BIC COUNTRY ESTATES
BEING BROKEN UP BY WAR
by Wilbur s. Forrest,
nited Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON. April 26.-The aristo-
cratic owners of England's famous
country estates, comprising thou
sands Of idle acres, today are selling
their holdings because the war has
pinched them financially. This IS
believed to mean that the idle land
will be broken into small holdings
and that England will become an inn
Iportant agricultural nation.
These grand country manors, cas-
ties and mansions on immense re-
serves OF idle land have been famous
for centuries as deer parks, shoot
ling preserves, lands OF the fox hunt,
golf and fishing. Today they are a
idrug on the market.
The current issue of a well known
British real estate magazine today
carries nineteen solid pages OF close
! ~ printed advertisements asking pur~
Ichasers or tenants for more than 50.-
l000 acres of sporting estates and
Iinnumerable country seats through
out England, Scotland and Wales.
Real estate experts with an eye IN
the future declare the large estates
will in most cases fail of sale or
lease; that they must be split into
smaller tracts and sold for agricul-
tural purposes. The fox hunt and
the grouse moor will never again be
so popular as they were before the
WAR, say the experts.
Here is a sample ad OF the prop
!erties now on the market:
Historic manor house in the
Western Highlands Thirty bed an
dressing rooms. several reception
rooms. Delightful matured old
grounds. Ten thousand acres Of
shooting. For sale or moderate rem
tai
The al continues to explain that
one seasons shooting on the game
preserves has been 1000 pheasants.
500 cartridges, $50 hares, 1900 rao-
bits and many woodcock, duck az
snipe.
ANY persoa III America who has
garnered wealth making munitions.
or otherwise. could lease real cas-
tie ON a Ions time contract at very
moderate terms.
This castle. its adj declares, IS
charmingly located on pretty Loeb
ana IS surrounded BY a vast sporting
estate of 14,000 acres, 1900 Il
which consists OF one of the best
grouse moors in Scotland. The best
single bag of grouse thus far has
been $50 brace, There also is el-
cellent salmon fishiag and golf links.
The ad. makes no mention OF agri-
culture.
With hundreds OF thousands OF
men released from the army after
decentralization, Britain must find a
place Tor them.
Those who have lived in the ope-
air will not return to desks in stuffy
offices and indeor civilian occupa-
tions Of the past They win insist
on continued open air, according u
those who are now making a study
of the situation.

SAVE FERTILIZER ELEMENTS.

Should Be Utilized and Developed.

ingredients Existing In the Soil
Should Be Utilized and Developed.
In the unusual conditions existing in
the fertilizer trade. says u statement
just issued by the secretary Of agricul-
ture, it is important that all fcrtilizing
materials on the farm, especially those
containing potash, should be conserv-
ed. The fertilizer ingredients already
existing in the soil should be utilized
and developed to the fullest extent.
A great deal can be accomplished in
this direction by deep blowing. con-
slant cultivation and thorough tillage.
There should be Il proper system of
rotation. Especially where II crop
has been grown for several years a
different II should be planted this
year. Green manures and cover crops
should be used as much as possible in
their proper rotation.
OF the organic substances manure,
both solid and liquid, is the most i'm
portant and should be utilized when
eve possible. All material of an Or
ganic nature, such as leaves and bed
ding Of various sorts, should be com
posted and the compost applied to the
soil. Special attention should be given
also to the conservation Of wood
ashes. Depending on the character of
the wood, they contain potash in guam
titles varying ordinarily from 3 to 10
nor nnnt All fInn t1.i, m IN orc hr,1Sh
cuttings, etc. should be burned and
the ashes derived thcrcfrom utilized.
The application of lime to many
soils is Of u%ndoubted benefit. Though
the availability of the tcrtilizing ele-
ments in the soil may not be greatly
increased by it's use, the resulting i'm
provement in physical and bacterial
conditions may increase considerably
the pr~oductiveness of the soil.

Mr.. Phiffer who runs one of the
pool rooms in Iona was at Devils
Lake a part of the past week under
going medical treatment and we are
all glad to learn that his ailment was
not nearly as serious as it had been
supposed to have been.
The lack of freight trains on the
500 is interfering considerably with
the local condition of trade. Iona
is experiencing a kerosene famine
and what makes it the more of a
household hardship is that many
families are using stoves of this kind
with which TO do their cooking.
Fred Thompson received a visit
from his brother, John l.. Thompson,
his wife and their young son, who are
now making their home in the vest
ern part of Canada. According to
MIR. Thompson we are having a much
more severe sample of winter weather
this season than they have been ex.
%periencing out in the west.
With piles of snow, a temperature
of thirty below zero and the wind
blowing a fierce gale the town of
Iona is short on kerosene and the
roads so bad for travel that the tank
man of the Standard Oil Company
can only reach here with the greatest
difficulty. This is one of the trials
and tr%ibulations of a snow blockaded
town.
William Soper has recently arrived
to spend some time visiting with his
father, j. D. Soper and his large
number of Iona friends as we'll as
with members of the family and
others he happens to know at Weaver.
On his way here from the western
part of Canada he looked over por-
tions of Montana, which he passed
through and saw quite a number that
he knew. He has spent the past ten
years in the Northwest.
Clifford Soper raised a splendid
crop of measles as soon as he arrived
home but he is all through with them
now. 1t is understood that several
members of the family of Gus.
Schultz are kept at home these days
with quite a bad bunch of measles.
Another case in Iona of the same
trouble is the infant daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Emil Carlson. There is
also sickness of a mild kind at the
Hensel home, where the daughter,
Miss Marguerite, has had quite a
tussle with la grippe for several days
past. In fact if we undertook tc
chronicle the names of all the natives
of Iona who have been laid up with
this ailment since the new year start.
ed it would include pretty much
everybody in the town.
The rotary snow pillow of the whear
line on the 500 went west from here
