A VIOLATION OF THE LAW
There has been a great improvement in the behavior
on the streets of Lyons and on the highways around, in
the past two or three months, for which concltion the
peop’e of the city are very grateful. But there is still
one menace, among others perhaps, right UNDER OUR
NOSES that is very cetrimental to the morals of our town
This menace is one whose influence destroys the happin
ess of home life, BREAKS DOWN THE MORALS OF THE
YOUTH OF OUR TOWN, spoils the sacradneas of love,
makes deceivors of men and often times renders one
PENNILESS while another is» made FAT, FINANCIALLY,
t>y the gain.
This ceteriorating amusement is being carried on in
PUBLIC PLACES—places so public that not only those
who participate know the rendezvous, but by those who
do not indulge. It is not necessray to cal'! officials into
consultation concerning this matter as it has become such
a periodical happening and the place of meeting is so well
advertised because of the location of the rendezvous, and
because of the fact that it is necessary to have light, since
this practice is carried on at night, (as well as on Sunday
afternoon), which light shows forth as a toll tale, BE
SPEAKING CRIME FROM THE WINDOWS OF A BUILD
ING CONSTRUCTED FOR THE PURPOSE OF QUELL

How long will this condition exist UNMOLESTED?

IMPORTANT CAUTION TO THOSE SOWING
OATS OR WHEAT
Wheat sowed with the drill has every advantage over
! that sowed broadcast. In some instances the seed are
more evenly distributed. They are plantec. at a uniform
depth where moisture conditions are likely to be more
l favorable and germination much better. And wheat seed
i ec. with the drill is less likely to suffer from winter-killing.
While the drill is an important factor in securing a
better stand of wheat and carrying it through the winter,
it is practically a necessity in the production of fall oats.
Over much of the South it Is unsafe to sow fall oats broad
least. Test after test conducted by the experiment stations
1 have shown heavy or total loss of stands of oats sowed
broadcast, while those sowed with the grain drill in the
same field on the same day stood the same winter freezes
with little or no less stand. Even in these sections of the
Lower South where drilling of oats is not absolutely ne
cessary It will pay in the same way that it pays with
wheat.
Before the grain drill came into general use, farmers
in some sections of the South began to plant oats in deep
furows to escape the danger of winter-killing. This
j method proved very effective. But with the one-horse im-
I plements generally used, this method is too slow. It is
coubtful if this deep furrow method is any more effective
anywhere than seeding with the regular grain drill pro
vided the sowing is done in proper season. It certainly
is not more effective in most sections. If sowing ia delay
ed so late that the young plants do not have time to get
well established before freezing weather, the deeper fur
rows* might be of some advantage. At any rate, it may
well be said that sowing by the broadcast method is not
safe except in the very lower portion of the South. Those
who do not have grain l drills and cannot secure the use of
them, had better use the open furrow method of seeding
oats where there is danger of winter-killing.—The Pro
gressive Farmer.
