Summer Fallow Listing
CONTINUED From PAGE ONE

Mr.. Light gives this as th,
method he pursues in his summer
fallow plan and is practically thu
way most of the record wheat fol-
this season was raised. His meth
cd one will readily understand i.
to prepare only half or part of 9
farm each year. He figures thai
it is the best to pay a harvesting
or threshing crew once in two
years for a big yield of grain thar
every year for a small production,
that is if one has not more than
a quarter section or two of land.
He is right about the theory that
the harvesting and threshing will
run up to certain amount wheth-
or the grain is heavy or not; and
this amount will be practically
the same each year if only fair
or below the average is harvested.
But if the summer fallow plan is
followed and the grain is much
more productive the costs will not
be much greater, though natur-
ally little more.
First he says, list in the fall.
List deep and leave the burrows
to catch the moisture during the
winter or spring. The snow, if
Inclined to blow, will pack in the
ridges and the moisture will be
pack in the ridges and the mois-
ture will be deeper upon the earth
than if a fiat seed bed is prepared.
When weeds start in the spring
bust" the ridges deep and keep
all the weeds down with a disc
harrow. Then about the middle
of August until the 18th of Sep
TENDER SOW the seed wheat. If
there is not moisture enough to
bring the wheat up at this time
sow anyway. Don't wait until
later thinking to beat the grass
hopper. Late sowed wheat never
makes the yield of the early SOW.
ing. In this way one has all the
year to prepare his seen bed. In
1913 this method was tried here
and the result was a Yield of 32
bushels to the acre" He prefers
fall listing" that is, beginning
in the fall, but if it is too dry
then he advocates listing early in
the spring, bust ridges" when
weeds come. Have a loose seed
bed at time of sowing. Work
ground with disc harrow after
each rain which is the secret of
conservation"

The New Agriculture

According to the financial Sec
tion of the New York Evening
Post, in the East people are still
apt to scoff at the scientific farming
propaganda of the West. But. I"
adds the Post, it's virtue is now
being shown" and that paper
quotes the financial letter of an OBJ
server of the grain fields. The
effect of hot, dry weather." he
says, has to a most remarkable
degree been Offset by the intelli-
gent application on the part of the
farmers of scientific methods of
modern agriculture. Practical ap-
plication of dry farming methods
in sections where such methods
are rarely needed has been of in
calculable value, and it has prac-
tically saved a large part of the
crops" We don't know where
this crop observer hailed from,
but his is the right kind of talk.
For years the Agricultural colleg-
es, and experiment stations iu
farmers institutes in instruction
at their plants in sending young
farmers home to apply the new
methods and processes, have been
giving out great waves of new
knowledge. What the effect has
been we do not pretend to know.
Sometimes the new experts seem
to be disheartened. But we be-
lieve that this expenditure OF en-
ergy is far from being in vain.
Unexpectedly its fruits will make
themselves visible, as may have
been the case in the locality from
which the remark quoted above is
taken. Possibly the new agricul-
ture may have had something to
do with the good returns that are
now reported, far better than was
expected, from the Kansas wheat
fields, where the quality of the
wheat is said to beat the record.
and yields of from 20 to 40 bush
els are not uncommon. The corn
failure is practical warning that
everything the new scientific ag-
riculture has in its sack, or up its
sleeve, is needed, when crops at
their best are below growing re-
quirements. Topeka Daily Cap

Seed Wheat

Our people will recall the short
age of wheat among our farmers
a couple of years ago in South
west Kansas and how the mer-
chants, bankers and real estate
men, offered help and supplied
those needing seed to SOW. 1t will
also be recalled that this resulted
in increasing by some thousand
of acres the land put under cult
walton and resulted in Tightening
the bonds of fellowship making
each fellow feel responsible for
the welfare of the other fellow in
the community. Right now we
are facing a similar situation
where help must be extended or
the country will sustain a loss of
inhabitants. Without seed. and
without resources to purchase it,
they have no alternative than to
abandon their seeding. Mer-
chants, bankers and every person
interested in the development and
prosperity of tn 9 community
should get into the seed furnish
ing movement. Call a meeting
or have it done and when it is
scheduled be the first man to put
your shoulder under the wheel
and tell them you will help.

Henry Hammontree suffered
from quite an accident last Satur-
day. He had gone to town with
Mrs. Bigelow to bring out some
goods and after he had gotten the
team and was driving to the ice
plant, one of the mules became
frightened, jumped sidewise and
pulled the clip off the neckyoke.
This frightened the other mule
and he started to run and the
tongue run into the ground and
broke, throwing Mr., Hammontree
out, bruising him up considerable.
The mules got loose and started
toward home but were caught and
atter tne wagon was repaired they
made it home and Mr.. Hammond
tree is nearly recovered now.

Notice to Correspondents

THE correspondents will notice
that there are several communities
with heading of Route No. A.
and different communities are rep

choose more definite heading it
will distinguish each neighbor-
hood and make each contributor
feel that his articles are more
personal. Do not sign fictlcious
names; but sign each weeks con.

Love Instead of Retaliation

Rev. Hockett, of the Friends
church. delivered sermon Sun.
day night at the open air meeting
that will either make the man
most popular or much criticised.
Ii his version of what the scrip
tural injunction, Love thy neigh
Dor as myself" means, is lived up
to as he expressed his belief it
should be, the religious and social
life of the community can not
help but be much better. Some
people," he said. "love their
friends, but this injunction means
to love your enemies, the people
you don't like" If the church
lives up to this" he continued,
men will come to that church
because they want to be saved. {"
he also said that he believed that
the ministers of the city had the
best fellowship of any place he
had ever been and that the most
friendly feeling existed among
them. Next Sunday Rev. FRS
bic, the fun maker for the crowd,
will address the audience at the
services.

a growing business and the pro-

customers, The Citizens State
Bank has just installed 1850

Chautauqua Closed

Saturday evening the Imperial
Guards band, closed the fifth day
of the chautsuqua, the second
season for that attraction in this
city. 1t is Needless to make the
remark that considering the num-
bers as a whole that the chautau-
qua was a success, not financially,
however for a single guarantor
who signed up as security to
bring the several attractions to
this city, not man among them
made one penny-did not expect
to-but a whole lot of them work
ed hard and spent considerable
time in selling tickets and doing
the hundred and one little things
that are required in an undertake
ing of this kind.
At the close when all expendit-
urss were paid and obligations
met it was announced that the
signers, as the security for the
chautauqua, had come out even
with the board and every one was
pleased to know that no one was
compelled to check on his per-
sonal account to pay for the good
time furnished the ticket holders
and visitors.
When the vote was taken am
ong the audience, whether or not
the people wanted another season,
nearly every hand went up and
Friday and Saturday a committee
secured signers for next year.
More than fifty have all ready
signed the contract and more have
expressed their willingness to help
shoulder the burden next year.
Some people object to this form
of divergence, on the ground that
little of the money which is paid
to these travelling companies is
spent locally, The truth may be
such; but is it fair altogether to
refuse to allow peoele who can
not afford to go to the lal e cities
q little enjoyment9 Is it fair to
those who can not afford an ont
ing to kept them Flooding along
year after year with the same
thoughts, the same old way of do.
ing and seeing things9 Suppose
the stay-at-hOmes should object
to your taking a trip to Colorado
on the grounds that the money
it required was not spent at home,
or that you spent money visiting
away from home that could be
applied at homeY Would it seem
fair or plausible9.
Any way 1914 will see a bigger
and better chautauqua. 1t has
come to stay.
