The end of the first week found the
Boston clubs leading in each league.
Neither has yet lost a game but the
Braves have played only two games
and the Red Sox only three. Perhaps
the greatest surprise of the short
opening week was the strength dis

The Braves appear to be even a bit
stronger than they were last year.
Brooklyn. with the 1915 team virtually
intact. was unable to do much oppor-

Cincinnati captured the first series

FoRKED-HEAD WHEAT.

>AAS0t5o r.
The slender angular head of the

grown CROPS doomed, if Professor
William F. Freedman graduate of
Cornell university. is successful in ex-
pertments In wheat production which
he Is conducting in the agricultural
laboratories at Riverbank. the Fox
River estate Of Colonel George Fab
yam.
Professor Freedman has at his dis
posal wheat specimens gathered from
all quarters Of the globe. Among
these IS the "beardless'' and fork
head product of Russia. His expert
ments aim primarily to reproduce an
acclimated American wheat that pos
sesses the ''beardless' and "forked-
mead. or tripod like properties Of the
Russian stalk.
The head of the Russian grown
stalk is much shorter than that OF the
American farm. Professor Freedman
hopes to produce a. "forked- head"
wheat that has the lengthy propor-
tions Of the single headed wheat now
grown in this country.
This accomplishment would in
crease the production of the present
average wheat crops of the nation
from two to five times. depending on
the number Of forks" to the wheat

Professor Freedman's experimental
greenhouses contain new specimens Of
wheat that he is producing.
Another angle Of his work is to pro-
duce an Irish potato plant with seeds.
The potato crop of the country is
grown each year from halved and
quartered potatoes which are repia Mt
ed
This. IN the opinion Of Professor
freedman. is an unnecessary drain on
the potato food supply. and he be-
lieves the thousands Of bushels used
annually for crop reproduction can
be saved II he succeeds in producing a

RAILROAD GRADING
STARTED THIS WEEK

Chief Engineer Mowery, of the local
engineer corps of the Northern Pacific,
was in Roman Monday and while here
gave out the information that one of
the contractors was at work near Pol
son with his grading outfit. A steam
shovel is on the way across the lake
and extensive construction is expected
soon.
Mr.. Mowery says that some material
has been unloaded at Dixon and that
other sub-contractors are expected to
commence work in the near future.
There will be considerable heavy work
at both the Dixon and Poison ends of
the proposed line and this work could
be prosecuted during the winter
months just as well as at any other
period and from present indications
there will be much grading done yet
this year.

A Passing Tribute

Mr.. VIM. H. Reichard was born Oct.
%, 1858, and died Sept. IL, 1916, at
a. M, aged 81 years, l month and 20
days. Mr.. Reichard was born in Knox
Vile, Iowa, his residence being there
until 1910 when he took up homestead
in township 20-21. living there until he
was called away. He is survived by
his wife and one son, Clarence, three
sisters, one of whom is Mrs. w. w.
Meranda of Horte, and one brother of
Knoxville, Iowa, and host of friends
in both Iowa and Montana. In child
hood he was baptised in the Methodist
Episcopal church. He was loyal and
faithful husband, father, neighbor and
friend.
The community was shocked by the
sudden death on Tuesday morning,
September IL, of William H. Reichard.
Were it not sinful, as we'll as futil, we
might we'll question the wisdom of
providence that takes such men from a
home and from the community. We do
not know why one is left and another is
taken. We do not understand why the
strong man is stricken in the fullness
of life and the weak one is spared for
many days. If it be that we shall thus
learn the lesson of human helplessness
and the brittleness of that thread called
human life, we may understand, but we
are not consoled. He was respected
and honored by business associates and
acquaintance. In his home he was
greatly blessed as husband and father.
But in the twinkle of an eye this is all
changed. The places in which he has
moved shall know him no more; the
warm handclasp, the winning smile,
the cherry greeting gone, and forever.
But those who loved him, those who
knew and honored him, those who
watched the space in the sky from
whence< a star has fallen, will always
carry a sustaining remembrance of him
as he was, and in the mystic silences
will often feel the touch Of a vanished
hand and hear again the sound Of voice
that is still. MOYCE CLUB.

BARR TELLS BEET GROWERS
HOW TO TREAT THEIR LAND
(By r. M. Barr.)

Fall plowing for sugar beets is very
important and maximum results depend
entirely upon it. 1t means from one
to three tons of beets per acre increase
over spring blowing and an extra effort
should be made by the grower to have
all his beet land plowed before winter
sets in.
The farmer who has so much work
on hand that he can not do this plow-
ing can afford to pay So or 81 per acre
to have it done, as it will be returned
to him over 100 per cent from his beet
crop.
erain stubble lands should be thor
oughly disced as soon as the grain is
removed 80 that the stubble will be cut
up and mixed with the surface soil be-
fore blowing. By this method good
compact seed bed can be easily made
