Teachers, on the other hand, would like to

teacher to correct all the disciplinary errors
that have been made at home Last fall a
mother brought her six-year-old to the first
grade in Tucson. Ariz., school, Gloomily,
she warned the teacher, He breaks windows,

Parents Undexnaine Teachers
Why do mothers and fathers throw up these
unconscious barriers to their childrens prog
ress in school? One answer is that parents
are frequently startled by the enormous
amount of influence friendly. inspiring
teacher can exercise over their children.
Many parents meet the challenge by at
tempts to undermine teachers authority

low 200 the alkah or soluble salt con-
tent Of the soil is not injurious.
The nitrogen content of this par
ticular sample may be OLA. This
figure again is about normal for
Montana soils, except for certain ir-
rigated crops.
The sample may show available
phosphorus of &c parts per million.
This is a trifle below normal.
When DR.. Hide obtains the cheni-
cal analysis of this soil he knows at .
a glance that there is not enough
alkah to injure crops, the acidity is
normal and that there is enough
nitrogen.
The Prescription
However, the analysis shows
shortage of phosphorus. Therefore,
on the basis of experience, experi-
ments and the soil analysis, DR.. Hide
will write the owner of the soil and
make this recommendation
Add so to rs pounds of super
phosphate per acre for dryland small
grains. Add 100 pounds per acre for
irrigated small grains and 200 pounds
per acre for irrigated alfalfa.
If the farmer grows sugar beets,
DR.. Hide probably would recommend
the addition of a nitrogen fertilizer.
A soil analysis is not made unless
it is accompanied by information
giving the name of the owner, date
of sampling, depth of sampling, num-
Der of samples taken and mixed and
many other facts. All Of these are
on an information blank which must
be filled out and sent in with each
sample. These blanks can be OBJ
tanned from any county agent.
Taking Soil Samples
There are certain definite meth
DDS by which the samples are taken.
Use shovel or an auger and take
the sample when the soil is dry. First
remove the trash. If the soil differs,
take samples from the good and
poor areas and mixed thoroughly.
Sample to depth of inches. If the
soil is heavily alkaline, take samples
at 6, Is and SO inches.
After the various samples are
taken, mix thoroughly then put into
one-pound coffee or other can.
Send it to the Department of Chem
istry Research, Montana Agricultural
Experiment station, Bozeman. Be
certain that the soils blank is com
pletely filled out and sent to the
same department.
A nominal charge of $3.50 is made
for each soil analysis.
Soil Testing Kits
In the older agricultural areas
there are soily testing kits which
farmers use. DR.. Frahm says these
kits have not been used enough il
Montana to establish standards.
The kits can be used satisfactorily
But, the farmer must first study tn,

one for my birthday and would
like to wear it to the Office, but
my mother thinks that it is too

Answer: The fact that your

DOG PROBLEM.

(Fron, Mrs. L. E. S., Washington.
Mrs. D. N. B.: Since the dog
is accustomed to being on the
furniture it is possible for you to
train him to get up on one only
and this one of your choosing.
All the dog wants is place where
he knows he can go and be un-
disturbed. so choose a rush bot
tom, Windsor or any reed chair
and fix mat with cover which
can be washed, and whenever the
dog attempts to get in anything
but this chair take him gently
and put him in his own chair.
The first few days of this will be
wearing on your patience but it
can be done. I also had a Persian
cat which was trained to go only
IN the chair set aside for it, and

Maj. Barrett Calls
On Businessmen 10
Lock Up al Night

Police Superintendent Robert j.
Barrett yesterday urged business
men to see that their establish
ments are securely locked before
departing at night.
An eight-month survey COM
pleted last month by the Metro
politan Police Department showed
5000 business places left doors or
windows unlocked.
In one instance, Maj. Barrett
said. the safe was found open as
we'll as the front door.
The police chief also urged local
residents to lock doors and win
dows before retiring.
Cars formerly at the disposal of
sergeants at the 9th, 9th, 18th and
14th precincts will be "deactivated''
as such, Maj. Barrett said, and
used solely as scout cars.
The sergeants will henceforth
check up on their patrolmen by
visiting the beats in cruisers or
afoot.
Effective today one scout car
will be used to cover both the
5th and 9th precincts in addition
to the two scout cars in each
precinct.
Using one car to operate over
the boundaries of two precincts
was started as an experiment six
months ago in the I'd and 18th
precincts. 1t has proved success
full, Maj. Barrett says.
