From Jan. l, 1918, to Jan. 16, post
masters are instructed to keep rec
ord of all parcel post work in con.
nection with their respective offices
and make a report to the department
JAN 16, concerning it. On this -re-
port the department will base esti-
mates as to the needs of the various
.postoffices in the way of additional
equipment and employees. From this
information concerning the amount of
work done during the first Is days OF
January, will also be based the esti-
mates which the department will MAXI
to Congress for the needs of the SER
vice during the fiscal year. endins
June 80, 1914. Under these conditions
any postoffice which does a small par
eel post business during the first Is
days of January will be handicapped
later in the year should there be 4
rapid increase in that kind of mail.
From the above it will be seen that
the best interest of the public will be
served if the business done during the
above period is an average of that
which will be done through the year.

THE OLD PLEA
He "Dldn't Know 1t Was Loaded"

The coffee drinker seldom realizes
that coffee contains the drug, caffeine,
a severe poison to the heart and
nerves, causing many forms of dis
ease, noticeably dyspepsia.
Il was a lover of coffee and used 1t
for many years, and did not realize the
bad effects / was suffering from its
use. (Tea is just as injurious as cof-
fee because it, too, contains caffeine,
the same drug found in coffee.)
"At first was troubled with indiges-
ton. / did not attribute the trouble

arose from other causes. With these
attacks / had sick headache, nausea

Dry Farm Methods.

Some complaints have been made
that the so-called dry farming meth
DDS do not succeed In very dry years
and that hence these methods are
wrong. Plants will not grow without
some moisture and the season of 1911
was unusually severe in It's heat and
drought because It followed two other
similar seasons Immediately. The
preceding seasons were not so bad,
but the rain came at such time of the
year that there was comparatively
little moisture in the soil during the
growing periods. This, however,
should not argue against the dry farm
ing methods, as they are simply good
farming methods which are applica-
BILE in greater or less degree to
every section of the United States.
Dry farming methods do produce good
results in three seasons out of Eve
and are more likely to produce re-
suits every year than any other meth
cd which has been devised.

GROW GRAIN-soReHUM CROPS
Great Plains Admirably Adapted to
Growing Both Stock and Neees-
sary Feeding Material.

In farmers bulletin--No. 44S-
with the title Better Grain-Sorghum
Crops" issued by the Department OF
Agriculture, Carleton R. Ball ex.
presses the opinion that the Great
Plains region. where the sorghums are
grown extensively, gives promise Of
becoming a second great feeding belt,
similar to the corn belt. The area, he
says, is admirably adapted to growing
both stock and the necessary feeding
crops. These crops will be corn in
the regions of lower altitude and
greater rainfall. and grain sorghums
in the higher and drier parts.
The grain sorghums, says the writer
Of the new bulletin, may be greatly
improved through the selection OF bet
ter varieties and the use of better
methods The improvements will be
chiefly in the direction of drouth re-
sistance; earliness; dwarf stature;
productiveness, including heads and
freedom from suckers and branches,
and increased machine harvesting.
The Improvement Of the nature Of
the crop may be accomplished by seed
selection. This, argues Mr.. Ball.
should be the work Of the boys on the
farm. Complaint is commonly made"
he says, that the children are not I'm
terested in the farm, and that many Of
them leave 1t as soon as possible. In
! terest can be awakened by giving the
boys and girls something definite to
do In tho NOV - t,,orougp0 tbo forv,
and its products. Once started, they
should be encouraged to feel RESPONSE
BILE for results. They should also re-
ceive money return, however small,
for the Improvement resulting from
their efforts.
at Is not necessary to await the
formation of neighborhood corn
club in order to interest the boy In
selecting better seed Help him to
make selections from the years crop.
Let him prepare It for storing over
winter Set aside a field on which he
can plant It the following spring.
Plant alongside It some unsolicited
seed Assist him in comparing the
two fields Encourage him If striking
results are not obtained the first year.
Give him a fair share of the profit
when profit results from his labors.
The best result will be the increase OF
interest and knowledge in the boy"
Mr.. Balls advice in this direction
is not intended only for those who
wish to improve their grain sorghum
crops, but to every farmer in the en-.
tire country, whether he grows cotton
corn. wheat. rice. oats, potatoes OF any
other staple farm crop.
