THE IDEAL SEED BED FOR THE WHEAT

Experience shows that an ideal seed
bed is a firm, well-compacted soil. To
prepare a firm seed-bed from a soil
that has been previously worked
requires time. 1t is not accomplished
in a day, a week or month; it is the
result of many days of settling, some
good packing rains and frequent
cultivation with the disk, Acme
or spfke-tooth harrow Thus, the time
necessary for the preparation of the
ideal seed-bed is at hand only when
the preparation of the ground is
started early The advantages of a
firm seed-b bed that result from early
blowing or listing and frequent sub
sequent cultivation cannot be over
estimated a firm sed-bed is abso-
lutely necessary if the subsoil water
is to be utilized by the young wheat
plant. On loose, poorly packed soil
there is such poor connection between
the soil particles that moisture cannot
be raised by capillary attraction from
the subsoiI. Under this condition the
soil may be well supplied with subsoil
moisture and the wheat fail to ger
inmate because of the loose condition
of the soil, which prevents the rise of
water.
A firm seed-bed is only one of a
number of benefits that result from
the early preparation of the soil

IN THE HIMALAYAS
Preaching the Gospel to People
of the Hill Country.
Rev. William Greet Tells of Work He
and His Wife Accomplished
Amongst Tehri and
HIndi Men.

Another report of adventure, toll,
and conquest comes from the Tehrt
Border Village mission among the
Himalaya mountains, where Rev. VIII
liam Greet and his wife are carrying
the gospel message to the people of
the hill country.
THE past seasons touring" writes
Mr.. Greet, "totaled up more than that
of any previous season, and included
reaching into some new country. One
Of my first trips away from our fam
lily camp, after the writing of our last
letter, was to see poor old Prema at
Nauta. There he sat by the little wa
ter-mill, blind and very helpless, try
ing to care for the peoples flour. In
the Judgment of some who have lately
seen him, he seems a believer.
I'VE returned to our home in Janu-
airy for a few weeks and then went
out again to stay till April This
time we pushed forward at once to
Devasari, a neighborhoOd of many
villages which last season we were
prevented from reaching. We pitched
our camp on the edge Of pine wood
and close to a small raVine, on the
other side Of which lay a long line of
villages Close by our tent was the
temple to which, on special occasions,
the people gathered from all sides.
My memory goes back many years
to some remarkable results from the
very first visits to simple villagers IN
the plains who accepted Christ at once
and stood faithful till death, but gen
orally where people are laid hold of, it
is after continued presentation Of
the truth. A most encouraging thing
during our touring in the hills this
past springtime was the extent to
which the truth of the Gospel was al
mitted by a man who has served US
for years, but had always passively re-
sisted all we said He sat with me at
the close of hot journey up long
gorge to a village, where we found
only one man, a lad and a child at
home. We conversed under the shade
of an apricot tree, concerning the Way
of Life and other ways, and at the
close our man, who has nearly always
boosted of the superiority of his own
religion, said to the village man, We
shall have to come to it, This religion
will win its way everywhere and all
will at some time have to yield, will

NEED A COLLEGE EDUCATION.

NEED A COLLEGE EDUCATION.
The vital question to be answered
by the thousands of young men and
women in Kansas who have finished
the public school or who have ex-
hausted the high school resources
within their reach is whether they
can afford to end their formal educa-
ton at that point or whether they
should further prepare themselves for
the greatest possible success by at
tending college. To stop short Of
college education, with the great prob
lens before America to-day, is to the
young men and women Of Kansas the
placing of a definite limit upon their
usefulness in life. America is to-day
sending forth a constant appeal for
trained men and women TO help meet
the great social. economic and indus
trial problems now confronting her
people-President H. J. Waters.

pies is stopped, an interstate packing

states; but a broader, more compre-
hensive association is necessary.
