EXPERIMENTS WITH WHEAT
Fine Results shown by the oklahoma
Experiment Station

Saltwater .. T., June 2s.-The expert
ment wheat plats at the Oklahoma expert
ment wheat plats were cut, with few ex-
ceptiOns, June 1918 The wheat was grown
on medium upland prairie soil, without
special preparation aside from manuring
a part of the plats and green manuring
others by blowing under. COW pea stubble.
Thirteen varieties averaged 22.6 bushels
per acre, only one yielding les sthan 20
bushels. The largest yield of any of these
plats was 27.9 bushels. Eleven of these
varieties have been grown for four years
on the station farm, giving average yields
OF 2S.5 bushels. Sioley's New Golden, Mis-
souri, Blue Stem, Niger and Early Red
Clawson have given slightly largest aver
age yields for the four years. In the time
seeding trials. early sowing gave best re-
suits. Twelve plats sown in September
gave average yield of 2S.7 bushels; eight
sown October sis yielded average OF 2l5
bushels; Il sown in ovember gave average
or 5.4 bushels Of low-grade wheat. All
these plats were sown with the Red Rus
sian variety. Flowing in July gave aver
age yield 6.S bushels greater than blowing
early in September. P.owing four inches
deep gave slightly less yields than p,owing
eight inches deep. No gain came from sub
selling land powed eight inches deep.
Nanuring with stable manure greatly in
creased yield IN all cases. -Four MANFRED
pats gave averaged yield OF rs bushes.
while four under like treatment, except
with TO manure, gave average yield Of I45
bushels. On an acre In wheat continuously
for seven years, the half MANFRED in fan
of 1898 yielded at the rate of sos bushels:
the half unmanured % bushels per acre.
Improving the physical condition Of the
soil rather than adding pant food IS be-
lieved to be the CHIEF value Of the manur- |
ing. Fifty-eight plats including every plat
or the farm eXceH those sown late !n the
season gave an average yield Of = 81 bush /
els per acre, or about 10 bushels more than !
the average wheat yield Of the United |
States for series Of years

EXODUS CHAPTER XVI.

And they took their journey from Elm.
and all the congregation Of the children Of
Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin.
which is between Elm and Sinai. on the
fifteenth day of the second month after
their departing out OF the land Of Egypt.
Then said the Lord unto Moses: Behold.
1 will rain bread from Heaven Tor you;
and the people shall so out and gather a
certain rate every day, that 1 may prove
them, whether they win walk In my law,
or no.
And It shah come to pass. that on the
sixth day they shall prepare that which
they shall bring in; and It shall be twice
as much as they gather daily.
And It came to pass, that at even the
quails came up. and covered the camp:
and in the morning the dew lay round
about the host.
And when the dew that lay was gone up.
behold, upon the face Of the wilderness
there lay small round thing, as small as
the boar frost on the ground.
And when the children of Israel saw 1t,
they wtst not what 1t was. And Moses
sad unto them: This Is the bread which
the Lord hath given you to eat.
This IL the thing which the Lord hath
commanded: Gather Of it every man ac-
cording to his eating. an omer FOR every
man. according to the number Of your per-
sons; take ye every man for them which
are in his tents.
And the children of Israel did so, and
gathered, come more. some less.
And when they did mete it with an omer.
ne that gathered much had nothing over,
and he that gathered little had no lack;
they gathered every man according Il, his
eating.
And the house Of Israel called the name
thereof mama: and It was like coriander
seed, white; and the taste OF It was like
waters made with honey.

for the sale of deer, moose and caribou,
the year around were very detrimental to
the game of Maine. The peopls of Maine

THE CUBAN ARMY.

Que of the biggest fairy tales ever
told the people of this country was that
about the Cuban army 1t used to be rep.
resented before the war that Gomez and
Carols had under their command 100, 200
troops at least, not all Of them we'll
equipped. but all of them patriots ready
| to lay down their lives for their country.
1t was said that II the United States
would only recognize their belligerenoy or,
| better, the independence Of Cuba. this
army would soon sweep the Spaniards
a government which would be just and
stable. The iirst proof that this army
existed chiefly in the Imagination came
when we undertook to lind It, One Of
the features Of onr earliest plans Of cam-
paigns was to send into the island Ameri-
can officers to command the Cuban army
and plenty of guns and ammunition and
trust the Cubans to do the rest. But
when orr officers tried to lind the army,
1t found nothing but few struggling
bands, unwilling to do anything but eat
the rations we provided for them and call
for more, which proved an inoumbranoe
rather than help to our troops. Since
the administration offered 5000. 900 for
the disbandment of this army We are get
ting more light in regard to 1t. Seeming
cash as quickly as 1t did rations, 1t has
begun to gather in Havana to be on hand
when the distribution takes place. TIE
streets are full of soldiers, and the curious
thing about them is that every other man
at least wears shoulder straps. Whether
the army was originally half privates and
half officers, or whether the privates have
begun to promote themselves to generals,
thinking that the %. 0J0, 900 will be dJled
out like prize money according to rank,
and that accordingly they will get more
as generals than they would as privates
Is not clear, but the fact remains that
half of them wear shoulder straps with
stars. Residents of Havana who are
familiar with the aggregation say that
Uncle sam is bound to be cheated in his
trade with them. They affirm tha5 the
great majority of them are bandits who
will never do an honest stroke of work,
but will take our government bounty
and as soon as it is spent turn again
