INCREASED YIELDS
Selection Of Best Grain Seeds
Used on Improved Soils Is
Profitable Practice.
py PROF. 0. d. CARTERD

Improved soil, improved seed and
plants and more thorough cultivation;
the application OF science to agricul-
ture and science Is simply organized
common sense.
The improvement of seed alone will
come TO little, for the use of the most
improved seed on soil low In fertility
or in poor physical condition Will be
disappointing, but good results VIII
come Of planting improved seed on
improved soil,
We have failed to recognize that
among corn plants and among oat and
wheat plants there is just as marked
individuality as among men or among
animals.
When we recognize this character

grain with the thought OF vigor and
prolifcacy OF plant In mind. We are
making a great advance toward larger
yields
Let the selection Of small grain for
better seed begin with the tanning
MILL 1t has been proved that both the
yield and quality of grain can thus be
increased,
II we will add to this the selection
Of heavy yielding and vigorous grow
Ing plants, as we find them In the
field. our yields will far exceed 80
bushels for oats and IA bushels for
wheat as is the state average for the
past % years.
A third requisite Is better and more
thorough cultivation, including better
preparation Of the seed bed and better
seeding as well as better after cult

The very large number OF queries !
have answered on this subject show
that there is q widespread desire for
information among farmers as to how
they can most easily and cheaply i'm
prove their poor pastures.
| always answer this question with
particular interest: for. travelling about
as | have done. have seen thousands
and thousands Of acres Of the most
miserable pastures In every part OF
the country. and l always hope that
my querist Is one of those whose poor
pastures have seen, and that at last
he Is making an effort to do something
toward their improvement.
There Is nothing on a farm which
can be so easily and cheaply improved
as pasture. An old saying has 1t that
anything that comes out Of the tail
of cart will improve grass; and al
though there Is great deal Of truth
In this remark, yet little knowledge
of what the pasture really requires
will help considerably toward improv-
ing 1t at low cost.
Newly sown down grasses nearly al
ways require the addition Of nitrogen
to stimulate their growth, both above
and below ground. There Is not the
slightest doubt that the best form in
which this can be supplied Is as
dressing Of farmyard manure, but
where this is not available. 1t is aston
ishing what can be done with 100 or
$50 pounds of nitrate OF soda or 100
pounds Of sulphate Of ammonia per
acre. provided the field Is grazed and
not moved.
II would be well, however, when en-
couragng the grass by means Of nj
trate of soda or sulphate Of ammonia.

dance OF mineral matter present In

Goodyear Prices
It is Folly Today to Pay More

There exists now a new, compelling
reason for buying Goodyear tires. 1t re-
suits from War conditions.
These leading tires-built of extra.fine
rubber, in the same way a. always-are
selling today at June prices.
You will find today very wide difference
between most tire prices and Coodyears.
Due to Quick Action
Early in August-when war began-the
worlds rubber markets seemed closed to u.s.
Rubber prices doubled almost over night
Men could see no way to pay for rubber
abroad, and no way to bring it in. We, like
others-in that panc-were forced to higher
prices But we have since gone back to prices
we charged before the war, and this is how
we did it:
We had men in London and Singapore when
the war broke out The larger part Of the
worlds rubber supply comes through there.
We cabled them to buy up the pick of the rub
Der. They bought-before the advance, $780,
600 pounds of the finest rubber there.
Nearly all this is now on the way to US.
And it means practically all of the extra-grade
rubber obtainable abroad
Today we have our own men in Colombo,
Singapore and Para. Those are the worlds
chief sources of rubber. So We are pretty well
assured of constant supply, and our pick Of
the best that's produced.
We were first on the ground. We were quick
est in action. As result, we shall soon have in

Tires at
Before-War Prices

storage an almost record supply Of this extra
grade Of rubber.
And we paid about June prices.
Now Inferior Grades Cost Double
About the only crude rubber available now
for many makers is inferior In ordinary times,
the best tire makers refuse it. Much of it had
been rejected But that "of rubber" now sells
for much more than we paid for the best.
The results are these:
Tire prices in general are far in advance Of
Goodyears. And many tire makers, short Of
supplies, will be forced to use second-grade
rubber.
Be Careful Now
In Goodyears we pledge you the same grade
tire as always And that grade won for Good
years the top place in Tiredom-the largest sale
in the world.
And, for the time being our prices are the
same as before the war. We shall try to keep
them there.
We accept no excessive orders, but dealers
will be kept supplied. And we charge them,
until further notice, only ante-bellum prices.
That means that Coodyears-the best
tires built-are selling way below other tires.

to be four letters and a post card.
There is also another letter, but 1t

To the Voters of
the State of

Greeting: I take this method of an
nouncing my candidacy for the office
of State Superintendent of Public In
struction. subject to the voters at the
Republican primary election to be held
Sept 1.
If elected to this position. I pledge
myself to the following policy:
F1rst-To support the State Board
Of Education and the Commissioner
Of Education in their efforts to unity
and make more effective the educa-
tional system OF the state.
Second-To put forth every effort
to eliminate the duplication which ex-
lists in the two offices at the present
time by placing the work of the super
intendent's office under the direction of
the State Board and the Commissioner
Of Education.
Third-To ask for no separate leg
islative appropriation for the Super
intendent's office, thus eliminating at
once the duplication of expense in
conducting the two offices.
Fourth-To use every effort to have
a resolution introduced at the next
session Of the legislature abolishing the
office Of superintendent of Public In
struction.
In doing this I am prompted by no
other motives than a sincere desire to
further the interests of the educational
work of the state and an earnest wish
that no backward step may be taken
in the great forward movement which
has been launched by the present
superintendent of Public instruction.

Commissioner of Education.
