COUNTIES WANT AGENTS

Twenty-one Missouri counties are
interested in the emergency county
agent plan. These counties have APP
piled through county councils of de-
Tense and farm bureaus for help in
perfecting organization Off an agent.
Four counties have already begun or
ganization.
Emergency county agents in all
counties which do not have agents is
part of the plan proposed by the
United States government for increas-
ing production. The University of
Missouri College of Agriculture has
been designated as the institution
through which the federal appropria-
tons for emergency agents will be ad-
ministered in this State. Counties
must organize to obtain an agent. The
College of Agriculture will send a
representative to any county which
requests help in organizing for the
work. This representative will ex-
plain the plan and designate the nee
essary steps that must be taken to OBJ
tain an agent.

the spring and early summer season.
The control of the wheat joint
worm depends upon the destruction of
the old infested wheat stubble. The
greatest source of infestation is wheat
stubble which has been sown to Glow
er or grass, because the insect lives in
the wheat stubble until the next
spring, when it comes out and flies to
adjoining wheat fields.
The common practice of seeding
clover or grass in wheat fields in the
spring should be discontinued in lo-
calities where the joint worms have
damaged the wheat badly. The in-
Tested stubble may be plowed soon af-
ter harvest, and when a good seed
bed has been prepared the grass and
clover may be seeded in August or
September The land may also be
sown to wheat again if the blowing is
well done and a good seeded is made.
A liberal use of common fertilizers
or stable manure will help the wheat
plants to overcome an attack of joint
worms.

WHEAT YIELD SIX
AND ONE-HALF BUSHELS
ABOVE 1916 CROP

In spite of the adverse fall and win
ter weather conditions to the 1917
Missouri wheat crop, the threshing
record shows that the acre yield is 6a
bushels more than it was in 1916. The
wheat is not all threshed but the rec
ords indicate a yield of lab bushels
per acre, while the 1916 acre yield
was 8.3 bushels.
The hessian fly is also under con-
troll due, first, to the cooperative
efforts of farmers to control the pest
last fall and, second, to the dry wealth
er at seeding time which kept the
early sown wheat from starting
growth until after the fy-free date.
Why not keep the hessian fly under
control if the yield of wheat can be in
creased at the same time? This can
be done, says T. J. Talbert of the
University of Missouri College of
Agriculture, by making a little better
seeded, by destroying volunteer wheat
and by seeding as near the fy-free
date as practical.
The use Of commercial fertilizer or
barnyard manure will make stronger
and healthier plants which are better
able to stand an attack of the fly.
With the hessian fly under control and
the chinch bug abundant only in few
sections of the State the prospect for
an increased yield of wheat in 1918 is
good.

ALL ROADS LEAD
TO STATE FAIR

All roads OF September 22nd to goth
will lead to Sedalia. The State High
way Board suggests that road drag
commissioners in all counties having
roads which will be traversed by State
fair visitors make an extra effort to
have the roads properly dragged and
in good shape. The roads should also
be marked, for the convenience of
travellers. All Missouri is interested
in the State Fair, and the automobile
is now recognized as one of the prin-
cipal means Of transporting visitors
to and from Sedalia. 1t is reported
that more than $4,000 automobiles
carried passengers to tie State Fair
last year, and We urge the road drag
commissioners in this county to have
the roads in the best condition to ac-
commodate the heavy traffic this year,
and in this way favorably advertise
our county.

WHEAT JOINT WORM
IN SOUTHEAST MISSOURI

Many wheat fields in Southeast Mis-
souri, are injured worse every year by
the wheat joint worms than by the
hessian fly. The injury of these two
insect pests of wheat is similar, but
the work of each may be easily de-
tected, according to T. J. Talbert of
the University Of Missouri College of
Agriculture.
The injury of the wheat joint worm
is characterized by swellings or gals
in the wheat straw. Small round
holes may also appear in the gals OF
knots. By splitting the infested SWELL
ings in the wheat straw half dozen
or more yellowish or whiteish larvae
about one-eighth inch long may be
found. Most of the swellings or gals
will usually be found near the second
and third points of the wheat plant.
The hessian fly in the larvae and
flaxseed stage is usually found at the
crown of the wheat plant or near the
first or second joint, and it is always
located between the leaf sheath and
the stalk. The larvae, or magot stage
of the fly does not feed within the
wheat straw and it does not produce
gals or swellings.
Both insect pests injure the wheat
plants by cutting off the flow of sap,
which may cause the wheat heads to
fail or only partially develop. The in
jury may also cause the wheat to fall
or lodge badly in the spring during
heavy rain or wind storms. The hes
sian fly damages the wheat in the fall
and in the spring, while the joint
worm injury is confined entirely to

BEATING THE SUBMARINES

German undersea operations fail in
their principal object, if conclusions
are drawn from figures furnished
Parliament by Premier Lloyd George.
His speeches constitutes the most
cheering news the British people have
had since he assumed the reins of of
fee. Germany's highest hope in sue
cessful use of the U-boats has been
that England would be starved into
submission. The premier brands the
submarine campaign as failure and
justifies his opinion with facts and
figures showing England's food sup
ply is stronger today than it has been
for years. With starvation of Eng
land as one of the first objects of un-
dersea warfare, it is encouraging to
know that losses have been checked.
The figures of Lloyd George indi-
cate new tonnage is being added to
British shipping so rapidly that sub
marine progress is slow. Not more
than 250,000 tons a month are being
sunk by the U-boats or a total of g.
100000 tons year On the other
hand, England added new tonnage
amounting to 484,000 tons to her ship
ping during the first six months of
1917. For the last half of the year
the additions will amount to 1,424,-
900 tons. From this it is seen that
England is constantly increasing new
tonnage while submarine successes are
diminishing. While the losses are
still shown to be in excess of the new
tonnage, it is evident that the prob
lem is gradually being solved. With
this condition existing, Germany will
be long time starving England

ToPDREss WHEAT WITH STRAW

Last season showed especially good
results for topdressing wheat. The
old experiment field of the University
of Missouri College of Agriculture at
Columbia had twenty-one plots of
wheat with various treatments, and
in early spring when most wheat
looked dead and dried up those plots
which had been top-dressed with ma
nure and straw started off vigorous
ly, showing that they were not badly
dried out although all the rest had
been badly injured. When threshing
time came the highest yield, 1914
bushels per acre, was on plot that
has been topdressed with strawy ma
nure and all of the topdressed plots
yielded we'll. Missouri does not often
experience so dry winter as the last
one, but spreading straw on wheat in
early winter not only protects it from
drying out, but also tends to prevent
smothering by ice sheets. 1t keeps the
snow from blowing off, and helps ma
terially in returning fertility to the
soil.
Any source of fertility is well worth
considering at the present high pric-
es of crops and fertilizers. A ton of
straw contains 10 pounds of nitrogen,
/ IL pounds of phosphorus and IS
pounds of potassium. At the present
high cost of nitrogen and potassium in
commercial fertilizers the nitrogen of
a ton of straw is worth $3.50 and the
potassium is worth $500, making the
straw worth $3.50 ton for fertilizer,
in addition to the small amount OF
phosphorus it contains. OF course
straw has additional value in that it
adds vegetable matter to the soil. :.
Until the last few years straw had
to be spread by hand and the task was
somewhat laborious, but recently ma
chimes have been put on the market
for spreading straw rapidly and cas-
lily. The practice is gaining in popu-
larity where the spreaders have been
introduced.

Experience the Best Teacher.

1t is generally admitted that ex-
perience is the best teacher, but
should we not make use of the expert
ence of others as we'll as our own?
The experience of a thousand persons
is more to be depended upon than that
Of one individual. Many thousands of
persons have used Chamberlain
Cough Remedy for coughs and colds
with the best results, which shows it
to be a thoroughly reliable prepara-
ton for those diseases. Try it. 1t is
prompt and effectual and pleasant to
take. Obtainable everywhere. (adv.)
