The County Christian Endeavor con-
kvention held last Saturday and Sunday
was very satisfactory to all concerned, ex-
cept for the disappointment felt at the non.
appearance of Rev. Gilchrist who was
not able to be present. On Saturday af-
ternoon his hour was filled very pleasant
ly by Rev. Stevens and Rev. Beattie, and
on Sunday evening Rev. Hawk took his
place in the opera house and the large
audience that greeted him paid strict at.
tention to his practical discourse, ate
which Miss Mary Young, president of
the union, closed the convention with a
conservation service. A very pleasant
feature of the Sunday evening service
was the singing under the dictatorship of
Mr.. Geo. Vance.

sity. However, a HERALD reporter learned
that Deputy Donovan had been imposed

Experiment In Wheat Sowing.

To determine the prscticability OF
sowing spring wheat in the fall and al
so the time TO SOW for best results the
Montana station made Is sowings, be-
ginning with Aug. 9 and ending when
the ground was frozen, Nov. l9. The
early seedlings made nice growth and
were in good condition when the win
ter set in, but the later sowings were
Just coming up. The early paintings al
most wholly killed out the intermedI-
ate only partially, the latest showed no
damage from the winter killing, the
stand being almost perfect The first
six plants sowed gave an average yield
of 8. 8 bushels per acre; the next five,
seeded from Sept. 81 to Oct 19, yield
ed an average Of 1917 bushels. The four
plans sowed Oct 26 and Nov. 3, 10 and
10 produced at the rate Of Ss.5 bushels
per acre

Our Sheep Industry.

The revival of our domestic sheep in
dustrv. while promising, will not reach
its best development until the wooden
factory is established near where the
wool is grown, says American Agricul-
turist, also authority for the following;
1t took the south so years to learn that
il could manufacture its cotton into
cloth at a profit instead of shipping it
all to the north and foreign countries.
to be there manufactured. Just so the
great areas in our western, southwestern
and middle southern states, adapted 70
the production Of wool on a large scale.
ought to establish factories in which to
manufacture their wool.
At present the New England states
produce less than per cent Of the an
nuaI wool clip of the United States, but
the wooden mills of New England con-
sumo Sc per cent of the country'a total
wool product. Most of the wool growing
states have abundant water power for
wooden factories, and there is no reason
why this industry should not be devel-
oped in them. 1t will be some years be-
fore such newly established wooden
mills can expect to turn out the finer
grades of cloths, but they can make the
great bulk Of the common and coarser
woolens, while eastern mills can be de-
pended upon to make the fine grades
Such is the present development in cot
ton manufacturing. and it is important
to our farmers that the wooden industry
should be worked in the same way.

TILE DRAINAGE.
Points For the Consideration OF Farmers
Having This Work to 10.

Points For the Consideration OF Farmers
Having This Work to DO.
Thing is expensive work and all ef-
fort should be made to cheaper it as
much as possible-that is, the mechan-
ical part. 1t cannot be cheapened BY US
ing too small tile or tile of poor quality
put down too shallow. But the time OF
doing the work has much TO do with
cheapening it, doing it when the soil Is
in proper condition TO handle easily, do
ing it when other work more necessary
does not crowd, doing it with the right
kind of tools. Thus writes contributor
TO the Ohio Farmer, who also furnishes
the following suggestions:
If team and plow can be used to
hasten the work and save man work, 1t
is cheaper. Where spades and shovels
are used they should be the best and
adapted to the work in quality and
strength. In purchasing tools it is Wis
dom to secure the hghtest consistent
with strength and quality. 1t is folly to
lift a few ounces extra weight IN .
spade or shovel hundred of times day
when q lighter tool will do the work
better. Sometimes the use Of a grind
stone for a few minutes will save mus
Gle, and grindstOne is much the cheaper
of the two. And always q thin spade
will cut through the tough clay far cas-
Ter than thick one. When we purchase
tools to be used continuously, as a spade
is used when cutting ditch, we use the
scale 10 detect difference in weight, Civ
ing the preference to the lighter tool II
the quality is not deficient 1t is not al
ways the heaviest handle or even the
heaviest blade in a tool that will stand
the most work.
A properly adjusted grade line viii
save handling much soil and enable the
workman to lay the tile as fast as the
ditch is finished, and it is unsafe to tn-
ish digging a very long line before lay
ing the tile. Making tomorrow the most
convenient time to lay the tile has often
caused much longer delay on account Of
a rain or frost during the night, spelling
the ditch by the slumping in Of the sides
and requiring the work to be done over
again. 1t took two lessons Of this kind
fully to impress the Importance OF this
matter on our minds.
When the weather is changeable,
freezing and thawing by turns, it is Of
ten advisable to take of the top spade
while the soil is in good condition to
work. Then when frozen in the morn
ings, the work can go on without wait
| ing for thaw. When this is done, the
1 crumbs should not be thrown out till
ready to complete the work, for they
prevent tie solid soil below from freeE-
ing. and then, too, freezing and thaw-
ing will simply cause as much more
loose soil TO fall into the cutting. All
these points are worthy of consideration
when one has this work to do.

ALLEN COUNTY'S CROPS.
They Might be Better but
they Have been Worse.
ENOUGH TO DO US
And Probably Some to Spare Seems TO
Sum up the Situation.
BETTER LUCK NEXT TINE.

In response to our request the cor
respondents of the REGISTER have
sent in crop reports from all sections
of the county which will, We believe,
be read with great interest. AS is
always the case in dry season the
reports from various sections of the
county differ widely. Local show
ers" account for these differences, OF
course. 1t seems strange that at
mospherie conditions can vary over
so limited an area so that one town
ship, sometimes one quarter section,
will get a heavy rain while the one
adjoining will not receive a drop.
But that is what happens every dry
year. 1t has happened this year, and
the result is a corn crop that is report
ed all the way from ten to seventy
bushels per acre.
Unfortunately for US this year Allen
county is not a wheat growing county,
but the few hundred acres we had
yielded well. The general average
of the corn crop will probably not
exceed 20 bushels, but there is 8
large quantity of old corn on hand so
we will probably not have to import
any. Oats is better than last year,
though far below a full crop, and the
early hay, vegetables and fruits were
good.
The reports all show great damage
from the late drouth. but this was
broken by a bountiful rain this week
and the fall pastures, and perhaps
some of the late fruit will be greatly
| benefited.
But here are the reports, which are
well able to speak for themselve:

The editor should have remembered
that some of his correspondents were
ladies and have asked questions about
something we are supposed to know
about. But as we always like to &C
comedate our friends, we have taken
the trouble to ask three gentlemen
and send their replies.
No. l. Corn may average 10 bushels
per acre, but We cannot tell, 1t is very
spotted: flax l would put at four
bushels per acre though some dld
much better; oats very light; wheat,
too little raised in this part OF the
township to be worth mentioning;
apples not half crop and badly in
iured by drouth; peaches about the
same: potatoes not over One-half.
No. 3. Corn from II to Is bushels
per acre: fax from to bushels per
acre: oats light; wheat, little raised
here; apples, peaches and potatoes
perhaps half crop.
No. 8. Taking the county, corn will
run Is to 20 bushels per acre; fax 4
bushels or more; oats almost failure;
wheat. do not count it at all; some fine
fruit but 1 would not try to make an
average, so much is damaged; potatoes
very good in a few places but scarcely
any in others. Personally l believe
Allen county has enough for her own
needs and some to spare.

there was but two pieces which made

very poor, only Is to 20 bushels pei
acre, potatoes One-haif to three-fourths
crop, apples twO-thirds crop but poor
because of dry weather, peache;
would have been a big crop but the
dry weather has made them of very

Our potato crop is not so great yield

some claiming 20 bushels. The up
