To Cut on Germany.
The primary purpose Of the en-
barge will be to make doubly Certain
that no shipments OF grains, fuel,

The volume Of exports to the Scan

Secondly, the object OF the embargo

Under the embargo the needs Of

rule, the later the ground is plowed,
the earlier the wheat should be sown.
Yield Is Affected.
The rate to seed wheat bears a defi-
mite relation to the time of seeding.
Wheat that is planted early tillers
aboundantly and produces many heads
from a single grain. On the other
hand, late sOwn wheat often germi-
mates poorly and produces but one or
two heads to the plant For these
reasons less seed is required when
sown early. and more when sown late.
late.
The condition of the seeded also
affects Athe rate at which the crop
should be sown.- Less seed is required
on well prepared ground than on
ground plowed late and poorly pre-
pared.
More seed is needed in eastern than
in central and western Kansas Also
more seed of the soft varieties should
be sown than of the hard varieties In
southeastern Kansas, where soft wheat
is generally grown, a bushel and a half

of wheat to the acre will usually give
best results when the wheat is sown
at the proper time.
Seed That Is Required.
In northeast Kansas, a bushel and
a peck should be sown. In central
Kansas, about a busheI will prove suf-
ficient, while in western Kansas, often
half a busheI to three pecks of seed is
sufficient to produce maximum yields
when the crop is sown early on well
prepared ground.
For every seven to ten days that
seeding is delayed after the best date
of seeding. an additional peck of seed
per acre should be sown. At the
Agricultural college on an average
for the past five years, wheat seeded
after October Is has given best re-
suits when sown at the rate of two
bushels per acre. and between October
and Is, at the rate of one and one
half bushels.

The Farm That Kills.
he ST Paul pioneer.pres..

From the st. Paul fioneer-ffess.
James Whitcomb Riley understood
better than any one else what the
country heart, its life. it's love and it's
home surroundings might be and what
it has, in many instances, been. For 1t
Is precisely because this human side of
country life has died out of so many
farmers that rural life conferences are
considered necessary.
The other side of modern farm life is
almost a direct negative of everything
the poet conceived il to be. 1t is life
without heart or love or an attractive
home. 1t is an unceasing battle OF in
sufficient natural strength against ex-
haustless nature. 1t is an abundance of
drudgery without abundance of rest.
Its love is consumed in grubbing for
pennies It's children are a necessary
evil until they can earn their board and
a little more. Its home is place of
last resort maintained only for the ne
cessities of eating and sleeping. There
are no books, no music, no rugs, no
laces. where these simple refinements
could be afforded There are no con-
veniences for the wife. Instead of
these there is abundance of ugly look
ing, harsh sounding and heartless ma
chinery There is everything in me-
chanics and profitable husbandry. But
not home.
Such is the product Of farming for
profit only Such are the farms that
drive young men to beer parties and
girls to the city kitchen. the shop and
the brothel. They are not the farms
that the poet knew They are the
farms that the devil knows best. for
killers and the devirs recruiting sta
tions. They are the reasons why rural
life conferences were invented I'm
less they can be redeemed for humani-

starvation.

the Third Epistle of John occurs this:

Pens of steel, gold and silver began
to be employed about the year 1900, or
very soon thereafter, but these were

first fountain pen was invented about

AS soon as men got their ideas of in

they used an iron instrument. which was
the parent of the pen There were pens
of iron and bronze and reeds, though
the word pen did not come into use un-
til some inventor hit upon the use of a

feather, gave us the word pen, though
Instruments for writing made of reeds
