shocks have been removed may bA
plowed and thus made ready for the
next seasons crop, whereas II the
shocks still occupied the ground, it.
could not be SO plowed.
| Suppose a farmer has reaped his
crop and yet he is unable to get u
machine to thresh it. What should
prevent him from beginning to stack
1t at once? What should hinder him
from continuing to stack until the
whole is completed, if he has still to
wait for the machine to come? Every
stack that he builds means so much
more of his grain rendered safe from
hazard. 1t means so much more Of
his ground put in a condition for be-
ing plowed
While it is true that the stacking
does add to the cost of handling the
crop as compared with threshing
from the shock, it does not add SO
much to the cost as many suppose.
The grain has to be drawn in any
event from the shock, whether
threshed at once or stacked. It does
not involve much more labor to draw
to the stack than to draw to the ma
chine directly. Of course there is
more labor in the extra handling of
the sheaves. The saving of the crop,
however, is the great matter. A lit
tie extra labor is not or should not
be allowed to stand in the way of the
safety of crop after it has BEEN
grown.
1t is we'll to consider this matter
in time. The lesson of 1912 should
not be forgotten. The growth of
straw was very heavy that year. The
harvest was showery. The threshing
machines could not nearly handle the
crop In time. Much of the wheat re.
manned in the shock all winter and
much OF the fax lay in the sheaf
form under the snow until the spring.
But little fall blowing was done in
many localities, to the great injury
OF the crop the following year. This
should not be allowed to occur again.
1t need not be SO allowed. Ordinarily
il farmer loses crop after it has
been reaped, it is, at least measure
bly,, his own fault

n N MANY parts Of the Northwestern
states there Is promise of an abund.
: ant crop of straw. This means q
prolonged season of threshing, even
though the weather should prove ia.
vorable for such work. Should it
prove unfavorable the season is pro.
portionately still further prolonged.
In such an eventuality loss will fol-
low to greater or less extent, as
it did in the autumn of 1912. Is it
not the duty of every farmer to pre-
can he do it? He can do it in part at
least by stacking part of the grain.
In the Northwestern states the
practice of threshing from the shock
is almost universal. 1t is the out
come first of the dry character of the
weather which usually occurs at har-
vest time and subsequently, and Sec
ond of the less labor involved in the
handling of the grain. But when the
growth of straw is unusually abund-
ant, there is always some hazard in
Cured, as the threshing of the grain
must in such case cover very long
period.
That such a result must follow can
be easily shown. Usually the number
of threshing outfits is only suffi-
cient to do the work in normal sea-
son. That season only covers some
eight to ten weeks. This means, how
ever, that some of the grain must
stand in the shock for many weeks
before it is threshed, and this is al
ways attended with more or less OF
loss. A heavy crop of straw will mean
that some of the grain must remain
in the shock for much longer Pc
Rod. 1t will also mean that the loss
will be increased. And if the weather
proves bad it will be still further in
creased
This hazard may be materially re-
duced by stacking a part of the crop,
even though it should prove impossi-
BILE to stack it all. The portion
stacked, If we'll stacked. is safe from
hazard. It may be threshed in the
late autumn even after the ground has
frozen. The land from which the

fair at the Polls Does Not Affect
the General Situation in That
Country.
Washington, July 7-When Presi-
dent Wilson was asked to comment
on Sundays election in Mexico he
laughed and said:
II hardly think any comment from
me is necessary"
When asked if he knew anything of
General Huerta's plans for leaving
Mexico he smiled again and said:
II am afraid / am not in his conf
dence.
The president refused to discuss
mediation.
Jose Vasconcelos Of the Constitu-
tionalist junta here has left for Sal
tillo to report to General Carranza on
mediation, the attitude of the United
States and plans for the resumption
OF business in Northern Mexico.
Rafael Zubaran said no final answer
had come from his chief relative to
participation in the proposed confer
ence over peace plans with the Huer.
ia delegates. The opinion in Consti-
nationalist circles prevalent here is
that no answer will come until the
conference at Torreon between adher-
ents OF Villa and Carranza is con.
cluded.
As to the election, in which General
Huerta appears to have been reflect
ed, Constitutionalist leaders would not
comment further than to say that it
made no difference in the general sit
uatfon. They intimated, however,
that Huerta might still be planning to
appoint a secretary of foreign affairs
to succeed him and then retire.

Be the Winner.
St. Paul, July 7-Trains from all
sections of the country brought hun
areds of delegates to the National Ed.
ucatlonal association convention. The
registration at the Armory has passed
the 5000 mark.
The convention got down to real
business. There were meetings OF
the board of directors and national
council and also the section on man.
ual training and art and the state
surerintendents' section.
There was much maneuvering by
delegates in behalf of candidates for
president OF the N. E. A. David
Starr Jordan's managers We're con-
hdent the California man would be
elected, while D. B. Johnson's friends
were sure their candidate would be
the winner
Meetings of delegates from the sew
eral states were held at the various
state headquarters to choose candi-
dates for appointment on the nomi-
mating committee. On the choice OF
these selections probably will depend
the selection of a president, unless
the convention overrules the recon-
mendations of the committee.
d.. Johnson's friends assert they
already have procured pledges from
enough state delegations to insure the
election of their man.
The headquarters at the Saint
Paul hotel and Armory were busy
places Delegates were met at the
depot by the st. Paul reception COM
mittee and escorted to the Armory
to register. Boy scouts there took up
their duties as guides in directing the
delegates to their hotels and meeting
places.
The exhibits at the Madison school
and Armory have been opened, many
delegates and other visitors inspect
ing the work.
President Joseph Swain took a
strong stand for woman's suffrage
and for the women teachers in his
annual address to the members of
the association.

How You May
Throw Away Your Glasses!

The statement is made that thousands
wear eyeglasses who do not really need
them. If you are one of these unfor-
tunates, then these glasses may be
running your eyes instead of helping
them. Thousands who wear these "win-
dows" may prove for themselves that
they can dispense with glasses If they
will get the following prescription filled at
once: Go to Bowditch- Webster Company
or to any active drug store and get a
bottle of DIPLOMA fill a two-ounce bottle
with warm water and drop in one Optic
ma tablet With this harmless liquid So
luton battle the eyes two to four times
daily, and you are likely to be aston
ished at the results right from the start.
Many who have been told that they
have astigmatism, eye-strain, cataract,
sore eyelids, weak-eyes. conjunctivitis
and other eye disorders, report wonder
full benefits from the use of this prescrip-
ton. Get this prescription filled and
use it, you may SO strengthen your eyes
that glasses will not be necessary.
Thousands who are blind. or nearly so,
or who wear glasses would never have
required them If they had cared for their
eyes in time. Save your eyes before it
Is too late. Do not become one Of those
victims of neglect. Eyeglasses are on
ly like clutches and every few years
they must be changed to At the ever
increasing weakened condition, so better
see II you can. like many others, get
clear. healthy, strong. magnetic eyes
through tho prescription here given.
