Uses for Old Newspapers

How many housekeepers know the value
Of old newspapers? They are excellent
for many things, says the New York
Sun.
Spread on the kitchen table they catch
crumbs and can be renewed at every meal.
Crumpled in the hand they polish stoves
and remove superfluous grease and dirt
on the stove and on cooking utensils be-
fore they are washed
Placed between quilts they keep the
bed warm. Put in the soles of shoes they
keep the feet warm. Placed across ths
chest they keep the body warm.
Packed around woollens, they act as 4
moth preventer. A firm is now making
paper quilts. These can be made at home
by using newspapers for filling and max
ing the outside of the best grade of crinlx-
led tissue paper A serviceable and pref
ty quilt can be made of white tissue paper
with floral design. 1t lasts one season
and fresh one can be made the next

Streaks III the Oats;
What Caused Them

What caused those streaks iii the
field Of oats belonging to Fred Brown,
Just southwest OF Lake Kampeska?
That's q question that many d man
has asked. In appearance, the north
east corner OF the feld, embracing
perhaps an acre or q, was decidedly
striped. 1t looked as though the
strips represented the seeder9 width
lthey were sown With q drill. the
strips alternating green and ripe. That
is to say, as the drill went in one di-
rection 1T appeared 10 have sown seed
that matured earlier than when 1t
went in the opposite direction.
Mr.. Brown was asked about it BY
a representative of this paper, but his
only explanation was that his seed
became very low In supply when fin-
iEhing drilling, and to make up the
necessary quantity he mixed in an
ether variety. This new variety does
not seem to have matured as early as
the other, he said.
But when 1t was suggested that the
mixture .of seeG would hardly pro-
lduce the alternating strips OF green
and ripe crop throughout the entire
corner where the new seed was used,
he said he would have to give it up, as
he was unable to assign any other
cause for the striped appearance.
1t was suggested by agricultur-
list that possibly the grain was drilled
in deeper as the drill proceeded in
one direction and shallower on the
return trip. That, according to some
farmers, might make some difference
in a season like 1914. But an exam
nation OF the roots failed to indicate
that the seed was sown deeper In one
strip than in the other, for the old
seed appeared to be about the same
depth in each case.
Who, then, can give an accounting
for this phenomenon?

Select Seed Wheat
Now for Next Year

AT harvest time and at ~threshing
time the progressive farmer will look
about him and see who has produced
the greatest yield Of wheat per acre
and who produced the best and the
cleanest seed. From his own obssr-
vations, he may learn something that
may be to his advantage.
When he has found the best yield
ing wheat field, let him ask the owner,
of the field some questions. First,
what kind of seed did you SOW? Sec
ond, how did you happen to SOW IT?
Third. what crop did you have in that
field last year? Fourth, how did you
prepare the ground for the wheat?
When he has the answers to these
questions, let him ask himself these
questions, and then ask himself one
more question. Why wasn't my
wheat as good as this mans best?
/ firmly believe that il every farm
err in South Dakota will ask himself
these question and secure the answers
fairly, and be guided by them, that
farming in South Dakota next year
will be more profitable than 1t has
been this year.
The picking Of seed corn Is empha-
sized all over the country and rightly
SO, but there is not as much emphasis
placed upon seed wheat. II q farmer
has not raised the kind Of seed he
wants to SOW another year, now is 9

had the cleanest field, and secure seed
