Fair Texan Nominates Centennial BASIN-LISTED FIELD SPONGES UP BIG RAIN News of "the heaviest rain since 1933 fiom the Colby, field station of the Bureau of Plant Industry reported soil got a good soaking to a depth of 14 inches," with "some loss by run-off." But on fields where the basin lister had been used "the moisture soaked down to a depth of about. 29 inches, even where there was considerable slope." On the Great Plains 6 inches more of moist soil may be the difference between a crop and failure.

The basin by the Bureau of Agricultural Engineering and Iowa State a lister with an attachment that gathers soil and dumps it at short, regular intervals as dams across the listed furrows. Each tiny dam holds water where 31 falls. Listing on a slope without a. basin attachment leaves ready-made ditches to collect and carry away water with its load of topsoii. If listed furrows could be on the contour, there would ibe less need for such a device as the basin former.

But an entire field can rarely be listed exactly on the contour. Slopes seldom are regular and listed furrows must be parallel. AJ- so, in listing to reduce wind erosion, furrows must be at right angles to prevailing winds, which may run them up and down a slope. Listing is a cultural practice that can not well be dropped in the Great Plains region. It is one of the best ways of checking wind erosion, the furrows catching and holding drifting particles of soil.

The basin lister with its numerous cross dams is even more effective. GRASSHOPPERS THRIVE ON MODERN AGRICULTURE Agricultural activities for the last 20 years have helped rather than hindered grasshoppers in the Great Plains area, according to Dr. J. R. Parker of the United States Department of Agriculture.

In. Montana, where hopper damage 1930 to 1934 was estimated at more than $17,000,000, cultivation of and originally in native grass has in- reased their egg-laying grounds and 'ood supply. Bare patches of fairly ground appeal most to egg- aying grasshoppers. The patches must be near plenty of vegetation that vill be green and succulent for the hoppers. Before the soil on Montana ranges was disturbed, such conditions could be counted on only in river bottoms, on sunny slopes of uplands in the Plains and foothills east of the main of the Rockies and between he Canadian border and the Yellow- itone river.

Now they are common on about 5,000,000 acres of nonlrrigat- grain crops and on thousands of miles of roadside, railway right-of- way, fence rows, and ditch banks, as well as in the old locations. Formerly continued drought dried up vegetation over a wide area, starV-' grass hoppers and checked heavy infestations. Today, even in extremely dry years, hoppers find enough to FOR SAFER DRIVING ern RICH SPEED CARS AEROLUX PENNSYLVANIA For more than a third of a century, Pennsylvania Tires and Tubes have represented the highest ideals of tire- making art and science.

The price is the highest in a number of years, 3c to 4c a pound being paid at packing sheds. The high price is little importance here, however, since local farmers have practically." withdrawn', from commercial production of the crop. A few years ago' when farmers of this area were trying to make success in potato production they could hardly get transportation costs out of their crop.

That's the way it goes. Big crop, lovr price; little crop, It is that way with potatoes, that way with onions, that way with tomatoes. That way with darn near everything, even mcJney. When there is a superabundance of money a streetcar ride may cost $1. Such dissipation cost $1,000 in Germany when the currency debauch was in effect there.

Today there is said to be an excess of money in our country, as gauged by the bank deposits. The result is that the Government is borrowing at 1.50 to 2 3-4 per cent per annum. This means that those who buy Government bonds at this juncture are on the Government dole. An investor with $20,000 in the Government's 1.50 per cent bonds gets less from the treasury than a relief client, gets at the dole office. No doubt this is as it should be.

"TINGLE ON THE MADE THIS CHEESE.

The cheese maker was selling what purported to be "Old English" cheese and adopted the tongue and taste titillating advertising "slogan of "tingle on the tongue" to describe the effect of the cheese that resulted from aging.

The maker was in a hurry, however, and didn't' wait for age to produce tbe effect. He did some extra-quick "aging" by mixing That ieft a "tingle on the tongue," plenty of red pepper with the cheese, but the Food and Drug Administration regarded it as a commercial cheat' and an adulteration of good food, and seized 390 packages of the tingling -tidbit.
