May Run a Stock Train

The Rock Island has been figuring
recently on putting on a tri-weekly
stock train, to start from Dalhart
and go to Kansas City. There is
considerable grief over the present
system of handling the livestock
business with other lines of freight
and it is thought special train for
this purpose, which would have
precedence over other freights,
would "fll long-felt want" The
stock business of the Southwest is
again assuming it's old-time proper
tions and the putting on of a special
train to take care of it would relieve
the congestion due to handling so
many lines of freight by the same
train.

To Keep Soil From Blowing

Don't take a chance on losing your
wheat crop by allowing the soil to
blow. Take preventive steps.
This is the advice given to the
western Kansas farmer by c. c. Cum
ningham, assistant in cooperative
crop experiments in the Kansas State
Agricultural College.
Drifting soil often destroys large
acreages of wheat in western Kan
sas," says Mr.. Cunningham. THE
extent of the loss varies with the
season, depending on the force of
the winds, the growth of the wheat,
and the condition of the soil. In
1914, because of abnormal seasonal
conditions, little if any blowing oc-
Cured.
1.-THE most effective and also the
most practical method to control
blowing when 1t is about to start or
has begun is to list one or two fur
rows at intervals of three or four
rods. The listing should be done
east and west, as most of the winds
that start the blowing of the soil are
from the north or the southwest.
Land can be got over very rapidly
in this way. The lister burrows may
be leveled with disk lister Guilt
vator after the wheat has made suf-
ficient growth to protect the soil.
'The proper use of the sub-sur-
face packer will considerably de-
crease the chances of blowing. The
packer should be heavily weighted
and the field gone over in an east
and west direction. The packer
wheels leave the, soil in a ridged and
furrowed condition, which under or
dinary conditions prevents the soil
particles from obtaining a start in
that they do not move more than
four or five inches without falling in
to packer wheel furrow. Strong
winds long continued may finally
cause the burrows to become filed
and blowing may take place regard
less of the effort to control it, A
disk set straight and weighted can
sometimes be used to advantage, but
it may damage some wheat and is
not satisfactory implement. Where
the ground is loose, the use of the
packer may be beneficial in firming
soil.
"The harrow is sometimes used to
stop blowing, but the use of the i'm
plement is always more or less dan
gerous. When the ground is lightly
crusted and blowing is beginning,
the harrow may be used to advant-
age, especially if the lower portion
of the crust is moist and consider
able west soil is mixed with the dry
surface soil.
"Soil drifting can easily be pre-
vented by spreading straw thinly
over the fields. This requires time
and is not suitable when quick work
is necessary"
