ADVICE TO

The prediction that wheat prices
will be maintained at such high level
that farmers will find it profitable to
devote a large acreage to that crop,
is the subject of timely editorial com
ment by the Dakota Farmer. This ex.
pert authority discusses the subject
in part as follows:
wheat is bound to be high next
year; raise all you can," is the text OF
articles appearing in many papers
and indeed it seems to be the opinion
of many that this is the proper thing
to do.
Yes, wheat may be high-very like
ly will be as high or higher than it il
now
And IL a sufficient yield-per-acre i:
obtained, no doubt wheat will be ;
profitable crop next year.
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1914-10-28

But do you remember those years
when the average farmer did not raise
enough wheat per acre to wad a gun?
Do you remember those years when
in many localities even the best farm
ers didn't cut an acre of wheat; and
when much of the wheat cut did not
pay for the expense?
Haven't you-most of you anyway
been exerting every effort to get away
from exclusive wheat raising? Haven't
you realized the Importance of getting
into stock more? Haven't you been
raising some corn, a little winter
rye, a few acres of potatoes? Haven't
you discovered that there are several
varieties of forage crops which will
do well practically every year, and
that by exercising proper forethought
you can produce feed for stock every
year?
Have you noticed the splendid green
of the alfalfa fields this fall, even in
the localities where a few days of
whitening winds cooked the wheat?
Do you remember the years when
wheat was high and you hadn't ANY
or only a very little-to sell: the
years when the wheat you did raise
cost you from $3.50 to $1,000 a bushel
and more-to produce?
What good did high prices do you
then?
Then why should we plunge on
wheat? Haven't most of the "old-
timers been stung enough"
Safety first" is coming to he we'll
| nigh a national slogan. First the rail-
roads took it up; and some of the
| companies have achieved wonderful
| results by pounding the idea of safety
into everyone connected with the
road, from the president down. T!.en
factories all over the country took
up the idea, with the result of wonder
full SAVINGS in producing cost, in adj
ditior to the saving of lie and limb.
The idea has now been introduced IL.
tn luslucss of all kinds: and while
the aris,nal idea CT safety first was
to safeguard life and limb it now
means to safeguard the business in
every possible way.
And why shouldn't farmers adopt
this slogan? If it is good for business
of other kinds, it is good for the bust.
ness of farming.
1t has taken us-some of us-many
years to learn that there is more to
wheat raising than merely to scratch
the ground and shoot in the seed. 1t
has been demonstrated that good
farming pays, even in the raising of
wheat.
So let us apply the knowledge gain
ed through the years and this idea OF
safety first" to this matter of wheat
raising. If the prices are to be high
next year we want to participate in
the profit thereof. But we must raise
a crop of sufficient yield-per-acre il
even high prices are profitable.
So let us get after this yield-per
acre business and try to give every
acre planted the best possible chance
to produce a profitable crop. Deel

and cultivation are all important fac
tors.

OF INTEREST TO
ILLINOIS HUNTERS
Deputy Game Warden Clark Explains
About sunset and Sunrise
Limitations Of Law.

The following will be Of interest to
Illinois hunters and those from Iowa
who hunt across the river:
Some hunters have been guilty
lately, Of shooting game between sun
set and sunrise. and complaints have
reached Deputy Game Warden Charles
Clarke. This Is as much Of viola.
ton OF the state hunting law as shoot
ing game out Of season.
The law explicitly provides that NO
game may be killed in this state dur.
ing the hours between sunset OF one
day and sunrise Of the next day. This
provision applies to every day in the
year and affects every kind Of game.
The fact that game is killed in the
legal open season does not alter the ef.
feet of this daylight law at all, and
the law does not even provide that
game may be killed during the day
light hours-it must be after sunrise
and before sunset.
Hunters who want to shoot right up
to the legal time limit OF any day win
do well to study the almanac and
learn the exact hour Of sunset and
sunrise of the particular day on which
they are hunting, SO that even though
the sun may not shine at all that day,
they will still be within the law and
avoid prosecution.

port scores the state for paying low
wages to teachers. He asserts that
the teachers salaries in this state
are all but disgrace to the state. I
The state compares unusually IA
vorably with other states in the
amount Of money spent per pupil in
education, but the tendency to main
tain too many small schools with
poorly prepared teachers. has used
up the fund, he says. The inspector
recommends fewer teachers, better
prepared and higher paid.
Massachusetts, which is fourth in

paid to teachers, has one teacher for
every thirty-nve pupils. Iowa is thir

has one teacher for every nineteen
