FOB DRY FARMING
Cart Be Praotlced Where Water
Is Not Available.
REQUIRES MUCH PATIENCE.
in Miaseuri, In Orought of 1914, Un of
Dry Farming Methods by Only Part
of Firnuri Largely Inereased Ylold
ef Corn Par Acra aa Camparad With
That af 1101.
Washington.—With the burden of
supplying ti» world's wirtime crop
facing thl« country, the committee on
statistic! and standards of tb« Chamber
of Commerce of the United States has
called attention to the possibilities
of dry farming. Such methods, If is
declared, can be made to fit the re
quirements for raising many of our
most important products. Dry farm
ing Is said to be the only form of agri
culture which can be successfully prac
ticed in any region where water Is not
available for irrigation and where
ralnfaU Is sot sufficient for humid
farming.
The Inherent purpose of dry farming,
It is pointed out, Is to conserve moi*-,
ture In the soil until needed for grow
lng plants. The dry fanner resorts to
methods ot timely and proper cultiva
tion, harrowing, disking and plowing,
to increase the penetration of water,
prevent evaporation and store mois
ture In the soil for the benefit of the
plants.
"Dry farming Is not an easy Job, nor
Is the lot of the farmer In the semi
arid regions any happier at times than
that of the policemen in the "Pirates
of Penzance,'" says Archer Wan Doug
las of St Louis, chairman of the na
tional commerce committee. "It Is a
business requiring much Industry, pa
tience, fortitude and Intelligent under
standing of the surrounding conditions.
Likewise in the beginning tt needs
some reserve capital against emergen
cies* For there are years when, through
weeks, even months, of rainless heat,
the sky Is as brass and the earth as
iron underneath, and rainfall only a
distant memory.
"let persevered in anu mcenigenuy
stuck to, It la apt to record a success
and to furnish a great need for the
utilization of the vast area of semi
arid country. Once exploited as a
panacea, then denounced as a fad, It
has at last come Into its own a* an In
telligent scientific form of agriculture,
absolutely essential to the development
of a large section of oer country."
Of particular interest In meeting war
time conditions la the argument that
dry farming methods are applicable
not only to farming In the semlarld,
but likewise humid regions in times of
drought. In Missouri in the drought
of 1914 the use of dry farming methods
by only a part of the farmers largely
Increased the yield of corn per acre, as
compared with similar conditions in
1901.
TRAINING FLEET FOR LAKES.
Eastland, From Which Many Livss
Wto Lett, Will B« Flagship.
Great Lakes, III.—A fleet of training
ships shortly will be sailing the great
lakes. It was announced at the United
States naval training station here.
Captain W. A. Moffett, commandant,
has planned the mobilization of a num
ber of vessels mounting guns ranging
from one pounders to six inch pieces.
Hie fleet will serve to train recruits
passing through the training station
here, which has been greatly expanded
since the outbreak of war, in addition
to protecting lake cities.
The steamer Eastland, which turned
over In the Chicago river In 191B with
a loss of 812 lives and which is now
being rebuilt as a gunboat, will be the
flagship. Other vessels In the fleet
will be two of the former Spanish gun
boats which were captured by Dewey
at Manila bay.
SLACKERS NOT WANTED.
But Thi» Ona Enlisted After He
Changed His Name.
Newark, N. J.—A. heavy set young
man walked into the army recruiting
office here and told the officers in
charge he wanted to enlist
"What's your name?" asked the lieu
tenant.
"Slacker," was the reply.
"Nothing doing," shot back the offi
cer. "We don't want any slackers here."
The man later explained that he was
Andrew Slacker of Mlddletown, Sussex
county, N. J., and that be wanted to
break off diplomatic relations with his
name.
He was accepted.
QUE8TI0N8 ASKED IN

comparatively few subjects.
Here they are: The name In full,
the age In years, the home ad
dress, the date of birth, the
quality of citlienshlp, natural
born, naturalised or the condi
tion of declaration of Intention;
the place of birth, trade, occupa
tion or office, employment and by
whom employed, dependents if
any, married or single, race, for
mer military service and where

MARKET BASKETS.
Wartim* Moaturat About D«llv*eiM of
Grocarlss.
If you see anybody generous with
food wrappings and string then# days
you may be sure It is not the owner of
a food business. Many employees, feel
ing no responsibility, continue to be as
lavish as of old with bag and twins,
but a small dealer almost wept when a
customer offered to take home a grape
fruit in her basket without a wrapping.
"What! Ton would save me a cent I"
be exclaimed.
Some grocers will ask yon if they
shall deliver your purchases, which
may number half a dozen or more, but
they will not let you have a big bag to
take them home in. l'ou ask, "The big
bag costs less than delivery, doe® it
not?" "Yes, but we have to pay for
the delivery anyway." Not willing to
drop the subject, you say, "You ought
to charge everybody 5 cents for each
delivery." The grocer replies: "But
that would not pay for what It costs
us. Our wagons cost us $150 a month."
Of course the grocer adds this cost to
our foods, and he allows a safe mar
gin. Those who are willing to carry
goods home pay equally with those who
do not Customers could work a change
In one week if they all chose the mar
ket basket way.
The "cash and carry" stores have
lately displayed conspicuously a basket
with a price mark, 6 cents. Btout and
handsome baskets, which will last
years, may be bought for less than $L
How much more sensible it is to use
these than to buy paper at present
prices, which is used but once I We
eannot expect market development to
be so one sided a thing as most of us
have allowed It to be to the great ex
pense of our pocketbooks. We have
gone to silly lengths In the free de
livery system.
Don'ts For Mother*.
A writer In a recent issue of Mother's
Magazine gives some very pertinent
advice to mothers In regard to their at.
tltude with their children. She says in
part: "Don't think that the moment
70a are alone with your boy or girl
you must find fault or endeavor to Im
prove the occasion by a little moraliz
ing, no matter in how loving a spirit
fhls la a hard don't, for no one is so
anxious to help a child toward perfec
tion as is the parent, yet K sxirely leads
to an avoidance of the moments alone
together, which should b® Umes of
happy confidences.
"Neither should a parent correct the
child before others. Never mtnd if a
well meaning relative does say, 'My
dear, I am surprised that you do not
show more force of character! your
children are suffering from a lack of
discipline.' Pass the matter over till
you and the small offender can hare it
out alone. If the circumstances are
such that it cannot be passed over take
him out of the room."
Saving Gas.
A gas saver and comfort in cooking
on gas stoves is to place a sheet of
sine or sheet iron on top of the stove
the sbse of the stove top. One lighted
burner will heat the entire sheet and
serve to cook as many articles of food
as there is room for vessels. It also is
cleanly, protecting the stove from the
results of boiling over, and the sheet
is much easier cleaned than the sev
eral burners are when not so protected.

Provide Pasture and
Shade In Poultry Runs
It la necessary to have double runs to
keep the poultry yards sweet and sani
tary, according to H. L. Harris, super
intendent of the Kansas Btate Agricul
tural college poultry farm.
One of the yards should be plowed In
the early spring and seeded to oats.
These oats will furnish good succulent
pasture until the first of July. In this
period the other lot should be plowed
and Kaffir, cane or rape sown thickly.
This will furnish the necessary green
pasture from the time the oats are rlp^
uutll fall.
Some form of shade Is quite neces
sary to the best growth and health of
poultry. If trees are not available or
namental castor beans planted around
the fences are quite satisfactory. It Is
necessary to protect these from the
birds until they are a foot or so high,
after which they will rapidly grow out
of reach of the poultry.
Sunflowers are not satisfactory for
planting In the poultry lot, as they will
not furnish the proper amount of
shade. The poultry are fond of sun
flowers when the plants are young and
will quickly devour them.
