SALE
ATTRACTS CROWD r.
Local Store Literally damned
by Shoppers---Unusual
Bargains Offered.

The shoppers at Courtneys' new
ownership sale today. will run well
into the thousands. When the
doors of the big retail establish
ment were THROWING open this morn.
ing. nearly a. hundred women
pushed in to get the first look at
the bargains. It was thought at
noon today that the sale would
attract more local shoppers than
any of its kind ever held in + air,

were kept busy all morning wait

were more than $50 shoppers in
the store at that time, and the
management said that the big

not large enough to adj nit allsof

days, but no additional stock WILL

more help has been secured by the
company to handle the large crowd.
The big sale is the outcome OF
the new management which took
over the store last week. The new
owners decided to sell the old goods
at a sacrifice in order to make
room for the broader line Of stock
to be carried by them in the future.

Colonel Green Is not enjoying his
radio pleasures alone. The first try
out of his truck was made a few days
ago, and 1t went rolling about the
neighborhood reeling off concerts and

But the ampIfer is the coloners

TIPS TO THE RADIoIsT

Radio concerts are being given
in public parks all over the
country.
An international union of radio
operators has been founded in
Brussels.
A boy in Plalntield, n. J., has
built a radio set the size Of a
match box.
Radio concerts are proving OF
decided benefit to inmates OF IN
situations for the insane.
In Montana radio is furnishing
entertainment to the oil well
drlllers during their idle hours.
The most nOrtherly wireless
station on the globe is probably
at the village Of Noorvik, just
inside the Arctic circle, with a
population of 800 Eskimos.
An Oklahoma doctor who has
large number of hospital pa
tients maintains a radio outfit on
his automobile SO that he can be
instantly reached If needed at
the hospital.
In the case Of the new receiv-
ing apparatus that goes on the

comes legitimate. To say He

receiving radio.
Mr.. Edison took out radio
patent as early as 1881, but he
says 1t is difficult to say who

IRRIGATION NOW
Of BIG Benefit
eorder Method Followed in West
Is Well Adapted to a
Variety of Soils.
WATER TURNED into STRIPS
Not Profitable to Prepare Field for One
Crop-Alfalfa, Clover and Other
Forage Crops Are Among
Those Favored.

The Dor Ter method of irrigation, fol-
lowed in many parts of the western
states, Is well adapted to a variety of
soils and crops and is growing rapidly
in public favor. As described in
Farmers Bulletin 1913, "TlIe 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 v~ariously 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 20
moistening the soil to a given depth
as it advances toward the lower end.
Crops Suited for irrigation.
1t seldom pays, it is said, to prepare
q field for the border method for n
crop. The method is well adapted TO
the irrigation Of alfalfa, clover and
other forage crops, as well as all
grains, ana the forage crops may De
rotated with the grains without mod
flying the method. II is also possible
TO irrigate potatoes, sugar beets and
other rowed and cultivated crops by
making a slight change in the borders,
so that the latitude as TO rotation Is
rather wide.
The most favorable soil for borders
is a free-working loan several feet
deep, underlain by a more or less i'm
pervious subsoil. As the sheet of wa
ter flows down each strip. the peryious
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 as well as the top
layer Of soil is porous. not because

600 hens were culled. That this Gull

following figures: 10 birds were culled
from a flock of "a, and in the

The number OF poultry wne In

Texas 5000, many of whom afterward
culled tsleir own flocks. The estimated
savings represent only a part of the
total value of this work. As a result

Across the entire front extends a
wide, open porch, an ideal recreation

weather and cool evenings. In the
summer il can be screened in to keep

The front door opens into a small

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 as compared
with that required for most other
methods IL the physical conditions are
favorable. At the same time il is usu-
ally feasible to obtain a fair crop at
small DIST 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 a
slope ia one direction OF about 2.5
inches to the hundred feet may be re-
garded as ideal for the border method
Of irrigation. 1t Is possible { o make
borders on slopes one inch or less to
the hundred feet and on sleeper slopes
up to 2 feet and more per hundred.
Borders have been used on slopes as
great as IN feet TO the hundred feet,
but extra are must then be taken to
prevent soil and crop erosion.
The smOunt 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 nsed may be reduced to half
a cubic foot a second or from 20 to
% miners inches, and in wide, long
strips 10 cubic feet a second may be
none too large. A large volume Of
water cannot be handled successfully
On steep slopes. but IL is always pos
sible to divide a head between two or
more compartments.
