AIMED FROM SWAMPS.
BY W. A. Martin.


National Crop Improvement Servtce.I
Z + HAS been estimated that nearly
one-haf of the farm lands of
America are standing Idle be-
cause they are rot in tillable condi-
lion For instance, in the state of
Wisconsin there are thousands of
small lakes most of which are sur
rounded by more or less wonderful
rich land which is either overfowed
or low-lying in boys.
Ii is one Of the problems Of every
agricultural college to put this land
IN farming condition and much prog
ress is being made in introducing
modern methods of draining this
land
County agricultural agents in coun-
ties which have such low-lying lands
are holding drainage meetings and
they will all welcome any man who
is in search of drainage information
No man who has wet farm should
neglect putting it in tillable condl-
ton.
Many Instances are cited of won
derful results from merely making
E-shaped bitches. One county agent
states that a farmer at Green Bay,
Wis, by the name of NJ. Bodenheimer,
had 800 acres Of fat land ON which
the water stood whenever it rained.
The water would sog into the land
aud consequently it kept too soft and
wet to work. He acquired this land
about eighteen years ago and he al
ways thought a lot Of the place as
the soil was of rich nature and he

From the mere standpoint of gasoline mile
age, Essex in its nation wide tests showed a
performance worthy of cars which possess
that advantage as their principal quality
Records were kept on 40 cars. They
averaged 1879 miles to the gallon
But bear in mind this was not done by
taking advantage of every device possible to
increase gasoline mileage. Under conditions
of that sort, Essex showed as nigh as 81 miles
to the gallon. However, men don't drive that
way How obviously unfair it would be,
therefore, to offer such carefully economical
fuel mileage tests as typical of all Essex cars.
In the Essex tests, conditions and perform

LEE SCHOOL NOW
MUCH OVERCROWDED

There are nearly 600 pupils in the
Robt. E. Lee School, according to
Supt. M. M. Phillips, and the school
board is up against difficult propo-
sition to provide necessary room for
the large classes.
At a meeting of the executive
committee of the board this week it
was decided to abandon the chapel
room for chapel purposes and divide
it into two recitation rooms. This
provision will be made at once. 1t
is also being arranged to move the
lunch serving equipment into the
gymnasium building, thus giving
more room for classes.
Supt. Phillips reports that the meJ-
ical examination is meeting with the
ready response from the pupils, and
that it is expected it will shortly at
tain 100 percent.
In order to conserve heat, in view
of the high cost of coal, and from an
efficiency standpoint, arrangements
are being made at Lee School to COW
er the steam pipes with asbestos.

THE GREATEST SIN OF
ALL-SELFISHNESS--iS
AGAIN ABOUNDING HERE

Less than one hundred citizens of
the town appreciate the city library
Only about eighty-fve membership
cards were sold in last Thursdays
canvass of the town.
The workers are not confident of
selling many more cards, although the
entire town has by no means been
canvassed, and although the commit
tee of ladies, who freely gave their
time and labor to the cause, worked
most faithfully. The proposition
remains open indefinitely. If you
wish to purchase a library member
ship card, whether you ever intend
using it or not, go or send to the Ii
brarian in the city hall. 1t may be
the easiest way out for you in the
long run, because the committee have
other projects up their sleeves to
tear you loose from that tightly
clutched dollar and to invest same in
a book for some reading hungry per-
son, old or young, who frequents the
public library. The money already
obtained, however, will be immedia-
tely spent for new books, which will
soon make their appearance ON the
library shelves.
