SOWING n SEED

In 9 bulletin prepared by Professor
Thomas Shaw, the Great Northern ag.
ricultural expert, farmers are warned
against the kmistske Of sowing too
much seed. They are advised that
in localitieslwhere the rainfall is low,
che amount oflseed should be relative.
ly email.
In the state OF Ohio from seven to
eight pecks of winter wheat are usual
y sown, but iniareas where the rain
fall 10 l5iinchesIand less during the
year, to sowl that much seed would
mean . short: crop no matter how
careful the lsndjshas been prepared.
Why the difference?O l1t may moi be
easy in theCpresentlstate of our know.
ledge to give all the reasons. But We
Can give someiCof them. The chief
reason 10 that whenlmore plants start
on q given area gin dry regions than
the moisture a sustain properly the
plants crowdieand frob each other,
hence none OF themecan reach true and
full development. @ ESPECIALLY they are
liable to suffer when the ripeniug
season lei drawing near, and the
plants are drawing heavily on the
moisture that issin the!soil.
Experience has shown that in areas
where DOT morel than Is inches OF rain
falls in q year, not more than three
pecks OF winter wheat should be sown
on we'll prepared land. 1T has also
been found that four pecks. of Durum
wheat per acre are enough, three to
four pecks of white barley, four pecks
OF oats, four to to 6ve;pecks of speltz
and five pecksl of spring or winter
rye.
1t has been.noticed that in dry areas
grain stoolslmuch more than in humid
areas. Thelressons for this are not
90 apparent, but of the fact there can
not be any doubt. 1t is true, of
course, that the plant food ia much
more abundant in the soil as a rule in
dry areas, ibut the moisture 10 less.
One would naturally reason that abun.
dsnt moistureiwould be favorable to
stooling, and that therefore from the
standpoint of moisture the whea at
would stool more in the humid area
than in the dry area, but it does not.
It stools much less. We may get
along without knowing all the reasons
but we cannot grow good crops in dry
areas where the seed is sown thickly

Everybody knows that boiled milk

that Mrs. Kirby had placed the banks

and Kept there until they produced
$4,000 Of the banks funds which the
court declared they had in their pos.

execution of the order until 8 p. m.
The offense on which the Kirbys
were sentenced was contempt OF

weeks ago to produce the $4,000 and
had failed to do so. Their defense
was that Kirby had lost the money to
fake wire tappers. Judge Lands de-

Judge Lands ruling came after the

with the Kirby bank. He declared
the Kirbys had committed fraud and
