Nearly every farmer whom have
seen is getting his land in good con-
dition before he plants. The old
rows are being disced down and the
land double disced across the rows.
Ample discing before breaking cuts
IN all the stalks and trash. 1t also
pulverizes the surface that the win
ter rains have baked and cemented
and prevents the formation of large
clods while breaking. Land that. is
well disced before breaking elimina-
ties stalks and other vegetation that
might interfere with further cultiva-
ton.
Farmers are doing sufficient disc
ing and narrowing after breaking to
put their land in good condition for
planting. The idea is to well pulver-
fze the seed bed and the farmers
are doing whatever is necessary to
get the right kind of a seed bed.
Some soils might be ready to plant
merely by narrowing, others might
require disc and harrow, and still
others might require the application
of disc, roller and harrow several
times. | found one farmer last week
who had disced the third time and
was going to harrow the ground be-
fore planting.
Most Of the farmers are planting
with a two row planter. This is a
great labor saver and should be used
everywhere it can. The two row
planter gives the rows uniform width
and this makes cultivation easier, be-
cause cultivators can be adjusted 20
fit the rows. The two row planter
cannot be used in short rough fields.

sickness and these attacks is, Of
course, still further to weaken a peO-
pie already very greatly enfeebled.
Another effect of the prevailing
nervousness is naturally to make peo-
pie far more irritable than usual and
the physical weakness combined with
the overweight state Of their nerves
also makes them disinclined for effort
or exertion. Religion, it is significant,
seems to have lost all influence over
them. Not only have adults become
careless and Indifferent with regard to
morality, as is proved by the grave in
creases of certain diseases, with which
the medical authorities no longer know
how to cope, but the condition of the
children in the cities and towns, par
ticularly of Austria, is distressing be-
yond words. For example, the number
of offenses against the law committed
by children and young persons under
eighteen in Vienna alone was, in 1913,
1885, but in 1917, 14,029-a nearly 7S

Want Old Fort Preserved.

There is movement afoot for the
preservation of Fort Wilkins at Cop
per Harbor, almost on the tip of the
Keweenaw peninsula. which juts out
into Lake Superior, toward the Cana
dian shore, so miles. Fort Wilkins, es-
tablished in the forties by the federal
government, was one Of the northern
most of the United States army posts.
It is located on Lake Fanny Hoey,
stones throw from the shore of Lake
Superior. There remain several of the
old barracks and officers quarters, and
remnants Of the old stockade of point
ed cedar poles can be seen. The Ke-
weenaw Historical society is back OF
the movement to preserve the fort.
