ing outside be heard Johns last call
for help. Picking up a rope that
lay beside him, Mr.. Howell made
his way to the lake shore as quickly
as he could. He crawled over the
thin ice, which swayed under bis
weight, until he reached the hole
where the lad broke through, and
was barely able to grasp few hairs
on Johns head, by which he drew
him little nearer until he could
twine hIs fingers in the hair. Then
by this firmer hold he drew the boy
up until he could get the rope under
his arms and made it fast. With a
prayer on his lips and with the as
sistance of his son Edwin, the boy,
who was now unconscious, was
drawn out of the water and carried
TO the shore, and the work OF restor-
alton was begun. Clarence Booth,
who happened to be passing, Joined

Fish Haven, Dec. 25 Two of
Fish Haven's citizens have had mar
row escapes from accidental deaths
within the past week. On the 20th
jos. Stock was returning in bis
gasoline launch from the southeast
part of the lake; where he had been
trapping and fishing. When several
miles out in the lake he sat down
close TO the gasoline engine and
leaning over, drew his coat collar
mp around his neck and ears, and
beng in position where he could
inhale the gasoline fumes, although
not dreaming of danger, be was
soon unconscious. August and
Charles H,ldt were also in the
launch and when they spoke TO Mr..
Stock and resolved no answer, they
went over him 70 Gee what was
wrong, thinking he had fallen
asleep. Finding him unconscious
the Hildt boys got the launch to
shore as quickly rs possible and
doctor was called in haste. 1t re-
quired some time to restore Mr..
Stock 70 consciousness, and the
doctor stated that had help been de-
layed few minutes longer, it would
have been impossible TO have saved
his life. We are glad TO state that
Mr.. Stock has now about fully re-
covered from the effects of the gas.
john Vsierlaus, Ut year old lad,
was the next to meet with an acci-
dent which came near being fatal.
He had been. TO st. Charles on busi-
ness last Monday afternoon, going
and returning on skates on the lake.
The Ice was not thick enough to be
safe for skating, and when at 'sthe
point" on his return journey the Ice
broke under thie weight and John
was plunged into deep water. Henry
Howell who had also been to St.
Charles, had stopped al the home
of his brother Charles, who lives at

he heard cries for help. At first he

NOTES,

There was q Christmas tree and
entertainment last night at the
meeting house, and dear Old Santa
distributed gifts to all Of the little
ones, sending them home happy and
loving Santa Claus more than ever.
1t has been pretty cold here, with
not enough snow for sleigh riding.
A good many of our citizens have
been down with the grippe lately,
but most of them have recovered.
Say, Mr.. Editor, we wish the
local merchant who told the editor
of the Paris Post that he had bought
all of the apples he could find south
OF Paris, would give your cores
pondent the job of finding a few
more. We think several hundred
bushels could be picked up in our
little burg alone.

The temporary rise in the price
of soft wheat above that of the Tur-
key Red, should not be taken at ali
seriously by the dry farmers. The
great demand this year for sof,
wheat is largely due to the shortage
in the supply caused by the floods
in the Mississippi valley. Some Of
the demand is no doubt due the
shortage caused by a great many
dry farmers in this western country
who, realizing the great value of
Turkey Red wheat, have stopped
growing soft wheat entirely. Prac-
tlcally all this soft wheat -four goes
to the southern states where 1t ia
mostly in demand by the biscnit
eating population Of the south. As
soon as equilibrium is again restor.
ed in the soft wheat producing sec-
tions of the Mississippi valley the
soft wheat price will come back to
practically its normal nondition,
and its true value IN comparison to
Turkey Red will be again restored.
Good Turkey Red should always
sell higher than the soft wheats,
due to its superior qualities, and
the recent attempts to give it it's
true selling value in comparison
with soft wheat should not be lost
sight of, due to the more recent but
temporary higher price of soft wheat.
Turkey Red has time and again been
demonstrated to be the best dry
farm wheat we have, and no dry
farmer should be misled into plant
ing soft wheat.
White wheat, either winter or
spring, cannot compare In quality
or yield per acre on the dry farms
to the Turkey Red or Crimean
wheats. These facts have been
clearly demonstrated by the Nephi
Experiment Station of Utah, the
Nebraska Experiment Station, the
Kansas Experiment Station, and the
Montana Experiment Station. Mr..
Farrell, formerly superintendent of
the Nepbi station, states in Circular
No. 81, b. P. l. of the u. 8. De-
partment of Agriculture, that in a
six year test of Turkey, Coffoid,
and Gold Coin, Turkey outyielded
Koffoid 45 bushels per acre, and
Gold Coin IA bushels per acre.
This was an average yearly increase.
In the same six-year period tests'
in winter and spring wbeats were
carried on and an average yearly
difference of 7.04 bushels per acre
in favor of winter wheats shown.
He further states that of so varie-
ties tested Turkey Red led ell va
rieties with a good margin.
In the winter wheat sections of
Montana Turkey Red outyielded
all other varieties, giving an aver
age yield of 32.45 bushels per acre,
and this on four stations.
Turkey wheat having but very
little foliage and thin straw is ma

tnrally adapted to regions of scant
precipitation. II is the most drouth
resisting wheat we have at the pre-
sent time. Its high yielding pow
ers, combined with Its most excell-
ent quality has caused the Kansas
farmers to abandon all other varie-
ties. Khardov, an improved Tur-
key or Crimeau wheat, is now grown
to q greater extent in Kansas than
the original Turkey. Prof. Jardine
of the Kansas Experiment Station
states in Kansas Bulletin No. l76:
"During the past ten years thous-
ands Of varieties of wheat, brought
together from all parts of the world,
have been tried out 10 comparison
With one another on the various
experiment farms of the state, and
the results show conclusively that
the Turkey Red and Khardov wheats
are most ideally adapted to our COM
ditions.' y Invariably they have out.
yielded all other varieties in the
western section Of the state.
Prof. Montgomery of the Nebras-
ka station states in bulletin No.
1875, that in the last ten year per.
iod just passed the average yield
of wheat in Nebraska has been
increased five bushels per acre
for spring wheat and 30 per
cent of the winter wheat grown in
the state is Turkey Red. The Me-
braska station is now putting prac-
tically all it's efforts in wheat i'm
provement, on the breeding up and
the improvement of Turkey wheats.
In order to create demand for
Turkey wheat, and in order TO at
tract buyers, it is very essential
that 3 whole district grow that one
variety and grow it exclusively of
any other. Nothing is gained by
jumping from one variety to an
other. A locality has one sbest''
variety, and that 10 the one to grow.
Different varieties in one locality
are bound to cause mixed grain, as
the threshers seldom clean out their
separa.ors during season, hence in
passing from one to another the
wheats of the different farmers are
passed on 70 one another, and If
there are different varieties there 10
trouble in store.
Don't plant any seed In the con.
sdition that IL came from the ihresh-
err. Plant seed that will grow and
produce strong plants. All seed
should be famed or graded. Il ID
remarkable what change in yield
and quality can be brought about
by simply grading and otherwise
cleaning out the seed before plant
ing. The dry farmer should plant
Turkey Red. Il is the most drouth
resistant wheat we have for the dry
lands, it yields better than any
other variety, and the quality is su-
perior to any other wheat the dry
farmer can successfully produce.
