Agricultural Squibs

Dig a few dandelions out for your
chickens. Green feed is good for them.
Limestone and incubation are two
requirements for success with sweet
clover.
1t requires about the same prepare
ton to make a good lawn as it does
a worthwhile vegetable garden.
The larger second growth of red
clover Is of particular advantage as
it comes at a time when pasture is
badly needed.
Anyone who has hauled manure
mixed with long corn stalks knows
how much trouble the stalks are With
the silo there is no such waste.
Seedlings of alfalfa made before the
first week of August gave much better
results than those made after that
time on experimental plots a the Wis.
consin station.
Fresh, tender lettuce is real treat
in August. And it can be raised sue
cessfully in the hottest weather if it
can be shaded and watered heavily
every other day.
The silo preserves the whole crop,
stalks and ALL in best form Cor feed
ing, whether corn, sorghum or kafir,
so that hardly any of the food value
of the plant is lost.
Dried mud on boots, wagons and
farm machinery may be dropped about
the farm. The mud is likely to hold
weed seed which will grow with the
first set of favorable conditions.
Careful shocking and stacking of
barley is an important factor in Sc
curing good quality grain for market.
The seed will be discOlored and is apt
to sprout if left in the stack too long.
In preparing hay for market or use
on the farm, 1 much higher percent
age of the valuable leaves can be
saved if the hay is baled. as the loss
of leaves by successive landings Of
the loose ma is avoided.
Producers who are handling heavy
poultry breeds will find that it will
often pay better to carry their cocker
els on to weight of three and one
half to five pounds. They will then
be classed as roasters ON the market

Ride He Will Remember

A passenger embarking in a Vienna
Salzburg commercial plane in Austria
was carried upside down over the city
when his foot became entangled in the
rods of the plane as it was taking off.
Rockets were fired to attract the at
tention of the pilot to the plight of
his dangling passenger. The plane de-
scended and the passenger was taken
off unhurt, but unconscious.

The success Of the dirigible in re-
sisting unfavorable weather condi-
tions was praised by the papers
which said that she had gained all
her set objectives and from seien-
tific as we'll as aeronautical stand
point, amply justified the faith of
her supporters.
Popolo Di Roma notes that be-
tween Spitzbergen and the Franz
Josef archipelago, the Italia found
no trace of land. showing that the
mythical ellis land as well as
Croker Land which Peary thought
he saw. did not exist.
However. the Italia's crew was
able to establish the presence Of a
vast zone of open sea TO the NORTH
east of the Franz Josef group at 81
degrees north longitude and another
space Of open water near Nicholas
III Land" says the paper, declaring
that this is enough to constitute a
revolution in arctic geography.
The newspaper says that where
Mobile went beyond the Russian ex-
ploration of Nicholas II Land IN 1915

length of the region and should Ue
able TO determine whether il IS one
great island or an archipelago. The
precise determination Of this was
one Of the objectives Of the Italian
expedition.
Satisfaction was expressed tha.

explorer, Francesca Querino, who
met death in the region during the

persons seriously injured, and prop

million dollars filtered in slowly to-
day from scattered sections of North

their home was demolished, many
persons were less seriously hurt. but
loss Of life was prevented BY recourse

An aviator, Ray Siflet, who flew
over the storm area OF southern
Oklahoma, reported that several fam
lilies were marooned on a small island
in the Salt Fork branch of the Red
river which at places was five miles
wide. Plans were laid to send food TO

Tuesday for information that would
give some clue 70 Johns where
Abouts.
Three different stories Bruno has
told, each story starting n renewed
search and inspiring new hope in
the breasts OF Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley
Pyrek who today were reported near
collapse from uncertainty over their
sons fate.
Bruno's first story led to a general
order from the Northwestern Rail-
road company offices for search
Of all boxcars on its system. The
missing boy, according 20 Bruno, had
been locked in a car which later was
hauled away by a freight train.
Then Bruno said John had been
buried in a sand slide at a gravel
yard where they were playing. Act
ing on this tip scores of men and
two steam shovels worked all yester-
day moving 10000 tons of sand, only
70 find their efforts wasted.

led in the sand after all" said
Bruno, who had watched the. steam
shovels attack the pile all day long
II think he fell in tire river"
They took Bruno TO the river, and
he pointed to "the exact spot" where
he said his playmate sank out OF
sight" Police made plans to start
dragging the river today. They ad-
mitted, however. considerable aggra-
vation and decided that all other
methods having failed they would
keep the boy prisoner a while. Pleas
Of distracted parents, cajollery
candy, tickets TO amusement parks
the kindly questioning BY priests
all have failed to bring from Bruno
a positive clue.
Today they were to play their
last card. Bruno's mother was to
take him to see Mrs. Pyrek. He was
to be shown. the missing boys play
things and clothes. Through two
mothers love il was hoped Bruno
would tell what really happened
where his little playmate is-and
whether he lives or is dead.

BOYS TOGO

them is that they secure a new
subscriber to The Herald be-
fore Saturday morning.
Most of the boys already have
qualified for the trip. Possibly
the boy who delivers you paper
has not. Maybe you could help
him by telling him where he
could secure that subscriber. IL
you buy the paper daily possibly
you could assure a trip to the
park for some boy by becoming
a subscriber.
The boys are to enjoy all the
facilities of the park, including

ness of the Nehi Bottling Co,
they are to have all the cold

LYNNVILLE, Ind, Jan. 20.-Gold
seekers are starting from this town
for expeditions into the hills of
northern Warrick County, spurred
by the finding Of nuggets by George
Lutz, Boonville grocer, in the craws
Of two hens he was dressing.
One party was led by Howard An
derSon, prospector and Indian curio
collector. A visit was paid to the
farm Of of DR.. G. o. Wilde, former
Boonville druggist, who twenty-five
years ago found gold here. Ander-
sons party discovered no trace of
the yellow metal. Wilde found some
gold, but not in paying quantities.
He disposed of his takingS to the
United States mint at Philadelphia,
Pa.
William Koutz was the leader of
another party into the hills near the
Wilde farm. Koutz declares that
some day the mother lode will be
discovered and will bring rush
"that will make the days of 40 in
California look like funeral pro-
cession."
Lynnville hotel men and restau-
rant proprietors are cashing in
these days. sThe gold talk has
brought many strangers into the
town,
