down for 4 good seed bed. The land
may be broken deeper-fiye or six in
ches-and the disc harrow used to
make a seed bed. but such deep break
ing requires much power in heavy sod.
Deep first plowing or breaking is
adapted to land having light sod from
which timber has been cleared. A
very generally followed practice, after
the first plowing or breaking, is to
plow little deeper at each succeeding
time until the ordinary depth of about
SIX or seven inches is reached. A
very bad practice noticed in the grain
regions is to plow at the same depth
year after year. The repeated plow-
ing at the same depth tends to pack
the soil just below the furrow slice
until moisture will not enter Is read
lily as is should. nor can the roots of
crops penetrate satisfactorily. Many
old fields that have shown diminished
yields. especially in localities where
the soil is deep, would be greatly re-
Juvenated by occasionally plowing
two or more inches deeper than usual
~'Shs w SCh AubNu&S. Al tAC 0Ok 0k
beet districts the depth of plowing is
gradually increased to twelve to four
teen inches for best results. In many
Instances it would undoubtedly be
much easier and less expensive for
farmers to plow up a new farm than
to leave the one they have simply
skinned, to homestead or buy a new
one. The why of tillage subsequent
to blowing is attended with as many
conditions as the plowing. The i'm
plements must be selected and oper-
ated with a view to getting a maxi
mum yield of crops with the mini
mum of work. If the land has been
plowed considerable time previous
to seeding, the operation may be quite
different than if the land had only
just been plowed. Ordinarily fall
plowing can be put in excellent con-
dition in the spring with the ordinary
tooth harrow. The h arr o "
should be used just as soon as the soil
can be worked in the spring if it is
desirable to retain moisture. If the
moisture is likely to be excessive at
seeding time and there is not an early
growth of weeds to be destroyed the
narrowing may be left until just pre-
vious to seeding, as the rough land
dries more rapidly.

ARMY CAMPS TO BE SANITARY

Surgeon General William G. Gorgas
OF the army stands at the head of his
profession. Professionally he is we'll
known in London, Paris and Berlin as
he is in Washington. This fact gives
additional weight to the following
statement which he has just issued: :
I'VE intend to make our new mill
tary cantonments as safe as science
can make them.
"A million men-as sound of mind
and body as we can choose out of the
nations youth will soon be moving in
to camps and barracks under govern
ment supervision.
I'VE want the soldiers folks at
home to feel that he is going to stay
sound, that he is not going to sicken
in camp without the privilege of
striking a blow for his country. This
is not mere sentiment. It is good
economies.
1.-THE rule of our medical force in
each cantonment will be watch. watch,
watch Just As we are keeping
liquor and vice as far as possible
away from our new troops, so, too, we
must declare mo admittance" to all
germs which of old wrought havoc
with the armies"
1t is evident that General Gorgas
intends to prevent repitition of our
experience in the Spanish-American
war, when for every man killed in bat
tie we lost ten through death from
disease.

MANS LIVER USED
AS COURT EXHIBIT

st. Louis, Dec. 4-The liver Of
Joseph C. Campbell, San Francisco
lawyer, who died July 1, 1915, was
filed as an exhibit for the plaintiff in
Judge Shields court in the suit OF his
widow against the Aetna Life lnsur-
ance company of Hartford, Conn. for
$4,000 on an accident policy. The
liver is in alcohol, in glass Jar.
Campbell slipped while playing golf
June 16, 1915, and according to the
contention made in the suit, his liver
was ruptured. A diseased condition
had previously existed in. the liver,
and the accident is held to have ag.
gravated this condition. causing
death. The liver is held to prove this
contention. The insurance company
is attacking the jurisdiction of the To-
cal court in the case.
Under the rule that exhibits in a
case must remain in the custody OF
the court, the liver will have to be
added to the permanent store Of such
articles in the court house. A human
skeleton, which was an exhibit in a
will suit, has been in this collection
several years.

Tama, Dec. 5.-The Tama CONNER
cial club has decided to conserve the
money that would be necessary to
keep the pace set by Tama in the last
two years in decorating the streets
fer Christmas. Money is so badly
needed for SO many other uses that
the members of the club decided to
rest on her laurels in this respect for
this year at least but committees
were appointed to look after the
usual Christmas cheer for the needy
of the city. Contributions will be ac-
copied by the club and expended by
them to buy useful clothing for the
poor children and Christmas dinners
for worthy families and the usual pro.
gram on Christmas eve when every
child will receive a token from Santa
Claus.
Tama enjoyed very wide publicity
on account of the beauty of her
Christmas decorations for the last
two years but this is the time to give
the boys at the front the benefit OF
every effort.

Des Moines, Dec. Iowa needs
fifty additional cheese factories to

Iowa distributors. This is the state

missioner w. B. Barney in his annual
statement to Governor Harding.
There are twenty-four cheese fac
tories in the state and three milk con-
denseries. With the. scarcity of meat
and the efforts being made to con-
serve meat more cheese is being con-
sumed than under normal conditions
The make of creamery butter for
the year ending July 1, was 94,269,685
pounds, which is about 5000, 900
pounds less than the make last year
but larger than was expected in view
of the fact that the high cost of feed
as we'll as the high prices offered for
beef, has induced the sale of mahy
dairy COWS for beef. Commissioner
Barney declares, however, that of late
the selling of COWS has been checked
il not stopped altogether because of
the prices being paid for milk and
cream.

NEWTON QUOTED
BY ENGLISH PAPERS

: Cedar Rapids, Dec. 6.-The Rev:
Joseph Fort Newton's Impressions OF
America as given on his recent re-
turn to England from the United
States, are given considerable proml-
pence in an issue Of the London
Daily Mail. DR.. Newton. according to
the article in the MAIL has noticed
striking change in the sentiment TO-
ward England of all classes OF people
in this country since the united
States has entered into the war. Dr.
Newton declared that there was .
much more kindly and friendly spirit:
a wish to cooperate and to bury all
old prejudices, whatever they might
have been, to stand shoulder TO
shoulder and work together to the
end. He said that people in the
United States realize that the Anglo.
Saxon people must stand together ana
see that the decencies OF life are OBJ
served after the war. The Daily
Mail quotes DR.. Newton in part as
follows:
"People over here must not think
that Americans imagine they are
coming over here under the impress
sion that they are going to finish up
the war. The Americans fully realize
all that they owe to the men who
have borne the brunt Of the war and
made supreme sacrifices for three
years.
In regard to the question of re-
prisals DR.. Newton has written as de-
claring that he thought America
would never hesitate as long as the
British government has done.
