BEAT YOUR WHEAT YIELDS!
FARMERS RAISING OVER 80 BUSH
ELS PER ACRE PROFIT FROM
THEIR SEASONS WORK.

The indicated average yield of
wheat for 1916 is reported by the
United States Department of Agricul-
>ture to be only 14.1 bushels per acre
compared with 1863 bushels per acre
last year. Nine million less acres are
in wheat and decrease in total yielG
of three hundred million bushels less
than last year is predicted. Wheat is
a high priced crop and every bushel
counts.
Weather conditions during the re-
mainder of the current season wiz
have an effect upon the yields. The
early handling Of the crop, including
the plowins, preparation of the seed
bed, the kind of seed used, the atten
ton given to the fertility Of the soil,
and to the supplying of plantfood to
give the crop good start and carry it
along to maturity, are among the fac
tors that determine whether next
years wheat field will make profit
over and above expenses.

WOMAN EXPERT IN
HOME EFFICIENCY
FOR STEPHENS BILL
MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK SAYS
1T WILL AID CONSUMERS.
lNSUREs STANDARD QUALITY
Consumers in Small Towns and Rural
Communities Are Victims of Dis
!, elimination by Big Store Methods.
Which Encourage Substitution of
Unidentified Goods at High Figures.

Mrs. Christine Frederick, household
efficiency expert and consulting house
hold editor of the Ladies' Home Jour
nal, the New York Evening Sun, Sue
cessfui Farming, and various other
publications. recently appeared before
the Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives in Washington in support
of the Stephens-Ashurst bill. This
measure, according to its title, is de-
signed ITO protect the public against
dishonest advertising and false pre-
lenses in merchandising"
The bill will legalize standard, uni
form prices and prevent price cutting
Of trade marked goods by big city
stores for the purpose of giving the
false impression that all their other
articles are proportionately low.
Price cutting is merely bait to lure
customers so that articles of inferior
merit may be substituted at high
prices.

of retailer or manufacturer except as
they affect the consumer. There is
great need that the woman consumer,
who spends most of the family income
for articles used in the home, should
be able to buy with the least extrava-
gance, the least inefficiency and the
least waste. 1 believe that a uni
form price on an identified article is
one of the chief means by which this
most desired end can be obtained"
Mrs. Frederick declared that the
passage of the Stephens-Ashurst bill
will result in greater household eff
cheney in buying for the following
reasons:
First, 1t will help the consumer
establish a standard in all pur-
chasing.
Second, it will guarantee to the
consumer continuance of those
standards once they are estab-
lished.
Third, it will give a wider dis
tribution to more kinds of prod
i ucts that the consumer daily
buys.
Fourth, 1t will save the consum-
er's money because the fixed price
will guarantee a permanent, de-
pendable supply of articles.
Fifth, 1t will be especially help
full to farm women and small town
consumers who are now victims
of discrimination.
Sixth, it will make It possible
for the homemaI<er to practice
more efficient and less WastefuI
buying methods.
Seventh, 1t will guarantee to the
consumer that the goods which
she buys are made under honor
able standards Of manufacture,
fair pay and sanitary conditions.
In her argument for identified ar
ticles Mrs. Frederick said it was adj
mitted that cut prices tend to drive
such articles from the market and
she was merely showing the interest
that the consumer has in having ar
ticles she buys so marked and brand
ed that they can be identified.
Suppose, for the sake of argument,
that there is no such thing as an
identified article" said Mrs. Fred
erick. IF there is no means of identi-
flying, say, pound of butter or a
pair of hosiery, then every purchase
of one of those necessities becomes
an experiment. In each case must
make test which takes time. trouble
and money and which is worthless in

HOW PARsON BROWN
HELPED FARMERS
Studied Up Life History Of Hes
sian Fly and Found Proven
tive Measures Advocated
BY u. S, Department of
Agriculture

"Mary, I've simply got to find out
what the Hessian Fly is and what 1t
does and why all the farmers are con-
tinually talking about 1t without seem
ing to do anything else" said Parson
Brown to his wife, the other evening
as he returned from a trip through the
countryside. "I'm going to write to
the Department of Agriculture and the
state experiment station and see If l
cannot find out about the pest"
The letters were sent and few
days later several bulletins were re-
ceived by the Parson, who took them
into his study and read them thor
oughly several times. He learned the
habits Of the Fly, that the eggs hatch
In the late fall, and that the young
must have tender young wheat plants
upon which to feed and deposit them
selves, else they die. Finally in
Farmers Bulletin $40, of the q. S.
Department of Agriculture, he read
the following statement:
"All practical measures to COM
bat the fly must necessarily be in
the nature Of preventatives, look
ing (1) to the elimination of the
pest in the young plants in the
fall, and (2) to the increasing of
the vigor Of the young plants in
order to enable them to counter
act the insects efforts when pres
ent. Under the first come late
sowing. rotation Of crops, burn
ing of the old stubble, and the de-
etruction of volunteer wheat.
Under the second should be class
ed the enrichment of the soil, it's
thorough preparation, and select
ing and properly sowing the best
seed"
In the same bulletin, he found a dis
cussion of the value of some quick act
ing fertilizer as preventive measure.
The second statement was the follow
ing:
"The application broadcast of
some quick acting fertilizer con-
tanning large percentage of phos-
plate (phosphorus) made as soon
as general infestation is apparent
will cause the plants to tiller more
freely and give them sufficient
vigor to withstand the winter and
thus increase the number of
healthy stems the following spring.
IL. While it may seem far
fetched to bring forward as pre-
preventive measure the enrich
ment of the soil, fertile soil will
produce plants that will Withstand
with little injury attacks that will
prove disastrous to plants growing
on an impoverished or thin soil.
-. 1t is also on the thin or
impoverished soils that the diff
fully Of sowing late enough to
evade the fall attack and at the
same time secure growth suf-
encountered, and whatever can be
done to obviate this difficulty will
constitute a preventive measure"
MARY, I've not only found out about
the Hessian Fly, but I've found out
how the Government advises that the
pest be combatted, and I'm going to
get supply of these bulletins and put
the proposition UP to the farmers in
this community" said Parson Brown.
So during the next week, he spent
much of his time talking Hessian Fly
to the farmers, and the indications are
that his work is going to mean more
and better wheat per acre in that
county.
