 Such a growth of wheat was never known before. Both it's value and it's volume surpass all past records. The same is true of oats, barley, rye, hay and rice.

 Th9 Memphis bureau. tn arefore, is going to look after the needs of the rural population in the rich sur- rounding territory. It believes thas an advance in agricultural methods will lead to more prosperity for Mem- phis.
 The idea is fundamentally sound. Tho the agricultural possibilities sur rounding some towns and cities have been developed to their maxi n|um or nearly so, all municipalities are not sc fortunate It is probable that scores nt other towns will find 1t worth while to follow Memphis e1- ample.

ALL FARMERS OUGHT

Not Necessary Nor Desirable to

1t ought to be within the reach of
all farmers to produce hogs, whether

hogs or any of the other improved
breeds, and by selection and attention
in subsequent breeding and regard
for the plain principles with which
every farmer should make himself ac-
quainted to improve and maintain the
STANDARD of swine upon the farm.
1t is neither necessary nor desirable

II the production of pork is the sole

ModernIzIna the Roundup.

Each year seems to give the auto
mobile new hold on life. The war
brought it to the forefront in a new
field. The soldier of the present day
seldom makes long forced marches
like Sherman's march to the sea. He
travels by motor car As a result. the
automobile casualty list is tremen-
dous; the average life of car in the
battle lines is estimated at thirty days.
But 1t is not only the war zone that
has lost part of its picturesqueness
through the use of the automobile,
the latter has begun to rob the an
nual cattle roundup of some of its
thrills by replacing the horse. This
year has seen the ubiquitous car with
a cowboy at its wheel on our western
prairies discouraging the cattle from
attempts to escape from the ever-nar-
rowing circle in the roundup. Many a
steer which has given COW horse a
run must feel disconnected when it
bucks up against the four-wheeled
steed-Wall Street journal.

The good man had just been in

possibly possess the information that
he hadn't an ounce of sense, that he
had never had an ounce of sense, and
that there was not the remotest
chance that he ever would have an
ounce of sense.
Having been assured on these
points, the good man turned to his
paper, only to be interrupted by his
young son and heir:
Father" asked the boy, what is
vacuum and where can l find one?"
my boy replied the good man. ''if
we are to assume that your mother is
qualified to speak on the subject, /
possess the only real vacuum in the
neighborhood and. for your further in
formation. it is situated just between

WAITED LONG FOR PROBATE
After Twenty Years Son Produces Fa-
ther's WiiI-Testator's Instructions
Had Been Obeyed.

Undiscovered for nearly twenty
years after his death. the will of Jo-
hanE Michael Muller has been offered
for probate at Baltimore by his son.
John G. A. Muller. The testator died
March 13, 1896. having made his will
on May 81, 1889.
The paper. yellow and musty with
age, left all Mr.. Muller's property to
his wife. Elizabeth Barbara Muller.
She died April 30. 1915, and her son
was appointed administrator of her
estate. He had known of the exist
ence OF the will for several months
prior to his mothers death, but since
all the property had been enjoyed by
Mrs. Muller as her husband had de-
sired, it was not thought necessary
to probate the will at that time
The son says the property will now
be divided between his two brothers
and himself, since his mother died in
testate. The exact value of the estate
has not been determined. but it is
made up almost entirely of parcels of
real estate.
