Where and How To Sow Wheat.

Wheat, says ". L. Hutchinson, pro-
lessor of AgronOmy of Clemson Col
lege, in discussing how to grow this
crop, prefers heavy loans and clay
soils, and is not as we'll suited to the
sandy lands as are oats. The Pied
mont section is excellent for wheat.
especially the heavier soils that are
in good condition, though good yields
may be made on poorer soils by heavy
fertilization.
Land for wheat should be plowed
and thoroughly fitted and pulverized
with the harrow and rollers so that
the seedbed will be firm with a thin
layer of loose soil at the surface. A
drill is the best implement for seed
ing, but If a drill cannot be obtained
the wheat may be sown broadcast and
disl1ed III. Drills apply the fertilizer
and SOW the seed SO satisfactorily
that this method Of seeding is ad-
vised. Good small drills are to be
had at moderate cost for seeding small
areas.
Sow five Or six pecks to the acre.
advises Prof. Hutchinson. November
is a good time to SOW wheat, though
it may be sOwn a little earlier Or a
little later with good results.
At planting time, fertiiize with a
mixture of equal parts Of ~cottonseed
meal and acid phosphate at the rate
of 500 pounds or more to the acre
then top dress in March with 100 te
$50 pannds Of nitrate OF soda.
The average yield OF wheat for tht
United States is fourteen bushels t
the acre, but it is not a difficult thing
for farmers to grow twenty bushel
per acre, and some make as much a
thirty bushels. A crop of wheat vii
not interfere In any way with mex
summers crops.

them open, but never sit in a draught-
When you get up open the windows
wide and throw back h bedclothes
that they may be exposed to fresh air
some hours daily before they are made
up. Keep your bedclothes clean:
avoid wearing at night what you wear
in the day. Hang up your dayclothes
at night.
Sleep with open windows. but do

will find one window pane Of perfo-

catch cold half SO easy by breathing

for stimulants.
Pure water is needfui for your

SOUTHERN DAIRY
CONDITIONS

Bradley Hancock. j.. 81 F'ruitdale.
Ala. n the Home and Farm
There Is no section OF the country
which offers more profitable adnan-
Tor the dairy industry than the
South does now.
The cheap Lands make it possible 10
begin the business IN daITying IN the
South with a far less outlay Of ready
capital than any other section Of the
United States.
Under the new and improved con
ditlen Of farming, five times ~ much
corn Il grown 10 the acre now. as was
grown ten years age. Corn grows VOL
aii over the South. and j. more gen
orally used for Silage than any other
crop, and from the fact that corn
IS adapted to almost all silos, the
wide difference OF time during which
ii may be planted, and its luxuriant
growth in the Southern climate. makes
corn the most important croD for the
silO.
Nhen necessary sweet sorghum al
often be planted later than Indian
corn. and often the former makes
a greater yield. Combining the In
dian corn and sorghum makes a
splendid silage. and is very much
liked By dairy COWS.
In the old days little attention
"0S poAt ~ h4ilN ana Dlillt1 Ill the
South. There was usually plenty of
I for home use, but very little OF
either was sold in market. The cows
struggled through the fall and win
ter on dry food alone.
The SiIo Has Changed All This.
Corn ensilage adds p~alatability and
the needed succulence to the dry feed
and makes it much easier to diges'
the rest of the ration. The silo is
also a great space saver as we'll as {
saver of abOr for four or five ton!
of silage can be stored in the spac
required for one ton Of hay.
All through the period of fall ane
winter. as well as early spring, en-
Stage provides the juicinesS which i
so necessary in the food for the pro
duction OF milk and butter, and which
before the coming of the silo, wa
obtainable only from the young an
tender grasses Of spring and sum
mer. When a farmer or dairyma1
has provided himself with a we'll
filed silos there is no reason why tn
flow Of milk should not be kept u
all through the winter. The feedin
Of sweet, succulent silage will furnis
June pastureage during the long win
ter months.
While the silo is one of the grea
improvements of the age, the new an
improved cream s~eparatCrs are cor
tributing their part also. While tn
? Northern dairymen have been usin
the cream separator for some year
it is only during the past half decad

movement to help them. Then it was
that Mrs. Groner conceived the idea
to help the cotton grower and the Red
Cross and she has already put the
idea into effect in New York City.
The first bales went on sale last
Saturday in the McAlpin Hotel, where
Mrs. Grocer is conducting the Dan
SAINTS.
When / landed in New York" said
Mrs. Groner, to a reporter for the
Ledger-Dispatch, the first thing that
confronted me was the cotton situa-
ton and | Immediately tried to evolve
some scheme through which I could
help the cotton over and the
wounded in Europe. The idea that I
hit upon was to have surgical cotton
put up in miniature bales Of different
sizes and | applied for patent. These
bales are to sell for from ten cents to
one dollar, according 10 the size and
a tag is to be put or each bale. When
a bale is purchased the name of the
purchaser is written on the tag and it
is sent to Mrs. Aston to be used IN
dressing the wounds of the soldiers"
Mrs. Groner went 10 Europe with
Miss Anna Case, of the Metropolitan
Opera Company. They first visited
switzerland and were on their way to
Munich when the war began. She wit
messed the mobilization OF the Swiss
| soldiers. then went through France
and was in Paris at the time of the
siege. She said the French people
showed a marvellous spirit through II
| all. The cafes we're all closed. she
said, and the people were in mourn-
ing. Everybody but the aged and de-
crepid in France had gone to war.
said Mrs. Groner. while in London
the cafes were all open, social func-
tions were on end il did not appear
that a war was being waged.
Those in Norfolk who desire to help
in the cause can write Mrs. Groner 81

Aid The Cotton Growers and
Red Cross At The Same Time

In the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch of
Tuesday, there appeared an article
giving an account of an interview with
Mrs. Mary Pace Groner, in which
there are some valuable suggestions
in the matter Of the cotton situation.
Mrs. Groner. who is a native Of Rich
mond. Va, is we'll known in Raleigh,
what she says will be read with much
interest. The article follows:
Where there is a will there is a
way" is an axiom that Mrs. Mary
Pace believes in implicitly. She also
believes in the old saying hat charity
prove that both are correct. Realizing
hat everybody cannot buy a bale OF
cotton Mrs. Groner a conceived an
idea which she believes, will enable a
vast majority Of the people to help the
cotton growers TO a small extent, at
least, and at the same time help the
Red Cross in taking care OF the
wounded soldiers in the great Euro
pean war. The scheme is to put up
surgical cotton in miniature bales: to
sell them for insignificant amounts,
and then send the cotton to Europe
for dressing the wounds Of the lnJur-
ed soldiers.
Mrs. Groner has just returned from
Europe. where she visited many OF
the countries and all but a few of the
large cities. 1t was when she was
winding up her tour of the continent
that she stopped at Plymouth, Eng
land, and saw Mrs. Waldorf Astor
one of her former intimate friends
Mr.. Aston was at the front with the
| British army and Mrs. Astor was nurS'
ing the wounded soldiers. When Mrs
Groner reached New York h heart
