appointment he met with last primar-
les didn't cause him to throw all that
dirt onto Benton county in front of his
place and as it is mighty fine dirt
he may fresno it back onto the land
from which it was blown.
When starting the P. S. it was not
our intention to try to make any pub
lie official lose his position, but there
is one who is a pioneer and good fell
low-gone wrong that we must men
ton. His name is Al. /. Smith, who
several years ago took the job of
making the weather for this section
and the weather has been badly out of
line and topsy turvy most of the time
since. At first we tried to defend him
when people were kicking on his wea-
Their by saying he hadn't been used
to that kind of work and would do bet
ter when he had more Experience. He
seems to have specialized on break
ing records and bad ones at that. He
imported a dust storm in January
when we had snow on the ground and
everybody could see the dust didn't
belong to us and men up and down
the river who had fine land for corn,
spuds, alfal. and so on-he has caused
them to summer fallow with carp.
There is only one man in the country
that can do anything with Al. He is
]. ]. Rudkin. When they have a break
in the ditch ]. ]. gets AL. to turn on
q batch of rain, so people won't be
so nervous while they are fixing the
ditch. But after all AL. has done bet
ter than most of other weather men
even ones nearby, who now have snow
piled up where the gardens should be
growing. Our opinion is that the
weather men in trying to keep up
with the general gait Of the country
have got the seasons misplaced.
We believe this matter should be
taken up at Washington, D. c., and all
Of the weather men transferred to
some other department for about two
years and give the weather a chance
to readjust itself. They could hoe the
Xtra gardens that are being planted
now ard harvest same in fall. n win
ter could shovel snow where worst
blockades are. This would give them
actual weather experience that would
make them careful when they went
back to the old job. G. b.

Save Your Straw

Farmer, spare that straw
stack! Three dollars worth of
plant food goes up in smoke ev-
cry time a ton OF straw is burn
ed" declares R. /. Throckmor-
ton, associate professor of ag-
ronomy in the Kansas State Ag-
ricultural college. Many Kan
sas farmers are overlooking the
chief by-product of the farm.
The soils iu Kansas are be-
coming deficient rapidly in or
ganic matter and straw is a
means of increasing that content
Wheat fields produce quantities
of available straw.
The best way to use straw is
10 bed stock with it. By this
method, the moisture content of
the manure is absorbed by the
straw. What straw cannot be
used in this manner can be APP
piled as a surface dressing TO
the soil in the late fall or winter
months. Straw should be scat.
tered with uniform thickness at
the rate of one ton per acre.
The surface dressing acts as, a
soil mulch and thus prevents
loss of water during rains. 1t
also aids in holding the snow and
in preventing winteIkillipg.

PIow Deep and Earlv

Men of long experience in the
best m =thods of wheat raising
will be on the wheat committee
OF the Kansas council of defense
and those who wish to get seed
on the ffth.crop basis will be
required to use the best possible
care in preparing the seed bed,
assthere is no seed wheat to waste
on poor ground. The wheat
must be given a fair cbauce to
live.
Early and deep blowing will
satisfy itself that every effort
has been made to do this.
Where this is possible, dou Bile
dlsklng in July or early August
will be used, and blowing later
on A six-year demonstration
SHOWS an average of 22H busb-
els per acre WELD for early deep
plowing as against 1871 for late
shallow plowing.
1t has been demonstrated by
many years of practical exper-
renee that in Western Kansas.
where wheat stools freely, there
is no use of sowing bushel or
bnshel and half of seed per acre.
Half busbel makes exactly as
much wheat when sowed on we'll
prepared ground early in the fall
as bushel to two bushels late
in the fall.
There will be no high flown
theories or half baked ideas tried
out; just plain common sense
backed by long actual field ex-
peaience. If the seed supply
should be short, those who have
the ground in the best condition
will be given first chance at it.
