These warm daya are drying the
soil very rapidly and where one Is
to do Irrigation it la necessary that
water be applied immediately tor best
results. ...Water should applied
before there Is any indication of dry
ness, and thus not stop the growth
of plants and. require more , than
normal quantity ot water to get back
to the required stage of dampness.
At the same time one should be very
cautious about over-Irrigation, which
la Just as serious, or more so, than
under-lrrlgation. The danger of over
trrtgatloa la sandy soils Is that it
will leach out the valuable available
plants foods, while on the heavy soils
it results In water-logging and ac
cumulation of alkali. Water-logging
causes rotting off ot roots where they
have not already formed. A ahallow
rooting plant is not resistant to
drouth, whereas the main thing to
develop In any arid plant is a deep
rooting system that Is a drouth re
sistant With over-Irrigation the
crop yields are lower for each unit
of water used. More plant food Is
takes np by the plants tor each pound
of dry matter produced. The qual
ity ot crops Is reduced and there Is
a higher proportion ot plants In pro
portion of fruit or grain produced.
Extension of the Irrigated area Is
reduced and other dry land Is cheat
ed of Its Irrigation water. A perman
ent system of irrigation agriculture
depends on the economical use ot ir
rigation water. If we can save SO
per cent ot the water now used, It
will mean that we can , practically
double the Irrigable area.
A survey ot 300 farms In Lenawee
county, Michigan, indicates that the
farmers of southern Michigan keep
a horse, on an average, 8.5 years and
sell him for $18.68 less than he cost.
Similar studies In Pennsylvania In
dicate that the farmers in that dis
trict keep s horse, on an sversge,
12.1 years snd sell him for $29.34
less than he cost.

It you are bothered with a patch of
fern in your pasture, try the follow
ing: Mow the fern patch off about the
middle ot this month, Jus( as the
spores are beginning to mature, and
repeat the process about the middle
of August before the. second crop of
spores have a chance to spread. As
soon ss the cut ferns are dry burn
them over to lessen the vitality of
the root stock. After cutting and
burning sow the ground with pasture
grass snd clover. Adding. a little
fertilizer will no doubt . help. You
will not thus eradicate the fern, but
you will get It In check until the pas
ture grass gets a start.

ENGLAND'S TRIBUTE
ID KITCHENER
London, June 13. The late Earl
Kitchener, Great Britain's premier
soldier, lost when the battle cruiser
Hampshire was mined near the Ork
ney Islands, was today paid a tribute
as great as England has ever given
to her departed heroes.
The services were held In St. Paul's
cathedral. The king and queen, per
sons attached to the royal house,
many soldiers and statesmen attend
ed, jamming the mighty cathedral to
the doors, while thousands stood out
side in the rain with heads bared.
Many were in deep mourning, ex
pressing the loss as personal.
