Farmers; Be Careful
of Your Seed Wheat

"The best time to seed wheat, &C.
cording to date of seeding test
which the experiment station has
been conducting in many sections OF
the state during the past five years,
is between September 20 and Octo-
Der 15. In the northern and west
ern parts Of the state the early
seeding, that is, the last two weeks
of September, have given best re-
suits, while as one goes southwark
later dates up to October ID are
best. According to this information
and our general observations, there
is still plenty of time left In which
to plant wheat under favorable con-
ditions. MY advice regarding the
planting of wheat would be to wait
until the dates above mentioned be-
fore planting unless rains have re-

Farmers should be careful about
making termination tests" Dean
Jardine of the agricultural college
says. "a little formalin added to the
water when the seeds are placed be-
tween blotting paper for testing will
prevent mold from forming. In our
tests the use Of this disinfectant
made q difference of nearly 25 per
cent III favor Of better seed. That
is. when ~ used only water, only
Is per cent of he seed germinated,
Ehilel ~ Athe use Of formalin mold
was prevented and 9S per cent OF
the seed sprouted. The temperature
should be right, too. From rs to so
degrees is the most favorable. Tenn

prevailed in the state in the last
three weeks undoubtedly were re-
sponsible for. many poor germina-
tion tests.

PARK UNION SERVICES
ARE OVER FOR SEASON

The last of the series of summe
union meetings occurred Sunday
Owing to the cool weather it wal
held in the Lutheran church instead
of ON the library lawn. Rev. DR.
Blayney was the preacher. He
spoke concerning the proper appre-
hension of, approach to and appre-
citation of God, and the sort Of re-
ligious life that would result from
this. 1t was an interesting discourse
and followed logically the other
two that he gave this summer.
Special music was given by Mrs.
Lomax, Mr.. Fritz and the ladies'
chorus of the Christian church.
These union meetings have been
very enjoyable and the library lawn
proved to be an ideal location for
them. There isn't a very much hot
ter place in town than a church
building after an August sun has
shone upon it all day, especially on
Sunday. The people attended the
meetings in large numbers and sat
heroically on the backless benches,
which speaks well for the strength
of the backbone of the Christian |
people of Abilene. The singers Of

Kansas has or can have at so small
IN expense. Kansas does not need
large quantities OF stone and other
expensive road building material to
make 80 per cent of her roads good
enough. A heavy soil, we'll drained,
and gravel for natural macadam in
the spots lacking in drainage, with
proper grading and drag surfacing,
makes Kansas road building easy.
IF Kansas farmers are not inter-
ested in good roads, their talk and
actions do not show it. We talked
with at least a hundred farmers
who inquired how we liked the
roads, and each reassuringly said
they would be 100 per cent better
next year at this time. 1t is our
opinion that farmers along the
3olden Belt are proud of the work
and are interested in
eeing still more done.

American people placed Wilson and the

grown upin the land and and they ars
going about very sensibly to perform
the task. They may fail to meet the
situation and thereby please the people,
but they are not going to make the
more inglorious failure Of refusing to
make sincere attempt to carry out
their platform pledges, as did the repub-

fail with the tariff no one can say truth
fully that they did not conscientiously
