an analysis recently made of wheat
screenings showed about 33 per cent
of fax and shrunken cereal. 10 per
cent OF foxtail. 8 per cent of bindweed

these mixtures brings to the farm from
5000 to $4,000 seeds. of which in some
cases 100, in other more than $4,000,

WHAT 1T COST ONE MAN TO
SHUN THE STORES AT HOME
When He Ran For Office the Local
Merchants Banded Together
and Defeated Him.

A citizen of means in a town In the
west, more Independent than tactful,
often boosted to his neighbors of his
'1shrewdness'' In purchasing the neces-
saries of life His plan was to have
supplies shipped from a nearby city's
stores that advertised the merchandise
In common demand at unusually low
prices. There came a time when this
Independent and thrifty O. citizen as
pired to a political office, and, urged on
by the i'll advice of his friends, he an
nounced himself as a candidate
The storekeepers of his town had
never seen a cent of his money, and
yet their support was sought by this
ambitious citizen. Had he mended his
ways then and there and begun buying
at home the result might have been
different. But his failure to do this
was his great mistake. He kept on
patronizing out of town merchants
When the votes were counted the
candidate was swamped by his Oppo-
nent. Was the victor disciple of home
trade? Isn't that an unnecessary ques-
ton? Did the fact that he practiced
the principle of home trade weigh in
his favor as a candidate? Another I'M
necessary question.
Moral.-Spend your money in the
town in which you make it and in
the town where you. too, may some
day be counting the votes of your fell
low citizens.

TOO MUCH OF ONE THING
INJURIOUS TO THE GARDEN
Many Patches Fail Because Same Crops
Are Planted Year After Year-Ro-
tation Tends to Even UP Soil.

Many gardens fail because the same
crops are planted year after year The
soil will not prosper under this treat
ment Certain elements used by the
plants grown become almost extinct
This calls for expensive fertilizers to
keep up the production or the soil must
be used for something else. This may
be prevented by proper rotation OF
crops, gardeners at the Kansas Agri-
cultural college say.
The land is treated differently under
rota ton, the faults of one year beng
corrected by good management in an
other year. BY this method no one
element of plant food is exhausted
Rotation tends to even up the SOIL
One crop leaves the land in good phys
ical condition for another. 1t gives it
humus, which all crops must have. In
some years green crops will be turned
under. This gives the soil almost i'm
mediate available plant food and
larger supply Of nitrogen.
The gardener should have plan of
rotation mapped out which will repeat
every nine, eleven, thirteen or any 9TH
er certain number of years according
to the extent of the field and the time
desired. In doing this the same
amount OF all vegetables may be
grown one year with another The
one requirement Of this plan would be
to have the plots of ground the same
size.
As an example of rota ton, potatoes
may be followed by beans, peas or
cabbage. In general, one crop should
be followed by another Of different ma
ture. 1t is not necessary to change
the plots every year. Put one plot In
sweet corn, say. for two years. follow
ed by two years of peas. This should
be followed by two years of potatoes
In this manner the weeds that become
so obnoxious under same cultivation
will be checked or destroyed.
