after MANY YEARS
BODY OF MAN FOUND IN A HOI-
LOW TREE.

Slayton, Mimi, July "A report
has been brought here of a most
startling discovery which was made
q few days ago by wood choppers on
the farm of Edward Gleek, near Lee
Sueur. A giant white oak tree was
cut down in the course of clearing
a piece of land on the Gleek farm,
and i'm the hollow of this tree was
found the mummified body of Jean
LaRue, who was a farmland on the
place in 1852 and who disappeared
on August 10 that year.
Soldiers who were chasing the In
dams at that time so frightened La
Rue, Mr.. Gleek says, that the man
came running to the house and Sc
cured his gun and over 500 In
money and fled. 1t is now believed
that he went to the hollow tree and
became fastened there and died. Ii
the trunk of the tree was found La
Rue's rifle and a wallet containing
ls783.50 in money.
A diary which LaRue carried con.
tanned a notation under date of Aug
%, 1862, that he had become fasten
ed in the tree, and If ever found tC
send his belongings to his mother a.
Tarascon, France. Mr.. Gleek viii
make efforts at once through tn,
consul at Marseilles TO locate rela
tives of the man.

NEW CITRUS PACKING
PLANT AT IMPERIAL

This years grapefruit crop, which,
from present indications, promises to
be four times as large as that tof last
year, will be handled through new
citrus packing plant, which will be
built in Imperial by J. w. Reed. Mr.
Reed is now in Los Angeles arrang-
ing for the plans.
The plant will cover 100x120 feet
of floor space and will cost close to
$4,000.
Grapefruit picking will begin here
about November /. The first car.
load will probably be shipped around
Thanksgiving day.
Steve Dolan, who packed last years
crop, estimates that between 20 anc

RED CROSS WILL
LAUNCE DRIVE
IN NOVEMBER

Washington, May 29.-An appeal
to the American people for funds to
carry on the work of their Ameri-
can Red Cross will be made next No
vember, according to the following
statement issued today by DR.. Liv
ingston Farrand, chairman of the
Central committee Of the organiza
tion.
APPALLING conditions in the coun-
tries of eastern Europe, imposing on
the American Red Cross obligations
additional to those assumed during
the period of the world war, and the
continuance of activities in connec-
ton with the already outlined domes-
tic program of the Red Cross, make
necessary an appeal to the people OF
America for further funds to carry
on the work for the relief of human
ity.
at has been decided to make this
appeal in the autumn, in a period OF
two weeks eliminating on the elev-
enth of November, the anniversary OF
the signing of the armistice-a sea-
son when the American people may
properly give manifestation, through
contributions to their Red Cross, of
their thankfulness for deliverance
from added horrors of war which have
fallen upon nations less fortunate.
"At present the American Red
Cross is bringing to a close its ac-
tivities in the countries of western
Europe, and with the withdrawal OF
American troops from the. war zone
its work for the army abroad VIII
end automatically. Disease and suf-
! fering of the NEST heart-rending
| character, however, are calling for
relief in other fields. The new inter-
national organization of Red Cross
societies is preparing to deal with
relief and health problems through
out the world in future years, but
| there are immediate emergencies
which REQUIRE the aid of the agencies
already establishd. Foremost among
these agencies is the American Red
Cross.
At present emergencies are being
met with all the resources available
but it is apparent that the impera-
tive calls for assistance for the next
.. year or more will make additiona
funds necessary.
. at is anticipated that the gener.
Gus heart of the American people viii
respond to the appeal to the full ex.
tent of the needs that will present
themselves"

TO RESTORE OUR CLAY SOILS.


Successful crop farming depends
to large degree upon proper soil
management. To produce profitable
yields demands an understanding
of the properties and characteris-
tics of the soil. AS the larger por-
ton of the farm lands of this sec
ton is found to be clay. this topic
will be devoted entirely to dis
cusSion of the clay soils.
Clay soils are those which have
high percentage of finely divided
particles. They absorb large
amounts of water and remain Sus-
pended in water for long time.
Clay soils, when worked when too
wet, become puddlcd; then proper
drainage cannot take place, and the
accumulated surface water must be
removed by the slow process of
evaporation. If worked when too
wet, they shrink as they dry and be-
come baked and hard and are
worked with the greatest difficulty.
Thorough cultivation, the addi-
ton Of organic matter, and applica-
ton of lime are the methods of re-
"NSihS 'iS uiliiSuitS Vi ildTu tlllaRc
and are the most advisable WAYS of
increasing yields.
Organic matter as supplied BY
Stubblc, sods, and manure, tends to
loosen the soil making it more re-
tentive of moisture and more fer
Tile. With these increases the plant
will find less difficulty in sending
forth its root system and in gather
ing the essential elements of plant
food.
Lime added 10 lnc soil, aids the
removal OF excess moisture. makes
the SOIL more pOruS, and Overcomcs
soil acidity. From chemical
standpoint the decomposition OF or
sanic matter, and the plant growth
IN The soil produces weak acids
which act upon the minerals in re-
leasing the plant food. When these
acids become abundant the soil be-
comes sour and lime is required
to countcract the acidity. Acid
soils prevent the operation of the
minute organisms which take nitro
gen from the air and make if con-
vcrtible to plants.
With the addition of lime and Or
ganic matter cultivation will be an
easier process, weeds less album
dant, and yields higher.
