~vocate) when by blowing in the fall
we can secure the right compaction by
planting time. as we'll as conserved
moisture, and raise twice as much per
acre Even such crops as corn, sor-
ghum, potatoes, etc, do better on the
winter fallow, but since it is usually
impossible to pillow all the land in the
fall, the former two are usually
planted on the spring fallow, for they
will flourish in a seed bed which is
not nearly compact enough for small
grain. When land that has been
plowed deep has not attained the right
degree of compaction II contains too
much air in contact with the roots
which naturally has a drying effect.
and the soil being loose. the grains of
dirt are too far apart for the size of
the root hairs, which obtain their
moisture by forcing themselves with
considerable pressure between the
granules, enabling them to wipe the
film off. 1t is highly probable that the
crops which can do better than some
others with a less amount of compac-
ton are those which possess a coarser
root system. The whole problem of
dry farming hinges largely on the
subject of roots. and deep blowing
with the proper compaction has such
a profound effect on the yield because
1t affords more dirt for the roots to
exploit for plant food, 1t catches and
holds large quantities of water, IL Of
fers easy and quick penetration for
the roots to establish themselves at
depth away from the heat and drouth
and 1t mulches the subsoil, keeping 1t
cool and damp, so that the roots can
go down.
In dry farming, unless the roots OF
the crop are deep down in the subsoil
the results will be very disappointing
The farmers of the humid eastern
states have never had to bother their
heads about the relations of seeded
and subsoil, and may still imagine
that a crop is made off the plowed top
soil. Dry farming has shown some
thing quite different. In the subsoi
underneath deep blowing where mois
T ture has beer conserved, the roots o
I winter wheat have been found at
depth of seven feet, rye and sprini
grain at four feet and corn as deep al
ten feet. There are crops u pota

rooted in seven feet can never dry
out. This is the secret of raising
crops (as is actually done In some OF
our states) on conserved moisture,
without any precipitation during the
growing season. We have heard some
agriculturists offer the opinion that
deep blowing is good for some crops
and not for others; but they are alto
gether at a loss to prove what the
others are, for everything responds 10
deep blowing which affords them more
soil, more plant food and more mois-
ture. The more we feed a plant the
more It grows; the more corn we give
a hog the fatter he becomes. III we
want good crops and good stock we
lave to feed them; anything to the
contrary Is nonsense.
We have received communications
from men who claimed that deep
blowing ruined their land. When we
came to investigate we found that they
were trying to farm on gopher clay

one of the most remarkable roma lces the world of invention and nanuf;. C. ture has ever known. As young man he was spinner in Yorkshire, had mastered his trade and owned some mills. One day, when in London, he came across a heap of silk waste mixed up with dirty rope ends, leaves and sticks, all knotted together.
 What is that?" he asked.
 "Oh. simply rubbish It is impossi- ble to do anything with it." was the reply.
 But the trained young spinner of Yorkshire knew better. He bought the great heap of waste at a halfpenny q pound and was laughed at
 For nearly ten years all the profit from his mills went into experimental machinery for the utilization of this waste. Then came the startling am nouncement that he had produced a machine which, at small cost, turned ,he waste rubbish into beautiful tap rics. The result is that today waste silk pours into the great Manning ham mills from all parts Of the world, to come forth worth hundreds of thou sands of pounds.

TRAILERS SOLVE BIB
 PROBLEM IN HAULING

The problem of transporting baled Commodities such as alfalfa, straw and hay has of late years been a perplex- Ing one because of the great increase tn the cost of horse upkeep.
 c. W. Hartranft local distributor of Utility uaIlers who has just returned from the coast. says:
 The Advance Truck company of Los Angeles has demonstrated that motor trucks trailerized- present a per manent solution 10 the transportation of ealed stock. This is proven by the instance Of straw from Beverly Hills. California 10 Los Angeles The Ad- vance Truck company operates a fleet Of more than d dozen Pierce Arrow trucks and uses in connection with each heay duty foUr-wheel Utility trailer.
 On their larger trucks they were able 10 load 53 bales of bean straw and on the traIers in connection. 90 bales. making a total of 113 bales to each unit. In other words. they were ab1e to transport approximately nine tons with very little increase in fueI .o1- sum ption. The crop was transported from the fields several times quicker than would have been possible with a lke number of horse drawn wagons. and the saving in labor was enormous
 In many cases it has been found practical to attach two four-wheel trailers to each truck where no steep grade are encountered. Needless to say the Advance Truck company of uclals are very enthusiastic over the performance of their trailerized Pierce arrow trucks and have made. possible eneaper transportation with resultant bigger profits.

 We know that the rocks and ruts and excessive heat in this country makes it q difficult job to turn out repair work of the right sort-that is. repair work that will stand up.

We will put our guar antee in writing to show our good faith.
 Tn making repairs we do not melt down the tread, leaving it flat like a smooth tread tire. We rebuild the tread whether it is chain or diamond or horse shoe or whatever non- skid type it may be. Many people do not favor repairing blown out and cut up tires because, they say, they look all patched up when the job is done. Most of our work is done in such a way that it is scarcely noticeable.

MEANS DEATH OF GRAMMAR
New Rule Which Has Abolished For
NAL and Elaborate English Style
of Former Days.

English as commonly written today
certainly seems to have lost the purity
and strength that it had century ago,
observes the Spokane Spokesman Re-
view. Then such masters of the lam
guage as Cobbe, Coleridge, DeQuincey
or Hazlitt were journalists as well as
poets or eSsayists. and their leading
articles lost nothing of effect on the
public from being literature.
The arrival of the age of steam, cleo
tricity and cheap postage was followed
by change, not for the better, in the
popular style of speaking and writing.
Say what you have to say as briefly
and quickly as possible, and don't
bother about fineness of expression"
became the general rule and practice.
The new millions of readers demanded
that their reading be expressed in the
language of everyday speech. The
obligation of compressng conclusions
about important matters into 1000
words. or fewer, is death, in the end,
to style. The literary form favored is
in touch with the turned-up-trousers
fashion of wearing ones clothing. 1t
is free and easy and crammed with
linguistic atrocities. Plural subjects
are polygamousiy welded to singular
verbs. and Lindley Murray turns in his
grave on account of the death of gram.
