But there are two sides to the wind break question. Some prairie farmers declare positively that belts of osage orange, for instance, are a nuisance. Others cite figures to show positive benefit.

Western Pacific railroad engineers think that the east and west end of the track of the new line will meet and be connected near Beckwith pass, which is at the summit of the Sierras. This will take place some time next summer, according to present expectations. I. O. Austin, an aeronaut, who has been making ascensions from the Salt Palace grounds in Salt Lake City, landed in a tree one day last week while making a parachute jump and fell to the ground a distance of fifty feet, being badly bruised but not seriously hurt.

So far as fees are concerned, homestead entries paid the least. Activity in the state campaign is just commencing in Utah. The Republicans have fixed the date of the state convention for September 15, and the place Salt Lake. The Democrats will nold their convention early in September, probably a week earlier than the Republicans. Initial plans for one of the most thoroughgoing advertising campaigns in the history of central Utah were adopted at a meeting of the Commercial club of Sanpete, Sevier and Piute counties held at Salina. The campaign is to begin with the publication of an attractive booklet. iffck fI f .'V - I t ,0' S a i?

It will at least collect such facts never before brought together. The work will be done by the United States forest service. In some states the agricultural experiment stain the studies, tions will and in these cases the forest service will provide the necessary apparatus, and the other expenses will be shared half and half by the government and experiment stations. The investigations will be taken up in five states this year and extended to the other nine as rapidly as the investigations are completed. Four of the states in which the study will be made this year are Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas. The fifth will be either Minnesota, North Dakota or Iowa. Ultimately the Investigations will cover Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Texas, New is Mexico, Utah, California, Washington and Idaho. The sudden ruin that hot wind3 sometimes bring to growing crops in parts of the west are well known. Blowing strongly across the unobstructed plains, these winds may in a few days blast all hope of even a partial harvest. This 1b particularly in the lower portion of the central plains region, and in years of unusually low rainfall. Here the winds most to be feared blow from the southwest or south. In the northern prairie region the former is exposed to the hot Chinook wind, which Bweeps down from the Canadian mountains. This either dries out growing crops or, if it prevails before the danger of killing frosts is past, causes loss through urging vegetation forward prematurely. Cold winter winds also do great Injury to crops, make the climate more severe for stock and men, and interfere with an even covering of snow upon the ground. This is true from Canada almost to the gulf. In southern California, dry winds from the north and northeast sweep down from the Mojave desert with de- - that the wind-brea- See The D. D.

It is the only Practices Law occupies sufficient k land to offset this benefit. The forest service proposes to find out just when and how much windbreaks increase the yield of crops. To carry out the plans, much technical woik will be necessary. Instruments will be used to measure heat and cold, moisture and dryness, both above and below ground; to register the force of the wind near the wind breaks and some distance away; to measure light intensity, and take note of the effects of shade; to register frost at different distances from the trees; and to keep account of the ef on the snow feet of the which covers the ground to leeward in winter. Many other measurements and tests will be made, and elaborate data will be collected by experts who will have charge of the study. Corn will be the crop studied behind the wind break this year. Trustworthy conclusions cannot be obtained by comparing results from different crops. Each crop makes its own demand upon the soil, so that what would destroy one might do little harm to another. Corn is a particularly good crop to experiment with because it is easily Injured by hot, dry winds, will not stand shading, and is very sensitive to frost. The instruments and apparatus for each state will be read weekly by persons assigned to that duty by the agricultural experiment stations In the respective states. The whole work will be in charge of an expert for the forest service, at Washington, who will be assisted this summer by three or four persons, also from the forest service, ho will study general conditions in the states under investigation, in regard to the effects of wind-break- s wind-break- s on crops. The work will continue until crops aro gathered next fall, when the actual yield of sheltered fields will be measured, and results compared with near-bunsheltered fields. Some of the observations will continue through the winter.

Utah County Democrat1 LEADING SHOEMAKER It It Is very difficult to find a good market for well matured and nicely dressed poultry, but the poor and ill conditioned stuff goes slow and at the same time helps to drag down the stock. In passprices of all ing the large city markets I have often wondered where all this poorly prepared poultry comes from and where it went to. There is one thing certain, the one who produces it loses money on it if his feed cost him anything at all, for at the present prices for grain no farmer can afford to grow a chicken up and sell it at the prices this class brings on the market. There is no profit in trying to fatten a chicken or fowl that has once been stunted, for it will require as much corn to fatten this one as it would to fatten two thrifty birds, and in the end it will be tough and stringy. More careful attention should be given to the dressing, packing and shipping of poultry by farmers than is generally given. Uniformity is one great thing with market poultry, and generally the most salable is the um-sized birds having a plump and first-clas- s 123 N.

WABTED-- Coal Oil Used Alone Is Too Severe a Treatment Coal oil alone is little used for scaly leg. It is too severe a treatment. Coal oil with raw linseed oil is very commonly used, and is an excellent remedy much more easily applied than anything that has to be rubbed in. Sulphur and lard, or even lard alone, is good. Whether It is better than coal oil and linseed oil, I can not say. The latter mixture certainly is efficacious and very easily applied. For the former a half and half mixture is good. If more time can be taken, use about two parts linseed to one part coal oil. If you are in & hurry, take a stiff old toothbrush, and rub off as much of the scale as can be taken off readily in this way, then dip legs to the hock in the oil. If you are not, says Farm Poultry, at intervals of a few days go through the affected flock at night, and dip the feet of every hen, holding her nith feet in the oil just an Instant, letting the oil drip from the feet Into the pail an instant more, then replacing her on the roost I T0WI tft a sample Latest Model bicycle by us.
