A World of Grunters

The world today is an aggre- gation of grunters.
 From youth to old age life is just one big grunt after ano- ther.
 In infacy we grunt from the collie, and as we grow into ma turity the grunts increase.
 If luck comes our way we grunt because there is not more luck to double our holdings, while if it passes us, we grunt at the injustice of fate.
 If our family is in the swim of society we grunt when we pay the bills, and if they are not there, we grunt because they are discriminated against.
 If we hold public office we grunt when our constituents in- sist upon our living up to our pledges, while if we are defeat ed at the polls we grunt be- cause "the fools elected that crook ;
 If the city dads vote funds for local improvements we

grunt because it was not in ac- cordance with our desires, while if they heed our advice we grunt because they were too stingy.
 We grunt at our school teachers because they insist upon obedience to the rules of the school in their effort to in- still a little knowledge into the heads of our offspring, while if they fail we grunt because they have not developed an edu- cational wonder from brain that is below par.
 We grunt at the preacher when he speaks out the truth, and we grunt at him if he don't
 We grunt at the merchant, the doctor, and our beasts of burden, and even the dog and cat get grunt and a kick.
 Yes, this world is one great aggregation of grunters and a few are even in our own midst.
 We often wonder if there will be any grunters in Para disc.

Advice on Growing Wheat

profitable basis.
 }. How to prepare the seed bed?
 Flow the land we'll by Oct. 1. Just before seeding it, double disc it and harrow well. This will leave the seed bed thor oughly pulverized.
 6. How to SOW wheat?
 If possible use a drill. By us- ing a drill it will require less seed and leaves the surface ridged, thus protecting the wheat, and as rule drilled wheat will yield 20 per cent 1 better than sown broadcast. l Unless very dry SOW about an inch deep, if dry SOW deeper. If you use drill, on real lean land sow four pecks or more to the acre. If the land is med ium good land, SOW five pecks and on good rich land SOW six pecks to the acre, and if soWn broadcast use at least one peck more. Sow wheat from October 10th to November 10th. Early IsoWn wheat will give you a better stand, and furnish better pasturage, but runs the risk of the Hessian Ely.
 '. What kind of wheat to SOW?
 We recommend the Fulcas- l tre bearded, the Fultzo- Medi- terraHean smooth head, the Fultz smooth head or the early May smooth head wheat; all these varieties mature early. and thus escape the hot wealth CT We rather prefer the Full caster as WE believe it will yield little better than other varieties. Candidly, we think No. 60 test, plump grain Ark ansas raised, cleaned wheat, acclimated, that yielded well this year is equal to the North ern seed. Of course, it may be a mixture of part smooth head and bearded, but if it yielded we'll and Is nice plump wheat it has the advantage of being aeclimated. Do not att tempt to sow Turkey or hard wheat in Arkansas; it is not suitable for this far South. If you buy seed wheat raised out side of Arkansas, buy seed wheat that was raised as near Arkansas line as possible.
 8. How to treat wheat be- fore sowing to prevent smut?
 Use a solution of one pound of formaldehyde to forty gal Ions of water, or less propor- tionally;; this prevents smut which is prevalent on lowlands. Plant your wheat immediately after treating.
 We are in position to fur nish choice selected seed wheat and red winter oats.
