Boys to Till the Soil.

Iowa City, Ia, April 30.-Seven-
ty-five high school boys in Iowa City
await the call of as many farmers
for them to go to the farms of the
county and work in an effort to help
solve the problem of maximum pro-
duction on farms for this year. The
plan has been worked out by the Ro-
tary club and the Commercial club
and has the Endorsement Of the
board of education, which has agreed
to give boys enlisting in this work
credit in school that will enable them
to finish their years work though
not actually in attendance.

to pulveriZe surface soil. This fine
soil is then turned under by the pillow
instead Of clods that keep the mois-
ture from the roots in hot weather.
In efforts to speed up" corn produc-
ton, however, do not make the mis-
take of blowing land much deeper
this spring than it has been in form
er years. Bringing raw" subsoil to
the surface this spring by deep plow-
ing may result in a decrease Of from
10 to 20 bushels Of corn per acre.
Deep blowing is recommended, but
in field shallow plowed for some
years it should be done in the fall.
Fall plowed land should be disced as
early as possible this spring. Repeat
discing every two or three weeks In
case of corn until crop is planted to
insure mellow seed bed and destroy
weeds.
Cultivate often and thoroughly.
The importance of this to kill weeds
and conserve moisture cannot be ov-
er-estimated
Pillow feed lots and put in corn
and other crops. 1t is not too late to
pillow and prepare for planting thous-
ands of acres of land that have been
used for feed lots and similar pur-
poses. Much of the soil in these
areas is very fertile and is especially
adapted for corn or for forage crops
such as rape, sorghum and millet."

Make the Roads Narrower.

To the Editor: American farm
ers are at present being urged to
cultivate every possible acre OF
ground this year, allowing not a
foot to go to waste anywhere. This
is rightly considered patriotic
duty of all farmers. Is it not then
also a patriotic duty of those in a
position to do so, editors, for in
stance, to start and push campaign
for legislation to cut down the legal
width of our public highways?
There is now more land wasted on
the highways of the state than any
where else. You yourself have surely
often seen the wide strips of grass,
weeds, ETC., between the grades on
our roads and the fences. On the
heavily travelled roads between
towns, where good grade is nee
essary, they could not we'll be made
much narrower but they can be mar
rowed some. But on all the by
roads and crossroads lie strips OF
idle waste land from six to ten feet
wide on each side of the grade, and
because the legal width of public
highways was established when
land was almost valueless it is now
a misdemeanor for a farmer to move
out his road fence to reclaim idle
land. Now is a good time to get
something started.
A Progressive Young Farmer.
The above was handed to us by
a well known farmer, AID it carries
a world of truth in it,

THE NEW DOG LAW OF IOWA.

Brief mention has been made
about the essential points of the Dog
Law passed by the last general as
|sembly. The law has been signed by
Governor Harding AID becomes eff
fective July 4th, next.
Text of the Law.
Be it enacted by the general as
sembly of the state of Iowa:
Section THAT it shall be I'M
lawful for any dog to run at large
within the state between sunset and
sunrise, except dogs while in the
chase or accompanied by their owner
or trainer.
Section mo dog owned or har-
bored by any person in this state
shall be permitted to run at large
between sunset and sunrise unless
it has been registered with the
county auditor and shall wear a col
lar bearing said registration num-
Der. A registration fee of so cents
shall be charged by the county audi
tor who shall furnish a suitable tag
bearing the registered number to be
placed upon the collar of such dog.
Any person who shall remove such
registration tag from the collar Of a
dog owned by any other person,
without the express authority of the
.owner of such dog, shall be guilty of
la misdemeanor, and shall be fined
not less than ten dollars nor more
than one hundred dollars, and stand
committed until such fine and costs
are paid, not to exceed thirty days.
Section Amy dog found at
large upon the lands of one other
than its owner contrary to the pro-
visions hereof shall be deemed a
tresspasser and may be lawfully kill
ed by the owner, agent, employee or
occupant of said lands; provided,
however, that nothing in this act
shall be deemed to apply to dogs
owned or harbored within the limits
of cities and incorporated towns
having their own dog regulations
while running at large within the
limits of such city or town."
This law is no doubt good in it's
intent but seems to be rather care
lessly drawn in that it provides no
penalty for the owner Of dog who
refuses to have him registered eX-
cept the loss of the dog if he be
found running at large at any time
of the twenty-four hours of the day.
The only way dog may have i'm
munity during the daylight hours is
to wear a tag and if no tag is pro-
vided by the owner there is no way
of Furnishing the owner for neglect.
On the other hand the law provides
fine of ten dollars and not exceed
ing one hundred dollars for removing
tag from dog. Then again, if a man
meet small-town dog he'll be COM
PEELED to ascertain before killing him
whether such small-town has any
dog regulations which protect said
dog while he is abroad. We opine
that it will be just about as difficult
as of yore to put the wandering dog
out of business.

COL. WHITE STILL BOOSTING.

Col. A. A. White of st. Paul, who
two years ago purchased from the
government Wild Horse island and q
large number of villa sites on Flat
head lake, was in Butte yesterday.
The colonel believes there Is no more
beautiful country lying out of doors
than that found along the shores Of
Montana's greatest lake and he has
backed this sentiment by investing a
large sum Of money there in real es-
tate. With the opening of the new
branch OF the Northern Pacific run
ming from Dixon to Poison, it is prob
able that more cities of this state
will become familiar with this most
charming section of Montana. 1t is
certainly an ideal region for the To-
cation Of summer homes and anyone
who visits this region at once will APP
preciate this fact. The colonel al
most single handed Is doing a great
deal to advertise the F1athead country
in the east and he is entitled to the
hearty support of the people of this
commonwealth in these efforts.-Adv.

BITTER ATTACK ON GERARD
Won Reventlow Says Former EN-
bassador Tipped OFF the Allies

London, Feb. 20.--Count Won Revent
low devoted the leading editorial in
the Berlin Tages Zeitung yesterday to
an attack on James W. Gerard, for.
mer American ambassador whom he
accuses of having used his official
position deliberately to transmit i'm.
portant war information TO the enten-
tie by way of America
MANY Indications he writes,
have continually pointed to the the
DRY that the uncontrolled cable ser
vice and letter service to the United
States permitted to the American EN-.
bassy had also been an uncontrolled
method of communication with Lon.
don and Paris. This was best illus
trated in the events which led to the
capture and execution of Sir Roger
Easement. Thus London learned in
good time of the enterprise which led
Easement to the Irish coast, and his
capture followed. American Embass-
ador Gerard and his personnel were
the ones who delivered the honorable
Irishman to the hangman."
An attack on American newspaper
service from Berlin is appended and
the article closes with an expression
OF hearty thankfulness that Mr.. Ger
ard has left Berlin.
