100 Acres Ready For Oats

MT. Joe Cook came in from his Garland Prairie ranch Tues day to attend the meeting of the Tusayan Cattle Growers Association, and stayed over Wednesday. MT. Cook it will be remembered, is successor to Ed Hamilton on the old Kay ranch. He has one hundred acres of good land plowed and ready to seed to oats, and ex- poets to have his oats all plant ed by the end of next week. The ground is so we'll saturated that a big yield is assured. MT. Cook will plant ten acres to spuds, also. The high price of potatoes does not worry him because he laid in his seed be- fore the price began to rise.

GARDEN CULTIVATION
Never Permit Soil to Become
 Baked or to Form a Crust

The importance of thorough and continuous cultivation in the home vegetable garden is pointed out in a New Farmers Bulletin of the United States Department of Agriculture, No. SIS, "The Small Vegetable Garden" After the seeds have sprouted or after the plants have been set in their perman- ent location, continued cultiva- tion becomes necessary.
 The gardener should never permit the surface of the soil to become baked or even to form an appreciable crust. Con- stant stirring with hand tools or a wheel cultivator should be practiced between the rows and about the plants. Such a stirring permits the air to pene- trate the soil, where it facili- tates chemical action and bac- terial activity, destroys weeds which otherwise would ultiize large amounts of plant food, and, finally, conserves the moisture supply. The rake is perhaps the gardeners most valuable tool in cultivating. This can be passed backward and forward over the ground until it is in an open, mellow condition. Where vegetables grow closely in the rows it often will be necessary to sup plement the cultivation by hand wedding. Small implements are made for this purpose, and may be purchased cheaply. It is well also in some cases to pull up weeds by hand, especially where they grow closely about the stalks of the garden plants.

 Just as the gardener should be careful in early spring not

LOCO CAUSES TROUBLE

Loco is also doing much dam age this spring. Feed is scarce, the loco weeds are early com- ing and very abundant in many places. Several farmers have reported damage to cattle and especially to horses from this weed. Every community aflict- ed with this weed would great ly profit by community CO., operation in it's eradication. If this is not done, or if in some way the obnoxious weeds are not cut out, there will be more and more of them each year.

to dig the ground when the soil is too moist, so he should be careful later in the season not to cultivate too soon after rains. The stirring of very muddy soil "puddles" it into a com pact, cemet-like mass in which the plant food is securely lock ed. The garden will require attention, however, as soon as the excess moisture from a rain has soaked in or partially evaporated. Unless the ground is stirred at this time a crust will form almost inevitably. Such a crust, besides restricting the plants, prevents the access of air, and also facilitates the loss of moisture through evapo- ration.
 Irrigation
 
 When during prolonged dry spells, the plants give evidence of suffering because of the lack of moisture, water must, if pos sible, be supplied artificially. Where supply of piped water is at hand, perhaps the most usual method of irrigation is by sprinkling with a hose. If sprinkling is practiced it should be done late in the afternoon. It is not sufficient merely to dampen the surface; thorough wetting should be given. A more satisfactory and more economical method of irriga- ton, however, is to open small furrows between the rows of growing plants and to supply water in these ditches from a hose or pipe. Several hours after the water has soaked in, the dry earth should be drawn back into place.

STOMACH SUFFERERS
Says Indigestion Comes From an Ex-
cess Of Hydrochlorie Acid.

A well-known authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion is
nearly always due to acidity--acid
stomach-and not, as most folks be-
lieve, from a lack Of digestive juices.
He states that an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach retards
digestion and starts food fermenta-
ton, then our meals sour like garbage
in a can. forming acrid fluids and
gases which initiate the stomach like
a toy balloon. We then get that heavy
lumpy feeling in the chest, We eruc-
tate sour food, belch gas, or have
heartburn, flatulence, water brash or
nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in glass of
water before breakfast while it is eff
fervescing, and furthermore. to con-
tinue this for one week. While relief
follows the first dose. 1t is important
to neutralize the acidity, remove the
sas.making mass, start the liver, slim
ulate the kidneys and thus promote a
free flow OF pure digestive juices.
lad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid Of grapes and lemon
Juice, combined with lithia and So
dunn phosphate. This harmless salts
is used by thousands of people for
