ada sent the wheat market yesterday
and today straight skyward At one
time the ascent OF prices amounted to

whirl OF excitement. showing net
gains OF l0%c to 11Ac. with the Sep
tember option at 1.4ih to $1.4iis.
and with December at s1.4s to $l.4s%.
Something OF the strain involved
and the far-reaching consequences
may be realized from the fact that
according TO the United States gov
ernment crop report. which was the
principal cause OF yesterdays excite
ment. the domestic yield OF wheat for
1916 will be S5s.OOO. 900 bushels small.

TO buy cleared the market at inter
walls almost completely bare OF offer
ings and forced the market higher
and higher until the May delivery

under the topmost level on record In
the violent fluctuations Of the FIRST
year of the European war.
Foreign buying on huge scale ap-
parently had much to do with the
extreme prices In the last hour OF to

BOYS INVESTMENT PAYS
TEN THOUSAND PER CENT.

Last spring a year ago." says Farm

Dor boy was given 10 cents by his
grandmother. He purchased a packet
of good cucumber seed with his money
and grew a nice patch of cucumbers
for the local village market. His crop
of cucumbers brought him a little over
Sc in money, all of which his mother
allowed him to keep and spend as he
pleased.
with 81 of his money this boy pur-
chased a-few little things for himself,
and with the other So he purchased a
eve lamb. By this spring his eve
lamb had grown into a mature mother
sheep, and she gave birth to twin
lambs. So now the boy has three
sheep from his investment. The
mother sheep is now worth SO, and
the lambs are worth SIS each, making
a total value of $50 he has earned with
his 10 cents in a year and a half. Be-
sides, he sold the wool this spring
from the mother sheep for $S.45, which
he has placed in the savings bank as
the beginning of a bank account of his

SUBMARINE
PERFORMS A
GREAT FEAT

The worlds first submarine mer-
chairman, the German underwater
liner Deutschland. anchored below
Baltimore Sunday night after voyaging
safely across the Atlantic. passing the
allied blockading squadrons and elud-
ing enemy cruisers watching for her
off the American coast. She carried
mail and a cargo of $50 tons of costly
chemicals and dyestuffs, and is to
carry back home a similar amount Of
nickel and crude rubber, sorely needed
by the German army.
Fifteen days out from Bremerhaven
to Baltimore, the submarine reached
safety between the Virginia capes at
las O'Clock Sunday morning, passing
in on the surface covered by a heavy
pail of darkness which settled over
the entrance of the bay with the setting
of a tell-tale half moon. Once inside
the visitor threw caution aside and be-
gan shrieking his siren, signaling a
pilot and al the same time attracting
the attention of the tug Thomas F.
Timmins, which had been waiting in
the lower bay for nearly two weeks to
greet the Deutschland and convoy her
into port.
The ship bore a sealed message from
Emperor William, of Germany, to
President woodrow Wilson, and
brought a cargo of d~yestuffs, chemi-
Gals and mail estimated at 1000 tons,
1t was the completion of a 1000 miles
sea voyage for the craft, the longest
and most hazardous eve attempted by
any submarine. Three hours after its
arrival in the bay led by the tug ThoIn-
as F. Timmins, the little vessel with a
record of thirteen days of mysterious
vigil of the Virginia capes, the great
submersible began the last leg in her
voyage, up the Chesapeake Bay and
arrived at Baltimore early Sunday
morning.
The boat was consigned to A. Sehu-
macher and company, local agents of
the North Germen Lloyd line, and her
cargo to the Eastern Forwarding COM
pany, a concern said to have been or
gained a few weeks ago especially to
handle the business of underwater
liners. The latter company has a pier
and warehouse, in which are stored
the goods to be loaded on the Deutsch-
land for her return trip.

tinue to increase for some time. Hith-
erto, comparatively few men have
studied agriculture with the deliberate
intention OF teaching 1t as q life work.
In consequence, while provision for Jag-
riculturaI education has been greatly
developed, the number Of teachers is
still small. A good teacher OF agri-
