Little NotD Remains
of Old Oregon Trail

There still are traces of the old
Oregon trail to be found In south
western Wyoming, but as time
goes on, these are gradually being
obliterated. The original wagon
road over which prairie schooners Of
a bygone generation rumbled west
ward to their dream of empire still
can be traced; 1t runs for a dis
lance Of about one hundred miles
across southwestern Wyoming,
from the Big Sandy river at Pa
cffic Springs, to Cokesville, on the
Bear river, on the Idaho boundary.
The famous trail is now over
grown with sagebrush, so that, in
places, the wagon ruts can be dis
tinguished with difficulty. In many
sections, the barbed wire fences
across the ranches cross the trail,
and In the space that is left, only
an occasional sheep rancher's
wagon journeys. The new motor
road known as the Old Oregon
trail, while following the general
direction Of the original trail, be-
tween Granger and Cokesville,
thence across Oregon to Portland,
does not exactly coincide with the
original wagon road. - Missouri

John Wilkes Booth
a Confederate Spy?

Gen. Phil Sheridan always be-
Heved that at one time in the
Civil war he had In his employ
ment as spy John Wilkes Booth.
He had employed a man named
Tomas as spy. but suspected he
was dealing with each Of the oppos-
Ing armies. One day Tomas brought
q man to Sheridan and introduced
him as Mr.. Renfrew, who also
wished to serve as spy. Just
then Sheridan wished to have some
bridges destroyed and sent the two
men out on this mission. He Sc
cretly assigned a scout to watch
they. Their attempt failed, but
they had plausible explanations.
They were sent out again, after
Sheridan had taken pains to let
them know there was to be a big
fox chase on a certain date In
which many Of the officers were to
take part. 1t was q ruse to throw
the Confederates off their guard
when the spies should carry the re-
port to them. At the time men
toned Sheridan had planned to
strike hard. The men were shad-
owed and found to have gone to
Confederate headquarters. They
were arrested on their way back,
but escaped. When Sheridan saw
pictures Of Booth after Lincoln's
death, he recognized him as the spy

Weed Has High Rank
in Forces of Nature

Weeds are the wound dressers of
the soil. Whenever man or nature
makes scar, the vigorous, coarse
fibered weeds find out the spot and
straightway mend the injury. Hated
and much objurgated, the weed, Of
whatever breed, is one Of the most
useful forces Of nature. The farm
er regards it as a foe, the garden
er as a nuisance. In truth, it Is
a friend that persists, regardless
Of Ill treatment and attempts at
extirpation. Soil, to preserve its
strength, must be protected with
some sort of nature covering, other
wise the rains leach it, or wash
away the precious particles Of mold
that make it reproductive. Man
neglects this factor in his dealings
with the earth. Plowed fields are
allowed to go uncovered after the
crop is harvested. Washouts are
left to take care Of themselves. So
is burnt-over land. In all three in
stances, great damage results, and
much more would follow but for
the energy of the weed family

FARM
Plant Breeding Can
Be Studied At u July IL


Crop breeders of the University
of Minnesota are working for i'm
proved grains by making crosses
between varieties, each of which
excels in certain characters. On
Field Crops Day, Tuesday, July IL,
at University Farm, methods of
crossing will be demonstrated and
the principles by which new vari-
ties are obtained made clear. APP
proXimately 10 acres at University
Farm are sown to small grain
breeding nurseries; thousands of
individual row selections are being
grown. More than 20 acres of in
tensive experiments are planted to
corn in 1927 for study of the new
methods of breeding by controlled
pollination. .. .i...
Opportunity will also be given Wis

obtaining disease resistant varie-
ties of plants. Disease epidemic

Corn In Spots Hurt
By Lined Stalk Borer,

Already under a heavy handi-
cap, because of unreasonable
weather, many corn fields in the
vicinity of Preston in Fillmore
county, Utica in Winona county,
Lake City in Wabasha county, and
Rochester in Olmstead county
have been damaged from 5to 10
per cent by the lined stalk borer
which tunnels into and destroys
the heart of the young corn plant.
With visions of the European corn
borer before them, farmers have
been communicating with county
agents and with V. E. Nickel, en-
tomologist at University Farm.
Nothing can be done at this time
to control the pest, says Mr.. Mick
ell. Fall blowing will help some
because the moths usually lay their
eggs in grass lands i'm late summer
and early fall. The young larvae
overwinter in the sod. The larvae
now doing the damage have a vel
lowish white body about an inch
long. Two broad, brown stripes
down the back and another distinct
brown stripe along each side &C
count for the name given the pest.
Professor Nickel anticipates but
little further damage because the
larvae have about reached their
maturity.

Boy Helped Engineers

Theodore G.. Hulett, who super
vised the construction of the first
suspension bridge across Niagara,
relates that a premium of $40 was
offered to the first boy who should
successfully fly over the gorge his
kite string and fasten its ends to a
tree on either side. A boy named
Holman Walsh, a resident Of Lin
coin, Neb., was successful. The
following day a stronger line was
drawn over by the kite string, and
then rope Of sufficient strength
to haul over the iron cable. By
means of this rope the iron cable
was carried across and its ends Sc
cured to the solid rock. 1t crossed
