Farmers now take pride In hav
Ing homes that will make the lives of
their familiea pleasant. This Is done
by Installing labor-eaving conveniences.
And the greatest of theae, aa the wom-
en have declared, la aome aort of ays-
tern to provide running water.
There la every reaaon why farmers
should build the home, or barn, or
granary, or other building that Is
needed. ■ The building industry la not
far behind the farming Induatry as an
essential to the prosperity of the coun-
try. This prosperity Is what is mak-
Ing It poaaible for farmers to get profit-
able prices for their products. And
when this prosperity fades, so will the
price of flour and other foodstuffs.
Building a home now will help cre-
ate general prosperity. Thousands of
homes are being built, and It is notice-
able that a great majority of them are
being erected In the rural districts.

A good seed bed for wheat*can sot
ba made unless the work Is begun
early, and a good seed bed Is the most
important thing In growing wheat
Many things are ne&ssary in preper-
ing a good seed bed, but the first es-
sentia] Is time, it can not be done In
* nor yet In a week. There must
bo many days of settling. There most
be some good, packing rains. And
there ought to be frequent cultivation
of the noil.
Those things are necessary because
• good seed bed for wheat must be firm
and It must be moist The upper 8
inches of soil mast be mellow and finely
divided, and the portion beneath must
be well compacted.
Plowing May Vary.
Easentlals to successful wheat grow-
lug vary widely In different sections
of tbe country, but the United States
department of agriculture regards
theae thlaga as basic essentials any-
where that • wheat Is grown In the
United States. The wheat experts of
the department may recommend one
type of plowing for one section and
other kinds of plowing for other
sections, and even no plowing
at all under some conditions, but a
finely pulverised top soil well packed
down and forming a perfect union
with the aubaoil la urged for every
section.
Early plowing and thorough tillage of
the plowed soli results in retaining the
w*ter that is in the soil and catching
Mtd storing the water that falls after
cultivation la begun. A firm seed bed
under thia mulch enables the young
wheat plants to make use of the subsoil
watera. Sufficient moisture Is thus as-
sured for the germination of the aeed
and for the early fall growth of the
aeedllnja—a much more Important
thing, the ezperta say, than many wheat
growers conaider it It does not apply,
sa aome might think, Juat to the semi-
•rid regions.
"If the Importance of thla thing were
generally recognised throughout the so-
called humid areas," aaya one of tbe
wheat experts of tbe department of
agriculture, "there would be less fro-
qoent losses from drought and batter
wheat crops would result In this area,
the mistake is often made of h<nHnt
if* present, however, It may bo ad-
visable to go over the ground with a
disk harrow, plow shallow and disk
If wheat" Is to follow cotton, th*
stalks should be plowed under aa soon
ss picking can be finished and the
plowing should be deep enough to bury
the stalks completely—that by way of
destroying the boll weevil. Disking or
harrowing is not advisable, aa It un
earths the buried stalks. The land
should be firmed with a roller and the
wheat sown with a disk drill.
Late Plowing Mould Be Shallow.
There are aald to be exceptlona to all
general rules, and there may be one or
two exceptlona to this rule of early
plowing for wheat If It raina a great
deal during July and early August, ear-
ly plowing can not be done. But, for*
tunately, the exception appears to
come in Juat there. Early plowing Is
not so easentlal in wet seasons. But It
may be well to observe thla caution:
If you have to plow late, plow shallow
where there Is danger of winter mitng
Shallow plowing makes the firming of
the seed bed an easier matter and Is a
measure of insurance against winter
killing.

One of the interesting festurss c(
the "paint-up" activities hss been un-

the ending of the war a wide scale of
colors Is sgain offered, and more atten-

been paid to general effect according
to reports received by tbe own-your-

As a matter of conservation In tbo

repair of roofs has been studied and
