SPLENDID PLACE FOR BRUSH
Material Should Be Hauled Away and
Used for Stopping Washing
of Fertile Soil.

Brush and straw piles that will be
in the way next spring should be
hauled away and used 20 stop soil
washing. Aside from using straw as
bedding for live stock or spreading il
over fields, this is perhaps the best use
to make of II. Everyone has seen
enormous gullies cut In a 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 started
in corn fields or wheat fields, or even
in pastures or meadows, may often
be stopped with a little straw. Even
cattle paths in pastures often deepen
so that they need such treatment. In
other places 1t is necessary to plan TO
sow sorghum TO stop washing. but II
the gullies are more than a foot deep
and two or three feet wide 1t is uSu-
ally better TO use brush. according to
the University of Missouri College Of
Agriculture.
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 u
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 the slope or around the hill.
Then the rows will not run straight
down the slope and thereby furnish
the steepest possible channel for the
run-off from rains. Those who have
such winter cover crops as rye to hold
the soil IT. place are fortunate, but
those who do not should not latter
themselves that no washing is going
on even in winter when there is less
rainfall.

reason why n good variety of pats

years from now as ii is now, if care
is taken to keep it pure.
Clean and Grade Seed.
The seed should be cleaned and
graded each year, taking out the weed
seeds and the small kernels. 1t should
also be treated for smut ut least once
in two or three years. If the seed is
OF good quality it Will not pay TO run
ii through the tanning mill more than
once, to take out the small kernels
and weed seeds. If the seed is poor
or very weedy, running it through a
second time and taking out two-thirdS
or more of the grain is well worth
while.
The reason il is best TO take Out
the small kernels is that they do not
make rs strong plants as the large
neS The weak plants from these
small kernels usually produce little
grain. If the kernels that are own
are all about the same size the plants
will be uniform, the crop will all ripen
at the same time. and the yield will
be better.
Sowing With Drill is Best.
The best way to SOW oats is with
the grain drill. Drilling gives a more
even stand than broadcast seeding,
for all the seed is covered To about the
same depth. In sowing broadcast.
some of the seed may not be covered
at all and some may be covered too
deeply. termination is better from
drilled SEED and the growth is more
uniform throughout the season. In
numerous tests al the experiment sta
tions drilled oats have outylelded oats
Sown broadcast by several bushels

and clover can also be obtained in
drilled than in broadcast oats.

The fight on film

Dental science has found a way to combat
film on teeth the film that dims teeth and
destroys them.
Film IS that viscoIs coat you feel. 1t
clings to teeth, enters c~revicss and stays. The
ordinary tooth paste does rot dissolve it, SO
brushing has left mucl, d it intact. And
very few people have escaped its damage.
It is the 6lm-coat that 2iiscolors, not the
teeth. Film is the basis cN tartar. Il holds
food substance which fersshents and forms
acid. It holds the acid in contact with the
teeth to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They, with
tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea, which
attacks Q5 in loo.
Now, after years of research, a way has
been found to combat it. Able authorities
have amply proved it's efficiency. Leading
dentists everywhere now urge its daily use.

furnished the football boys at the
grounds. At the present time the
boys dress at the high school and then
journey to Twenty-second street to
practice, then return to the high
school for showers This is imprac-
teal after hard practice and makes
it very hard to keep the men in con-
dition. superintendent Bentley and
Principal Bate were at the grounds
Tuesday evening looking over the club
house and making estimates as to the
cost of improvements.
Coach Null took direct charge OF
the football candidates for the first
time Tuesday afternoon and put the
men through their PAGES in order to
get some line on the best candidates
for the first string squad. 1t is prob
able that the squad will be cut in the
next two weeks in order to give more
direct attention to developing a win
ming team.
No scrimmage was held but candi-
dates for the line were put against
each other and given instructions in
charging and blocking. The backfield
men practiced catching and going
down with punts to tackle Several
of the men showed promise at this,
but many fumbles were made that
would prove costly in game.

MAROON AND White
PROSPECTS BRIGHT

Earlham football prospects looked
better Tuesday evening when fifty-ive
men reported for practice on Reid
Field. This is the largest number that
has turned out for Coach Move thus
far. Fundamentals are still being
dished out by Move and Higgins.
The men were divided into three
squads and some light signal practice
was run through. No attempt was
made to choose a first eleven, the
Quaker mentors intention being mere
ly to accustom the grid warriors to
handling the ball in preparation for
scrimmage which will probably begin
the latter part of the week.
Practice will be held only in the af-
ternoon the rest of the season with
several chalk talks at night at which
time plays will be worked out and
explained.

State Game Wardens to
Watch for Foreign Hunters

State game wardens have been in
structed to watch this season for non
resident hunters who may attempt to
hunt in Indiana with resident hunting
licenses Officials believe that non
resident hunters have defrauded the
state of considerable money by obtain
ing resident licenses.
The cost of resident license is 81
while a nonresident license is $3.50.
Only 60 nonresident licenses were is
sued during the fiscal year ending
Sept. 80, according to George n. Mann
field, superintendent of the division of
fish and game. He points out that de-
spite the diligence of the game ward
ems it is possible for one living in an
adjoining state to come to Indiana,
represent to the county clerk that he is
a Hoosier resident and procure for 81
a resident license.
Mr. Mansfield says the game ward
ems have been instructed that in case
there is any doubt about the holder Of
resident license being a bona-fide
resident Of the state the one under
suspicion must be compelled to show
not only his license, but also establish
his place of residence.
