DAIRY CATTLE ON DRY FARM
Government Begins Study of Dalry,ng
 and Crop Possibilities In Southwest.

(Prepared by the United States Department eaea s of Agriculture.)
 In order to- study the possibilities of dairying and to develop better meth ods of crop utilization in the dry farming regions of the Southwest the bureau of animal industry of the Uni ted States Department of Agriculture has established herd Of purebred dairy cattle on a farm in the semi arid district of northwestern Okla homa. The bureau of plant industry has had farm here near the town of Woodward for many years, and has studied such crops as grain sorghums, broom corn. forage sorghums, cowpeas, alfalfa. rye for the prevention of soil

 "Or have enjoyed the friendship of Bill Berry and acquired a national debt, or have saved my imperiled country in the war with Black Hawk" Abe laughed.
 In the matter of dress the postmas- ter had great confidence in the taste and knowledge of his young friend, Harry Needles, whose neat appear ance Abe regarded with serious ad- miration. So he asked Harry to go with him on his new mission and help to choose the goods and direct the
  ly important enterprise.
 "Our appropriation is only fifteen dollars" said Abe as they came in sight of "the big village" on warm bright day late in October. "Of course, can't expect to make myself look like the President of the United States with such sum, but want to look like a respectable citizen of the United States, if that is possible. I'll give the old Abe and fifteen dollars to boot for new one and we'll see what comes of it."
 Springfield had been rapidly chang ing. It was still small and crude, but some of the best standards of civiliza- tion had been set'up in that commun- ity. Families of wealth and culture in the East had sent their sons and share of their capital to this little metropolis of the land of plenty to go into business. Handsome, we'll l-groomed horses, in silver-mounted harness, drawing carriages that shone "so you could see your face in them," to quote from Abe again, were on its streets.
 The two New Salem men stopped and studied a big sign in front of large store on which this announce ment had been lettered:
 Cloths, cassinettes, cassfmeres, vel vet silks, satins, Marseilles waistcoat- ing, fine, calf boots, seal and morocco pumps for gentlemen, crepe lisse, lace veils. Thibet shawls, fine prunella shoes" "
 Reads like a foreign language to me-" said Abe. "How would you like a little Marseilles waistcoating",
 Suddenly a man touched his shoul- der with a hearty "Howdy, Abe? -
 It was Eli, "fhe Wandering Jew" as he had been wont to call himself in the days when he carried a pack on the road through Peters Bluff and Clary's Grove and New Salem to Beardstown and back.
 Dis Is my store," said Eli.
 "Your store!' Abe exclaimed.
 ''Ya, look at de sign"
 The Jew pointed to his sign-boaHd, some fifty feet long under the cornice, on which they read the legend:

This is considered a neces- sary combination, as most of the feeds grown there are of the kind that must be fed largely to live stock.
 The dairy division hopes to deter mine whether or not 1t Is desirable to produce live stock under those dry land conditions, and to grow the crops which will give the largest returns per acre in terms of milk or cream. The question is not one of crop tonnage, but of the amount of finished dairy products that can be turned out The work here is not designed to discover the best practices for any particular state, but to study practices that will be desirable in the large dry-land re- gions where only certain crops can be grown.
 The people of this little Oklahoma town have shown great enthusiasm in regard to the investigations that the department of agriculture contem- plates. The town purchased 160 acres adjoining the old government farm, and turned it over free to the govern ment for a period of 99 years. The voters of the town were almost unani- nous in favor of this donation.
 The cattle that are being used on this farm are also In the countrywide breeding project being conducted by the dairy division and bulls have been sent from the government farm at Beltsville, Md. In this breeding project, which now includes more than 300 COWS and 50 bulls, 1t Is hoped to de- termine what are the best methods of breeding for the improvement of cat tie. The large scale of this investiga- tion should make the results particu- lariy valuable.

It's name has proved almost impreg-

who will agree on the spelling, you
would have to go to Japan-and there
they dodge the issue and draw a pic

of the puzzle. Many tactful persons
have adopted "Maidenhair Tree" as a
way Quits long-petioled leaves are

Volcanic dust. thrown high into the
air during an eruption. is so finely di-

upper levels Of the atmosphere for
years. Its particles seem mostly to be
minute bubbles, hollow inside.
Together with water. volcanoes emit
vast quantities of mud, which. hard

''tuff''-a friahle material which in
parts of our own West covers great
areas to a depth Of thousands Of feet
familiar volcanic product is pum-
ice. which is so porous, and therefore
so light In weight, that 1t will float on
water. Another is obsidian. or vol
