cattle paths in pastures often deepen
so that they need such treatment. In
other places it is necessary to plan to
sow sorghum to stop washing, but II
the gullies are more than foot deep
and two or three feet wide it is usually
better to use brush, according to the
University of Missouri College Of Ag-
riculture.
The brush dam gives better results
if straw is mixed with the brush to
help hold the dirt. Wherever the fall
is great enough to make the water cut
seriously it is likely to be necessary to
stake down the brush and straw so
that they will not be washed away;
The less busy winter time should be
used in active work to stop losses from
soil washing, and in planning next
seasons field work so that the fields
will be planted and cultivated across
slope or around hill. Then the rows
will not run straight down the slope
! and thereby furnish the steepest pos
sible channel for the run-of from
rains. Those who have such winter
cover crops as rye to hold the soil IN
place are fortunate, but those who dc
not should not fatter themselves that

B. F. BREWER CRUSHED
TO DEATH

Emil F. Breyer, manager of the
Meloy Motor Company, was instantly
killed shortly before IL o'clock yes
terday morning while assisting me-
chanics unload a car of Hudson auto
mobiles at the Arizona Eastern
freight depot. Mr.. Breyer was well
known in this city and he was admired
by all who knew him, and his death
comes as a shock to the entire COM
munity on account of the deceased's
popularity and the sad incidents sur
rounding the accident.
The Meloy Motor Co. received a
shipment of Hudson automobiles yes
terday and Mr.. Breyer, d. l.. Meloy
and Lawrence Meloy went to the A. E.
! freight depot to unload the machines.
Three touring cars make up ship
ment and in order to pack three ma
chimes in one car it is necessary to
raise the front end of one machine
and allow the tonneau of another to
slide under it. Two cars had been re-
moved and they were removing the
blocking from the last car when the
chain by which it was supported gave
way, crushing Mr.. Breyer beneath it..
1.-The front wheels had been removed
from the suspended car, in order to
give more clearance and the entire
weight of the engine crushed MIR.
Breyer as it fell.
The chain blocks by which the car
was suspended had been in use by the
Meloy Motor Co. for some time and
was thought sufficiently strong to
carry the weight of the machine. The
swivel at the base of the chain blocks
gave way at the critical moment, re-
sulting in Mr.. Breyer's death.
The front end Of the car was sus-
pended in the air for about Ave feet;
d. L. Meloy and Lawrence Meloy had
lust walked from under the car and II
. the accident had occurred few min
utes sooner the three men might have
been seriously injured. The falling
car barely grazed Lawrence Meloy's
: arms as it crashed to the floor. BY

two sons lifted the car from Mr.. Brey.

POULTRY SHOWS RESULTS
OF GOOD BREEDING

More than $4,000 eggs were produc-
ed on the poultry farm of the Univer-
sity of Missouri College of Agricul-
ture in the last year. Reckoning the
entire flock, the average per hen is
about $50 eggs. This doesn't sound
SO prolific when you recall stories ot
2O0-egg hens and better, yet $50 eggs
a year is nearly twice the production
in the average farm flock and ninety
eggs more than the average for the
United States according to the last
census. If it were not for the fact
that a certain proportion of the flock
is kept for experimental work and
that some of the uncommon varieties
are kept for student judging work,
the flock average would probably run
close to 160 eggs.
The strain of Single Comb White
Leghorns on the University farm is
ons of the best in the United States.
The production of these birds is eX-
cellcd at one experiment station only
This is at Oregon where Prof. James
Dryden has developed an exceptional
| ly high producing strain. During this
| past year over ten per cent of the
University Leghorns have produced
| two hundred eggs or more. One indi,
vidual registered 226 eggs. Another
has laid 225 to date and has until
December Is to complete her pullst
year. One pen of eighty White Leg.
horns has averaged more than III
eggs apiece.
Perhaps the most remarkable pro
lduction ever recorded on the Univer
sity farm is that of this present sea
sons Leghorn pullets. From Angus
| 1 until November Is flock of eight!
March and April Matched pullets hai
averaged 4S eggs apiece. On indi
vidual has produced 10 eggs in thi
period. One pullet began laying OIL
July a at the age of four months an
seven days, which is record for earl,
maturity.
The high producing strain of Leg
horns on the University farm is tn
result of nine years constant selee
ton and breeding by Prof. ii. L
Kempster, chairman of the poultry de
partment. Prof. Kempster believe
that his birds have reached a poin
. in high egg production where mum
Der of different family lines can b
established and that production mex
year will be higher than ever before,

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

A st. Francois county editor has
requested information relative to the
results obtained under the new Com
pulsory Attendance Law in this coun-
ty. The County Superintendent be-
lieves that the answer to this question
will prove of general interest, and IS,
therefore, giving it here.
The Compulsory Attendance Law
has worked admirably here. Its sue
cessful enforcement is largely due to
the ability and untiring efforts OF our
County Attendance Officer, Judge Il.
C. Tucker. Reports from all over the
county indicate that the attendance
this year is much better than ever be-
fore, and that greater enrolment
has been reached. The County Super
intendent has noticed that some pupils
over the age of thirteen years have
been forced into school this year who
had never before attended school.
Teachers report that these pupils are
taking a deep interest in their work
and are progressing rapidly. Reports
are coming in every day from DIS
tricts all over the county, most OF
which report absolutely no dellnqu, IS.
1t might be explained in this con, &
ton that where a pupil misses Tor
lust one or two days, or even Tor a
longer period, that teachers are IN
structed not to report them as delln-
ouent where said teachers are salts
fed that said pupils aer out for good
and lawful reasons. However, not
| MANY lawful reasons exist. Said law
ful reasons are three in number, and
are pointed out as follows:
"a Completion of the common
school course.
(2) Physical inability t. sttend.
81 Mental incapaclty.
Missouri undoubtedly now has one
of the best compulsory attendance
laws in the United States. 1t was not
fully realized how good it was until it
was seen how well it worked. 1t will,
and is proving a godsend to the chill
dren of Missouri.
The statement is repeated that it is
working almost perfectly in st. Fran
co.'s county, and the County Superin-
tendent will appreciate information
land will hold it, if desired, in strict
confdence) from any person knowing
of violations of the attendance law. 1t
will be realized and appreciated that
it is impossible for him and for the
Attendance Officer to enforce the Law
perfectly, unless violations of same
are brought to attention.
The County Superintendent is gla(
to thus answer the question of th(
editor and respectfully invites ques
ltions not only from editors, but from
all the people regarding the publi
schools, and will gladly answer then
r through this column, or by persona
letter. Such questions, or any ques
tons relating to the schools, are en-
couraging and they betoken a com
G mendable interest on the part Of tn
people.

DUMP BRUSH AND
STRAW INTO bitches

Brush and straw piles that will be
in the way next spring should be
hauled away and used to stop soil
washing. Aside from using straw as
bedding for live stock, or spreading it
over fields, this is perhaps the best
use to make of it. Everyone has seen
enormous gullies cut in single season
and years spent in trying to undo the
mischief. The moral is, stop the wash
ing while the ditch is small.
Small gullies that have just start
ed in corn fields or wheat fields or ev-
en- pastures and meadows may often
be stopped with little straw. Even
