Norbert B. Behl of Kit Carson Colorado describes a primitive iceless refrigerator. A box twelve inches deep twenty four inches long and twenty four inches wide serves as the chamber with a water filled basin on top and burlap to wick cooling moisture inside. A windward outdoor position enhances evaporation cooling, creating lower interior temperatures as long as the basin remains full.

Wheat Waiting Two Years On Goulding Land Near Keota
Forty acres of winter wheat on the George L Goulding land four miles east of Keota show potential yields of ten to fifteen bushels per acre after being planted in fall 1910. The crop failed to establish in 1910 and the land was sown to cane in 1911, which also failed due to drought. The field will be watched next spring for a possible belated sorghum crop.
