ONE BAD MISTAKE
A Costly Error into Which Iowa
Farmers Have Fallen Regarding
the Raising of Winter Wheat in
the Corn Belt.

Do YOU know that winter wheat
is still one of the most profitable
crops that can be grown i'm Iowa?
There are very many farmers who
are getting a yield of from thirty
to forty bushels per acre this year,
and this is not far from what they
get in other years.
A trip through the state during
the past two or three weeks would
bring astonishment to those who
believe that the day of wheat grow
ing in Iowa has gone by. The fact
in the matter is that spring wheat
in Iowa is not success; but this
means nothing whatever as regards
winter wheat, Notwithstanding ma
ny associate the two under hte
same head.
Taken one year with another, win
ter wheat in Iowa is as good or
better than corn. And this is a
solemn fact.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS

Some of Senator Massey's friends
are hugging the deluion that Reno
democrats will scratch Pittman.
The merchants IF Reno are alraedy
figuring how much Massey's vote
on the Commerce court has cost
them in freight rates and when
election day comes the scratching
will all be in Pittman's favor.
An absent member is not an
assest in congress. The man who
who is "not voting" is a negative
quantity and of no real service to
the people whom he is supposed to
represent. Nevada has reached
the stage where she requires a live
wire in the house of representa-
tives. A man who will attend to
his duties and has ability to cope
with those who are trying to block
constructive Legislation. Such a
man is Clay Tallman.
For the first time in years the
democracy of Nevada is united and
working to elect the entire state
ticket. Rumors of defections in
various sections have been traced
down and found to be without
foundation. Even in Reno the old
timers and the new corners are all
working faithfully for the election
of Wilson and Marshall, Pittman
and Tallman, .McCarran and Pratt.
The word "defeat" has been erased
from the democratic dictionary
and one of the most substantial
Wet rries in the history of the state
is in sight.
Senator Massey's private
secretary says the senator voted to
retain the commerce court because
the amendment also contained the
seven year clause relating to civil
service. Which is of most i'm
portance to Nevada. the civil
service or the commerce court?
Senator Massey made a speech
on the question of taxing ships of
foreign countries that will IN the
future pass through the Panama
Canal, but he was silent when it
came to aholishing the commerce
court that has prevented the
elimination of back haul freight
charges in Nevada. He even voted
to retain the commerce court.
P. A. McCarran was called
home by the serious illness of his
wife. He need have no fears as to
the result of the election. When
the votes are counted the majority
for Pat McCarran viii, go over the

Six democratic U. s. Senators
are needed to gain control and have
a senate that will sustain President
Wilson and the house of representa-
tives. Colorado will furnish two of
the six: Tennessee will furni sb
one; Nebraska and New Jersey will
each furnish one; and It's up to
Nevada to furnish ore.-State

Curing the Gapes .

AS there Is quite a number Of
poultry raisers in this city. the fol.
lowing suggestion by T. q. Richey
in the current issue OF Farm and
Home concerning a cure for gapes.
q perplexing scourge just at this
time, as Of interest and may prove
useful:
When the first chick shows symp-
toms Of the gapes, stretching the
neck and gasping for breath, place
the entire brood in a small box,
cover It with a piece of burlap and
sprinkle dry; air-slaked lime over
the burlap cover Gently shake the
cloth 50 the lime will sfft through
and thoroughly ill the air inside
the box.
The aim is to have the chicks
breath this lime-laden air, which is
sure death to the worms lodged in
the chicks windpipe. After two or
three minutes the cover may be re-
moved, and the chicks returned to
the hen or brooder. Repeat every
evening until all symptoms Of the
rtroable have disappeared.
Where chicks have been yarded
on the same ground for two or three
YEARS IN succession, one may expect
an outbreak OF gapes, unless efforts
are made to thoroughly renovate
the soil and XIII the worms in the
ground. The safest plan is to move
the runs TO new ground each sea-
son. Where this is not possible, the
ground should be spaded frequently
and thoroughly lined.

Big Tree Growing

u q Il. 2. 40 y
The forest service is raising sew
eral acres of big tree seedlings on
the Tahoe national forest in Cali
fornia. at more northerly point
than any natural big tree grove.
While the giant sequoias are found
in the forests OF the sterras at vari-
Que points throughout total range
OF some $50 miles, in the northern
two-thirds OF this range there is
practically no natural production.
It has consequently been question
whether the species would not prac-
tically disappear from this region
when the present mature trees die /.
The most northern existing grove
OF big trees is in the Tahoe forest,
but about thirty-four miles south
east Of the site selected for plant
ing. This site is on moist fat
not far from Nevada City, and Is
about s,7O0 feet above sea .level !.
The first seeding was done in the
TALL OF 1910, with very successful re-
suits, and last fan an additional
area was selected.
The method used In planting the
seed that was known to foresters as
"the seed spot method" Spots
about six feet apart each way were
prepared. by pulverizing the earth
with, garden hoe. Seeds were then
droped on these spots and lightly
pressed in the soil with the foot
The flourishing condition of the
young seedlings gives good reason
to expect future growth OF bic
trees at this point. With protection
OF forests from fire there seems te
be no feaon why the big trees should
disappear, even though SCIENTISTS re.
gard them as survivals from past
age. botanically speaking.

Improve Dirt Roads

It Is, a significant fact, and one
worthy Of consideration. that not a
single county that has begun the con-
structi9n of macadam or other i'm
proved roads, has been willing to
call a halt in their construction.
After provision has been made for
raising the revenue for the con
struction of improved roads, the
next question Is expenditure, which
If not done wisely and to the best
advantages. is apt to be the death
blow to good road work in that
community. There. are severa
questions to be considered, as, loca
ton, grade and surtac;ng materia
regarding which It is necessary t.
have the advice of experienced road
