MAKE THE SOIL MORE FERTILE
Plow Early and Deep—Thorough
Soil Tillage Better Crop
With Less Water
The quantity of water required to
produce a bushel of grain becomes
smaller as the available fertility of
the soil increases. It requires twice
as much water to produce a bushel
of grain on an infertile sail as it
does on a fertile soil in good tilth.
This is one of the most important,
if not the most important recent I

Obituary—Mrs. Joel D. Jones
Martha Dickson Crawford was
born at Wilton Center, Illinois,
March 19, 1868, daughter of James
and Elizabeth Crawford. She grew
to mature womanhood amid the
pleasant surroundings of country
life as exhibited in Wilton and West
Peotone, Illinois. In the earlier
years life's promise was most ex-
cellent.
She was married on the 20th of
February, 1890, to Mr. Chas. H. Bar-
ton, of Peotone, Illinois, and togeth-
er they made their home among the
scenes and friends of their youth.

in European countries and in the^ three 8()ns and one daughter,
United States in sections of goo< ^|kert Edward, Rutherford and
Caroline. Her husband, Mr. Barton,
died January 29, 1907, and for a
railfall and in arid regions, and in
every case the more fertile the soil,
either through tillage or the use of
manures, or of commercial fertili-
zers, the less the amount of water
necessary for the production of each
bushel of grain.
Most of the plant food in the soil
is in such a condition that the plants
cannot use it at all. It is enert, like
the original rocks from which the
soil came. Deep plowing, thorough
tillage and early preparation of the
land increases the amount of food
in the soil that the plants can use.
Such treatment holds moisture
deeper in the soil; the air and the
gasses work on the enert earth; the
moisture helps to dissolve the plant
food. Such tillage increases the
namber and action of bacteria to
manufacture plant food from the
inert particles of earth.
The wheat grower who does
nothing to prepase the land but to
disc it increases the fertility but
little, and two thousand pounds of
water or more may be required for
each pound of wheat harvested.
The man who plows shallow in-
creases the fertility of his soil some,
but not enough to use the rainfall to
the best advantage.
The wheat grower who prepares
his land early, plows deep, works it
until it is in good tillage and har-
rows in the spring, makes his soil so
fertile that it requires only
only about half as much moisture
to produce a bushel of grain as does
with slight preparation.
The man who gives intensive till
age get double the service from the
rainfall.
Manure and commercial fertilizers
after they become thoroughly in-
corporated in the soil, have the
same effect. Rotation with legumes
and summer fallowing increases the
grain-producing force of the rainfall.
This is the surest road to doubl-
ing and trebling the yield per acre.

Roy Wolfinger Pleases Audience
The following with the picture of
Roy Wolfinger, who has been en-
gaged as superintendent of the
Hennessey public schools for the
coming term, appeared in the Ho-
bart Daily Republican of July 3, and ft
doubly assures us of Mr. Wolfinger's >i/
splendid qualifications for the posi-
tion he is soon to occupy with us:
"One of the largest congregations \k
which has ever gathered at the \kl
Tabernacle came last night to hear Uf
Roy Wolfinger's dramatized lecture, ii/
entitled "Tied Safe." Mr. Wolfinger \kl
had the assistance of several young
people who helped make the moral III/
lessons which the lecture was trying
to bring out more impressive. The *1/
production was entirely original and \iI
was but another evidence of Mr. ft
Wolfinger's ability as a teacher and ft
leader in the public morals of the ft
town. The various characters were ft
well chosen and each carried their ft
part through in fine shape. * * * ft
It is almost if not a calamity that ft
the city of Hobart is to lose such an ft
instructor from her city schools as ft
Mr. Wolfinger. No man whom we ft
have ever known is more worthy or ft
capable to hold the best position in ; ft
the schools of this or any other city
in the state. We don't wander that ft
Hennessey wanted him as superin- ft
tendent. We predict that ere long
Hobart will want him back again."
