Basis of Increased Acreage.

Basis of Increased Acreage.
Since the acreages sown last fall
are fresh in the memory Of farmers,
the sowingB suggested for this year are
compared with those Of 1916. For
Kansas, where more than one-tifth of
the winter wheat of the country was
sown in 1916 and a campaign for an
increase already s under way, an in
crease Of more than a million acres,
of one.seventh OF the total increase, is
recommended. Ohio is asked for one
ard one-tenth million acres over last
years sowlngs. This Is considered
possible and desirable by the agricul-
tural leaders of the state. Because Of
available land in the state, Oklahoma
is asked to increase the acreage one
fourth amounting to more than $780,
900 acres. Indiana and Illinois are
each asked to increase their acreage
by somewhat more than half mil
lion acres, thereby eQualing what
they have sown in the recent past.
oregon, because Of the abnormally
low acreage sown last fall, is asked to
increase the acreage this fall by one
quarter million acres, or so per cent,
These six states, Kansas, Ohio, Okla
bona, Indiana, Hin is and Oregon,
in which nearly one-halt Of the win
ter wheat was sown last fall, are ask
ed to furnish considerably more than
one-half Of the increase planned foE
tn fall. Their agricultural leaders
think it is possible and are taking the
neces airy steps to see that it is done
The largest percentage increases
are requested in some Of the Southern
states. Mississippi leads with 455
per cent increase and Georgia comes
next with 100 per cent increase. Ala
bama is asked for so per cent IN.
crease; Arkansas for 81 per cent, and
South Carolina for 81 per cent. These
S uthern States are anxious to In
crease their acreageS by this amount
to safeguard their own food supply
The increase in actual acres, however

those who cannot increase their usual
acreages without doing injustice to
other crops which should be grown.
These princi-' may be summed
up as follows:
/. Plow early. Give the plowed
land two months to settle before SOW
ing where possible.
2. Compact the Iate-plowsd land

figures quoted above are based upon
winter killing Of nine per cent and
yields per acre OF 1876 bushels for
! winter. wheat and 1872 bushels for
spring wheat, the averages for the
last ten years, and yield per acre in
1914 Of 10 bushels Of winter wheat,
and 1874 bushels Of spring wheat in
1915.
Principal Increases In Wheat Produc-
ton
The principal increases in acreage
Of winter wheat are recommended in
the areas where the acreage devoted
to that cereal are already large and
faremB are accustomed to growing
wheat and are equipped with machin-
cry for producing the crop. A mater
ial increase also Is recommended In
most Of the areas where the prOduc-
ton OF oats and corn is heavy since
much wheat can be sown to adYan-
tage on oat stubble and in the stand
ing corn or on ground from which the
corn crop has ben removed for the
silo, or cut for fodder. In some dis
tricts the increase In the acreage
could be made larger but this has
seemed inadvisable for fear Of disOr-
gcnizlng crop rotations with injury to
crops In succeeding yerr1. The de-
tailed recommendation resulting
from the joint consideration given to
the subject by the Federal Depart
ment Of Agriculture and by State Off
cials are shown IN the accompanying
table.

same being Senate Bill No. 14o, as
previously passed by both branches OF

been interesting political history. II
will be remembered that Senator
Calkins, of Fernandina, was appoint

LIGHTNING FINDS MARK.
Buildings of j. S. Briggs. Vassalbono,
Struck, Sunday-Damaee Slight.

During the series of thunder showers
State Sunday afternoon a heavy one
which came along at about o'clock
included Nassalboro in its path. and
during the progress of the shower
lightning struck the farm buildings of
John s. Briggs on Church Hill The
bolt struck the barn and passed di-
rectly down through a pile of straw in
the barn. but by a miracle the straw
was not set on fire. The greater part Of
the damage to the barn was to the sills
and the posts. In the barn in addition
to the straw were about ten tons of
pressed hay of last years crop. and
about twelve tons Of new hay, but no
damage was done in either case.
In q shed between the house and the
barn a slight blaze was started but was
quickly extinguished with the assist
ancc of neighbors. The house itself
was but little damaged, it being con-
fined to the ripping off of some of the
shingles and cutters. About 40 lights
of glass were broken in the different
buildings. One Of the freakish fits of
the lightning was that a bolt struck
close to Mr. Briggs new automobile
but did not damage 1t in the least.
The damage done by lightning to the
buildings was slight and is covered by
insurance in the c. E. Downing agency.
