CORNER OF COURT
 HOUSE NEARLY TUMBLES

The beautiful structure standing in court square which was erected A. D. 1911, and which is called the temple ot justice for short, has decided to settle down instead of up and the fruit of the decision is all too evident as will be seen by the appearance of the East corner which houses the of flee of the circuit clerk. There can be seen three gaping cracks extending back to the windows on each side, the cracks having been seen by one of the officials a few days ago, but being small, nothing was thought of them until yesterday when the entire cor ner began to sink and the cracked places opening about an inch, both in- side the building and out. To keep the entire corner from tumbling down. large poles were propped and braced up against the corner which will probably hold the situation, but it is believed that the entire corner will have to be torn away and rebuilt
 Some say that the cause of the cracking of the wall is the extremely dry weather and that the foundation

Springfield, Mo-, Oct. 3.-According to reports from farmers along the White River division of the Missouri Pacific railroad, shipments of canned tomatoes indicates one of the largest harvests in years. The crop will not be harvested for some time yet, it is stated.

 The canning season started a month ago, and has been rapidly progressing ever since Recent rains have retard- ed the crop somewhat, but for the most part optimism for one of the largest crops in history, is expressed

URGES NEED OF PLANTING
SPRUCE;

Minnesota can and should care for
its future newspaper supplies by plant
ing suitable land with the spruces and
especially with white spruce, says W.
H. Kenety Of he Cloauet Forest Ex-
pertinent Station.
White spruce, adds Mr.. Kenety, has
the best fibre and in Minnesota it
makes a rapid growth reaching dia'
meter of six inches in % years. A
fully stocked plantation in the region
Of Cloquet will give an annual yield
Of so cords Of pulpwood to the acre in
40 Or so years. 49,,
This is better than can be done in
other states. In the east and in Can
ada paintings are being made both by
states and provinces and by big paper
companies.
Minnesota has much state land a.
dapted to the growing of spruce and
Mr.. Kenety believes publishers and
papers manufacturers should unite in
demanding that the state devote it's
suitable state lands to the production
of spruce, adopting such tax reforms
and other measures as will make it
possible for private individuals or
companies to practice forestry on their
own lands, thus supplementing the
work on state lands

POTATO CULTIVATION A PATRI
OTTO DUTY


The careful cultivation of potatoes
this year is sign of patriotism as
well as of good management. In cul-
tivating potatoes the first time after
they are up, the cultivator should be run
as deep and as close to the row as pos
sible and little dirt should be thrown
into the row to cover the weeds, says
Minnesota agricultural extension bull
letin No. 49,. It is important to run
the cultivator deep at this time be-
cause it is the last opportunity for a
deep, thorough loosening of the soil.
A little damage from root pruning
results from cultivating 80 deep and
close, but the benefit is so great as to
far outweigh injury. Sometimes the
I'd cultivation is also made deep, but
this should not be done unless it follows
within a week after the first. Under
any other conditions it should be shall
low. As the root system develops, the
injury that may result from heavy
pruning increases and may considerable
exceed the benefit Of cultivation.
With each additional cultivation it be-
comes more and more important to
avoid root pruning. Usually the cul-
tivator may safely be run to depth
Of two and one-hanf or three inches
during the second and subsequent cul-
tivation.
Potatoes should always be cultivated
at least four times after they are up
and six times is better.

Third-The government should lay

much as to their advantage, because

CULTIVATION WILL DESTROY
CUTWORMS

The planting Of corn on sod land
should be deferred until about June l,

walton in order to destroy cutworms,
says A. D. Wilson, chairman of the
state committee on food production and
conservation.
The loss from cutworms is sometimes
very great and little extra care in
preparing the seed bed on old sod land
is likely to be we'll repaid.
If, however, damage is noticeable in
small areas, the use Of poison bait is
likely to lessen the loss. The best bait
is made Of sh,rts so pounds, Paris
green l pound, molasses / gallon, and
water ~ gallons, for each acre. If
the cutworms are working in damp
places, bran may be substituted for the
shorts. If bran is substituted for
shorts, twice as much water is required.

STAPLE CROPS ARE GREAT NEED
NOW

The great need in crop production at
this time, say those who are familiar
with the world g food crisis, is in non
perishable foodstuffs, crops that enter
into world trade and may be shipped or
stored without danger of damage.
These include especially the grains.
Next to these come crops that may be
stored for winters use or may be can
ned, preserved, or dried. Among these
are potatoes and other root crops, also
pease, beans, corn and the various
fruits.
Those who are planting gardens this
year should keep these facts in mind,
says A. D. Wilson, chairman Of the
state committee on food production
and conservation.

A Minneapolis woman who is visit
ing in Washington writes to the Jour-
nal that she heard Vice President Mar
shall make the address of welcome
when the Balfour party visited the
senate, and that it was much better
than she would have given him credit
for, but that perhaps she had taken
the newspaper estimate of him. AS a
matter Of fact Vice President Marshall
is one of the ablest and greatest of
American statesmen. Because it is
customary to joke about the vice presi-
dent-in our judgment a mistake,
since there is always a possible presi-
dent in that office and because it is
also customary to enlarge on the ac-
.tivities and doings of the chief execu-
tive, and further because the press Of
the large cities has devoted attention
to isolated remarks Of Mr.. Marshall
and has rarely been fair to him, we
suppose there is an impression that he
is mediocre Indiana politician. The
truth is that intellectually the vice
president is the peer Of any man in
the senate, and that he is one Of the
greatest vice presidents the country
has ever had, and while God forbid
that anything should happen to the
present chief magistrate, if such ca
lamity should occur, the nation would
be safe with his successor. Few peo-
pie doubtless have fead the address
made by Vice President Marshall when
he was sworn in last March, yet we do
not recall in the history Of the coun-
try, certainly not within a great many
years, an address made by any vice
president which could. approach it in
sound statement Of American princi-
pies, lofty patriotism and high ideals,
and permeated with common sense. IT
was fit for presidential inaugural.

mistake about that.

in so doing and unwise, since the draft

Is simply the method the nation has

although there were plenty Of people
who preferred complete tryout of the

ever, now that the matter is settled
for the period Of the present conflict at
