
ty has shown by it's words and its
acts that it has opposed to the Eq-
uor traffic. We believe that the real
friends of temperance will pin their
faith to a party with such record
in preference to one which possed a
sudden conversion to temperance af-
ter more than forty years of consist
era and insistent opposition. We fav
or amy and all laws which effectu-
ate Temperance. We reaffirm the
past utteramces of the republican
panty of Iowa upon prohibition,
which has become the settled policy
of this state, and declare that there
should be mo backward step there
ON! We believe the people of the
state should have right to pass
upon the question: of constitutional
prohibition, and we pledge that the
next legislature will submit tor the
people the proposed prohibitory
amendment approved by the Thirty
sixth general assembly. We stand fol
vigorous enforcement of all laws AN
umequivocably pledge our candidates
to THAT policy.

TAKING CHANCES ON THE
WEATHER

WEATHER
Why have you laid your corn
by?
Is there amy really good reason
why you should have quit cultivat-
ing it just when you did?
Perhaps your first answer is that
it became too big. But if cultivation
is good for little corn why isn't
it good for big corn, too?
Probably your second reason will
be that the weeds were pretty we'll
KILLED out. But is this all that you
cultivate corn for-to kill weeds?
The truth. is that there are quite
a lot of farmers im Iowa who have
not laid their corn by yet; and there
are some among them who are eN-
pecting to go over it again even in
August.
'They must be crazy you think.
OF course this is.it literally true.
The fact appears ito be that they are
pretty good FARMERS. Two years ago,
for example, many of them, especial+
ly i'm the south paIrt of the state,
got corn yields from two to three
times as great as the average yields
of their neighbors.
"But." you say, THAT was avn e1-
ceptionally dry season.
So it WAS; and this lis why these
men secured such striking results.
Their Theory lis that corn is cul.i-
waited for two purposes instead Of
one. The first oEe is to- kill weeds;
and the other is to control the sup
ply ofmoisture for the growing coru
| which as you wilE remember from
our last ARTICLE, really requires an
almost Incredible amount.
But how can cultivation control
the supply of motstura?
These men say that an enormous
amount of the moisture which comes
UP Through the soil simply evapor-
aees from the surface without doing
the plants any gClcd at all; that if
this evaporation is prevented, the
moisture wlll he taken up instead
by the plant roots; and that to pre-
vent the evaporation, lit is only
necessary to keep a layer of loose
dust, or a dust mulch, ON the sur
face.
This is their theory i'm nut
she'll; and in the main it has been
proved that they are rigth. If you
were to go into your field just now,
you would probably find that there
are thousands of little cracks or
seams alll over the surface of the
ground. You may put it down that
very much moisture is evapo rafting
Through them; alid it is certainly
TRUE that a dust mulch would pre-
vent this big loss of moist ure which
the plants may nesd badly little
later. I'll
! OF course, this cultivation to- con-
serve moisture can not be dome with
ordinary cultivatloIs since the corn
is so large. Instead. one horse
machine with small teeth to go be
tween the rows is used. Some farms
ers make them, using harrow teeth
J, The trouble is of course, that we
can't fonetell the weather. If we
knew that We were going to have
a dry season, it would pay we'll for
: everybody to do some more cultiL
