WHEN WE TELL YOU that today orders
for immediate shipment greatly in excess of

the condition is remarkable.

course and anticipating the usual dull

for 800 cars Of this model in January and
$50 IN February.
ALAS FOR WELL LAID PLANSi In
January were shipped 1900 instead of 800:
md IN February, instead Of $50, dealers
took 1900 REQ the Fifths-and begged for
more.
MIND YOU, THAT was middle of winter
War Yearl Just when everybody was trying
to convince everybody else that we were
enjoying hard times the REQ plants were
running double shift in an effort to keep
up with the demand for immediate ship

CAN YOU IMAGINE any stronger testi-
nony to the splendid qualities of car than
that unusual demand at that unusual
season.
'HOW COULD THE FACTORY SHIP that
many cars in those months if their plans
called for the lesser number?' you ask. The
answer 10 the whole point to this ad.
KNOWING FROM PAST EXPERIENCE
that the demand for Reos is always greater
than the supply-for there never has been
q time since the first REQ was made that
REQ could supply enough cars for all who
wanted Reos-knowing that this demand

to accumulate against the big spring rush.

the plans were frustrated by dealers
demands for immediate shipments. These
took the full capacity of the plants for
those months-and today there is not REQ
the Fifth in that big warehpusel
50 THIS IS TO WARN YOU against delay
in ordering your REQ. Only by ordering at
once can you hope to get it when you'll
want it.
YOU KNOW AS WELL AS Wifi you have

Thousands Of would-be REQ owners have
been disappointed. Not merely delay in

getting car. Factory output all allotted to
dealers-dealers' quota all contracted for by

IT Is A REMARKABLE FACT that in

EASY TO ERADICATE
SMUT FROM WHEAT
Good Plan to Get Neighbors to
Also Treat Their Seed
Spores Fly With Wind.

In many localities the loss from
stinking smut or loose smut in wheat
is as much as 25 per cent or 80 per
cent. 1t is easy to eradicate smut, but
unless you can get adjoining neighbors
to treat their seed for smut, the spores
will fly over the fence from the un-
treated grain, reinfecting the treated
grain.
To one pint of full-strength formal
dehyde (you can get it at any drug
store) add 35 or 40 gallons of water.
Spread out the seed on a floor or can
vas, and sprinkle with formaldehyde
solution until thoroughly moist, but
not wet enough to pack in the hand.
Shovel or rake over repeatedly to dis
tribute the moisture evenly. Shovel
into pile and cover with sacks or
canvas for at least two hours, the
canvas having been soaked in the So
luton to kill any spores which might
have remained. Take off the blankets
and rake until the grain is dry, which
will only take few minutes.
Be sure that your formaldehyde is
of full strength because there is much
of it that is very weak.

row on the top of the shoulders and
wide between the forelegs. This shape
gives room for large amount of feed
and for a big heart, denoting strong

The man who has so little self-re-

work around cows that stand in a
filthy stable lacks considerably of

INTERESTING FACTS
ABOUT FLAX PLANT
More of This Valuable Crop Can
and Should Be Produced
Humus Is Necessary.

Flax is not hard on the land" when
compared with other crops.
Flax should not be grown on the
same field oftener than once in five or
seven years.
Flax wilt germs are carried by the
seed, and live from year to year in the
soil. The formaldehyde treatment
will djsinfect the seed.
Flax can be successfully grown on
old lands when properly handled. Do
not SOW fax on fiax-sick soil
Early planting is safest in the long
run.
A firm seeded is a necessary.
Harvest the crop when it is ripe.
Thresh or stack as soon as possible
when fax gets dry.
Flax in rotation should follow the
hay or pasture crops. A large amount
OF humus is necessary in the soil.

Suppose you feed your hens on a

the hens getting light, diarrhea
would set in, then indigestion and
rheumatism; the egg crop would short

cult task to get that flock back to
health than when fed the fat-forming
ration. These are the extremes in
feeding. Both rations are needed. but

PACKING ENSILAGE
IMPROVES QUALITY
Tramping Excludes Air and Pre-

Packing the ensilage well improves
it. 1t is the air in the ensilage that
spoils it, and the more air in it the
more acetic acid is formed. This is
the acid that makes it sour. The less
air the less of the acetic acid and the
more Tactic acid, which is the most
desirable. The tramping in compact

SELECT SEED CORN
ONLY OUT IN FIELD
OF Much Importance to Know If
Ears Matured Early and
Thereby Avoided Frosts.

CBy ]. C. HACKLEMAN, Missouri Col
lege OF Agricultural
Always select seed corn in the field
before frosts and freezes injure it
Scoep-shovel selection. or even more
careful crib picking next spring, will
be especially fatal If frost injuries The
corn this fall.
When the harvest is on and you be-
gin to gather the crop, you can not
tell which ears matured early, and
would be likely to produce an early
crop that will avoid frost next year.
You are too busy to study seed ears.
anyhow, when trying to put as many
bushels as possible into the crib each
day.
Only in the field is it possible to
know whether an ear is large because
it was produced on the only stalk in
the hill and so had more than its
share of sunshine and plantfood. Care

shown that the ears which are good

soil and in a somewhat crowded stand

Only in the field can you tell wheth.
er the ear was too high or too low
on the stalk, and whether it stood so
erect that the fall rains would enter
the husks and spoil the ear. Ears
that stand almost erect will be mate
rally injured in case of a prolonged
rainy fall even though no frosts or
freezes should come before the corn
is harvested. If the corn should be
frozen before harvesting, and when it
is still wet from cold rain. it is not
unreasonable to think some of it would
be killed. Ears that have longer
shank and point down are much bet
ter.
Ear height is important not only be-
cause the lower ears are more conven
lent to harvest, but also because pro-
longed experiments have proved that
low ears are generally earlier in ma.
turing than the high ears. Therefore,
select the ears that appear on the
stalk from three to four feet high
and unconsciously, but surely, the ear

ADMIRAL OF THE AIR

The rapid expansion of the Brit

made necessary its reorganization
and 1t now is under the direction of a
flag officer. For the important post
of director of air service" Rear Ad-

was selected. and the British public
has had to learn about another nota-
bility of whom it knew little or moth
ing before the great conflict began.
In navy circles, however, Rear
Admiral Vaughan-Lee has been well
known as an officer OF scientific at
tainments. Born in 1867, he served
as MILDLY in the Egyptian war of
1882. Like Garden and many other
sailors of his generation. he first
learned the necessity of putting cot
ton wool into his ears at the bonn
bardment of Alexandria. After be-
coming a lieutenant he devoted him

OLLIE JAMES START

lieutenant governor declared he had

appointed all the pages.
But" said he. Il find, in looking
them over, that they are a lot of spin

carry themselves. There ought to be
one page strong enough to lift heavy

When the lieutenant governor had

he gasped.
