of the methods used in his depart

in his own words below:
We have bureau whose duty
it is to read each week the coun-
try newspapers from all over the
country. There is not a paper of
any consequence in our trade terri

This bureau looks over the pa

Probably the greatest of all
his triumphs was the election by
which bonds were ordered issued
with which to build new. school
house. Then when funds were in
adequate, another election was Or
dered and another ten tohusand
dollars worth of bonds were issued
With the proceeds, the school
board with Prof Hoyman as a
steering committee has built one
of the very best houses in the
state of Iowa for the amount in
vested. 1t is the pride of our pee
pile, a deserving tribute to an in
telligent school board and an Edu-

How Acids Get In the Soil.

How Acids Get In the Soil.
1t was stated last week that the
second one of the four causes
which are operating to reduce the
fertility of Audubon County's land
is acid in the soil, or soil acidity.
Just how the acids are produced
i'm THE soil is of no great import
ance since we would be una bile to
prevent them from forming no
matter how we'll we understood it,
1t is general law that when any
thing decays, acids are formed.
Indeed sometimes the decay is not
necessary, but only the first steps
leading toward lit. The first change
that comes in milk, for example,
is the formation of an acid and we
say that it is sour; and if cider
is left exposed to- the air, it first
becomes hard, but FINALLY turns to
vinegar which contains much acid.
Moreover, the swteeter the apples
from which the cider was made,
the sourer or more acid the vine
gar wild be.
Vegetable matter is decaying i'm
the soil all the time AMID acids
are being formed there; and at the
same time we are removing from
the soil in our crops, the miner
ais that Nature left there to- neu-
tralize the acids. Finally a time
comes when the acids are not
neutralized and the whole mass of
soil becomes acid. This is happen
ing in Audubon County now ID
every field in the county were to
be tested, more than a half of
them would probably be found
to be acid. A sample which was
taken to Ames from Audubon,
Township last year by Roy Little
field, who Isl taking the Two
Year Course in Agriculture there,
was found to be. quite strongly a.
cid; and practically all others that
have been reported in the last
two or three years have shown
scme acidity.
There is no longer any question
that soil acidity has reached uA
The question ncw is what harm is
lit going to- do us?
There are some crops that will
Dot grow in an acid soil, some
that can stand little acid, but
do more and more poorly as the
acidity becomes stronger, some that
can do fairly we'll (but no more
than this) if acids are present,
and no Important crops that are
To be more definite, alfalfa can
not possibly succeed if the soil
is acid; red and white clover can
stand little though their growth
becomes less as the acidity be-
comes stronger until finally in the
case OF the red clover it will not
succeed at all in strongly acid
soil. Usually the seed terminates
quite we'll; but the small plants
are later killed apparently by dry
weather, the cold of winter, or
perhaps from no cause at all that
any one can, see. In case there
is very much rain during the sea-
son, as was the case last year.

washed out of the soil, red clover
may succeed even though it fails

A CRAZY MAN
STRUCK Town SATURDAY

A crazy man struck Extra last
Saturday and his peculiar actions
about the stock yards and depot
caused his arrest. He was brought
before his honor the Mayor. AT
ter a short investigation as to
his mental condition, the Sheriff
was communicated with and he
was ordered to be taken to Audu-
bon. On the way it was his GUS
HON to pray as he passed the
farm houses, and while passing
through Hamlin he prayed fervent-
ly, for, that City. When arriving
at Audubon it is alleged the au-
thorities had some doubts as, to
who was the crazy man whether
it was Scott or Dimdck or the
other fellow. OF course we knew.
At least we thought we did.
