CONSERVATION OF
''''''"'"''' MOISTURE IS
By T. F. PECK,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

Nearly one half of the year 1922
is past and is history. We have had
practically 25 inches OF rainfall to
date. Our average rainfall is 1928
inches annually. The rainfall has
been so distributed as to keep
the ground too wet for working
great part of the time.
We may expect a dry season
during cultivating period and during
August. So it behooves us to be
prepared for it by getting a dust
mulch on our land in crops and
maintaining it. By doing this we
can conserve the moisture in the
soil for our crops.
If we have properly prepared our
soils before planting, thorough shall
low cultivation at frequent intervals
will serve the purpose. Conserve
the moisture and kill the weeds as
soon as they terminate and prevent
them crowding the crops we are
growing or taking up the plant food
that the growing crops can utilize
Do not be in too big hurry to
clay by your crops because the sur
face should be kept stirred to pre-
serve the dust mulch through the
dry period we usually have during
August. 1t is claimed that 81 per
cent of the weight of our crops comes
from the air and water and 3 per
cent from the soil proper, so we
should not take any chances on not
conserving the moisture in the soil.
| heard the statement made by a
speaker as to the part water played
in the growth of crops, and a
farmer in the audience said Il have
spent thousands Of dollars in drain
ing my swamp lands, and according
to your statement have wasted my
money!. The speaker explained tc
him that his land needed drainage
~ +bo r,otor uoc dead inactive
and had soured the land SO it coulc
mot produce crops. We must have
drainage to avoid dead water, anc
we must have humus in the soil tc
make it porous, so the air anc
water can penetrate it.
The dust mulch prevents evapora
| ton. If we have deep soil well sup
piled with vegetable matter, we cal

REV. COOKIES BACCALAU.
REATE ADDRESS.

Our announcement last week that
among the important events nigh at
hand was the Baccalaureate address to
be given to the high school graduating
class at the Municipal Theatre on Sun
day evening by Rev j. h. Cooke proved
to be in no way misleading.
Long before the doors were thrown
open a large number had assembled
waiting to get in, The spacious quarters
were quickly filled. Singing of "0n-
ward Christian Soldiers" opened the
exercises Rev. Scboenfeld offered the
invocation; singing by the male octuple
and solo by Mr.. Connolly followed.
The address, which proved so splendid.
so creditable, was then begun. Mr..
Cookies talk was so direct, so clear. so
logical and so pleasing, that praise has
been following in its wake ever since.
There was not the least attempt to
crate. 1t was pleading and reason
ing talk to the class. Now, if ever.
was euucatiOn an essential attainment
for the welfare of our country, for the
world in fact. was his contention. Still
he saw in character something more
important, and in Christianity some
thing most important, With the blend
ing of these three qualities back of
government it could never fail. He is
right, and the sooner everyone realizes
1t and acts accordingly the better.
The thanks of fathers and mothers,
OF citizens in general. are due Mr..
Cooke for what he offered as safe
guide along the pathway of life Heed,
and there will be realized success and
contentment, not Individually only. but
collectively.

MARY ANN MILLER.

! Another Mineral Point land mark
was removed last Sunday, when the old
colored lady, Mary Ann Miller. died at
the County Home.
Mary Ann was of slave parentage
and was brought to Wisconsin in the
early forties by southerner, the late
DR.. Monroe of Monroe. She came to
Mineral Point in the fifties and settled
with the family of Geo. w Bliss, found
ers of The Tribune. Later she became
member of the f. o. Bliss home and
lastly she was identified with the w. P.
Bliss family for eighteen years. thus
serving three generations of one family
surely a noble record of service.
Mary Ann, although her color was
black, served all those years with genu-
inc whiteness. Unlettered and untu-
tored in equipment, yet she lived a
helpful and graciol life. Her age is
shrouded in uncertainty, but it is quite
generally believed that she was born
back in the twenties Funeral services
of honor and tenderness were held at
the graveside in Graceland on Monday |
afternoon, Rev. A H. Schoenfeld of

AN AWFUL. INJURY.

On Friday evening, while coming to
town in his speed car, on the Lime Kiln
road, Edwin Coke, son of Mr.. and Mrs,
Ben Coke, colided with a team, and
the tongue of the wagon entered his
forehead and tore his scalp and exposed
the brain. He was taken at once to
the Cunningham hospital. 1t was found
that his forehead was caved in by the
contact and the skull fractured, and an
operation was performed at once to
save his life. A plate was inserted
and all other necessary surgery used TO
help the unfortunate young man. He
has been getting along as well as can
hoped for, but it will require ten or
twelve hours before he may be pro-
nounced out OF danger. IL this work
proves successful, it will then be ne
cessary to again operate to cover the
opening in his head to make bis future
life safer.
1t is not known how the accident oc.
Cured, but probably young Coke did
not see the team coming over the
slight hill. The collision occurred near
the Lee place.
Coke has been conscious all of the
time except during the operation. In
fact, he walked into the hospital from
the car which brought him in. The
driver of the wagon was not injured,
although he was thrown from the seat.
