SAVING THE MOISTUREFOR WHEAT
".Now that nil of the wheat belt of
the Suuthwest'has had an adundance
of rnin and many fields will not be
planted to anything this scaecn it is
on excellent time to begin plowing or
listing to kill the weeds and rave the '
moisture for a wheat crop this coming
year." i
The foregoing statement has just
been issued by II. M. Dainer di-
rector of The Southwestern Wheat Im-1
nrovement Association nt the conclu-
sion of an extensive trip throughout
much of the wheat territory of the
Southwest.
Mr. Dinner continued to say "Land
that cin he plowed between now and
August 1 and all weeds kept down will
be the same as summer fallowed.
There ore thousands of fields in the '
Southwest growing to weeds where the
recent floods or last winter's drouth
killed the wheat. These fields are all
well soaked and carry an extra supply
of deep moisture; .but the weeds will'
draw out the moisture rapidly and in
a few weeks the greater part of the
noistuve will be gone. It is claimed
on good authority that one big weed in
its doelopment will use a barrel of
water. And while the weeds are drink-
ing the moisture they are also using
the plant food. .
"Listing is os good as plowing for
wheat providing the weeds are iot too
large and can all be covered and also
providing the ground is relisted and
leveled soon thereafter. For best re-
sults some sort of packer should follow
the plovy.
"Early plowing has always shown
an increased yield of v. heat per acre
and if it can be done now it will cork
up a good supply of this accumulated
moisture and make more plant food
availablo thus practically assuring a
wheat crop next year. Ground that is
plowed now should be double disked
lightly or should be harrowed about
twice between the timo of plowing and
the time of sowing sowing just enough
to keep down weeds and prevent crusts
from forming."

DOY OROWMS
The tragic death of the little son of
Mr. nnd Mrs. J. O. Cates of near
Booker Texas who was drowned here
Tuesday while bathing in a pool cast of
town cast a shadow of gloom over our
little city. The lad with his mother
was visiting here with Mrs. Cates' sis-
ter Mrs. J. P. Dillow when the sad
accident occurred. In company with a
number of other children the child
was bathing and got beyond his depth.
He could not swim. His companions
tried.lo save him and worked heroical-
ly but the children were too small and
at lat th lad went down for the last
time. Help was summoned quickly
and scores of men hurried to tho scene
but did not arrive in time to nave the
little fellow's life. II. D. Peckham
located the body jmd brought it to the
surf ace but life must have .been ex-
tinct for some time. All efforts to re-
store were futile.
The little body was taken to the
family home Wednesday and funeral
services will be conducted today.
All Beaver sympathizes with the
stricken parents and other members of
the f nmiljr.

thought the fire haddted out. Instead
it fell behind the roof-to the west and
soon the entire top of tho structure was
a mass of flame. I
The alarm was given and the fire-
fighters worked valiantly but from the
first the odds w-ere against them.
Only ono hydrant was available and i
tho fire had such headway
"Beaver High" is no more. The
building burned at n late hour Inst
night and is a complete loss. The fire
resulted from fireworks which had
otherwise happily closed a most de-
lightful Fourth of July celebration.
Sky rockets which burst in midair and
sent a fiery parachute floating through
the sky were fired. These parachutes

fireworks put a deplorable ending to me ouierw.ise nappy occasion
but after all those things do happen and it might have been worse.
We still believe the Fourth of July celebration was worth while
and we trust another year we will celebrate again in much the
same fashion. It doea us all good to meet together on such occa-
sions. We can't afford to let tho spark of patriotism die. It cost
our forefather much more in sacrifice of life and property to
establish Independence Day than it could possibly cost us to
maintain it. Let us not be slack in our recognition of their valor.

ONE MORE ROUND
Well the editor of the Herald toolc
one more round at collecting funds for
public benefit this week in company
with another of the veteran public
welfare solicitors W. T. Quinn. We
were after funds for the incidental ex-
penses of tho Fourth of July celebra-
tion here. Some of the folk were glad
to see us some were not so glad but
after nil we didn't get such a cool re-
ception as the times might warrant.
Our people realized that we were not
out on a pleasure jaunt. Had we. been
wc would have selocted a day when the
rays of Old Sol beat down less intense.
We appreciate the courtesy shown us
and are thankful most of all for the
spirit of co-operation shown. It is a
hard pull these strenuous times to
keep the old boat afloat but Beaver
folk are on the job pretty well. We
can't afford to give up thc ship. Lot's
stay with her and bring her safe to
harbor. Better times are just ahead.
P. It. Walker and wlfo Mrs.
Walker's brother Fred Murphy and
tho editor of Tho Herald enjoyed

noon at the delightful ranch home

INDEPENDENCE DAY'
"Why do we continue to celebrate the 4th of July with undim-
inished fervor as the years go by?
Because July 4 177G represents tho birth of our nation the
day on which the Continental Congress threw off the 'British yoke
and brought into official being the United States of America.
And because from that day to this these same United States
have grown and multiplied" and flourished until they absorb every
inch of space from'the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Canada to
the Gulf.
And because we have grown from the original handful who
fought for and won their freedom to a nation of one hundred
and ten millions of people stronger richer and more powerful
than any other country though as yet we hove not turned the soil
of our possibilities with tho real crop still to mature.
Have we not reason to be both joyful and thankful on Indepen
dence Day?
