DUMB HERO ON CASUALTY LIST Old Red Cross Army Mule the Only Animal That Was Accorded inc
 Distinction.

Dumb animals fought, bled and died for the United States, writes J. W. RiXey Smith in the Home Sector and only one lonely army mule, attached to the Twenty-seventh division for duty, was honored with place on the casualty list
 The ex-soldier's magazine says: Many men of the Twenty-seventh di- vision will never forget the old Red Cross mule who, so far as is known, accounted for the only casualty acered- ited to our animals in the war. Many a time the old wornout beast faithful iF piled his way right up to the front lines with chewing gum and chocolate and cigarettes. Once, in some manner, he went too far, found himself in the thick of the fighting, got himself prop erly excited and-there are witnesses to attest it-kicked a Roche into oblivion. And the luck that had been with him stuck, for he came safely back to the American lines.

SEEKING COUNCIL

President Elect. Harding is report

agitators generally have found their
warmest and most influential friends
connected with the departments OF
state justice and labor. Did not

virs. MS we'll as from irrigated fields
especially where the land - flooded.
) In addition to giving the benefits al
ready mentioned. windbreaks afford
protection 10 live stock. add pleasure
and comfort to the home, always make
the landscape more attractive and ac-
tuaIiy increase the sale value OF the
farm.
What to Plant
The efficiency of wind break Is de-
pendent upon density, height and up
to a certain point. upon width. For
quick results and efficlecy. an Ideal
windbreak consists Of four rows of
some one of tie cottonwoods to form
the center. with a single row of some
evergreen tree on either side making
six rows In all The cottonwood will
give quick results in height. and the
evergreen will furnish effective pro-
lection at the ground The trees
should be planted four feet apart each
way. Any one of several cottonwoods
would be suitable. Those suggested
are Balm of Gilead lo1nbardy poplar.
Carolina poplar and common cotton
wood. The evergreens especially re-
commended are Norway spruce
Duglas fir and Scotch pine. All these
are excellent trees. grow reapidly for
evergreens and are perfectly hardy
for South Idaho.
two-row windbrak could consist
of a row of cottonwood or willow
and a row of one of the three ever
greens mentioned. preferably the Nor
way spruce, or Douglas fir. The rows
should be planted four feet apart and
the trees four feet apart in the row.
For single row windbreak the will
low or Norway spruce is especially
recommended. Willow gives quicker
desults, since it grows more rapidly.
but Norway spruce is more efficient as
1t branches low to the ground and
holds its leaves the year through.
Other trees especially worthy of
constellation for windbreak purposes
within irrigated belts of South Idaho
are black locust, Norway maple white
ash. red oak, western white pine and
western red cedar.

appeals 10 the American heart as no

spond with generous contributions for
these starving and unfortunate child =
ren the American conscience and tho
American sense OF justice and right
eousness Is aroused 10 inquire why the
cause OF these things is not STONED
by the Christian nations OF the world.
and to wonder II the Turk Is TO be
permitted forever TO harrass the
Christian world with his inhuman at
rocities?
Americ will contribute TO this
fund. this year. and next year and the
next for an indefinite period but II
is In no spirit OF charity that American
eontempiates that this contribution is
but a form Of penance she is paying
for her folly when she placed her dos-
tinies in the hands OF Woodrow VIII
son and that he. for the qualification
OF HIS own personal ambitions and
agrandizment appointed himself the
arbiter OF the peace OF the world. That
he used the power and influence of
these United States to sacrifice the
peace OF the world at the peace con-
ference in order that he might gain
some personal honors. When the
peace conference met the Turk and
the German and all other human
beasts OF prey were in a mental con-
dition that made It possible for the
peace conference to forever Danish the
Turk from further consideration by
civilization and forever stop the Ar

the German could have been made TO

The total effect of the windbreak

ed crop production in the zone favor

in addition to those given might be
cited TO show this. but | shall mention
but one more. The U. s. Forest Ser
vice reports that in 1908 crop Of corn
in Nebraska was grown to the leeward
side Of n dense windbreak Of hard
woods IS feet high. In the latter part
of June. the average height Of the corn
in the first Is rows was AZ feet.When
harvested. the corn at maximum pro-
lection. yielded 50 bushels per acre,
as against II bushels per acre beyond

increased yield at $50 feet from the
windbreak. or ten times its height was
bushels per acre The average gain
on this strip was 9.22 bushels per acre.
which at so cents per bushel, the pre-
vailing price that year, equals s4.61
per acre.
The favorable influence exerted by
windbreats is by no cans limited to
fruit and corn, as similar increases
have been noted for other crops in
Guiding small grain and hay. 1t should
be said that there is some loss to
crops near the trees due to shading
and sapping of the soil, but this loss
in regions subject to high winds, is far
more than offset by the added pro-
duction farther out. Alfalfa suffers
very little next to trees since. it bears
shading and on account Of
it's deep roofing habit, it is able to
draw moisture from the subsoil. or
course the rental value of the ground
occupied by the trees must also be
taken into account. but the value OF
value of the material for posts, fuel
md other purposes will amply take
care of this.
It is of interest to note that wind
breaks are also of great value in

Realizing it's great Importance we
have asked Dean Miller of the School
OF Forestry at our Forestry to ad-

herewith the advice he offers. Every
farmer in irrigated Idaho could give
the following article careful conside-
alton with profit to himself and his
community
"Windbreak Planting in the Irrigated
Sections of South Idaho
While windbreak planting has been
extensively practiced in other parts Of
the country notably in the rich farm
ing belts Of the Middle West 1t has
not had the attention in the irrigated
belts OF South Idaho. that its impor-
lance deserves. The usual fertility Of
the land here has perhaps been the
principal factor working against such
planting, as owners naturally are SLOW
to give up even a small part of rich !
farm lands to windbreaks, believing !
that their crop Yields will be decreased |

What The Windbreak Docs
The windbreak reduces the eyl ,Cia-
ton Of soil moisture. creates more
favorable temperature for crop growth,
and checks the mechanical force of the
wind. These influences are seen in
