or unfavorable. Good farming returns hand
some dividends every year, and may mean
the difference between success and failure
in poor years.
By the time this article appears in print,
wheat harvest will be we'll over, and the
first step toward preparing for the crop
year hence should be taken soon. Wherever
possible the ground should be disked
promptly after cutting the wheat. Disking
will minimize the loss of moisture through
evaporation, and cause the plant food form
ing agencies to become active. The blow
should follow as soon as may be- as the adj
vantages of early blowing have been thor
oughly demonstrated in Kansas.
A Mcpherson county farmer who recentlv
called at the Office of the Board stated that
In his forty years of wheat-raising in Kan
sas he has found early disking and blowing
by far the best methods for maximum Yields
He asserted, moreover, that where the land
was first disked it could be plowed to a
depth OF six inches-and that is mighty deep
blowing compared to the general practice
as easy or easier than blowing at four inches
without disking. He is an earnest advocate
OF early preparation for wheat and that he
has been markedly successful as wheat
raiser gives weight to his opinion.

out any preparation whatever, and to still
other fields that received but scant atten-
ton.
This is not charged to remissness on the
part of the farmer, for in most instances he
did not have the time to do otherwise. ow-
ing to his heavy responsibility in caring for
his bumper wheat crop and other numerous
duties, but is brought to attention merely
to emphasize that proper preparation pays
through the increased yields that may con
hdently be counted on, whatever the season.
Yields are relatively larger under good
farming whether conditions are favorable

In other words, in the western third n
Kansas the summer fallow should be prac-
ticed at least once in three years, because
by means of the fallow, additional moisture
may be stored deep in the soil and held
there until the wheat can use it to best adj
vantage in maturing crop.
The longer the soil can remain plowed
and cultivated previous to planting the
wheat, the more plant food and water it
Will be able to accumulate and have in re-

every acre that is to be put to wheat could
be piowed, disked or listed, and put into
seed-bed condition before the middle of Au-
gust, there would be little doubt that the
1914 crop might be riva1ed every wear"
There is still another reason this wear for
early disking in many places, and that is to
successfully combat the Hessian fly. Fields
harboring this pest should be disked
promptly after the wheat is cut Entomol-
oglsts inform us that disking will not only
start the growth of volunteer wheat and in
duce to some extent the early emerpence Of
the fly, but will destroy many of the Aies

I Asst year will long remain notable in
Kansas history because of its tremend-
GUS wheat crop. We have a right to
feel proud of that achievement. 1t is con-
yyinc:iing tribute to the friendly climate and
fertile soil.
While there is no question as to the adap-
liability of Kansas for the production of
wheat of the highest quality, the record
smashing crop of year ago was the result
OF unusual circumstances. First, the acre
age. was exceptionally large; second, the
seed-bed was unusually well prepared, and,
third, weather conditions were well-nigh

no control, the two things that are power
fully important that devolve on him are the
preparation of the seed-bed and the sowing
of good seed.
One OF the causes of exceptionally good
yields of wheat in 1914 was that the seed
was sown on ground where the corn failed
put which had been given cultivation. This
land had been virtually summer fallowed
and was provided with an abundance of
available plant food, as little had been used
by the corn that succumbed to the dry
weather. The uniformly large acre-yields
produced under such conditions furnishes a
most striking illustration of the point it is
sought to emphasize-the value of thorough
preparation of the seed-bed. Much wheat

the following summer turned out 50 to 60
bushels to the acre, while the average acre
yield tor the state was about 20 bushels.
Contrast that, if you will, with the re-
ports OF the present years prospect three
weeks before harvest. 1t is estimated bv
those who are well capable of Judging that
the average yield per acre this year will
probably be at least five bushels less, Com
ditions perhaps have not been so favorable
in the main, as for the preceding crop, but
the principal cause of the wide difference
is quite generally attrib' ed to the large
area that was seeded in the stubble. with

In recently discussing the same subject,
Dean Jardine, of the States Experiment Sta
ton, said: early, deep blowing, with a
reasonable amount of cultivation, usually
gives the best results when wheat is grown
continuously on the same land, or where it
follows oats or barley. When wheat is to
follow corn, firm, mellow seed-bed can be
prepared by simply thoroughly disking the
corn ground after the corn has been re-
moved, especially if the corn during its
growth has been given thorough tillage and
kept free from weeds. Many farmers plant
wheat after corn, which is a good practice.

perfect from Seed-time to
harvest. This was the COM
bination that made possible
the greatest wheat crop in
the history of any state.
Since this is so, it would
seem the part of wisdom to
make every endeavor to APP
proximate similar conditions
in other years, so far as lies
in the farmer to bring this
about. We will of course
have to trust to Providence
for the favorable weather
conditions, but whether the
other requirements are full
filled depends very largely
upon the men who grow the
crop. 1t is not the intention
of this article to urge a larg-
er sowing of wheat. In fact.
under ordinary circum-
stances, in the opinion of the
writer it would be judicious
to sow not more wheat but
rather more of other depend
able crops, and raise more
i've stock. Leaving out of
consideration the factors

providing the corn can be
gotten out of the way and
the seed-bed put into shape
for timely planting. Where
wheat is grown in rotation
with other crops in which
the soil is given an occa-
sional deep, thorough plow-
ing, shallow blowing for
wheat will usually give as
large yields as deep plow-
ing. Where it is necessary
to pillow just before planting
time, 3 or 4 inches will be
the best practice, otherwise
the seed-bed will be loose
and unsatisfactory.
In the western third of
Kansas, where the rainfall is
5 to 10 inches less than it is
in central and eastern Kan
Sas, 1t is highly important to
prepare the ground even
earlier than in central and
eastern Kansas, in order to
allow the land to lie in
bowed condition and free
rom weeds, that it may
store up moisture previous

seemed as though it had been ripped
with a nail or something sharp,
probably as he fell down here. All
that the police found was that signet

Jaques threw the light round the
sides of the well. Just above him
were some jagged rocks which jutted
out of the wall. Suddenly he gave
a cry.
Look! What's that there? See,
up therep
On one of the sharp flints was
torn bit of cloth. He reached up for
it and found beside the cloth tiny
square of paper. 1t was folded many
times.
That's a bit of his waistcoat.
There is no doubt that when he was
thrown down his body struck against
that Jagged rock and his vest was
ripped. This shred remained hang

it is"

"How could the water do that?
This was above our heads"
They have evidently been here
since the body was found and drawn
water, and each time some of the
water spilled on the paper and
effaced the ink. See, some of the
color is washed out of this bit of
cloth. Let us get up, we can make
it out clearer under better light"
Jacques had adroitly climbed the
ropes. The night was silent and
calm. He quickly put the pulleys in
motion and pulled up his new friend.
A few minutes later, seated at the
marble table in the cafe. they spread
out the paper and with difficulty
made out the words:
Received from M. Jean Farades,
on deposit, the sum of three hundred
and fifty-seven thousand francs.
This sum comprises the following
securities" Then came a list Of
English and French stocks and
bonds.

sentation of this receipt and without

signature had been completely
effaced by the water. At the top Of
the paper was the mark of rectan-
gular stamp, bul it was impossible
to distinguish what had been marked
by this stamp. This seemed very
strange, for the ink on the govern
ment stamps resists the action Of
