OUR ELECTION TODAY,

Apropos of the Above.

Soldiers have to do their own
mending, when it is done at all, and
it appears that they are supplied with
outfits for that purpose. Otherwise,
this joke would be impossible. Every

the recruits stood lined up ready for

No longer swat the prospective val
liable breeding males among our
dairy and swine herds, sheep and
goat flocks when a year of their
service is ended. That would be eco
nomical folly. The get of a breeding
sire soon proves his worth and many
a proved sire has doubled and quad
rupled his selling value by the uni
formly high excellence of his progeny.
So do not be carried away with the
"swat the rooster" propaganda. When
you are so fortunate as to have a
cockerel with known blue blooded,
trapnested ancestry, withhold the
swat until his pulIets prove his right
to live or doom him to die. A good
breeding male in poultry stock handl-
ed correctly should live to serve for

FRUIT and FARm

costs have greatly increased since the
beginning of the European war all
must admit.
In round numbers the cost of an
acre of wheat averaging Is bushels is
now $40, with the chances for still
greater cost in 1918.
Here are the figures showing acre
cost of wheat in a leading winter
wheat state: Man labor 1913 hours
lat Is cents an hour, $1.92; horse la
Dor for 27.3 hours at liz cents an
hour, $S.14; interest at per cent on
SIS land, $4.50 taxes 25 cents; up
keep, 30 cents; seed Il " bushels) at
$2.25, 1897; use of machinery, 80
cents; IL pounds of twine at II
cents, 26 cents; threshing-machine
hire at cents, rs cents; coal, Is
cents; marketing. 80 cents; fertilizer,
$4 Total, $2O.24.
That these figures are conservative
appears upon the closest and most
critical study. For instance, the first
item, that of man labor, is certainly
within reason. We very much doubt
if farm labor can be had at Is cents
an hour. The same conservatism ap-
plies throughout, whether the item
be cost of twine, threshing bill, or
taxes on land. Some may question
the wisdom of figuring in fertilizer
cost, as not all farmers use CONNER
cial fertilizers for wheat. This is
quite true, but all wheat takes plant
food from the soil.
A 15-bushel crop of wheat re-
moves, in the grain alone, 17.5
pounds of nitrogen, 2.25 pounds of
phosphorus, and pounds Of potas-
SUM. But these ingredients In the
form of commercial fertilizer and see
how much you will have left out OF
81.
So with a 15-bushel crop next year,
and with price of 50 a bushel, the
wheat grower may realize 1918 an
acre more than his wheat cost him
provided he has no bad luck. On q
4O-acre crop this is $500, This is
less than the price of good team
Surely 1t is not too much when we
remember that the wheat grower
takes his chances against hail ant

AlSra's Inspiration

That Ashlands Red Cross is not
the only one whose patience has been
tried by the delay in the wool ship
ment is proved by the following true
story about the Akra Red Cross Of
Akra, N. D. There they had appeal
ed to headquarters and made shop
ping expeditions to nearby towns all
in vain, no wool could be obtained
for knitting. Then the Akra chapter
held a council of war. If no yarn
was to be purchased, there was only
one alternative-they must make it.
A committee consisting Of every men,
Der of the chapter was appointed to
visit every sheep herder within rid
ing or walking distance and beg him
to shear sheep or two for the Amer
lean Red Cross. Within a week a
large amount or raw wool had been
assembled at the Akra Red Cross
station. Then the Akra Red Cross
went into executive session, carding,
weaving and spinning black and white
wool into just the right shade Of
"army gray" yarn. The socks made
from this homemade yarn look ex-
actly like the thousands Of other
knitted socks that daily receive the

A. R. c. But they are different, SO
different that one wonders If the
Sammy to whose lot they fall, will
ever dream of the ingenuity and
patient scheming that went to the
making of his foot gear.
The high school girls of Ashland
are to assist our local Red Cross in
making hospital supplies. 1t has
been arranged that they shall do this
work under the direction of the do
mestic arts department of the school,
the junior high having been assigned
"nightingales," bed socks and towels
as their share; and the high school
proper, the making Of hospital bed
shirts. Mrs. Fred Engle has been ap-
pointed supervisor of this branch OF
our local Red Cross activities, her re-
cent connection and wide acquaint-
ance with school work making her
seem the logical choice for this posi-
tion. She will have charge of pre-
pairing these articles intended for the
schools, cutting them out at head
quarters and distributing them to the
domestic arts department, with which
she will cooperate in seeing that the
work is done in accordance with the
instructions issued by the National
Red Cross.

Cover the Naked Soil

The outermost soil layer Of Mother
Earth has a close similarity to the
skin which protects the human body.
This soil covering of productive, well
conditioned land is injured by an
overplus of stagnant water, excess
sive dryness, the baking and harden
ing effects of summers heat, and the
heaving and teaching accompanying
winters frosts. The skilled farm op-
orator tile drains to take care of sur
plus water and thereby also secures
fuller use Of the subsoil moisture re-
naming and the fertility 1t carries In
solution. Further, the far-seeing
farmer protects his soil surface from
the injurious baking effect Of sum-
mer heat by means Of an insulating
surface soil stratum of material rich
in vegetable substance like decaying
plant roots, stubble, stable manure,
and green manure crops. For the
freezing, heaving, blowing and sur
face-w washing of winter, he provides
a fall growing cover crop to protect
his land from winters harsh usage.
This growing cover, when partly kill
ed, blankets the surface and effec-
lively prevents a wastage Of the pre-
cious plant food which still is held
in the living root tissues of the cover
crop ready to be given up to the
early needs of the spring sown crop.

Buying Young Livestock Right

Buying iOung blVestOck hlSnU
Successful livestock feeders say
that one of the most important things
is to get the young stock bought
right. Sometimes a man is a good
feeder but poor trader, or 1t may
be that he cannot be deceived in his
Judgment of livestock out in the open
but will fail to see all the angles
when trading at the stoclyards. In
such cases 1t is safer to let commits
sion buyer do the buying. II this
commission man is what he ought to
be he is familiar with the way many
of his purchases turn out, which
makes his judgment worth some
thing. In May this year there was
a great demand at Kansas City for
Angora goats to put on brushy land
to clear II up. Only a few goats
we're coming to market. dry weather
in Texas having made the season a
month late. The first goats to reach
the market sold at higher prices than
had ever been imagined before in
connection with goats, good Angoras
for browsing purposes selling at
S10.50 to s11.25 hundred pounds.
These prices started the goats to
moving to market more freely and
prices went down fast the last week
in May. Within two days the price
was 50 to SO hundred pounds. At
that stage of the market man who
had some brushy land to be cleared
went to the stockyards to buy 100
goats. He bought them on the sec
ond day Of the break in prices, when
they were selling at 50 to $40, and
he paid SO for his goats. He bought
from a dealer and got what he saw
In the pen but instead of getting
100 good young goats he got 65 goats
of that kind and 35 stag goats The
65 goats had cost the dealer $11.25
few days previously but the 35 he
had bought that same morning at
81 hundred. All the goats had
horns and looked alike except that
the horns OF the stays were larger
and longer. Thus the buyer lost al
most the entire advantage he should
have gained by the decline in prices.
