are needed. Recently other trout
hatcheries have been constructed on
Rock Creek in Dundy county. The
; Gretna hatchery does not hatch trout
! fry.
' The state game and fish depart
Iment has been compelled to buy trout
i fry in Colorado and Wyoming to
!meet the local needs.
I NeLraska congressmen will be
'asked to aid. in securing a federal
hatchery in Nebraska, and business
interests are already proffering sup
I port.
Lorm Pine. Neb.. Dec. 15. Thap
ii rs of the Izaak Walton .league in
m rthwfst Nebraska, supported by in
dividual sport-men. are working" dil
imntly to secure establishment of a
iv.loral fish hatchery on Long Pine
rt ok. The federal government has a
hatchery in Wyominsr. Colorado,
Scuth Dakota and Kansas, none of
them being located as favorably as
Long Pine.
State Game Warden Koster and
Iiill O'Brien, former superintendent
of the state hatcheries, declare Long
Pine creek, the Niobrara, Rock and
Shell creeks, nd other streams in
western and northwestern Nebraska
..re ideal trout sireams. and with a
i:ir amount of attention in addition
:n that by the state, would soon be
y me the greatest trout streams in
!i:e wept.
Pine creek and Plum ereel:"are the
most important trout streams in
murthwest Nebraska, and are so situ
ated as to afford ideal trout breeding
places. Each runs through a deep
;nyon, with ample space for the
construction of breeding ponds safelv
above overflow.
The Izaak Walton league is con fi
ll' ut the necessary land may be had
without expense to the government,
and the outlay would be small, com
pared to the benefits resulting.

j MOUNTAIN WIRELESS
! OPENED IN PYRENEES
Pj-renees Mountains, Dec. 13. The
3rst wireless transmitting station
erected on a high mountain was
opened recently at the Pyrenees, ob
servatory at the top of the Pic du
y'idi by Senator Paul Dupuy, whose
, inaugural address was the first mes
sage transmitted from the new sta
tion. A temporary aerial was used,
! the ninety-eight feet masts for the
! permanent aerial not having yet
been hauled up the side of the moun
tain to the summit, which is 9,3 50
feet above sea level. The station will
be used chiefly for broadcasting
weather forcasts which should be
of value to farmers in the south
west, southeast and probably the
center of Prance, as these messages
will be easily audible with an ordin
ary crystal set.
In his speech. Senator Dupuy said
that the new station, the highest
in the world, would permit of the
investigation of many radio phe
nomena, such as "fading" iand the
influence of rarified atmosphere on
the propagation of wireless waves.

Blast When Soil is Wet
Less pyrotol is required and bet
ter work i3 done. "Why is it that
dynamite ' shoots better in wet
ground than in ground-that is dry?"
writes one farmer to John S. Glass,
assistant state extension agent in
agricultural engineering, Nebraska
College of Agriculture, Lincoln.
Ground that is dry is full of pores
and crevices which offer a place for
the quickly expanding gases to be
lost. In ground that contains wa
ter, all these places offer a more sol
id resistance than the stump and for
that reason a smaller quantity of
explosive' is reqeuired under 'these
conditions. In other words dry
ground is lacking in tightness and
the stump offers more resistance
than the ground while the reverse
is true in wet ground.
This same reason holds true with
pyrotol, the new war salvage ex
posive recently released to farmers
of Nebraska for blasting stumps
from cultivated fields. Pryotol will
srive much better results in ground
that contains water than in ground
that is dry. In places where there
is water standing in the bore hole,
the cartridge of pyrotol should not
be broken and the charge should be
fired as soon as possible.
From work that has been con
ducted on blasting in dry ground as
compared to blasting in wet ground,
the dry ground blasting costs about
one-third more. The amount of ex
posive used is increased in dry
ground and likewise the labor cost
is increased. Economize on pyrotol
by doing blasting when the ground
is saturated with moisture. One
pound of pyrotol used when the
ground Is wet will do the work of
one and cne half to two pounds used
when the ground is dry. Plan your
work so that the pyrotol is used at
the time when it is most effective.
Stump Blasting a Success
Fred Woolsey said that the dem
onstration of blasting stumps on his
farm in Cass county a short distance
south of Union a few days ago was
a big success and a large number of
spectators were present at the time.
The blasting was done by Will Part
ridge of Weeping Water, who was
working with the Cass county agent.
Mr. Woolsey says that this method
of removing stumps from valuable
land is very cheap and thorough.
Many farmers in the same locality
have arranged to have their stumps
removed from their land.
Mr. Joseph Bierl, of Plattsmouth,
who has used a great deal of the ex
plosive, says that "Pj-rotol sure
works good."
Loosen the Brakes
Erakes are made to stop or to
slow up a machine. Brakes are use
ful when applied at the right time
and place. They are costly when
they bear down at the wrong time.
Many a farm business ts hindered
by a dragging brake.. Unprofitable
enterprises, a poor balance of enter
prises, and boarder animals often
cau?e the farm business brake to
drag. A farm account book kept
and si tidied will assist cne to locate
pnd adjust the farm business brakes.

extension service.
