aHOLD YOUR WHEAT

Kansas farmers will II well to hold
on their farms as much wheat as their
circumstances reasonably warrant.
This is the statement of W. II. Jatdine,
dean Of agriculture in the Kansas State
Agricultural College. The conclusion
was reached at a conference of grain
men. railroad officials, elevator men
and others.
The present price, which is from 50
to IS cents, is low, and is brought
about, says Dean Jardine, largely be-
cause farmers are rushing their wheat
to market faster than it can be taken
care of, thus Causing congestion at ter
minal points. The worlds wheat crop
is not unusually large, and there will
be more wheat exported from the
United States than in several years
past, which is not likely to result in a
low price for the coming year. The
lowest price, according to Dean Jardine,
will probably be reached in the next
six weeks, and farmers will be obserV-
ing good business methods in holding
their grain for higher figure.
A serious car shortage and conse-
quent congestion in marketing the
wheat crop can be avoided, says Prof
lessor JaEdine, only by close coopera
ton among all parsons interested, in
Guiding the farmer. Arrangements are
being made to have local railroad agents
furnished with information as to inabii
ity OF wharf, steamship and elevator
companies to dispose promptly Of grain
entering gulf ports. This will get in
formation to local shippers.

Marketing Wheat

Farmers who have large quantities OF
wheat will do well to listen to the adj
vice given by the Secretary of Agricul-
ture and others in regard to marketing.
The price is now low and no doubt will
be lower as threshing progress Ses. Re
member that difference of five cents
per bushel on 10, 900 bushels means $500.
This is an item too large to overlook
Would it not be good plan to r9top-
all stacks. putting them in condition
o keep indefinitely and begin plowing
for new crop while the ground is
moist? Then threshing and marketing
can be done later and perhaps at an adj
vantage This is only a suggestion, but
is worth considering. A difference OF
time of two months in marketing a
large crop might easily mean gain OF
$1,000. Better save part of 1t any way

GARDEN CALENDAR.

Thi1 out all root crops mercilessly
Bets, turnips, carrots, parsnips, salsi
f., onions, etc. must have plenty of
room in which to grow.
If Western Kansas ever had summer
when late crops could be grown, this
summer should be it. With good
supply of moisture in the ground at
present there is no reason why garden
stuff planted now should not develop.
especially where little irrigation is
possible
The hot weather of July usually dis
Courages exertion, yet there is nothing
more refreshing than five OF six o'clock
garden work.
Try some late cabbages- Plant the
seed thinly in rows. They need not be
transplanted bat will need thinning.

That aluminium composes about
eight per cent of the earth's crust?
1t is found especially in common clay
Aluminium itself is very soft and can
be cut with knife, like lead.
1t is mixed with magnesium, another
light metal, lighter than aluminium, in
fact, in order to make it hard enough to
USE.
Today aluminium is used for an i'm
mense variety of purposes whereas thir-
ty years ago it was curiosity.
There are several metals lighter than
aluminium.
Beryllium is one of tt ese. It is used
along with other rare metals in making
gas mantels-
Lithium is metal which is only
three ffths as heavy as water whereas
aluminium is more than two and half
times as heavy as water.
No practical use has been found for
lithium
Every cubic yard of clay contains
something like 30 lbs. of alu ninum
In fact, aluminium is the most abund-
ant of all metals.
However, cheap way of removing
aluminium from clay has not yet been
discovered. 1t IS taken from bauxite, q
pure oxide of aluminium.

As to BREATHING

To breathe wrongly is to impover-
tsh the blood, and through it to reduce
the whole body to a state of suscepti-
bflity, which opens a way for all kinds
OF disease Comparatively few per
sons take in as much air as they
ought; hence parts Of the lungs are
apt to become weakened through dis
use. The first care should be to
breathe the best air possible; the next
to obtain the proper amount in the
right way.
