WINTER WHEAT ON THE PLAINS.
Soil Moisture at Seeding Time is the
Most Important Factor i'm Pro-
ductiOn of Good Crops.

In the campaign for increased wheat
production, the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture is calling partic-
ular attention to the ~desirability of
winter wheat in the Great Plains re-
gion. yet advises against planting when
there is II lack Of soil moisture ut
seeding time.
The production of winter wheat IN
der dry farming conditions, says the
department, is likely to be stimulated
in the Great Plains area by present
and prospective prices and by plans
now under way to increase the crop as
Il patriotic effort to meet the necessi-
ties of war conditions. The soils of
the plains are generally rich; fertiliz-
ers are not used and this makes agricul
ture in this section Independent of the
wartime fertilizer situation.
Winter wheat Is recommended for
this region for several 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 n maximum acre
age. In the second place winter wheat
shows a closer relation between yield
and water content of the soil at seed
ing time than any other crop. Under
dry farming conditions, in a normal
soil, winter wheat can use water from
Il depth of six or more feet, If the soil
at seeding time is wet to as great a
depth as three feet, the department adj
vises sowing as great an acreage as
possible. Conditions are favorable for
termination and growth, and the
chances for a crop are good, even
though the winter and spring rainfall
may be below the average.
Brief suggestions for winter wheat
growing under dry farming conditions
are given in Farmers Bulletin No.
S95, Growing Winter Wheat on the
Great Plains" which will be sent free
on application to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. These sug-
g~estions are based on extensive exper-
iments in the Great Plains states. The
bulletin discusses varieties, the rate
and time of seeding, the place of win
ter wheat in the agriculture of the re-
gion, and cultural methods for each of
the nine dry farming states of the
Great Plains region. The results of
these experiments will be treated more
comprehensively in a department bull
letin to be published shortly.

PREDICTS RAISE IN WOOL PRICE.
Dollar Wool Before First of the Year
and Material Advances in the
Price of Clothing Soon.

The clothing salesman who last fall
and winter said, Buy now and lay
EN- away for ext season. was right.
Wool has reached a price of 10 to so
cents a pound, wholesale, and before
January 1 it viii be $1.0O a pound, ac-
cording to w. p. Birch, editor of the
American Sheep Breeder.
These prices compare with IS to SO
cents from 1912 t. 1915. Thirty-eight
cents prevailed until early in 1916,
when the price began to climb. Late
last year it began to creep toward the
present levels.
Scarcity of sheep, due to homestead
ing and other grazing restrictions, was
given by Chicago wool men as the chief
reason for the advancing prices.

Guide Posts at Street Corners.

AT the council meeting Saturday
evening it was decided to install posts
at the principal street corners of the
town for the benefit of automobilists,
requiring that all cars shall turn to
the right about these posts regardless
of what direction they may be travel
ing, thus reducing the danger of col
lisions and other accidents due to I'M
expected turns and other maneuvers
executed by amateurs and others who
drive cars about the city streets.

Plans Revised for New Draft Army.

AT the direct suggestion of President
wilson, Provost Marshal General
crowder has made extensive changes
In the mobilization arrangements. Con-
gestion of railroad traffic and the ne
cessity of making better provision for
the reception of men at the canton
ments dictated the changes.
Under the new order, 5 per cent of
the white men from each local area,
preferably those with military expert
, 1917-09-06

ence, were called for September 8, in
stead of 30 per cent, as formerly an
nounced. These will form skeleton Or
~ganizations and will set up a going
concern into which the remainder of
the men can be absorbed as they reach
the environments, without confusion.
The next 40 per cent will go forward
September 10, when the second quota
of 30 per cent was originally scheduled
to be called.
Another 40 per cent will be called on
October 3. instead of 30 per cent, and
the remaining 10 per cent will go as
soon as practicable.
Local boards have been directed to
disregard the order of liability num-
bers to some extent for the first call,
as men of experience such as cooks and
former soldiers are desired at this
time to pave the way for the recruits
to follow.

The Local Coal Situation.

The coal situation in Saratoga for the present
winter is a very serious one-so serious that it be-
hooves every family to consider thoughtfully and
seriously the situation.
At a meeting of citizens Tuesday evening at the
city hall the question was discussed from every an
gle, with the result that we, the undersigned, were
appointed a committee on finances, to secure funds,
if possible, to open a coal mine that would guarantee
the town and valley sufficient coal for local pur-
poses this winter.
We find that we cannot depend upon outside
mines for our winters coal supply. 1t is impossible
to get any of the companies to even agree to supply
the dealers with coal this winter; the best they will
do is to book your order. Even though the coal COM
panies would agree to supply the coal, we are up
against the proposition of transportation. The rail-
road companies are overcrowded with freight and
will not guarantee delivery. Added to that is the
uncertainty regarding snow blockades, coming as
we all know at a time when it is impossible to get
fuel from any other source except a local mine.
The local mines on the east side of the river are
in such condition that coal men tell us it would be i'm
possible to supply the local market from them. If
we cannot get the coal from the outside, nor from
the local mines now open, what are we going to do
for our winters coal supply? Are you willing to
sit back and say, "Oh, well l always have got coal;
l guess l can do so again this winter? Apply that
same argument to many other lines of commerce and
see where you will wind up.
HdhO up, LLCll dliu jim " odI dGOSd,d Hu SSG
busy. Let us open a coal mine that will guarantee
us an ample supply of coal, not only for this winter
but for many years to come. 1t can be done with
your assistance. The coal is here. 1t is simply a
question of raising sufficient money to buy the land,
put up the buildings, open the mines, install scales
and other necessary equipment. Something like
100000 has already been subscribed, but more is
needed. Step up, men, and show your colors. You
don't want to chop wood nor freeze this winter, so
get busy!
There will be a public meeting at the City Hall,
Monday Evening, September 10th, for the purpose
of seeing what can be done. Every man and woman
in Saratoga that is interested in this vital question
should be there.
This is not an alarmist song, but cold facts. Nor
have we any personal axe to grind-all we want is
to know that we are not going to FREEZE this
winter. r.
