Fear Extinction Of Chamois.

Extinction of chamois in the noun
tains Of Savoy in Italy and Switzer-
land, is threatened, just as the buffalo
disappeared from the western Ameri-
can prairies. and animal lovers there
are preparing 10 petition their govern
ments, demanding the protection Of
the chamois. An investigation Of the
Grenoble district showed that the war
was responsible for the new devasta-
ton Of the chamois. Before the war
only a few mountaineers took out
hunting licenses. In fact, compare
lively few Of them could bear the ex-
pense Of buying a good rifle. After
the armistice, however. thousands Of
veterans returning 10 the Savoy noun
tains took with them rifles and good
supplies Of ammunition. which proved
useful in combating the increasing
cost Of living. So general has hunting
now become In the mountains that
departmental officials say that unless
these nimble animals are protected for
ar least two years they viii become ex-
tinct inside of 20 years.

MAY BE BONES OF PRIESTESS
Skeleton Found Near Smoking Crater
Of kiIauea Believed to Be Last
Of Her Order.

The skeleton of a woman, believed
that of the last Of the priestesses of
the Hawaiian fire goddess Pele. whose
traditional home was in the Kilauea
volcano on the island Hawaii was
found recently in a carefully prepared
crypt not far from the smoking crater.
The tomb was found in the weSsega
sector OF the main wall of the great
outer crater Of kilauea, where once
stood a great temple dedicated to
Hiiake. the sister of the goddess Pele.
Nothing now remains of this temple.
The last occasion upon which it ap-
peared in history was when ii was
visited by the Princess Kapiolani in
1924, when the royal Hawaiian Chris
tian journeyed 70 the volcano for the
purpose of uttering defiance to Pele.
The journey formed the motif Of n
of Alfred Lord Tennyson's poems. Lo-
cal tradition says that the princess
was met at the crater rim by a hag-
gard priestess-the last Of her line
who came from her abode in the
ruined temple neal by and made one
last attempt 10 overawe the princess
and to appeal TO her fear Of the super
natural.
The tomb. believed TO be hat Of
this priestess, was discovered immedi-
ately below the site Of the temple.
The position Of the bones indicated
that she had been buried in a sitting
position. with her back propped
against the wall, with her head placed
so thai her sightless eyes We're In line
with a small oritice Immediately In
front Of her and in q direct l'ne with
the mile-distant fire pit of the volcano.

WHEAT PRODUCTION
The Influence of Soil Management il
the Red River Valley by r.. l..
WaIster, Aeronomist, N. Oak.
Ayr. EXP. Station.

Wheat production declines under
continuous cropping. The competition
Of weeds principally wild oats and
french weed) and the inroads of black
stem rust have been the major limit
ing factors In wheat production on
the Fargo clay during the past eight
years. The extent to which this soil
or any other soil may be expected
to respond to any fertilizer or amend
ment cannot be measured when weeds
or plant disease prevent maximum
yields. DiseaSe-resistant varieties of
wheat should be substituted for dis
eaSe-susceptible varieties in fertilizer
trials that are aimed to discover
chemical deficiencies in the soil.
The use Of farm manure in
a continuous grain culture system
does not raise production, largely
because Of the serious com
petition of weeds. Rotation culture
alone has raised wheat yields on
the Fargo clay 81 bushels per acre
during the past 8 years; the use of
from 8 TO IL tons of fresh stable
manure applied once in four years
has returned a further increase of
% bushels; and supplementary treat
ment with either acid phosphate or
steamed bone meal once in four years
has added still another bushel. To
summarize: Wheat under rotation cul.
ture, the soil treated with manure and
phosphate fertilizer. has yielded over
40 per cent more than unmanured
wheat land under continuous culture.
Rotation alone has raised the yield
over 20 per cent; and manure has
returned an average annual increase
Of II per cent over that Of rotation
alone.
In a four-year rotation of potatoes,
wheat. clover and barley with crop
residues (barley straw, wheat straw
and second crop of ~clover) returned
to the soil, the addition of phosphorus
increased the yield I.96 per cent as
an eight-year average. In a four-year
rotation of corn, wheat, clover and
oats. with n returned q pound
Of fresh manure returned for every
pound of produce removed) supple
mentary treatment with the same
amount of phosphates increased the
yield only 4.01 per cent as an eight
year average.
AS an average of four rust-free
years phosphate increased the yield
Of wheat 3!07 bushels 10 the acre or
11.3 per cent where crop residues were
returned. AS an average Of the same
four years phosphorus increased the
yield Of wheat 1.02 bushels or 30
per cent where manure was returned.
The actual yields Of wheat have always
averaged higher under the manure
system than under the crop residue
system.

OUR WHEAT SOIL
NEEDS PHOSPHATES
A Profitable Crop Depends Upon Good
Seed, a Fertile Soil and Clean
Farming.

Nearly all of the spring wheat land
Of the small grains almost continu-
ouSly since ii was first broken up. The
result is that it is poor in humus and
plantfoOd and the soil is in poor phys
ical condition, some of it SO poor that
a good crop can no longer be obtained.
The very best way to correct this
condition is to grow wheat in rOta-
ton with other crops, especially le-
gumeS or grass crops. All the ma
nure available should be added to the
soil.
Experiments conducted in Kansas
show that on land where wheat had
been grown continually for ten years,
that the yield was but 60 per acre,
but that when 212 tons Of manure
was added annually, the yield was 1874.
When a legume was added in a
three-year rotation with corn, the 212
ons of n per acre used, the yield
was increased to 25.6. In the same Sc
rieS Of experiments conducted for 10
Years tH lCINAS NlClS plOolh SloSS'
corr and wheat were alternated with
five IONS of manure, every third year,
the yield was increased to 37.2.
The rotation TO be recommended for
your farm should have a cultivated
crop and a legume for every two grain
crops, as a general thing. But this
is not always possible, so you will
have 70 work out the best rotation for
your case according to conditions.
Every farmer ought TO try at least
a little acid phosphate to convince
himself whether or not ii will be
profitable. If the soil is deficient in
phoSphates, the time will come when
this fertility will have to be restored
and ii is much better to begin before
the fertility is exhausted.

ish TO keep the ten cents.
People are always asking me why
| don't quit tobacco, and I've always
noticed that the people who regard
my little innocent habit with disgust,
have worse ones Of their own. Why
don't you quit wearing sidewhiskers,
when you must know that they jar
the nerves of the %fastidious. and make
you look like something that should
be in a museum? What sense is there
in wearing Sideboards? I'd be the
last 70 speak slightingly Of an infrm-
ity or deformity. If you had a game
leg or wry neck, my heart would be
full of sympathy for you. Such attic
tions should not be Knocked or held
up to scorn by any man; but nobody
needs to wear sidewhiskers. It's some
thing that car easily be helped. You
shouldn't make caustic remarks about
the tobacco habit until you have had
those fire escapes removed.
"Old Doolittle asks me about three
times a week what pleasure I find in
using tobacco. | have explained the
matter to him repeatedly, but nothing
say seems to make any impression
on him. He clings to the belief that
smoking is on a level with robbing a
church or defraudlng a widow.
He doesn't use tobacco, but he has
about every other bad habit you can
think of. When it comes to spelling
the truth he could give cards and
spades to the whole Ananias family.
l try to be reasonably truthful. l never
spring a fish story unless it will serve
a good purpose. But Doolittle will
go TO all sorts Of trouble 10 hand you
a falsehood. If he says he has the
toothache, you may rest assured it's
a sprained ankle that's b~othering him.
l contend that it's worse to sit on
the truth and hold it down than it is
to load a good old briar and blow out
q few reams Of smoke.
Aunt Julia is always l~ecturing me
about the tobacco habit. l have said
1t a hundred times, and I say il again,
that my aunt is all wool and a yard
wide, and you would travel far before
finding a better female, but If you
think she has no bad habits you have
another guess coming. Two or three
years ago she read some English So
ciety novels. Those stories are full
Of tea parties. A man reading them
would think the Britishers spent all
their time at tea fights.
Aunt Julia thinks that anything
British is entirely proper. and she got
the idea that you can't be fashionable
unless you consume a certain amount
Of tea. So she blew herself for the
herb. and began drinking it. At first
she said 1t tasted like collie medicine.
but she ~persevered, and now she's the
champion middle weight tea drinker
Of this burg. 1 won't say anything
about the money it costs. She insists
upon having imported tea, and won't
be satisfied with any home grown sub
stitutes, although sage tea is far bet
ter and costs next to nothing.
"She gets Of a tea jag every time
she has company, and then for two or
three days she has a hangover, and her
nerves are a sight to be seen, and
just wish you had to live in the same
house with her at such times. Then
you would be willing to admit that
there are worse things than smoking
Talking, for instance" sighed the
professor.
