CONSERVING VALUABLE SOIL
Each County in Iowa Loses Annually
Six Inches of Soil From Top of
LOO Acres of Land.

Problem for the class in intermedi-
ate arithmetic: Find the number of
cubic feet in the top six inches of soil
from 10000 acres of land.
That sounds sufficiently unrelated to
common experience to be problem in
the old-time school arithmetic, but, as
a matter of fact, il is what Iowa has
been losing every year in the water
that flows over it's fields. Specialists
of the United States department of ag-
riculture, who have worked in various
sections Of Iowa during the past sew
eral months, estimate that each coun-
ty in Iowa-and there are an even
hundred of them-loses annually six
inches of soil from the top of LOO
acres of land. Henceforth, these spe-
cialists think, not so much good soil
will be washed away. The recent high
prices of Iowa farm lands. injurious
in some particulars, has been benefi-
cial in causing Iowa farmers to realize
that they cannot afford to permit such
valuable stuff as dirt to be carried
away in rain water.

Timber in South Africa.

AS the Importance of providing a
future supply Of timber begins to be
appreciated, it is interesting to note
that e. J. Laschinger, past president OF
the South African Institution Of En-
gineers, points to South Africa as one
of the worlds best fields for timber
growing. The work must be done on
a large scale by the government, as
individuals cannot wait for the re-
turns, and his observation has been
that the various kinds Of pine are the
trees most suitable. The variable
winds exert such a twisting upon
growing trees that straight-grained
timber of certain kinds is difficult to
obtain. Pine seems to withstand the
comforting influence more effectively
than other kinds, and very fine.
raight-grained timber Of this sort Is
produced. AS a great advantage to
the country, the planting of many pine
forests from the equator down to the
Cape is urged.

ERADICATE BARBERRY
TO SAVE GRAIN CROP
Common Plant Has Long Ca
reer of Crime Behind It.
Weed Has Destroyed Billions of Bush
els of Wheat and Other Grains
in Past-Wheat Is Valuable
and Needed.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
If you saw an anarchist with blaz-
ing torch in his hand sneaking through
the grass to your ripe wheat field, in
tending to set it on fire, what would
you do? If you saw several of his
companions in crime sneaking to your
granary with oil and matches, what
would you do? If you saw a mob of
Wild-eyed anarchists running amucG
with firebrands and destructive intent,
what would you do? You would shoot
the first, you would shoot as many of
the small group as you could, and you
would call for help TO exterminate the
whole breed.
The common barberry is red-hand-
ed anarchist bush. 1t has long ca
reer of crime behind it. 1t has long
err and more terrible career of crime
before it if we don't put stop to it.
II has destroyed billions of bushels of
wheat and other grains in the past.
II will destroy billions of bushels in
the future unless we destroy it. Den
mark destroyed the common barberry
and stopped the stem rust. Many
farmers in this country have destroyed
their own bushes and rescued their
crops from ruin by the rust.
The United States department of
agriculture and the grain-growing
states are eradicating the common
barberry. Are you for it or against itf
We cannot save the wheat and keep
the barberry. The wheat is valuable
and needed; give it a chance. The
common barberry is not valuable and
can be replaced by the beautiful Jap
anese barberry.

ture. Washington, D. c., for informa-

INDIGESTION
Caused by
Acid-St0n1aCh

Millions of people-in fact about 9 out Of

acute or chronic. Nearly every case Is
caused by Acid-Stomach.
There are other stomach disorders which
also are sure signs of Acid-Stomach-belch-
ing, heartburn bloat after eating, food re-
peating, sour. gassy stomach. There are
many ailments which, while they do not
cause much distress in the stomach ITSELF
are, nevertheless, traceable to an acid
stomach. Among these are nervousness
biliousness, cirrhosis of the liver, rheuma-
tism, Impoverished blood, weakness, insom-
MIA, melancholia and long train OF phys
ical and mental niseries that keep the
victims in miserable health year after year
The right thing to do is to attack these
ailments at their source-get rid of the acid
stomach. A wonderful modern remedy called
EATONIC now makes it easy to do this,
One of hundreds of thousands of grateful
users of EATONIC writes: II have been
troubled with intestinal indigestion for about
nine years and have spent quite a sum for
medicine, but without relief After using
EATONIC for a few days the gas and pains
in my bowels disappeared. EATON1C is just
the remedy I needed"

oughly covering the area occupied by
the ends Of the scions and the margins
of the wound with grating wax, strips
Of waXed cloth, or by some other
means that adequately will prevent
these parts from drying out. Some
operators cover the entire wound,
scions and ALL with melted wax.
Where the bridged portion is below
or near the ground many operators
conserve moisture by covering the
CRAFTS with earth.
Bridging From the Ground.
Where the wound is so large as to
make ordinary bridge grating impos-
sible, another method of bridging may
be used. Two-year-old trees are
planted about the base of the injured
tree and their tops grated into its
trunk above the girdled space, which
has first been cleaned as in the other
method. AS the tops of the small
trees are too large to manipulate
readily in the manner described for
scions, V-shaped vertical grooves eX-
tending through the cambium are cut
just above the wounded area in the
bark of the tree to be treated. The
tops of the small trees are shaped to
correspond with these grooves. The
two are then accurately fitted together
in such a manner as to bring the cam
blum of one into contact with that of
the other. Small nails may be driven
through the tops Of the trees into the
trunk, to hold the parts firmly togeth-
er. The wounds incident to joining
the tops of the small trees to the
trunk of the large one should be well
covered with wax, to prevent drying
out. Sometimes cord is tied around
the trunk to aid in holding the tops
of the young trees in proper position.
