MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. T.
With flour advancing seventy cents

of bread was in grave danger Of soar
Ing, local bakers declared today.
Flour sells at S675 barrel today as
compared with $6.O5 a week ago.
The increase in the price Of wheat
during the East seven days is respon-
sib1e for the rise. While there WA
no advance in the price of grain to-
day. the high mark Of $1.41 bushel
for September wheat was maintained.
Last week, the grain sold for 1927.
With every cent advance in wheat,
flour increases five cents per barrel.
II wheat climbs higher, bakers must
either increase the cost of every
twelve ounce loaf or make smaller
loaves, they announced.

Jacksonville, Fla, October 30.-W.
L. Tyre, an engineer of the Allan
tic Coast Line railway, who was Sc
riously injured yesterday afternoon
when a member of the Jacksonville
police force broke a club over his
head in enforcing the "move-on" or
dinance to break up demonstration
in behalf of striking street railway
employees, is resting easy today and
it is believed he will recover.
Van C. Swearingen, ex-mayor of
Jacksonville, who was speaking from
the labor hall here and whose remarks
attracted great throng on one of the
main streets of the city, this morning
answered to the charge of interfering
with an officer in the discharge of his
duties. Three other defendants ar
rested in connection with the demon
stration we're discharged in the munic
ipal court, but the trial of Swearinger
had not been concluded at an early
hour this afternoon because of the
large number of witnesses being
heard.

Montgomery, Ala, Oct. 31.-The
body of youth, apparently IL years
old, believed to be that of J. B. Chris
tan, of Tallahassee, Fla, was found
in the mail car of train arriving
here from Atlanta last night. The
coroners verdict was death by suf-
location. The boys forehead, eyes
face and chest are bruised, but nc
bones broken. The body was found
under the pile of mail sacks and
pouches when the car was cleared
here.
Mail Messenger Cofield says the boy
approached him in Atlanta and asked
to be allowed to ride to Opelika. He
was refused, and said he would apply
to the baggagemaster 1t is believed
the boy crawled into the car and hid
himself and was buried under the pile
of mail matter thrown back by the
clerks. 1t is thought the boy was a
student at Auburn, but this has not

portant little things that go for the
construction but all advocated good
roads. Like Sam and Johns bear
hunt, everything they had, even to
the hunting knife, but when bruln
was sighted they suddenly discov-
cred they had no caps for the gun. So
it is with good roads; details are
overlooked. A road must shed water
but not like a ducks back. Yet 1t
must not hold water in the middle;
therefore, you must preface; race,
then surface. A road is just as good
as it's worst phase. Fix the worst
places first; fix them better than the
best place is now Invite cooperation
then ask for it.
Get the land owner interested in
the public (and even private) road
running through or by his land; eX-
plain to him that the road ditch
drain was put there only for the ben
eft of the road, and not as canal
for his farm. Explain and get him
to understand that you commission
ers can't build this road and then
allow him to use disc harrows and
blows cutting them up again. 1t is
too expensive, and greater still, most
uncomfortable to the other fellow.
When new legislation takes your
convicts away again, probably then
you will wake up. But why don't
YOU get busy now? No you expect
the other fellow to do it? Then that
is Just exactly what he is waiting on
you to begin. Why not try to pre-
serve what you already have that is
costing you prabably less than form
erly. If you wanted a public road
granted through or by your place,
YOU would exert great deal OF en-
ergy for it's promotion, and yet you
will sit idle and make no effort What
ever for the preservation of the one
YOU already have. Go ask those par
ties living along a road which has
been discontinued from the county's
support and then put yourself In
their place.

Farmers Advised to Make Sure at
Once to Get Best Available Seed.

Athens, Oct 31.-The college OF
agriculture warns farmers in the boil
weevil territory to at once make sure
of getting the best seed available for
boil weevil conditions. Later on the
probabilities are that desirable seed
will be much higher priced. With a
view to determining the best varie-
ties to use where the weevil has ap-
peared, the college of agriculture has
been conducting tests for several
years and has been making many kinds
of crosses in breeding into plant
the desired qualities of earliness, dis
ease resistance and good yields. All
varieties that other plant breeders
have developed for boil weevil con-
ditions have been given trials, and at
the present time plats of the college
permit of a comparison of the beha-
yior of each.

water and limestone phosphate
on an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. It cleans out

While you are enjoying your

The millions Of peope who

STOP KILLING CALVES.

In Argentine there is a law making
it a felony to kill any female of the
cattle species that is under six years
of age. Argentine is wiser than we
are. The economic mill grinds slowly
but it grinds exceedingly small. We
are now paying the prices which may
be considered exorbitant for first
class mich cows, for beef and milk.
That the killing of three million
calves every year for veal, and the
spaying of thousands of heifers and
fattening them for block, is rcspon-
sible, in a large measure, for the
present high prices of certain food
commodities, there can be no cues
ton.
Calves are taken from their moth
ers Immediately after they are borr
on the pretext that cows milk is
too valuable for cows calf. These
calves, in case it happens to be in the
vicinity of large city, are often solo
by calf buyers to people in the lower
districts for bob-veal. Those that are
not sold to calf buyers are raised OF
SKINNED milk and if they do no

OAT SMUT PREVENTION.

The average annual losses from
smut in oats are greater than those
caused by any other preventable GER
cal disease in the United States.
Treating the seed with hot water or
with formaldehyde solution before
sowing is an easy, cheap, and effec-
tive way of preventing this disease.
The latter method, which is the one
most available for general use, is
here briefly summarized. Both meth
DDS are described in detail in farm
ers' bulletin No. 507, which will be
sent free upon application to the Sec
retary of agriculture, Washington
D. C.
Mix the formalin "a commercial
preparation which is 81 per cent for
maldehyde by weight) with water, at
the rate of one pound Ia little less
than a pint) to 40 gallons Of water
The grain may be either loosely in
closed in sacks or put loose into tub
or vat with the solution. Agitate the
sacks or stir the loose grain occa-
sionally so that the entire surface
of every grain will be thoroughly wet.
Instead of being immersed the seed
oats may be spread on clean floor
! or canvas and sprinkled with the So
/ luton and shoveled over during the
process so that they will be wet even
|, " as in the other method. Not over
a gallon of solution will be needed
for every bushel of dry grain. After
sprinkling, shovel the seed into pile
cover it with sacks wet with the so
luton and allow it to stand for a
least two hours before spreading i
out to dry.
Precautions: The oats may b'
seeded as soon as dry enough to rul
through the drill. If the seed is still
moist, however, the drill must be Sc
to sow more to the acre than If it /
dry. The quantity which should b
sown may be determined by measur
ing a given bulk before and afte
! treatment and figuring the proper
ton of increase. After treating d
not expose the seed to freezing un
! til it is thoroughly dry.
Do not allow the treated seed t
come into contact with old sacks, bin
or machinery in which there may b
smut spores. If such must be use<
scald them or wash them first wit
the formaldehyde solution.

hotbed. Sprouted oats are much more
easily supplied in the growing season
when a bed in one corner of the poul-
try yard can be fenced off by poultry
wire after sowing the oats thickly.
After the oats have sprouted nicely
let the hens have access to the oat
bed and scratch there for their food.
This is desirable where the poultry
are not allowed free range.
My ideal for poultry keeping is to
have but one breed of poultry and al
low this breed to have full range. 1t
is possible for flock of fifty OF a
hundred hens to secure their own food
during the late spring, summer and
early fall seasons, if they have full
range of a small farm where they car
secure all the green food they want
and large quantities of insects OF var
ious kinds.-C. A. Green, Green:

die of scours they become runty and
badly stunted in their growth.
AS a general thing the practice is
to be condemned. The farmer and
dairyman are saving at the spigot
and wasting at the bung. They must
now pay $75 for a good cow and have
none to sell. Every time we sit down
to the dinner table we are paying the
price for this short-sighted policy.
One thing sure, if we kill all our
calves it is only a question of time
until we will have no cows. The farm
err and dairyman, in their greed, have
not been willing to wait for their
money, but have grasped at the dol
