In d years, yields may be greater sinc more of the rain that does come {enters the soil. The difference in soil saving is striking. In tests at Lncoln, about ceven tens of soil have been lost from each acre per year under plow- ing, they said. But with stubble mulching the loss was cut to 1% tons. It can be reduced further by the customary rotation of crops |with occasional planting of socd erops , Stubble mulching is best suited for warm, dry climates, and has not expanded so much into cool |humid regions on the northern and ates. — e — BOY SCOUT TROOP NO. 23 HAS OUTING LAST NIGHT | Boy Scout Troop No. 23 left last Inight at 6:30 o'cleck from the | Holy Trinity Church in several | cars for the golf course at Tread- | well. - We separated by patrols to | gather wood for the fires, then we | went a little off camp and played |games of hard ball.
