RANCHER's THROAT CUT
Thrown Into Barb Wire Fence
in Runaway.

Nampa.-T. w. Brown, a well
known rancher Of this vicinity, is in
the Nampa hospital in a critical con-
dition, resulting from injuries receiv-
ed in runaway accident Monday
morning. Brown was thrown into a
barb-wire fence, and his throat was
cut so deeply as to puncture his wind
pipe and his esophagus, and the caro-
It'd and jugular veins of his neck. He
suffered heavy loss of blood and a
severe shock generally, and the ply
sicians entertain little hope Of his re-
covery.
Mr.. Brown was driving along the
road near his place with a moving
machine, when his horse became
frightened at passing motorcycle.
The team made short dash down
the road and then ran blindly into
the fence at the side of the highway.
The driver was thrown from his seat
on the machine, going almost head
first into the wire fence.
He received number Of cuts and
bruises about the head and arms.
The cut on his neck is rough, jagged
wound, literally sawed by the sharp
barbs of the fence. The injured
mans condition was such that it was
at first considered advisable to at
tempt to bring him to the hospital
here, but he showed slight improve
ment during the afternoon and was
finally brought to the local hospital
about o'clock Monday evening.
Mr.. Brown resides on what is
known as the Brimberry place, five
miles east of Nampa. He is a man
with family and is about SO years of
age.

FARM BUREAU TALKS
BY H. A. IRELAND
A Suggestion.

n cuS Scotioh>
Practically all the wheat grown in
this country is some of the spring va
rieties. | am not prepared to state
that it should not be SO, but from my
observations this season, | am con-
WINGED that more winter wheat might
be grown to advantage.
growing spring wheat, but sometimes
the reason will admit of argument.
Yield, market, cost of growing the
crop and arrangement of labor are the
things to be considered in the choice
OF varieties. The last two are person
al matters with the farmer so it would
not be wise to advise the general
growing of winter grain to the exclu-
sion of spring varieties, but in the
case of many farmers more advan-
tageous arrangement of labor is pos
sible if part of the work can be dis
posed of in the fall. Hard winter
wheats, such as Turkey Red, are given
little advantage in the market but
other varieties are classed the same
as the spring wheats that are com
monty grown. Yields should be as
good with winter varieties as with
spring varieties with proper methods
of preparing seed bed and sowing.
One of the best fields that have seen
this year was of the Silver Chaff vari-
ETY.. 1t was cut in the middle of July
and threshed before spring wheat and
oats are ripe. This is given merely
by way of suggestion and is to be ia
ken for what it is worth as the advis-
ability of growing winter wheat must
depend upon the growers individual
conditions.
The crop improvement committee
of the Chicago Council of Grain Ex-
change is putting out literature con-
tanning some rules concerning grow
ing wheat that may we'll be quoted:
"Plow early for winter wheat. The
sooner you get your fields plowed for
wheat the better your chances for
good crop next year" Experiments
in Kansas have shown difference of
more than Is bushels per acre on land
plowed July 10, than that plowed Sep
TENDER 10, in favor of the early plow-
ing. Late plowed land should be
thoroughly worked before planting in
order to make it sufficiently firm for
the best growth of wheat. A cor
rugated roller or sub-surface packer
is good for this purpose.
Other rules are: "Use the tanning
mill. The heavier better developed
kernels terminate better than the
light kernels and will stand the
weather with greater vitality"
"Treat your wheat for smut.
There were s35,OOO,OOO wasted in pre-
ventable grain diseases last year."
Adopt Uniform varieties. Ask
the best farmers in your neighborhood
what variety they prefer and get to-
gether on the best one and all breed it !
up. Wheat will not run out" if
careful selection is practiced.
"Test for termination. Count out
a hundred seeds and place between
white blotting paper. Keep moist
and cool. Ninety-six kernels should
sprout. Any less percentage is not fit
to SOW.

this, that Mr.. Brunner. before the
taking OF evidence was concluded

the wrong done, and plead guilty
to the charge. He was sentenced
by the court to pay a fine OF two
