FALL PASTURING OF WHEAT
Srzndg Stock on Fields In Autumn 10
Beneficial to Crop In Some
Instances.
By r. G. wEATHERsToNE)

(By r. G. WEATHERSTONE)
Wheat is a crop that needs much
consideration If we wish to obtain the
best results possible. There are Ger
tain times in the year when it would
be a great mistake to pasture whea,
and there are certain fields that ought
not to be pastured; but there are also
some instances when wheat can be
pastured to great advantage. OF
course the conditions must justify the
proceeding.
Early wheat as a rule can be pas
tured quite hard in the fall, providing
all conditions are favorable. or course
1t would be poor policy to pasture It
when the season was wet and the
ground muddy, as the tramping of
stock on such land would puddle the
soil so badly that the entire crop
might be ruined, and perhaps the soil
also
Should the soil be very dry, on the
other hand, the stock is very apt to
dig up much of the wheat, as the roots
will not have firm hold in the loose
soil.
Land that has been very trashy and
plowed late in the season is actually
benefited by tudicious pasturing, pro-
viding everything else is favorable:
for the stock will pack the ground
down firm, thus closing the large air
spaces underneath, and at the same
time keep dust mulch on the sur.
face, which is very desirable. II such
ground were left unpastured the wheat
would very likely freeze out IL the
winter should prove severe, owing to
the fact that the trash lying between
the furrow slice and the subsoil
large air spaces, which are
very detrimental to the root system.
AS soon as the winter breaks I'D in
the spring the stock should be kept
of the wheat, for 1t Is at this time
that the wheat must make a good
start in order to cover the ground be- |
lore the weeds get a start. Spring
pasturing wheat usually decreases the
grain yield greatly and should there
ore be avoided.
Horses are much harder on wheat
han are cattle, for they push the
Dose soil away from the plants and
Zip them off close to the roots, while
.attle pull OF only that which they
an easily get hold of.

NEITHER HAYSEED NOR ANGEL
But There Need Be Little Question
That Young Lady Had Much
Ingenuity.

Across the line on the Kansas side
where the study of agriculture is
compulsory, one of the high school
girls took home her monthly report
card and proudly announced:
Il took the highest grade in the
class in history, English literature
and German"
That's all very WELL" replied her
father, critically examining the card,
but how about this grade in agricuI-
ture?"
"Oh, WELL" explained the daughter
I'm no hayseed!"

peared

BURTON EXPLAINS
HIGH LIVING COST
Extravaganza is Blamed by
Ohio Senator for Raise
in Prices Of Food
BY The United Press


WASHINGTON. July 31--The why's
and wherefores Of the present high
cost OF living we're expounded to the
senate yesterday by Senator Burton,
of Ohio. AT the very outset, he made
It plain that he had no sympathy with
those who attributed altitudinous
prices to the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law.
"The prevailing high prices can be
traced to three very important causes
the Ohioan declared. These are the
phenomenal progress Of recent years,
striking inequality Of this progress in
different branches of human endeavor
and the inevitable tendencies in every
progressive era 10 extravaganza and
waste in expenditure and to the dim
inished productive energy Of a large
share of the population
"In a prosperous country where
wealth is increasing there is a con-
stant disposition 10 indulge In luxur-

sedulously prompted by interested
parties. that the present high cost
Of living is in some way due to the
tariff law Of 1909, or prior tariffs.
Nothing could be more fallacious.
AT the outset the great general fact
must be recognized that the high cost
of living is plainly manifest among
all advanced nations and approximate

and commercial lines. The countries

"All expenses relating to housing or
shelter have been revolutionized by
congress in the value Of real estate,
10 which must be added the greatly
increased cost of materials for build
ing and the higher cost Of labor. No
one should regret the higher com
pensation paid to wage-earners. So
cial welfare, the uplifting of the peo-
pie, are a greater advantage than
cheap construction or cheap rents.
