CROP ROUND UP.

Excellent Prospect For Corn-Heavy
Yields of Wheat and Grass.
1t seems quite safe to say that there
Is a promise for corn crop little, II
any, below the highest record ever
made.
The yield of winter wheat at the
thrasher is decidedly heavier than even
the highest indications which could
have been deduced from the figures Of
condition reported through the season.
With the exception of Texas and Okla
homa, where the yields were moderate
ly lower than normal, and Tennessee
and parts of Kentucky, where too
much rain injured the vitality of the
crop, the yield is not only heavier. than
expected, but is above the normal for a
series Of years. In addition to the
bumper rate Of yield, the quality of
the crop Is reported remarkably high
from practically every important dis
trict. 1t may not be too much to hope
for crop of 45O.00O0O0 bushels OF win
ter wheat.
Spring Wheat.
The season opened very early, and
spring wheat seeding was accomplish
ed much sooner thar Usual. After a
large part of the seeing was done
there was return of wintry comdl-
lions. so that the crop made small
growth in its early history In the lat
ter part OF June red or leaf rust was
present throughout The northwest to
an extent probably never before equal
ed. Early in July black rust was found
to be prevalent in many of the most
important districts of Minnesota and |
the Dakotas VITA very limited excep-
lions black rust nowhere developed be- |
yond the first infection, and the result |
is that 1t has done no material dam |
age to the crop. The final rate of yield |
will be fully up to the average, and up
on the acreage planted Will give I
spring wheat crop of probably not less
than 2S5,000,000 bushels and possibly
somewhat above that figure.
Heavy Growth of Grass.
The grass crop both in the east and
west Is heavy. This includes both
meadows and pastures, the tame hays
and clovers and the natural grasses.
In the west an unusually heavy yield
was secured. There was too much rain
over a large part Of the central valleys

FARM CONDITIONS.
The Winning Combination of Big
Yields and Paying Prices.

The Winning Combination of Biz
Yields and Paying Prices.
While the greatest of all our grain
crops has not yet been secured, it is
probable that this years harvests will
foot up the greatest total ever gar
nered by American farmers Wheat
is not far from a record breaking crop,
eats great crop and corn the greatest
on record if its present promise is not
lowered by untimely frosts. But when
the American farmer confronts his
Thanksgiving turkey he will have some
thing more than many bushels to be
thankful for-fair prices. We have
had big yields before that brought
little Joy because they had to sell so
low, but now the agricultural pro-
ducer has the winning combination of
good yields and paying prices. Those
who are dissatisfied with present con-
ditions will do we'll to look up quota
tons on farm products ten years ago.
Cattle Situation.
The most hopeful feature of the stu.
alton is the improved market for beef. |
The trust agitation has died away, and
pork and mutton are dearer than usual,
and so is poultry, all of which tends
to expand the consumption of beef
The promise Of great corn crop is
also likely to be source Of benefit
to the fall cattle trade. 1t will lead
those who have cattle to keep and
finish them and will induce others to
invest. Although the past three years
have shown no profits to most feeders,
they will probably finish a large num-
Der again the coming winter. There
Is no other avenue open to them, with
prices Of other classes of feeding stock
tout Of sight" On the whole, the
present cattle situation is better than
was anticipated earlier In the summer,
though there is still vast room for
improvement.
The Small Feeders.
The tendency of the times is against
the professional feeder, the Spectator
who buys his stock and his feed and .
hires his labor. The man who can feed
bis own grain on his own land without
Increasing his labor bill is driving the
speculative feeder out of business. The
small feeder has the great advantage
IF cheap roughage, his own or hired Ia
Dor at minimum cost and ability to get ,
something out Of the manure. With ,,
Ill these things in his favor he can feed
itOck on narrow margins and prosper "
where the speculative feeder will lose =
money. At distilleries, mills, etc, the :,
after holds on, but he is passing out

WHEAT SEED BED.
PIOw Deep Before Rains, PIOw shall.
low For Sunshine.


PIOw Deep Before Rains, PIOw shall
low For Sunshine.
We can now plow land too deep fos
wheat and other small grain. This is
especially true of loose soils. Drought ID
the common enemy of fall sown crops
Drought will soon snatch all the water
out Of deep plowed lands if those lands
are nov unbrokcn. "PlOw deep while
sluggarGs s'o' an excellent motto
for all who within the heavy rain
belts of the cast. For the southwest
we must make new rules. One of
these should be, "Plow deep before
rains, pillow shallow for sunshine" says
Texas Farm and Ranch.
Land intended for small grain this
fall should have been turned very deep
last spring to catch the harvest rains
which have fallen so abundantly. In
that case light dlsking will now answer
to prepare for seeding.
Good Feeding Ground.
The seed wheat, each berry, should
for its best chances rest on firm ground
In the little drill in which it is buried.
There is moisture just under it. The
grain sprouts by sending Its roots
down the very first thing. 1t Is an
chored before its blades start to push
through the dust above it. That hard
soil is good feeding ground for the
body roots. There are moisture, plant
food and just enough air. If the seed
sprouts in bed of loose earth 1t may
send down its feeding roots, but one
by one they die back because they can
not lay firm hold on the loose soil |
particles which have the water and the |
food.
Life In the Roots,
Seed wheat sprouting on a good seed
bed will live for 100 to $50 days with.
out rain if the surface be kept loose.
AT times the crop may seem entirely
dead, but there is yet life in the roots
and in that deeply buried Crown" In
portions Of west Texas September
sown wheat stands for months during
some seasons without rain, being fed
steadily day by day from the hidden
moisture that rises constantly, as does
oil in the lamp wick. If in late fall
blowing we expose this moist undersolll
to air we rob the land Of its NATURAL
supply by exposing 1t to the air. n

Do You Fear Consumption?
When We take into consideration
the fact that one out Of every seven

it any wonder that it is feared by the
people OF Newport News who have

porter.
"A famous London physician has for
years urged his patients. when the
slightest tendency to consumption ap-
peared, to take all the cod liver oil
possible into their systems, and physi-
clans everywhere have recognized it's
value for coughs, colds, bronchitis, con
sumption and all wasting diseases, but.
unfortunately, few could take it and
derive am benefit from its use, on
account of the ~indigestible grease
which it contained.
