Eleyenyear.old Tommy has quite
decided opinions as to the duties of
fathers to their little boys. The other
day he was describing to his mother
the sort OF father he intends TO be
when he grows up.
I'm going to be the best father to
my boys. I'm going to play marbles
with them and baseball and every
thing they want mo to and I'll give
them dimes most every day and tell
them they can buy all the Ice cream
they want, and I'll get them each n
pony, and, well, my boys'll have lots
of fun"
Tommy's mother, with twinkle in
her eye, said: But, Tommy, what II
you shouldn't have ans little boys;
what II your children are all girls?'
Such possibility never entered
Tommy's head. The suggestion was
appalling. A look OF blank dlsmay
passed over the child's face.
Gee, that would be the dickens"
he calculated.

SOILS ADAPTED TO WHEAT
BY NJ. r, Miller, Professor of Aeron.

An ideal wheat soil is one with
good drainage, with a medium to fine
texture, and one of good fertility
Lack of drainage is one of the great.
est obstacles to winter wheat.grow.
ing. II Is on poorly drained lands
that the alternate freezing and thaw.
ing of late winter has its greatest e..
feet in causing 'heaving."
The direct freezing out OF wheat In
winters of light snowfall is also worse
on wet lands. Good wheat can some.
times be grown on land that Is In.
cllned to be wet, but II is never sure
This is particularly true on the tight
soils of the more level prairies aud
heavy clay loan bottom lands.
The time of year when wheat Is
seeded naturally affects the freezing
out. While II Ia usually the la,e.sown
wheat that is most affected. some.
times the condition is reversed. The
manner of sowing is also an impor.
tant factor. Wheat sown with a drill
which throws marked burrows and
ridges is usually much less apt TO
freeze out than that sown on ground
left more level
In general, seasonable seeding on

Development and Life Cycle.
The chinch bug lives through the
winter rs a mature insect in open
fields and meadows which are heavily
covered with sod and trash. It also
lives in woods. under leaves, In corn
shock, in straw, weedy fence rows
and other protected places. With a
mild winter like the past. practically
all the chinch bugs live through, and
are ready to fly In search of food In
carly spring. They usually first at,
tack wheat, though not infrequently
they viii injure the early corn.
These "winterover adults" suck SAP
from the plant for time and then be
gin to lay small eggs at the base of
wheat plants, and from these hatch

gin sucking sap. AS rule, these
Young bugs are Just about mature
when the wheat Ia cut. and, being de

they move on foot TO corn fields

Those which reach corn soon com

second brood of young, which feed OF
the sap of corn and mature and later
