Through-the.wall installations,

Conservation Service.
Schneider built a waste ditch along
the bottom of neighbor'S adjoining
field to eliminate the ponding of water
above the wet field. This solved the
drainage problem on the field with a
high water table.
Annual Sequence
Schneider decided TO bring In new
land and improve the old fields i'm an
orderly annual sequence that he could
handle financially. This would give
him time to develop the new fields after
each major leveling job has been COM
pleted.
Schneider cleared the new fields OF
native brush. SCS engineers helped
to survey the fields and work out
grades and bitches that would help to
control erosion. Schneider hired local
contractors and from 1850 TO 1857

HARRY v. SCHNEIDER had been
looking at the sand dunes long time.
He kept wondering If they wouldn't
grow good crops if ne could just get
water on them.
The dunes were a part OF about 1856
acres of waste land on the Schneider
farm near Kane, Wyo. With about 5
inches average annual rainfall, Schnei-
der knew the area would never produce
much, unless It could be irrigated.
Water Available
Irrigation water was available from

to the southwest. Schneider helped his
neighborS work on the short canal each

be no trouble in getting plenty OF

The land needed other things, too.
These needs included disposal ways for
excess water. irrigation laterals and
structures, and practices to keep the
sandy soil from washing and blowing

Tbs Land Of Ours
BENTONITE--- Versatile Clay
By JESSE GREEN

BENTON1T.E Is ONE of the many
natural clays. H derives its name from
the geological series called the Fort
Benton" which is q typical group Of
strata in Montana and Wyoming. The
clay, ''Bentonite,' Is one Of the mem
bers of this group. There are several
variations among bentollite clays, de-
pending upon their origin and natural
influences during their formation.
The bentonites are believed to have
been deposited as volcanic ash which
blew out over our country from exten-
sdve volcanic action further west.
Wyoming seems to have been the CEN
ter OF the settling area in our region.
However, bentonite occurs n al the
surrounding states, especially South
Dakota and southern Montana BruIe

YOU use a cleaning method to
the particular lamp shade.
It is safe to wash shades
made of colorfast rayon or silk
that are sewed mot glued to
hon-rust frames. To do this.
Prepare a solution of luke

Ill large enough to hold the

solution until it is clean. Rinse

ect sunlight, but as rapidly as
possible.
Handpainted fabric shades
and those Of linen or chintz
Generally should be dry clean
I'd rather than washed.
Any shade that is glued must
be cleaned with great are. Gen
orally, it's safest to dip it with
a very soft cloth. Plastic shades
also may be cleaned by wiping
with a damp cloth.
Generally it's best to clean
parchment or paper shades with
a commercial wallpaper cleaner.
Frequent busting helps keep
shades clean. Remove the dust
with the busting attachment Of
your vacuum cleaner or with a
soft brush.

COTTON

If you did not apply as much
as so units of nitrogen per acre
on your cotton before planting
it would be wise to apply addi-
tional nitrogen as a side dress
ing Immediately in order that
your cotton will get the benefit
of your side dressing before
late summer and early fall.
In the delta area of Holmes
County the recommended rate
Of nitrogen is 9O-100 units per
acre. In the hill section of Hol-
mes County it is recommended
that we have from 60-80 units
of nitrogen per acre. If side
dressing is to be done the ferti-
lizer should be placed eight to
ten inches to one side of the
cotton and six to eight inches
deep so that the fertilized area
will not be disturbed during
cultivation.
