GulIies Cause Big Farm Loss


There is no more serious loss to the
average farm lands of Missouri than
that resulting from washing. On
many lands this is far more injurious
to the land than the removal of plant
food through crops. according to M.
F, Miller, department of soils, College
of Agriculture, University of Missou-
ri. Moreover, small gullies will in
crease to larger ones and finally be-
come of such size that they cannot be
crossed with farm implements. I'M
der such conditions the field is cut up
into small tracts and the expense Of
handling is greatly increased. The
cid saying that "stitch in time saves
nine" can nowhere be better applied
than to the matter of stopping washes.
A little straw, an armful Of corn fod-
der or forkful of weeds placed in a
small wash will usually stop il. #
this is not done when the wash IS small
more drastic measures must he en-
ployed later. For the larger washes
it becomes necessary to use brush
dams, preferably of Usage orange or
cedar, or to plow them in and seed
them to a quick growing crop like
wheat, oats. rye or millet which will
hold the ground, and seed it to grass
at the same time. A light top dressing
of barnyard manure win greatly slim
ulate the growth of the grass.

M. U. Experts Approve Missouri
t4 Wheat Fields.

c. E. Carter, R. T. Kirkpatrick and
p. w. Frear, Of the Agricultural Ex-
tension Division of the University of
Missouri, returned recently from trip
over the State, on which they inspect
ed wheat fields for the purpose of i'm
proving them for seed wheat. Mr..
Carter says that in one county he
found the wheat generally free from
disease end of high standard Of
purity. He believes that this is due
to the fact that the farmers in the
community all plant one type of wheat
and the chances for mixture in the
threshing machine are lessened.
In Cass county the good seed wheat
was mostly from the seed grown by
one man, j. P. Lummis of Harrison
vile, and some of the best wheat in
the state was found there, The wheat
of Mr.. Lummis. was inspected in the
field last year end approved. Most of
his seed was sold locally. The results
show how the work of one man may
bring better wheat for whole COM
munity. Another example of this land
was found in Buchanan county where
practically all the wheat grown in
one community is of the same variety,
the seed coming directly or indirectly
from the seed grown by Herman
Prescher of Saxton.

AN OLD LANDMARK IN
SAN FRANCISCO WILL
BE TORN DOWN SOON
lBy The Associated Press.l

San Francisco, Calf, Dec. U.s.
One of the last strongholds of
Californias old gold days will
soon pass into memory with the
razing of San Francisco's first
subtreasury building.
Originally constructed in 1850
by act of congress for use as a
government assay office during
the gold rush days. the building,
three years later was remodeled
into a mint and in 1857 was made
into a subtreasury.
For seventy-one years the old
structure was identified with the
growth of the west and still re-
tains many "reminiscences of the
Eldorado. Since 1915. when the
new subtreasury was completed
the building has been occupied by
private concern.
Thomas p. Burns, in his history
of the subtreasury, Of which he
was cashier for thirty years, re-
calls many historic events which
were enacted about the old build
ing. One of the most notable Of
these was the Shipment in August,
1892, of s20,000,00O in gold to the
subtreasury in New York. This is
believed to be one of the largest
sums of money ever shipped at one
time. 1t was carried on a special
train of five cars, manned by fifty
armed guards.
In May, 1915, 100000, 900 cash
was transferred from the old
subtreasury to the new without
the loss of a single penny.

IAN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Common garden SaGe md sulphur
makes Strenked, faded or gray hnir
Jnrk and youthful mt once

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound. :
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to mako it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays We simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get large
bottle of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
at very little cost. Everybody uses
this preparation now because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does 1t so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning tho
gray hair disappears. and after an
other application or two, your hair be-
comes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger.
