LAUGHS AT DROUGHT
RUST OR LOW PRICES

An explosion of a shell during the
st. Mihiel Drive in September 1918
sent Corporal Fielder Davis, 25th In
fantry to the Hospital, with a frac-
tured bone in his left lee
hap untitled him for service and he
was discharged from the army unable
to return to his former occupation
as telephone lineman. In addition,
his education was decidedly meagre,
and Davis was sent from the army in
a very gloomy frame of mind.
The Veterans Bureau, District No.
Ten, at Minneapolis, C. D. Hubbard,
District Manager, learning of his
case, at once took steps to inform the
disabled veteran of his rights under
existing laws. He was assisted in
filing a complete claim and subse-
q~uently was adjudged in need of vo-
cational rehabilitation by reason of
a disability caused by the service.
Davis was ambitious to become a
farm owner and he was given 27
months training at the Minnesota Ag-
ricultural College. Through saving
part of his government pay, he was
able to purchase on contract eighty
acres of land in North Dakota. From
experience gained in his agricultural
course and observation of crop condi-
tons of the last few years in North
Dakota, he decided against putting
"all of his eggs in n basket" with
the solid wheat planting. His diversi-
fed program included wheat, rye, flax,
fruit trees, cows, pigs, and chickens.
His dairy herd has a small start with
three pure Holstein cows and two
calves. equality before quantity" is
always the slogan of the successful
dairyman. With four Poland China
pigs, about fifty chickens, and his
diversified plan, this aggressive vet
eran has started upon a farm career
which will know no failure.
Rust, adverse weather conditions,
or unfavorable wheat prices will not
rule his farm. Davis case is ar ex-
ample of what hard work and proper
application will do for one hampered
by lack of education and systematic
training.

To save their teacher from getting
any more gray hairs, four of the old
er school boys, Donald Walter, Clar-
ence Bartell. Frank and Robert
Toavs, with the aid of a trailer and
a team of bronchos, made short work
of hauling gravel, water etc., and
getting the swing posts firmly en-
bedded in cement.
We regret to note that sickness
has compelled Jacob Newfeld to be

Nov. II, was Wanda Walters 9Th
birthday. But as some of her little
school friends come from five or
six miles in one direction and some
from about four in another a small
celebration was held, at the close of
school Friday, in the form of games
and eats.
Nov. ~, marked the s~eventy-third
mile stone in Grandma Toavs, jour
ney through life. The event being
commemorated by a dinner given at
the home of her son, A. F. Toavs.
Nick Toavs and family, Vim. Nickel
and family, and the Walter family
were partakers of the b%ounteous
feast. I
In the forenoon Messrs John and
Rudolph and Miss Bena Schmidt,
lack Bartell and Cornell Bartell and
family also called at the Toavs home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Toavs expect soon to
leave Montana to visit in Grand

an indefinite stay at their old home
in Minnesota, unless too strong a de-
sire should lure them "Out Where

On Wednesday evening the Walter

pleasant evening at the Wiebe home.
Mary Toavs is fourteen no more

IRRIGATION NOW
OF BIC Benefit
Border Method Followed in West
Is Well Adapted to a
Variety of Soils.
WATER TURNED INTO STRIPS
Not Profitable to Prepare Field for One
crop-AIfaifa, Glover and Other
Forage Crops Are Among
Those Favored.

The border method Of irrigation, fol-
lowed In many parts of the western
states, Is well adapted to variety of
soils and crops and is growing rapidly
In public favor. AS described in
Farmers Bulletin 1243, 1.-THE Border
Method of Irrigation" prepared by
Samuel Fortier and now issued by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, the method consists essentially
In the division of the field to be irri-
gated into a series Of strips, lands, or
beds, as they are variously termed, by
low. fiat levees extending usually In
the direction of the steepest slope.
Sufficient water is turned into the up
per end of each strip and allowed to
move down the slope in thin sheet,
moistening the soil to q given depth
us it advances toward the lower end.
Crops Suited for Irrigation. ...
1t seldom pays, 1t is said, to prepare
field for the border method for one
crop. The method is well adapted to
the irrigation of alfalfa, clover and
other forage crops, as well as all
grains. and the forage crops may be
rotated with the grains without mod
flying the method. 1t Is also possible
to irrigate potatoes. sugar beets and
other rowed and cultivated crops by
making slight change in the borders,
so that the latitude as to rotation Is
rather wide.
The most favorable soil for borders
Is free-working loan several feet
deep. underlain by more or less i'm
pervious subsoil. AS the sheet Of wa
ter flows down each strip, the pervious
top soil is readily moistened and the
heavier soil beneath prevents the
waste of water by deep percolation.
Borders are also very generally used
where the subsoil us well Us the top
layer of soil is porous, not because

Bulletin. No. 1907, Milk and Its Uses
In the Home, has recently been issued
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. Milk is indispensable in
the diet Of children, because its solids
are In such form that they can be
easily utilized by the body, and be-
cause 1t Is one of the best sources of
the lime needed to build bone and
teeth, and Of vitamine A, substance
essential to health and normal growth.
For adults also milk is an important
supplementary food. 1t should be
given scrupulous care In the home.
Milk and Its Uses.
Milk is an important food, because 1t
contains proteins for tissue forming, fat
particularly phosphorus and lime. for
building and repairing bones and other
tissues. MIX is much richer in lime
than most other common foods. A cup
full of milk, says the bulletin. contains
at least seven times as much lime as
two medium sized potatoes. and nearly
twenty times as much lime as two
slices of white bread or four ounces
of average beef. This is one. of the
reasons why it is such an excellent
food for children for bone and tooth
building.
Vitamines are recently discovered
constituents of food. Relatively little
Is known about the nature of vita
mines save that they are Indispensable
for normal health and growth, and that

such formations are the most favor
able but because no other method will
do as well.
The cost of preparing land for the
border method is low rs compared
with that required for most other
methods if the physical conditions are
favorable. At the same time it Is usu-
ally feasible to obtain fair crop at
small cost by the use of temporary
borders, and after the crop Is harvest
ed, the making Of permanent borders
may be undertaken without undoing
much Of the previous seasons work.
Slopes Are Essential.
A smooth, regular surface having
slope in one direction of about 2.5
inches to the hundred feet may be re.
Earded as ideal for the border method
of irrigation. 1t Is possible to make
borders on slopes one inch or less to
the hundred feet and on sleeper slopes
up to . feet and more per hundred.
Borders have been used on slopes as
great as ~ feet to the hundred feet,
but extra care must then be taken to
prevent soil and crop erosion.
The amount OF water that can be
turned into the strip depends on the
size of each strip. its slope, and other
conditions. In narrow, short strips
the head used may be reduced to half
n cubic foot second or from 20 to
% miners inches, and in wide, long
strips 10 cubic feet second may be
none too large. A large volume Of
water cannot be handled successfully
on steep slopes, but 1t is always pos
sible to divide head between two or
more compartments.
Full details of the construction and
operation of borders are contained in
the bulletin, copies of which may be
had free by writing to the United
Suites Department Of Agriculture.

WAY TO WASH HANDKERCHIEF
To Prevent Silk From Turning yellow
No Boiling Should Be Done
Dry in the Sun.

To prevent silk handkerchiers from
turning yellow when washed, no soup
should be rubbed on the silk, no soda
should be mixed with the water, and
the handkerchiefs should on no ac-
count be boiled. A hot, thick soapy
lather made with finely shredded soap
should be used for cleaning the hand
kerchiefs, which should be thoroughly
freed from all soap by .rinsing in
plepty of cold water and when most
of the water has been pressed Out
they should be dried, If possible, in
the sun.
