HOLIDAYS IN IRVINE

While little late, consider worth
while mentioning:
The Christmas tree and exercises
we're fine. Too much praise cannot
be given our worthy teacher, Miss
Whitlock Her labors in drilling the
children reaped much reward in
praise from all.
The only busy people saw here
during the holidays were our efficient
and genial manager and his wife, Mr..
and Mrs. L. X Edwards. After car
ing for and laying away our friend
and bookkeeper and paymaster, Mr..
Mixson, and for whom, had he been a
brother he could not have done more,
they went into the Office together,
caught up with the work that had
been set aside during his illness and
death, For people of their financial
ability and social standing to stay on
the job at such time, meeting all
with kindness, is most loyal and roy
a. fidelity to duty. and / feel it an
honor to work for such people.
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis entertained
many in their beautiful home. A fell
low is lucky to get his fete under
their table any time, but during the
holidays, and accompanied with sing
ing and playing of Miss Mamie Plant,
if he has soul he will certainly
know he has had a treat, and will
wish the whole world happy new
-e.r.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gibson spent Christ
mas with Mr.. and Mrs. Bitch. The
ladies' are sisters. 1t is certainly
beautiful to see the devotion and love
of these two sisters to each other. It
is the sisterhood of woman supreme
ly personified.
Mrs Mixson will leave us for South
Carolina .he coming month. Her
mother. Mrs. Williams, is here with
her We viii all miss her and her
three beautiful children, and / be-

PRESERVING SOIL MOISTURE


The practice that prevails in some
irrigation localities Of letting the nat
ural moisture escape from the soil,
with the Idea that more water can be
applied when IT is needed, is most per-
nicious and should be discouraged, say
specialists of the United States De-
partment OF Agriculture. II the moist
ure that gets into the ground in the
form Of precipitation or as irrigation
water is retained by the soil it will en-
able the soil organisms to act upon the
plant foods, rendering them available
for plant growth. There is feeling
Of safety in having an unlimited sup
ply Of water for irrigation purposes,
but 1t should be remembered that irri-
cation costs money and labor; precipi-
tation is natures gift.

THEIR ESTIMATES TOO LOW
Proof That Engineers Have Erred III
Their Figures Concerning the
Weight of Crowds.

Interesting experiments were made
some time ago at Harvard university
which seem to demonstrate that en-
gineers usually underestimate the
maximum loading caused by dense
crowds on bridges, floors and plat
forms. Forty men averaging 1853
pounds in weight placed in a box six
feet square caused an average pres
sure of 1S1 pounds to the square foot
on the floor.
An engineer has estimated the
weight per square foot of the densest
crowds on the New York elevated rail-
ways at only 45 pounds, but since the
Harvard experiments the opinion has
been expressed that the maximum
loading on the elevated cars and plat
forms may be nearer ISL than As
pounds. This applies to other close
packed crowds.

TURKEYS SPREAD
GApEWORM PEST
Demonstrated by Experiments
Carried on at Washington
and on Nearby Farms.
OLD CHICKENS NOT INFECTED
Losses Can Be Greatly Reduced by
Keeping Young Chickens on Ground
That Has Not Been Exposed
to Contamination.

prepared BY the United States Depart
ment of Agrieulture)
Turkeys are probably the naturai
hosts of the gapeworm-a serious pest
among young chickens--and are an
important factor In their spread. This
has been demonstrated by a zoologist
Of the United States Department of
Agriculture as the result Of expert
ments and other investigations carried
on at Washington, D. C., and on farms
in several localities in Maryland.
Many Turkeys Harbor espeworms.
During three winter seasons begin
ming in December. 1916, a total of 6s5
chickens and $40 turkeys were ex-
amlned in the Washington city market.
No gapeworms were found in the
chickens, but 22.5 per cent of the
turkeys were found to be infested.
From to 8 worms we're found In each
of the infested turkeys. A report of
these investigations has been published
by the department in Department
Bulletin $50, "The Turkey as an I'm
portant Factor in the Spread of Cape
worms"
In view of the complete absence of
gapeworms from a large series of
adult chickens and their common oc-
currence In a similar series of adult
turkeys, 1t would appear, the bulletin
says, that adult chickens are poorly
adapted as hosts OF gapeworms. That
turkeys above 3 years OF age may
harbor gapeworms is established by
the fact that a turkey which was Kept
at the departments experiment sta
ton at Bethesda. Md. for three years
after It was brought there was found
after its death to be infested with
pair Of worms.
In the perpetuation of gapeworms
from year TO year on infested poultry
farms the two chief factors, according
to the bulletin, appear to be turkeys
