SCHOOL GROWTH
 PACKS BUILDING
Q7rom Fraay'R Dany) Population of Prescott and Vic inity Increases, as Shown by Crowded Conditions at Miller Valley; Verde Schools.

Indications that Prescott and its Ienvirons are increasing in population are not lacking, in the view of the city and county school authorities Rapid growth of the Prescott school population during the past three or four years will make necessary the construction ofR new school in south Prescott, upon plans for which a Phoenix firm of architects is now working; and it IS probable that within the next year the county school at Miller valley will have to be enlarged or altered to accommo- date the constantly growing school population of that district
 School Crowded
 There are now between 60 and 70 pupils in the Miller Valley school, it was reported yesterday by Mrs. Ward H. Wheeler, county superin- tendent, upon her return from visit to various schools in the county. The snug building at Miller valley is tax ed to its capacity by its classes, and there are but two teachers, Miss Mary McEachren, principal, and Mrs. L. F. Hinzman, to instruct them. Mrs. Wheeler believes that another year will find the Miller valley dis trict faced with demand for in creased school facilities.
 Among other schools visited in the county. this week, Mrs. Wheeler found that at Red Rock that school building, housing Is pupils, has been newly painted inside and out by the people of the district.
 Build New School
 To accommodate children living across Upper Oak creek, a new ac- commodation school has started, called the Wyncoop school. A new building was put up by MT. Fry. one of the residents, to accommodate the  Y children Of the district who would otherwise have been without school facilities
 The schools at Clemenceau and Willard were found to be i'll good condition. Miss Florence A. Bab- cock is principal at Clemenceau and Miss Helen Shaper at Willard High water in Oak creek has made going to school difficult, but there has been only slight drop in attendance during the storm, which has also made it difficult for the county su- perintcndent to get around to the schools.

Whole System Is
Benefited by
Tanlac

Thousands Of frail, nervous people
and convalescents everywhere have
testified to the remarkable power Of
Tanlac in bringing back their health,
strength and working efficiency. It
seems to quickly invigorate the consti-
tuition, and is q powerful foe Of weak
ness. Mrs. George G. Owen, Of Salem,
Oregon, says:
"My nerves were upset and the little
I ate wasn't enough to keep up my
strength. 40 lost weight and became
so weak 1t seemed had no energy at
all. Tanlac restored my health COM
pletely, and gained twelve pounds in
weight"
There is not single portion Of tho
body that Is not benefited by the help
ful action of Tanlac. It enables the
stomach to turn food into healthy
blood, bone and muscle, purifies the
system and helps you back to normal
weight. Get bottle today at any

CONSERVING HAY IN MANGER
Horse With Chronic Habit Of Messing
Out Feed Under His Feet 10
Decided Nuisance.

A neighbor once owned horse with
q chronic habit of nosing most Of the
hay out Of the manger and under his
feet as soon as it had been thrown
down. An animal with this trait Is
both nuisance and useless expense.
Alfalfa, clover and some other hays
are not so easily removed, but wild hay
can be easily tossed out.
This farmer resorted to simple
means to stop this annoyance. A green
log about four inches in diameter was
cut short enough to drop into the
manger without touching either of the
feed boxes.
This was supported, when outside,
by two ropes, each tied through the
halter-rope holes and around one end
of the log. After the manger has
been filed the log is thrown into it.,
onto the hay. There is plenty Of room
for the horse to eat, yet there is no
possibility Of the feed being thrown
out. The device cured the animal
mentioned of his bad habit in about
four weeks.

of farm manure or little heterogeneous
fertilizer is desirable. Care is neces-
sary In supplying heterogeneous mate
rial to buckwheat, however, as the
crop is subject to lodging, particularly
In seasons Of abundant rainfall.
Phosphoric Acid Needed.
Like the true cereals, buckwheat re-
spends to liberal application of phos-
phoric acid. This is particularly true
in New York, since the soils of the
buckwheat section are universally de-
fieient in phosphorus. 1t also seems
to respond to potash. This is to be ex-
pected, since the poorest soils have
been drained of their available potash.
While the total supply Of potash is
adequate, soils seeded to buckwheat
are often those which have not been
well treated in the past, and as re-
suit not only has the organic matter
been depleted, but at the same time
the rate at which the potash becomes
available has been much retarded.
Lime is not needed, since buckwheat Is
tolerant of soil acidity.
To Fertilize This Season.
Taking all of these factors into con-
sideration as well as fertilizer costs,
the prime essential in the fertilization
Of buckwheat this season Is an appli-
cation of 200 to 400 pounds to the
acre of acid phosphate. the soils work
ers at the New York State College of
Agriculture say. On very thin soils.
where manure is not available, in adj
dition to the acid PHOSPHATE so to 100
pounds of nitrate of soda or sulphate
Of ammonia, and 25 to so pounds Of
muriate Of potash may be used.

HANDLING OF GUMBo SOILS
Effective Methods Being Developed by
Farmers on Milk River RecIa-
nation Project.

More effective methods Of handling
gumbo soils are being developed by
some of the farmers on the Milk River
reclamation project in Montana, says
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture. One conclusion is that in
irrigating this kind Of soil the water
should be applied frequently and in
small quantities. Much trouble In get
ting crops started may be overcome by
adopting regular habit of fall plow-
ing. The seeding Of such soils to Ell
Their yellow or white sweet clover in
some cases is proving a means of sup
plying humus and for getting grain or
alfalfa started later.

After the alfalfa crop has been cut
for hay, hogs or other stock should
not be turned In too soon. The
crowns Of the plant are likely to be
injured If the stock is given a chance
to eat the young tender shoots too
closely. Often this close feeding per-

NITROGEN IS BIG ESSENTIAL
Care Must Be Exercised In Applying

Since buckwheat is considered a
poor land' crop, it will survive and
often give fair return on land too
poor for corn, oats and clover, many
farmers have discovered.
Buckwheat requires considerable nj
trogen for its maximum growth. Even
though its period of growth comes at
