Facts as to SIeep.

A recent investigation into the char
aoteristics OF sleep quoted by PROBES.
sor Jastrow of England reveals strik.
ing division of sleep conditions be-
tween the sexes. At the same time
it shows that people, as a whole.
vary little from the average, and that
most people sleep in about the same
way. People who are troubled sleep
ers really get as much sleep, but
hey do so more jerkily.
The first quarter of a nights sleep
possesses more rest than all the re-
naming three-quarters put together.
This gives a scientific reason for the
old proverb, AN hours sleep before
midnight is worth two hours after"
Not that midnight has anything to do
with 1t, but shat the worth OF sleep
does lie in the first part of It, and in
early times nearly every one was In
bed couple hours before midnight.

PREPARE SEEDED FOR OATS
Not Generally Necessary to Plow
Land Before Sowing-Disk Har-
row 10 Recommended.

Oats usually follow a cultivated
crop such as corn or potatoes; hence
it is not generally necessary to plow
the land before sowing. Oats do we'll
on fall-plowed land, but If the land
has not been plowed in the fall better
yields are usually produced from
sowing in a seeded made by disk
ing and narrowing than in one made
by spring blowing. Early seeding for
oats is very desirable. AS a good seed
bed can be made much more quickly
with the disk harrow than with the
pillow on land that was in cultivated
crop last year, the saving in time is
an advantage. Two diskings and one
narrowing with the spike-toothed har-
row will put clean land in good shape
for sowing with the drill.
Oats grow best in a seeded that
has or inches of loose surface soil,
but which is firm below that depth.
This is another reason why disking is
to be preferred to spring blowing, for
there is not time for plowed land to
settle before the seed is sown. Still
another reason why the disk is better
is that field can be plowed, and the
cheaper way of doing job should
always be chosen if 1t gives just as
good results as the more expensive
way.

TEST VALUE OF FLAX STRAW
Department of Agriculture Investigat-
ing Feasibility of Using It for
Making Paper.

The United States department OF
agriculture has been Investigating the
feasibility of using fax straw In the
manufacture of paper and fiber board.
1t is estimated that approximately
100000 tons of fax straw are burned
or go to waste each year on American
farms.
Flax is grown chiefly In the Dako.
tas, Minnesota and Montana, in which
states approximately 100000 acres
are devoted to this crop. The actual
seed crop runs about 20,000,000 bush
els, and the crop of straw about 1,6O0.-
900 tons.
If some practical way can be found
for using this straw to advantage, 1t
would add greatly to the value of the
flax crop. The fact that our timber,
from which most of our paper is made,
is being used more rapidly than IT is
growing, makes 1t highly desirable that
some annual crop should be found
which can take the place of wood pulp

MOISTURE NEEDED BY CROPS
Sufficient Quantity at Right Time In.
sures Abundant Yields-Purpose
of the Fallow.

The last year has told us quite plain
ly that with suffi cient moisture at the
right time there Is practically no limit
to the yields of our crops. 1t has
shown us that, at present at least
there is no shortage of soil fertility
and that the determining factor in
crop yields is moisture. What we
would impress here is the fact that the
summer fallow was created for the
purpose of storage and control of soil
moisture although latterly it has been
put to the more apparent use of weed
destruction.
Because large yields were secured
last year from ill-prepared land is no
guaranty that there is any probable
ity that they will be repeated. They
indicate only that large water sup
ply In the soil will give large yields
The way to be sure of large water
supply is to summerfallow and to do IL
right. There is much land not pre-
pared for crop. To seed this will be
taking a gamblers chance. The only
satisfactory and sane method to follow
will be to seed what can be properly
prepared, even though the era is small,
and to summerfallow the remainder

unyielding. To loosen up such soft
and make 1t suitable for garden prod
uce requires that careful attention be
given to it's preparation. After spad.
ing the Enclosure thoroughly, the up
per three inches should be made fine
with the use of hoe and rake Stones
and rubbish should be removed aud
clods OF dirt broken. The surface
should be made even and as level as
possible. 1t may then be marked of
for planting In conformity with the
general plan OF the garden.
Barnyard or stable manure is the
best fertilizer because it furnishes both
plant food and humus An application
at the rate of from 90 to 80 tons to
the acre OF well-rotted manure is very
satisfactory. This rhould be applied
after blowing or wo. ling with a spade,
and distributed evenly over the sur
face and later worked in with q hoe
and rake. On many soils 1t Is ad-
visable to apply commercial fertilizer,
especially phosphate, In addition to
the manure. An application of 800
to 600 pounds of acid phosphate to the
acre Is usually sufficient II addition
al potash is needed, which is often
the case with sandy soils, this may be
economically supplied in the form of
wood ashes. If the wood ashes are
unleached they should be distributed
over the garden, using 1000 pounds to
the acre. II they have been wet, or
leached, 1000 pounds should be used.
An application of 100 pounds to the
acre OF nitrate Of soda may be used In
the spring to start the plants before
the nitrogen in the manure has become
available. 1t should be borne in mind
that commercial fertilizers will not
yield good results unless the soil Is
well supplied with humus. Sod or
other vegetation which has overgrown
garden spot may be used to advan-
tage. 1t should be turned under with
a pillow or spade and will aid in light
ening the soil and providing hurnus.
Small Garden Plan.
In the plan illustrated all the vege
tables named are planted In rows
across from the inside lateral rows
Of strawberries. AS rapidly as each
kind of peas natures and the crop ia
over, kale Is planted in its place. The
ground to be used for tomatoes is first
planted with onion sets, and these
onions are used as rapidly as needed.
When the time comes to set out the
tomatoes, some of the onions are dug
to make space for the tomato plants.
When the tomato crop Is over, the
ground is occupied by spinach as the
third crop. Spinach is also planted as
soon as the bulb onions from the side
are gathered. The beans, carrots, and
peas are succeeded by late cabbage,
and between the rows of late cabbage
"potato-onion" sets are planted. Late
beans are planted between the rows
Of parsnips after the radishes and let
tuce have been gathered.

In millinery for motor wear the
season provides hats. bonnets and
caps, leaving 1t to the wearer to ex-
ercise her judgment when the time
comes for choosing among them.
Judging by numbers, the bonnet, or
cap, has finally triumphed, as the most
sensible headwear for the motorist,
and those who meet her demands have
provided wonderfully attractive and
well-made models of this kind.
Nearly all motor-wear millinery is
made Of fabrics or of fabric com
bined with a millinery braid. The
shapes fit the head by means of elias
tic cords or other devices that hold
them snugly to place, and are de-
signed with visors or brims that pro-
tect the eyes. Wells of thin chiffon,
only moderately long. are important
adjuncts to all sorts of headwear de-
signed for the motorist. The bonnet

is an innovation in modern hairdress-
ing, but it is merely a revival, along
with full skirts, panniers and rufies,
of the fashions of long ago.
Women should experiment with at.
tractive and practical arrangements of
the hair. The couture, more than any
thing else, can add or subtract years
In the appearance. Occasionally one
sees a happy mortal to whom nature
has been unusually kind. Her hair
waves naturally, grows in the best pos
sible lines about the face and neck,
and presents adorable little ringlets
Just where they look prettiest. She
need take little thought of couture
styles, for nature has made her indie
pendent of them. But the majority of
women give themselves less concern
than they should In this matter. The
charm that lies in well-dressed hair is
within reach of all of them. 1t is
matter for study. and in considering
1t one must consider also the style of
clothes with which the couture is to
be worn

shown in the picture, with veil Of
green chiffon, is good example Of
the new models. The veil is weight
ed at the ends with knot and silk
tassel.
Designers are also presenting hats
for motor wear that are cleverly made
to do duty as street hats as WELL They
are soft and close-fitting and made Of
the same materials as the bonnets.
But in combinations of braids with
fabrics there is more braid and less
fabric than in the regulation motor
bonnet. They are more trimmed and
their wells are entirely separate. The
tourist who does not wish to be bur-
dened with an extra hat on q short
journey finds this style convenient.
Compared to other classes Of head
wear the motor hat is most modest in
price. No one should be Indifferent,
in selecting it, to the variety of
shapes and colors that promise some.
thing becoming for every face.

rests OF sudan grass by the Missouri
agricultural experiment E alton during
the last two years indicate that this
new crop will be of value to Missouri
farmers, especially in the southern
part of the state. Seed may be Sc
cured from any reliable scotsman, but
1t is well to take the precaution of
buying northern-grown seed so as to
avoid the possibility OF introducing
Johnson grass.
Sudan grass is tall, rank growing,
annual grass closely related to the
cultivated sorghums and resembling
Johnson grans. 1t differs from John
son grass, however, in not possessing
the heavy root stalks or underground
stems which make Johnson grass so
difficult to eradicate in those regions
which are well suited for rs produc-
ton. The plants average from three
to five feet In height when drilled or
broadcasted and have stems a little
larger than lead pencil If grown
height of from six to inc feet on
good soil with corresponding in.
crease in the size of the stems. When
planted thinly it stools very freely,
sometimes producing as many as 100
stems from one crown.
Like the other sorghums, sudan
grass does best in a warm climate. 1t
should not be planted until all danger
of frost is past and the ground thor
oughly warmed. 1t is decidedly drought
resistant, which makes it we'll suited
for the semiarid regions of the South
west. IT is also being grown with
success IA the mere humid regions,
lut Ii has not attracted as much at
tention there as in the drier Sc :tions
where there are not so many other
good hay plants. Two cuttings are
usually made. and under very favor
able conditions sometimes three or
four. 1t has rather wide adaptations
as regards soil, growing successfully
on almost every SOIL from heavy
clay to a light sand. 1t does best,
however on a rich. well-drained loan.
Two methods of seeding are prac-
ticed. broadcasting or drilling solid.
or drilling in rows to be cultivated.
n ordinary grain drill may be used
and the seed covered from one-half to
one inch deep. Where drilled in rows
a sufficient number of the holes are
stopped up to put the rows the proper
distant apart. Where an ordinary
corn cultivator is to be used, the rows
should be from SO to AZ inches apart.
Where seeded broadcast from 20 to -
pounds of seed t. the acre are re-
CURED, while seeding with drill re-
quires about five pounds less. II
seeded in rows four 10 five pounds is
sufficient.
1t is customary to cut it for hay Just
after full bloom and to cure In light
windows and small cocks. 1t may also
be harvested with binder and cured
In shocks. Where grown for seed II
Is usually harvested with a grain
binder when the first heads are fully

Nearly all the new coiffures are
high, with the hair waved and brought
to the top of the crown and sometimes
to the top of the head. In all of them
the forehead and ears are at least par
TALLY covered, and fashion favors the
appearance Of abundance of hair care
fully dressed. Large puffs help out in
achieving the high hair dress, and
short curls add the touch that is in
keeping with the present modes in
dresses and neckwear.
But in spite of the pre-eminence of
the high couture, young women, and
some older ones, refuse to abandon
the more youthful style of the low hair
dress. They are wise who refuse to
sacrifice a single charm on the altar
of fashion when 1t comes to choosing
the manner of doing the hair. A small
shapely head, with all its pretty
curves, is something to be proud of,
and why should a stately couture
crown the saucy or demure head of
youth?
Whatever choice is made, the hair is
to be waved and the couture must be-
speak care in its dressing and neat
ness In finish. One of the most attrac-
tive of new styles Is shown in the pic
ture. The hair is waved in very large
waves for this couture and parted in
long part at one side. 1t sweeps
across the forehead from the part and
over the ears, and is coiled In loose
coil pinned close to the head above the
nape of the neck. Three short, full
curls are pinned In at each side. This

DAIRYING ON A LARGE SCALE
Number Of Unpleasant Surprises Are
In Store at Start-Start With
Few Cows and Grow Up.

The man who starts dairying on
large scale by buying the whole dairy
herd is in for a number of unpleasant
surprises. The best way to get into
the dairy business is to grow into 1t,
starting with few cows and selecting
and culling as experience dictates. 1t
is slow way to be sure, but it is a
safe one. Only those who have been
through the mill know how hard it is
to set out and buy good mich cows.
The endeavor of every dairyman is to
sell off his poorest animals and keep
the best
