A MAYORS MESSAGE

| TAHE city of Chicago is the sec
 ond city in the United States
 to recognize that boys and
 girls are citizens and entitled so responsible recognition, the same as are adults.
 When Judge Willis Brown inaugurat- ed hls great work in the state of Utah he immediately organized the city of Salt Lake into a boy city or junior Salt Lake. Then be depended upon the boys and girls to see that very few of the Junior citlgens violated law. As couseuuence the Salt Lake juvenile court presided over by Judge Brown had 30 per cent fewer children per pop ulation than any other court in the land. and when one considers that the nge of jurisdiction in Utah is up to the eighteenth year this proved the wis dom of making boys and girls responsi- ble.
 In commenting on the new depart ment of youth achievement inaugural ed in the city of Chicago Mayor Will liam Hale Thompson says: T am glad to recognize the achievement youth Of Chicago through the certificate and badge containing star for each det- pite achievement. know of no paper to which l will attach my name with more pleasure and with no sense or greater responsibility than the certih- nntn ,rhirh sIrnlfns that q boy OF girl

automobile manufacturers is quite novel In eIec.

comparable to that OF the well.known Nernst

through bed OF coke laid on its floor On bein,
sufficiently heated the floor becomes a conductor
and in turn heats the wall and top. rendering
them conductive until finally the entire furnace
becomes incandescent. II is stated by those who
have tried the furnace that its use in the heat
treatment Of automobile parts promises to be

Follow Method.

Perhaps the best time to break raw
prairie sod is quite late in the spring
or early In the summer and the work
must be done deeply. Breaking at this
time kills the grass and the usual plan
OF allowing the sod to lie fallow dur
Ing the summer allows the decay o.

or backsetting the new land is put In.

seeding Of winter wheat or other fall

Bollss In Denver Field and Farm. The
good results come as much or more
from the fact that the land lies fallow
for an interval before the crop is put

sod and the Improvement OF the physi
cal condition Of the soil as well as
the preparation OF available plant food
for the use OF the first sod crop.
When sod is broken and the crop
planted almost Immediately. whether
the breaking takes place In the spring
or fall. the resulting crop Is not apt
to be a great success. and often the
soil appears to be injured for the
growing OF succeeding crops. II the
plan Is to plant crops next spring on
this new land II may be better to
break In fall or winter instead Of
spring breaking Just previous to plant
ing the crop We have never done
any winter breaking but have under.
taken experiments In fall and early
spring breaking and the results have
been favorable to the work when
spring crops were planted.
There Is general impression
among some farmers that the winter
breaking or winter plowing OF land
injuries the sell. but have not been
able to prove this true and have never
seen any injurious results from such
practice. Growing crop on raw land
affects the soil injuriously and the bad
results are sometimes observed for
several seasons after breaking This
