!: Decorated.

Constantinople-Bla troops, many
of them Senegalese, have been used
by the French in their occupation of
shfs city. The Senegalese WEIR bright
green uniforms and red fezzes. Their

their cheeks and they usually wear
large rings in the ears.
A member of the Turkish foreign
office who was educated at a Euro
pean university, recently approached
& group of Senegalese soldiers near
the sublime porte and engaged them
in conversation, addressing them in
French.
~Just why did you come over here?"
be was asked.
1--WE came to bring civilization to
the Turks" the leader of the group
retorted haughtily.

(Spring Wheat Crop Improvement Service.)
The great Northwest should follow
the example Of Kansas. State inspec-
tors are sent around to examine the
growing fields and to locate seed
wheat growing so that the plants may
be taken into consideration.
1t is not always possible to Judge
of seed wheat merely by looking at it
after thrashing.
First, it should be the best variety,
Marquis preferred.
Second, it should be famed and
cleaned of trash and weed seeds.
Third. all smut and other fungous
diseases should be treated with for
maldehyde, float and skim method.
Fourth, several one-hundred kernel
samples should be selected from diff
ferent parts of the bins and tested in
wet blotting papers to see how strong
it will grow.
The weather is the greatest factor.
Of course, but attention to these de-
tails often means the difference be-
tween success and failure.

NEW cHANNEL.sWEEPER IDEA
: Claimed That Il viii 1e Of Vast I'm.
portance in the Maintenance
-- Of Barre Canals.

To aid In the maintenance of thu
New York state barge canal, channe
sweeper has been devised. not here
tofore demanded by the construction
Of the older canals. writes Gordon p
Gleason in Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. AS time goes on and the banks
disturbed by recent excavations as
sumo their natural slopes, the need Of
dredging will become less. Investiga
tions. however, show that within one
year sufficient material may be de
posted within the canal to make the
available depth Of water considera
bly, less than the prescribed IL feet
An example of this was found In the
channel east Of Oneida lake. This was
completed in a full 12-foot depth In
1909, yet, in 1917, it was so washed in
with sand that it was necessary to re.
move thousands Of cubic yards Of this
material.
TO aid in the locating of obstruc-
tions In the canal the state engineer
has designed a novel channel sweeper,
and boat builders have been asked to
submit estimates as to the cost of
these so that three of them may be
placed on the canal.
The new sweeper consists. Of two
boats, each Is feet long and 6 feet
wide. These are placed Is feet apart
and Joined by timbers. An operating
floor 30 feet long and feet wide will
be constructed near the stern, and
suspended from this will be 60-pound
rail, 80 feet long, held by two chains
at each end. .'..-~G

(Spring Wheat Crop Improvement Service)
About the usual amount Of fall
blowing will always be done. Farm
ers have long realized that fall plow-
ing for wheat is much more profitable
than spring blowing, for many rea.
sons. Wheat is the money crop Of
the Northwesta and regardless Of all
other kinds Of farming, wheat must be
paramount now and for years to come.
No matter what the crop, fall plow-
ing is best. The important thing is
to get as many acres plowed before
frost as possible which would not be
plowed under ordinary circumstances.
There is generally power enough in
every community, although like mon
ey, some people have surplus while
others have little or none.
Every farm bureau should take i'm
mediate steps to learn how much
blowing is likely to be sighted on
account of lack of facilities. There
ought to be a power club organized
which wilt agree to pillow this surplus
at a price which will compete with
horse blowing, and every tractor
should be used to its fullest capacity
with a night crew, if necessary, to get
the extra blowing done as early as
possible. The owner of the power
should be paid the going rate and the
tractor agencies would be more than
willing to keep the tractors in first
class shape and to furnish expert
service.

A "Burnino Well"

Water and fire aren't usually con-
sidered good friends, but under certain
circumstances they may unite to form
an interesting and beautiful natural
phenomenon. This is the case near
Mobile, Ala, where for years a "burn-
ing well" has been the center of at
traction for visitors and residents Of
the city. Bored originally for an ar
tesian we'll, the product Of the hole
was a. tremendous flow of salt water,
heavily charged with chlorine gas.
How this gas first took fire is not
known, but burn it does, and the deep
orange flames, uninjured by the water,
not only squirt high with the flow OF
the crystal stream and color it's white
foam, but they run along the circular
pool about the we'll in continuous
sweeps of. bright color.

You cannot grow crops without re-
storing fertility, any more than you
could keep on drawing money out Of
the bank and never putting any in.
There may be some excuse for the
burning of straw when a man consid-
ers that labor is the scarcest article
and that burning saves days Of work {;
but the phosphorus in the straw
should be returned either through ami
mails or by spreading on the land.
Much good paper is made from
straw, the only difficulty being that
enough straw cannot be taken to 4he
mill cheaply enough, but If any county
wishes to make an additional profit, a
plan should be devised to concentrate
all of the straw by sending baler
around. 1t would be easy to get pa
per mill If the supply of straw were
assured. r.- s.sE,.5
