Small Quantity of Seed

Mr. Jolly seeds only % to 80
pounds of wheat to the acre, an
amount considerably under the aver
age. but his actual results Justify his
claim that that is enough in his
region at least. He places the cost
of preparing the soil under his meth
cd OF planting the seed at about
$4.25 per acre, aside from the cost
OF the seed and says that he puts
40-bushel wheat in the warehouse al
$3.50 per acre.

No more startling news has come from the

Russian forces and that the car would take

movement II has been admitted all along that
the Russian army is short on all the needful
accessories to carry on campaign, having
plenty OF men only. Stories OF empty cases sent
TO the front TO supply men who needed ammu-
milton, of soldiers in the ranks waiting for a
comrade TO fall in order to secure a rifle and
similar incidents, have been frequent as illus
trating the plight of the Russian army. That

such poorly equipped forces over hundreds OF
miles OF retreat, pursued and harassed by the
greatest army ever organized. differed and

would seem feat worthy of the highest COM
