USE The TRENCH
FOR IRRIGATION
Scheme Conserves Water and
Labor-Best Way to Reach
Roots of Plants.

The proper amount of moisture Is
about as essential as enough warm
sunshine, to produce good garden
crop. Too much moisture is worse
than too much sunshine, for in the
latter case the soil can be loosened,
conserving what moisture the ground
holds.

that he Is doing just the right thing.
Perhaps more young plants are de-
stroyed by shooting cold spray OF
water on them than are killed or
stunted by drought, or other reason.
One splendid method of watering a
garden, when sufficient water Is avail
able, and It's metered cost is not to
be considered, is the trench irrigation
plan. Small bitches, three or four
inches deep, along the plants, with a
steady stream Of water slowly run
ming into the ditch, will be highly
beneficial, and at the same time con-
serve the water supply, by not send
Ing 1t where 1t Is not needed. The
roots, especially in the dry weather,
search for moisture and continue
their downward growth. Long roots

All herbs delight in a rich, mellow

DIPPING FOLLOWS SHEARING
Ticks Are Common and Interfere With
Thrift Of Sheep-Treat Lambs
Well az Ewes.

Ticks are still too common and are
the cause of great loss by interfering
with the thrift Of the sheep. Most
sheep growers follow the practice Of
dipping soon after shearing In order
to get rid Of the ticks. Prof. @. w.
Hickman Of the university's animal
husbandry department says that It IL
necessary to dip the lambs as well az
the ewes, because the ticks tend to
leave the older sheep for the lambs.
Any standard creosote dip will serve
the purpose. 1t pays 10 do good
Job and see that every part Of the an

should be examined In two to three
weeks and II ticks are found another
