mo BUTTER WHATEVER
SHOULD BE WASTED >

WASHINGTON, June If every
one of the 20,000,O0O American house.
holds should waste 1-3 ounce of butter
daily. the loss would be 114,062 500
pounds a year, the product of over
half million COWS, according to de-
partment of agriculture figures today.
Is only one in every 100 homes wasted
that IA ounce, the loss would total
over 100000 pounds annually. The
department issued these statistics to
show why no butter whatever should be
wasted.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June lit is
explained at the war department this
afternoon that the decision to reduce
the number of army cantonments to
be erected from 80 to 16, and to quarter
men in tents where buildings are not
provided is due to the fact that. the
erection of these cantonments will cost
fully twice as much as was expected.
So far as possible tents will be used
in camps to be located in the South.

definitely determined.

STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE
WILL OPEN OCTOBER LIST

The Fall Quarter of Colorado State
Teachers College at Greely opens
Monday, October L. With the mater
ial reduction in the fees which has
been made, prospects are for the larg-
est attendance in its history. With
few exceptions the faculty is the same
as last year. Ralph Glaze, well
known baseball and football coach,
has been added to the faculty, and will
nut Teachers college on the map ath-
letically.
In this connection it may be of in
terest to young men with talent Tor
imparting instruction to others to
learn that never in the history of tthe
institution has there been so great
demand for male teachers at excellent
salaries as at present. Practically all
of last years male graduates have
been placed in excellent positions,
many of them carrying salaries OF
from $1,000 to $500 per year.

WHO WILL SUPPLY THESE
NECESSITIES AND LUXUKlES

Summer is now over, and fal! time
is here with abundant harvests and
good prices.
This is the great time of the year
to dispose of goods of every descrip-
tion.
Nearly ten thousand people can be
induced to buy all or most of the
necessities or luxuries of life in Jules
burg.
These people are already thinking
of buying groceries, clothing, furni-
ture, musical instruments, jewelry
automobiles, etc, and are reading the
local and daily papers, the magazines
and catalogues for hints on the best
brands to buy and where they can be
obtained at the most reasonable
prices.
The local merchants can easily get
the bulk of this trade if they will tell
the people what they have in stock
and let them know that they are in
vited to make comparison of prices
And the best way to do this is to
let the Grit-Advocate print your mes
sage.
Keep the silver lining polished.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The girls of last years Athletic
Association will give party for the
new members who will be taken in as
soon as the Association for this year
is organized, on Wednesday evening
in the High School gymnasium. Any
girl of the High School may become
a member of the Association, however,
it is not compulsory. We hope that
all the girls will be interested enough
in this to become a member.
, Monday afternoon, the Serior and
Sophomore girls gym class instead OF
having their regular gymnasium en-
ercises went for hike to the river.
Miss Gallagher is making the wori;
more interesting every day and We all
wonder what she has in store for US
before the year is over.
Many of the students, both boys and
girls, have joined the Interpretatlve
Reading class. Because of the inter-
est so many are taking in this work
we may look forward to some good
programs this year.
Last Thursday afternoon the Sopho-
more class took their supper and went

spring wheat. The production Of

to be stimulated il ths Great fasins
area by present an1 prospective Psic-
e and by plans now under way to in
crease the crop as . patriotic effort
to meet the necessities M var eondi-
items. The soils of the plains are gen
orally rich; fertilizers are not used and
this makes agriculture in this section
independent of the wartime fertiliz-
er situation.
Why Winter WHEAT
Winter wheat is recommended for
the region for sevsrsl reasons. In the
first place. it is naturally adapted to
an extensive agriculture, in which
large machinery can be used to ad-
vantage and a minimum of man labor
can be made to cover = maximum &C
reage. In the second place winter
wheat shows a closer relation between
yield and water content of the soil at
seeding time than any other crop
Under dry-farming conditions, in
normal soil, winter wheat can use wa
ter from a depth of 6 or more feet
If the soil at feeding time is wet to as
great depth as feet, the depart
ment advises sowing as great an acre
age as possible. Conditions are fav-
orable for termination and growth,
and the chances for a crop are good,
even through thespringand winter
rainfall may be below the average.
On the other hand. seeding in a dry
soil means that the rainfall and all
other climatic conditions must be
much better than normal if crop is
to be produced.
Bulletin on the Subject
Brief suggestions for winter-wheat
growing under dry-farming condi-
tions are given in Farmers Bulletin
895, "Growing Winter Wheat on the
Great Plains" which will be sent free
on application to the United States
Department of Agriculture. These
suggestions are based on extensive
experiments in the Great Plains
States. The bulletin discusses var
ieties the rate and time of seeding, the
place of winter wheat in the agricul-
ture of the region, and cultural me-
thods for each of the nine dry-farm-
ing states of the Great Plains region.
The result of these experiments will
be treated more comprehensively in a
/ department bulletin to be published
| shortly.

WARM THE WATER FOR
DAIRY STOCK IN WINTER

A good supply of clean. fresh wa
ter should always be at hand for dairy
cows. Much water is needed for the
high producing milch COW owing to the
nature of her product, about 81 per
cent of which is water. 1t should be
handy at all times and in the WINTER
if the tank is outside, heat should be
applied to take the chill off the water.
Cows will drink more water If warm
ed to go or 70 degrees F. than if made
to drink ice water. A tank heater
can be provided at low cost that Will
keep water at proper temperature
thereby saving feed and energy OF the

it with high priced feed.-H. c. New
