Solving the Wheat Problem
While It Is true that the wheat sit-
uation of today la very unsatisfactory
it is- ulso true that the wheat farmer
is gettjug more than his share of ad-
vice Much is being said about re-
ducing the acreage diversification ro-
tation better seed and more livestock
all of which is good But after all
the wheat' furiuer is not goiug to get
much outside help— he must depend
on himself pretty much to solve his
own problems
This year’s wheat crop is matured
find flie supply exceeds tile demand
Tbe price Is down and no immediate
relief is lu sight Much can be done to
relieve the situation however through
more orderly marketing Federal sta-
tistics ijhow that during thepast few
years more than 00 per ceut of all of
the wheat went on the market during
Juljf August September and October
If tills should happen again this year
there is no doubt that the price would
drop still lower
While there seems to be no Immed-
iate relief in sight as fur as better
prices are concerned for tills year's
crop yet tills Is the time to begin to
figure for next yeur In many cases a
reduction in acreage may help Along
with less acreage cheaper costs of
production are needed The average
wheat yield of the southwest about
12 bushels jier acre is too low Tills
yield returns less than the cost of pro-
duction if labor lit prevailing wages
interest depredation and decrease in
soli fertility is considered: Higher
yields must come through earlier pre-
paration rotation better seed and con-
trol of Insects and plant diseases

TREES LIKE'ONIONS
Workers engaged in turning tbe
course of a small river toward the
Ashokan reservoir of the New York
city water works have come upon the
oldest fossilized forest ever discov-
ered I)r J M Clarke of the State
museum intends to restore a section
of the forest and make tho trees look
as they did in the days of their
growth They are strange in forma-
tion being 30 feet to 50 feet high!
The bottoms are like bulbs and
spread out like the roots of an onion
It is thought that the forest was
buried by a glacial rush in the dim
past
HAD NOTHING ON HIM
The very modern artist was ex-
plaining his theories
“You see” he said “what we aim
at is the elimination of the egocen-
tric vision without destroying the
essential unity of the subconscious
reflex Do you follow me?”
“I am well ahead of you” said his
friend “I came out of the asylum
yesterday”
ADDED TO FARM WEALTH
Farmers last year entered over
194000 cows in cow-testing associa-
tions to determine their standing as
butter-fat producers through dem-
onstrations by agricultural extension
workers According to rpports to the
United States Department of Agri-
culture BIG BUSINESS WOMAN
Japan claims the world’s great-
est business woman in Mrs Yon
Suzuki a widow said to be worth
$150000000 She owns fleets of
steamboats factories all over the
Far East and has offices in America
Great Britain and on the continent
of Europe
WRITES OF 'SPRING SNEEZES'
Physician Explain Interestingly th
Cause of Malady Most Distress-
ing to Its Victim
Early spring attacks of hay fever
are not usually so prolonged as those
that develop later in the year and
their appearance before vegetation
has advanced very far may seem to
distinguish them from the hay fever
of later months In the Hygeia
Doctor Walker begins a series of
articles on the nature and treatment
of hay fever with a discussion of the
early spring variety which is caused
by the pollen sifted into the air by
the blossoming trees In many trees
the flowers develop and may even go
to seed before the appearance of the i
leaves The flowers may be incon-
spicuous as in the elms or very
prominent on long and showy cat-
kins In persons who are sensitive
to only one kind of tree pollen the
symptoms last only a few days but
persons who are sensitive to several
kinds of tree pollen may have one
long attack throughout the season
or as is more commonly the case
several short attacks with pauses be-
tween depending entirely on the
times of pollination of the trees to
which they are sensitive
HANG THE LUCK

around here for? Get out and see If

a mushroom you lofted
TIME8 DO CHANGE
"It is odd how fads get held of a
country” remarked the gray-haired
man “It seems only a day ago that
the country was all wrought up over
walking matches just as they are
now over long-distance dancing con-
tests Why I remember when there
was scarcely a town in the country
that did not have at least one cham-
pion heel-and-toe walker Contests
were being staged all the time most-
ly in halls where so many laps made
a mile The contestants walked on
sawdust or tanhark tracks and the
grinds usually lasted from Monday
morning to Saturday night There
were cries then about them being in-
human exhibitions”
ALCOHOL A8 ILLUMINANT
The use of alcohol as an illumi-
nant is growing in France and other
European countries and the subject
attracts much attention in England
On the continent alcohol lamps are
now made with incandescent mantles
capable of yielding 1000-candle
power Two hundred and fifty can-
dle power is very common with these
lamps It is claimed that they viti-
ate the atmosphere sensibly less than
any other illumjpsnt except incan-
descent electric lamps In Germany
potatocsand in France beets are now
largely used in the production of al-
cohol for industrial purposes
' ABLUTIONS INFREQUENT
“Why did that loidy back at the
house look at ye so close Tim?”
asked Weary Willie “and why did
she say ye had a muddy complexion?
Wot business is it of hern anyway ?”
“None whatemever” replied
Tired Tim “an’ she was dead wrong
Bill it’e just dry dirt I never wash
my face unlessit rains
