years school has been held in the little
log cabin of Ebert Brewer, opposite
the Alfred Croft ranch home.
Up on the headwaters of Crystal
creek Mrs. VIM. Kruse planted a gar
den from June i to Is. All the pro-
ducts we're raised without irrigation,
yet potatoes, carrots, cucumbers, can
taloupe, Hubbard squash and other
vegetables gave exceptional yields.
This garden is all new ground and
did not receive any special attention,
but so fine a yield was obtained from
IL that the household was supplied
with everything needed in the way of
early and late vegetables.
The first pine trees encountered in
the Pilgrims migrations we're found at
the head of Crystal creek. A SPLEEN
did grove of the trees stands there.
The second pine forest was seen in
the upper Rattlesnake creek country,
near the George w. Bradley ranch.
Mr.. Bradley is the pioneer settler of
the Crystal country, but so busy is
he in his fields Of grain that he has
had 40 time to give the Pilgrim any
pioneer data, but the promise has been
given that at a later date it will be
forthcoming. VIM. Snyder, the second
settler in this section, whose ranch
home is located just below the Crys-
tai postoffice is likewise exceedingly
busy in grain and hay fields at pres
ent.
Mrs. John Bryant, who resides on a
high bench above Rattlesnake creek,
is milking one COW at present-a Jer-
sey-Durham-and gets enough butter
to sell some besides supplying the
home. Last summer from two COWS
from ten to twelve pounds of butter
were churned each week. A fine
flock of chickens adds to the income
of this ranch. Mrs. Bryant said that
besides having the care of the gar
den, dairy and chickens on their
hands, many m during the har-
vesting season also attend to the get
ting in of the fuel from the quaker
aspen groves and to the %chopping of
it. She explained, however, that is
solely due to the fact that the men
are engaged in heading and threshing
from early morning until late at night.
Joshua S. Bryant, father of John
Bryant, owns a homestead in Bannock
valley, three and one-half miles south
east of Arbon postoffice, and he spends
part of his time with his son above
Rattlesnake creek. Mr.. Bryant ST.,
is a veteran of the days of '61-'65. In
1863 he enlisted in d troop, Second
Minnesota Volunteer Cavalry, at
tached for a time to the corps com
manded by Major-General Sully, and
served to the end of the war. This
regiment was engaged in fighting In
dams from the Minnesota line to the
Yellowstone river in Montana, and the
troop in which Mr.. Bryant served
never saw a southern battlefield. The
veteran is in his seventy-sixth year
but is hale and hearty despite his ad.
vanced age. Last winter he spent il

Mrs. j. 7. Lyons, who resides on a
ranch nine miles southeast of Crys-
tai, on the upper reaches of Rattle
snake creek, planted a half-acre gar
den last spring and raised fine pota-
toes, beets, beans, sweet corn, carrots,
turnips and summer squash. This
upper Rattlesnake country is pretty
we'll up in the air-around $500 feet
up-but things grow while the growing
is good in the short season. Even
the geese grow good and quick up
there, as is evidenced by the bunch of
seventeen on this ranch. They fur
nish feathers for pollows, and find a
ready sale on the market at good
prices.
Mrs. V. V. Levy, residing a mile and
a half west of Crystal, from a dairy
herd of three cows-a high grade Jer-
sey, a high grade Durham and a high
graded Guernsey-ships cream to mar
ket and her income from this source
has reached $14 per month. The
Levy ranch is undergoing the first
stages of ho~mesteading and develop
ment is the order of the day, and it is
a certainty that the dairy feature will
receive the full attention due it.
On August % Mrs. d. B.. Martin
planted some American Wonder peas
in her garden on the Orchard ranch
on Rattlesinake creek as an expert
ment. BY September 27 these plants
were giving a fine yield-enough to
put up some of the second crop toedd
to those put up from the first crop.
Late radishes and lettuce are also
growing well. Anything will do fine
in this Crystal mountain loam-in
garden or feld-if nature will only
give an adequate growing season.

VALUE OF WINDBREAKS
INCREASE IN RETURNS
Reduce Evaporation, Hinder the
Blowing of Top Soil. Pre-
vent Physical Damage.

That the farm windbreak will more
than pay for the use of the land it
occupies and saps by increased returns
:. from the sheltered crops and by the
value of the wood produced is indi-
Gated by studies made by specialists
of the Forest Service of the United
States Department of agriculture.
The results of these studies are re-
ported in a recent publication Of the
department, Farmers Bulletin o. 1888,
| The Windbreak As a Farm Asset.
The value of a windbreak is meas
ured by it's impenetrability. Ordin-
arily it does not provide an absolute
barrier to the wind, but only greatly
reduces the velocity of the air cur
rents. To increase the effectiveness
of the breaks several row of low
growing trees and shrubs often are
planted parallel to the main building
W~indbreaks serve useful purposes
both when used to protect growing
crops and farm buildings.
A Protection to Crops.
When used as a protection for
growing crops w~indbreaks reduce
evaporation, hinder the movement Of
top soil, and prevent physical injury
to the crops. They also operate to
bring about a higher temperature in
the protected area during the day, an
effect due largely to the reduction Of
evaporation. OF these functions, the
saving of moisture is the most i'm
portant, since anything which helps to
make additional moisture available to
crops is, under normal conditions, a
direct benefit to the farmer.
Windbreaks also tend, however, to
affect crops adversely to a certain
extent. The roots of the trees spread
under the nearest plants of the adjoin-
ing crops and sap from them mois-
ture and plant food. By shading the
ground the breaks also may prevent
the crops in the shaded area from de-
veloping properly. Whether the total
effect of the windbreak is good or
bad depends upon whether the bene-
fits derived from it's influence on wind
movement, temperature, and evapor-
alton are greater or less than the in
jury resulting from the sapping and
shading of the ground e a by.
Taking all these factors into on
%sideration, the specialists of the de-
partment have reached the conclusion
from their studies that with ordinary
field crops the farmer may count on a
benefit from windbreak protection
which will make the loss of the area
occupied by the trees negligible. Un-
der middle western conditions a wind
break whose width does not exceed
two or three times it's height will
more than pay for itself, regardless
of the timber which it may produce.
Farther east the same kind of influ-
ence and benefit will exist, though in
a less marked degree, and a greater
direct return may be expected from

growing the timber for its W value,
SO that the need of ven a slight
amount Of protection should make
windoreak planting attractive. The
saving with corn was especially mark
ed, the investigators found.
About farm homes the principal
function of w~indbreaks is to promote
the comfort of the farm family. By
cutting of the unrestricted sweep OF
winter winds the breaks make the
heating of the buildings easier and
therefore less expensive.
Planting Windbreaks
In any region the windbreak should
be so laid out as to offer the greatest
resistance to damaging winds and to
protect the greatest area. This SIM
ply means having the belt or row at
right angles to the prevailing winds.
The kind Of trees to plant should be
determined by the moisture and other
climatic conditions. Under the re-
spective conditions favoring their
growth the following varieties Of
trees or shrubs have been found USE
full in the construction of windbreaks:
Cottonwood, mulberry, Usage, orange,
green ash, locust, Scotch and Norway
pine, Colorado blue spruce, Black Hills
spruce, white pine, sagebrush, Pinon,
alligator, juniper, cedars, Monterey
cypress, Monterey pine, eucalyptus,
Carolina and Lombardy poplar, and
willows.
In designing the windbreak, the
width Of the strip of ground to be
allowed the windbreak may be figured
at from one and one-fourth to twice
the height of the trees; for instance,
a single row of trees SO feet high
should be allowed a strip of ground
from 81 to 100 feet wide.
In addition to the saving resulting
firm protecting crops, farmers may
count normally on a considerable d.
rect return from windbreaks in the
surplus wood available for construc-
ton purposes and fuel. The annual
growth may be figured as worth from
about 81 to $50 per acre per year, de-
pending on the kind of timber grown
and the climatic and soil conditions.

PUT ROADS IN
WILSON'S HANDS

WASHINGTON, Nov 19-Formal
announcement was made today that
the railroads of the United States have
decided that if any crisis should arise
to place their interests in the hands Of
President Wilson for Profession and
such disposition as he may deem neces-
sary to prevent interruption of trans
portation during the war.
The four railroad brotherhoods who
have made demands for increased
wages have agreed to mediation of the
dispute and have refused an uncon-
diitional submission Of the question to
board of arbitration.
Today's announcement by the rail-
road war board is regarded by officials
as eliminating the possibility of a
strike by giving the president a free
hand so far as the railroads are con-
cerned when he meets the brotherhood
leaders in conference here next Thurs
day.

URGES SECOND
MEATLESS DAY

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 19-The' In
diana fuel administration today rec
commended the observance Of a meat
less Friday in addition to meatless
Tuesday.
DIR. Barnard, state food administra-
tor who attended a conference with
Herbert Hoover, national food direc-
tor last week, today said the sttua-
ton is much worse than is generally
realized.
He declared that efforts to save
more wheat, meat, sugar and animal
fats must be made. The following
program was recommended.
Meatless Tuesday; meatless Friday;
wheatless Wednesday,; no bacon at
breakfast any day; one wheatless
meal each day; use less sugar; use
less animal fat.
DR.. Barnard also suggested that all
after-theatre luncheons and lunch
cons usually given after card parties
and entertainments be eliminated.
Defining meatless he said 1t meant no
beef, pork or mutton in any form.
