it was impossible to send money
from the United States through the
usual channels, such as banks, the
German military authorities would
themselves look after the payment

POST FROM WARSAW TO
AMERICA NOW OPEN.
German Authorities Grant Import
ant Privileges.

DcIllll. Nl al III |eAA' 49,
A privilege which is OF vital I'M
portance and which will help to anne
liorate the lot Of the Jews OF the
Governmental District of Warsaw,
has lust been granted, thanks to the
efforts of the Hebrew Shelterlng and
Immigrant Aid Society OF America
The Warsaw Governmental DIS
trict includes the old Russia Guber-
MAS of Lomzo, Flock, Kalisch, War
saw, part Of Siedlice, and part OF
Piotrokow This order has been
posted on the walls throughout the
entire governmental district. 1t
will now be possible for residents OF
these districts to communicate with
relatives and friends in America
through the Society.
With the severance Of postal COM
munication between the outside
world and the district of Poland, 1t
was possible for these people to
communicate only in very limited
and slow way with their relatives
through the Consulates and Embas-
sizes.
Isidore Hershheld was sent by the
Immigrant Aid Society to Poland
to remedy this condition. He has
been investigating conditions, and
has been in constant negotiation
with the military authorities tor sew
eral weeks. He. reported the re-
suits of his Investigations to the
military Government of Warsaw
and the latter has just issued an or
der permitting the residents OF the
district to write directly to the He
brew Sheltering and Immigrant AID
Society.
Letters may contain only the adj
dresses, the signature and the fol-
lowing text:
1--WE are all we'll, but in immediate
need of money and aid. Please help
us. We send hearty greetings
The notice of the death OF any
member of family may also be IN
corporated in the text, but nothing
else. The Society will send these
letters to their destination and Will
pay for the postage.
Mr.. Hershheld will return to Ber-
lin shortly to continue his negot'a-
tons for the remainder of Poland
under German rule and that portion
under Austrian jurisdiction, and ne
hopes to obtain similar concessions
for these places. He was treated
with uniform courtesy by the high
er German military officials and was
effectively aided by the American

be grown on corn and tobacco stub
BILE, thus doing away with summer
ifallowing. More grass lands should
be maintained, and more permanent
pastures and gradually more live
stock as conditions warrant. The
use of lime, phosphates, legumes and
manure are the agencies through
which better wheat crops may be pro-
duced. 1t is to be hoped that the
government may succeed in perfect
ing the propagation of the Ichnuman
Fly to such an extent that it's ravages
on the Hessian Fly will result in
practically eliminating the latter. The
wheat fly is certainly a big factor in
the low yields of wheat in Kentucky.
The following rotations are sug-
gested as an improvement over pres
ent methods: Corn the first year with
Crimson Glover sown in corn turned
under the following spring by soy
beans; wheat sown in soy bean
ground, and clover sown in wheat the
following spring. This plan would
give three legumes in four years, and
supply the necessary nitrogen to
grow profitable crops of corn, wheat
and tobacco. 1t is claimed by some
that wheat does not do well after soy
beans, and this plan is suggested with
a view to getting the land in shape
for three year rotation as follows:
Corn the first year followed by wheat
the second year and clover the 3rd
year. If the four year rotation is
used the soy bean could be hogged
down and some of it cut for hay or a
seed crop. For several years to come
the seed crop should be very prof.
table one, as soy beans will make
from ten to twenty bushels per acre,
and sell from 3d. % to 81. so per BUSH
ell most of the time.
Another plan would be to plant soy
beans, the first year, corn the second
year, followed by wheat and clover.
In case the soy beans could be har-
vested in time, crimson clover could
be sown afterwards TO be turned I'M
der for corn the following spring,
thus getting three legumeS in four
year rotation.
If the farmers of Christian county
adopt the four year rotation, the
yield Of corn, wheat and tobacco will
be greatly increased. There should
be more permanent pasture land used

Hopkinsville, Ky.
Dear Mr.. EckleS:

am in receipt of your favor of the
22nd inst, in which you state you
read an article in the local papers
from which the impression has been
left upon the minds of number of
farmers that | suggested discontin-
ance for period of the raising of
wheat in this county.
In answer to your inquiry, | will
say that the main reason for writing
the article in question was to call the
attention of the good farmers and
others in Christian county to the
wheat problem, to something they al
ready know, and not to decry wheat
as staple crop; but TO suggest a
method by which more wheat than
ever may be raised in this county.
A man may know a thing, but it is
necessary for him to really get his
mind on it, and think it over carefully
and seriously before he can evolve a
better method to desired end.
In the first place | consider that
wheat should be one of the staple
crops Of Christian county, provided,
Of course, it can be made profitable,
which it can.
You say in your letter that on ac-
count of the poor yield for the last
four years wheat has lost the farmers
of Christian county something more
than a million dollars. Now, at this
rate, it certainly looks like Loves
labor lost" to me, but believe that
with better methods, wheat can be
made a profitable crop here. In the
first place, there has been too much
grain farming, and too little live stock
farming in Christian county. Too
much land turned up to the sun in
the hot months of July and August,
and too much wheat after wheat
which has resulted in loss of humuS
and also resulted in the Hessian fly.
In previous article | suggested
that where wheat could not be grown
with profit it would be better to SOW
the corn and tobacco land in Crimson
Clover with Rock Phosphate or ma
nure, or manure and rock phosphate
turned under the following spring for
corn and tobacco. In this way, the
land can be improved and profitable
crops grown. In a few years, by
this method good crops Of wheat can

RAISING WHEAT
in CHRISTIAN
County Agent, at Bankers
Suggestion, Elaborates on
His Advice to Farmers.

The recent articles written by
County Agent Casey and published in
the Kentuckian have not only attract
ed attention and caused much discus
sion throughout Christian county, but
throughout the neighboring counties
and even through the state. Another
chapter is added in the following cor
respondence between A. H. Eckles,
&ashier of the Planters Bank G Trust
company, and County Agent Casey
relative to this important matter. Mr..
Eckles wrote to Mr.. Casey and the
latter replied at length enlarging on
his first article. The letters are as
follows:
Hopkinsville, Ky, July %, 1916.
Mr.. A. M. Casey,
County Agriculturalist,
City,
Dear Mr.. Casey:
Several days ago we read an article
in the local papers from which the
impression has been left upon the
minds of a number of farmers that
you suggested a discontinuance for a
period of raising wheat in this county.
We think that careful reading Of
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1916-08-05
n conjunction with this method.

in conjunction with this method.
From the Census reports the pro-
duction of wheat has steadily in
creased in Christian county from
103, 1888 bushels in the year 1910 to
732, 500 bushels in 1910; corn from
!, 022,850 bushels in 1910 to 1870
784 busheles in 1910; hay from 457
tons in 1910 to 30,307 tons in 1910.
While the production of live stock
has steadily decreased. There were
Is, 1876 sheep in Christian county in
1910 and only 1852 head in 1910; and
of swine 81, 562 head in 1910 and 30,
O87 in 1910. There were Is, 053 head
OF cattle in 1910 and 1886 head in
1910. If more live stock were han
died on the farms and the by product
returned to the soil more wheat on
the same acreage will be the result if
proper methods are used.
Trusting have made clear my
idea of a method to increase the yield
of wheat and tobacco on the lands OF
western Kentucky, am
Sincerely yours,
A. M. CASEY,
County Agent.

the article will establish the fact that
it was more of a suggestion that other
plans and methods be adopted and
that you did not really intend to leave
the impression that you advised the
people Of Christian county to cease
the production of wheat, one of our
principal crops.
No doubt you have clearly in mind
a better plan of rotation of crops and
the proper method of bringing back
the necessary fertility of the soil Of
this county for small grain crops, and
therefore we will thank you to write
us fully your recommendations rela-
tive to correcting, if possible, the low
average per acre of wheat production
in this county for the last three or
four years.
On account of the low acreage of
the production of wheat in this county
for the past four years 1t has cost the
farmers something more than a mil
lion dollars and so it behooves us to
look into this problem at once, and
put intelligent and effective efforts
back of it, thereby saving many thou
sands of dollars to the farmers and
other people dependent upon their
successes.
Thanking you in advance for your
information in this matter, that we
may help you disseminate your views,
we beg to remain,

CAR GOES INTO DITCH NEAR
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS THREE
(Platteville NeWs.)

T. Prytherick met with an anto ac-
cident Saturday when returning from
Dubuque when returning from Du-
buque In the car was his wife, two
children and the Misses Hilda and
Gertrude Suhr.
When Mr.. Prytherick tried to turn
out for a ditch the machine went into
it and turned over, fastening the oc-
cupants with the exception Of himself
under the car. 1t was necessary to
get team to remove the car. Mr.. Pry-
therick's ear was torn badly so that
it was necessary to take several stitch
es in it.
Miss Gertrude Suhr received a cut in
her head and Miss Hilda Suhr had
two bones in her foot broken. The
others escaped injury. The injured
were taken to Dubuque where they re-
ceived medical treatment.
Ernest Suhr while working at the
brewery Wednesday had the misfor-
tune to have a heavy keg of beer fall
upon his right hand cutting big cash
in it, so that it was necessary to have
eight stitches taken in it.

ABOUT FARM STATIONERY.
(Prairie du Chen Courier.)

CPrairie du Chen Courier.)
Farmers and townspeople all over
the country are rapidly adopting the
new policy of using writing paper and
envelopes with their names and ed
dresses printed neatly thereon.
1t has many advantages. 1t pre-
vents the numerous errors in the spell
ing of names, insures correctness of
addresses and guarantees the prompt
return Of you letter in the event of
non delivery.
1t is no more expensive than buying
stationery in small lots in the old way,
and adds positive air of respectable
ity and refinement to every home. It
is a good thing and seems to have
come to stay-and grow.
