to accept the opportunity with far

'Tn the third place, | think it is ev-
ident that the United States will un-
derstand herself better than she ever
did before. The war and all its at
tendant circumstances have cried her
wide awake to both the dangers of
her life and its enormous possibili-
ties and advantages. There have been
many things to disturb these two
years of long drawn-out tragedy. We
had not realized before that there
were certain elements in our citizen
ship which had not in their heart of
hearts devoted themselves in full 10y
atty and allegiance to the country OF
their adoption.
"A new problem of disunion, more
subtle, more difficult to meet with di-
rect checkmate and correction than the
old problem which eliminated in the
Civil war, has engaged and disturbed
our thought, and we have realized that
we must devote new energy and
ardor to binding together the forces
which will produce new union, un-
ion of spirits triumphant over every
alien force and sympathy.

PLow sTUBBLE NOW

The dry weather of the past few
weeks has largely prevented the
turning of wheat stubble but with the
recent general rains most of the stub
Bile can be turned and every effort
should be made to plow at once. Any
further delay at this time will per-
nit the fly to emerge from the in
Tested stubble. Plow now and most
of the infested stubble will be gotten
rid of before many of the flies have
escaped. By the first of September
the flies will begin to emerge from
unturned stubble in swarms. Flowing
now will kill three birds with one
stone: Get rid of most of the present
crop of flies, conserve moisture, and
insure a good seed bed.
If the rain has been too light to
make plowing possible, then disk
thoroughly and in few days plowing
will probably be possible. By all
means do not lose this opportunity OF
dealing the Hessian fly blow.
Follow the plow with dick, har-
row or drag to close up openings and
help to prevent the flies from reach
ing the surface where they are turned
under. AS volunteer wheat appears
later, cultivate and keep it down. II

wheat-sowing time, so do not delay
blowing until the last moment. Pre-
pare your wheat ground early ans
then do not get in hurry about seed

ROAD DRAGGING TIME.

Few farm tasks bring more pleasure
than dragging roads, both to him who
drags and to him who enjoys ride
over well-dragged road. 1t is a lit
tie hard on the horses ahead of the
drag on a hot day but an occasional
rest helps them out.
There is every opportunity to get
good results from road dragging now.
The weather is likely to remain reas-
onably well-settled and people have
time both to drag and to use the
roads. Chautauquas are about over,
but county fairs, picnics, outings and
many similar festivities are made
more enjoyable by the liberal use of
the drag. Coal, building material,
and supplies of all kinds can be haul
ed from town in much larger loads
and fewer trips if everyone along the
road has done his share of the good
work.
A well dragged road in front Of
the farm is a great satisfaction to
the owner, but why not give him the
additional satisfaction of letting him
know that you appreciate what he has
done as you drive by? Why not tel
him what you think and help estab-
lish prize for the best dragged piect
of road? There are few ways II
which little money will bring bigger
results in road work than in stimu
lating friendly rivalry among thu
workers. A careful use of the drae
may save the use of a road grader

HANDWoRK BENEFIT
CIAL IN TEACHING HIS
TORY AND GEOGRAPHY

How to devise handwork in the
grades, using inexpensive materials
and making the work an aid in study
ing history and geography is explain
ed in a recent bulletin issued by the
department Of manual arts Of the
UNA ersity of Missouri.
Many schools hesitate to attempt
any handwork before an extensive
equipment can be installed, says the
bulletin, but much good work can be
done with very little material. A
sand table, work table, scissors,
paste brushes, punch, hammers, a
saw, a mitre box, brace, an auger
bit, a clay jar, weaving frames, and
weaving needles are all that is abso-
lutely necessary for the work, though
of course more extensive material is
advisable.
Handwork may be taught in con-
nection with the regular studies, such
as history and geography, to a great
advantage. For instance, in history,
clay figures may be used to represent
battles and other important events,
and country may be shown on a
SdUuIdDiG NY PaobCOooiu oAAoS HN~NNS
for houses, weeds or small plants for
trees, and clay figures for inhabitants
Further, homemade history book
may be made by pasting in blank
book pictures cut out to illustrate the
history lessons.
Relief maps may be made on the
sandtable in connection with geogra-
phy. and figures may be placed on 1T
to show the history of the country.
Making certain utensils, vehicles,
houses, bridges, ETC., mentioned in the
lessons is also very helpful.
The work, though the children look
on it as play, fixes on their minds in
delibly the story il, portrays, for they
read the lesson again and again to
gather details of the portrayal. They
not only learn history and geography
in this manner, but they also require
skill with their hands while engaged

PRESIDENT WILSON WRITES
ON OPPORTUNITIES FOR U. S.
AT END OF THE WAR
P,cF SIX

In the September issue of the Gene
raj Federation Magazine, President
Wilson writes on the opportunities of
America after the war and what the
war has taught the United States, as
follows:
"No one can doubt that the imme-
diate future of the world will be
crowded with quick changes. Every
true lover of America must wish the
United States to play a part in those
changes which will be worthy of her
ideals and her character. Almost
alone among the great nations of the
world she will be unhampered in
meeting a great opportunity.
ain the first place her resources
are unimpaired Not only has the
war and all it's attendant circumstanc-
es made no hurtful drain upon her
men or her materials; it has even en-
HANGED her skill and added TO her re-
sources, because of the very circum-
stances of her situation, cut off from
her usual trade with many parts of
the world and called upon to supply
what she never supplied before, to
the nations engaged in the great strug-
gle not only, but also to her own peo-
pie.
"She has developed industries that
she had before neglected, has found
new uses for her material and new
material to use. She has thus been
enabled to realize what she can do
more fully than ever before, and to
do it better than she ever did before.
No other nation will stand quite SC
ready as she to serve the world in
every work of peace and develop
ment.
Opportunities for Financiers.
aIn the second place she will prob
ably Of necessity be the chief reliance
of the rest of the world in the field Of
finance. Probably the chief part il

INSPECTION
PROTECTS THE FARMER

Six inspectors from the experiment
station of the University of Missouri
are soon to start on their yearly fall
collection of samples of fertilizers
used by Missouri farmers. So much
fertilizer is now being used in the
State that it has become necessary to
protect the farmer from poor and
sdulterated goods. To do this the
Missouri Fertilizer law provides that
all fertilizers offered for sale in Mis-
souri, should be registered at the ex-
pertinent station; that registration
must include guaranteed chemical
composition which, together with a
registration tag, must be on every
package of the fertilizer; and that the
agricultural experiment station must
collect and analyze samples of the fer
tilizers used bv the farmers.
The inspectors are sent out in Sep
tember and October, when the greatest
quantity of fertilizers is on the mar
ket. They collect samples from the
dealers cars, warehouses, farmers
wagons and other places, and send
them to the laboratories of the agri-
cultural experiment station. There
they are examined to ascertain if the
fertilizers offered for sale is in ac-
cordance with the registered guaran-
tee. At the close of each year re-
port is published showing the results
of all the samples analysed. The
published report also gives list Of
all manufacturers offering fertilizers
for sale together with a list of the
brands which are on the market. In
addition, farmers may send samples
of fertilizer to the agricultural exper-
iment station to be examined for them
During 1915, lit localities and 6a
counties were visited by the inspec.
tors. About $50 samples were taker
representing 222 different brands O
fertilizers. It was found that though
the guarantees sometimes exceed tbs
product, the composition Of the pro
duct is sometimes better than repre-
sented, and that on the whole tn
farmers Of the State are well pro
tected in the purchase Of fertilizers
