Experiment Station Lincoln Ne
braska May 4th 1910 The Tribune
McCook Nebraska Dear sir
I am anxious to learn the names of
all the farmers in Red Willow county
who are practicing clean summer fal
lowing summer tillage or sum
mer culture for the conservation of
moisture The three terms all mean
tne same 1 wisn to get into com
munication with every farmer in
western Nebraska who is making use
of clean summer fallowing which is
the most important practice in con
nection with the so called dry farm
ing methods of which so much is
being written at the present time
There are fertile soils in the ex
treme western part of Nebraska on
which it is folly to use the summer
fallow while there are others appear
ing much the same on the surface
and often not more than one half
mile distant from the former on
which the summer fallow should be
made use of If any of your read
ers are practicing clean summer fal
lowing whether they call it this or
call it summer tillage summer
culture or The Campbell System
I would be glad to have them send
me their names and addresses If
they themselves are not practicing
it but know of others who are I
would be glad to receive the names
and addresses of the latter
Yours very truly

PHYSICAL EXERCISE
You Take Enough to Keep
JAPANESE STREETS
YOtlr
Arteries In Condition
Dr Woods Hutchinson in criticising
the different fads of exercise In Oul
ing says
The worst error of exercise tho
most dangerous fad of physical cul
ture Is not to take enough of It and
to sneer at every form of it that does
not bear the dollar mark By one of
those cynical poetic Justices of n a turn
very men who denounce il phys
f il culture and recreation as r nN hit
e who pay the heaviest personal
I for this delusion They
they have gained in early v mth
In natures open air school to chain
themselves to the desk to bury them
selves in dunireon like offices or nirless
workrooms twelve or fourteen hours
day They feel fine and are sure they
are going to live to be u hundred but
one day to their astonishment a littlo
artery whose coat has bee hardened
for twenty years unnoticed become-
so brittle that it snaps suddenly and
down they go with a stroke of paraly
sis like a winged duck It is never
safe to jeer at the gods whether tho
imaginary ones of Olympus or the real
ones of modern science
The men who jeer loudest at phys
ical culture and who sarcastically ad
vise college and high school students
ambitious for gymnasia or athletic
fields to go and git a bucksaw and a
cord of wood or a hoe and u potato
patch and develop their muscles like I
did when I was a boy are the very
ones who die suddenly when they
should be in their prime for lack of
exercise and open air recreation It Is
really an astonishing thing how many
giants of industry and transportation
particularly executive railroad men
die or suddenly go to pieces between
Qfty and sixty years of age It is a
common saying In railroad circles that
a big general superintendent or de
partment chief will seldom live beyond
forty eight to fifty five years of age
Many break down before that
They Swarm With Sideshows and
Playing Children
A Japanese street is a delightful
place to play in for grownup people
in Japan do not seem to mind If the
tail of a kite flaps right into their
smiling faces and only laugh when
they are turned out of their way by
some huge pegtop which hums like
an angry bee around their feet
Wee dark eyed maidens in butterfly
kimonos of brilliant coloring turn theii
skipping ropes gayly the tiny black
heads of the babies they carry strap
ped to their backs bobbing up and down
like small round balls Their brothers
plays at flags which is a favorite
game of theirs They divide them
selves into two parties one carrying
white flags and the other red ones At
a given signal the reds attack the
whites striving to wrest away their
flags and the side which carries off
most of these is proclaimed victor
Wonderful conjurers are to be found
at the street corners They make
swarms of birds fly from crystal bowls
and flowers spring as if by magic from
slender stems of bamboo 1
Others show marvelous beetles har
nessed with was to paper carts orj
command the snakes that accompany I
them everywhere to perform extraor
dinary tricks
A little farther on you will find an
old woman who is making a curious
sweetmeat of beans called torfu
over an oval brazier and you can buy
a big slab of this wrapped up in a
cool leaf for a very small sum or if
you prefer it a piping Lot griddlecake
costing no more Acrobats too are
as common as conjurers and surely
in no other land than this quaint little
Japan do they twist themselves into
such strange shapes Home Chat

back stretch and my sulky was upset
That caused a general mix up aiid a

Well I lay there for a minute and
then as I didnt seem to be much hurt
I started to get up
Hey boss don yo go glttin up

COURTSHIP
The
PORTUGAL
Way the Young People
Begin
Their Lovemaking
The most important event in the life
of a Portuguese woman is marriage
Next in importance are the early days
of courtship for a Portuguese court
ship is tin essence of romance and
the ways of the Portuguese lover are
singularly picturesque Here is a lit
tle drama in which Cupid is stage di
rector If a young Portuguese sees in
the street a pretty girl with whom he
would like to become acquainted he
follows her Chaperons arc not Im
possible obstructions He follows her
right up to her very door and notes
the address Next day he comes agaiu
and if the young lady approves of him
for she certainly saw him the day
before she is on the lookout
Sometimes hard fate in the guise of
an angry parent prevents her and
then the gallant youth is kept waiting
Sooner or later she leans over the bal
cony and smiles at him The happy
youth ties a note to a cord which the
fair lady drops from the balcony The
next day the young man comes again
This time he rings at the door If the
Inquiries which the young ladys elders
have made prove satisfactory the
swain is admitted to make the ac
quaintance of the young lady After
that courtship In Portugal is about
the same as it is in Kankakee or Kala
