because the price has been such that have not been developed; there hes been a shortage of machinery and because the price has been ouch that cotton as a cash crop has been much superior. With present prices farm CTS can we'll afford to plant some wheat and oats. Where they have not been grown before perhaps . planting sufficiently large to supply the needs of the family and the livo- stock will be enough. Where they have already been grown to limited extent and where they have been used with some degree of success Es cash crop the acreage can we'll be increased. A few acres of these crops planted early this fall will make splendid pasture during the winter and spring.
 Lands for these crops should be broken after the corn and cotton are laid by and before harvesting of these crops begins. If cultivation is kept up in good shape the wheat and oats may be sown in the cotton mid dies with little additional preparation Too often farmers wait until seeding time, then broadcast the wheat or oats on the surface and break them in with stirring blow, and freezing out in the winter often results. In all cases the soil should be prepared in good shape, leveled off and the fha zaod ia sown. The covering may then be done with a harrow if a drill is not available. Small grain crops some times are disappointing because they have been sown in the poorest soil on the farm. Use good soil. The last two weeks in October is about the right time to SOW in the south ern part of the state. Seeding in the northern half of the state should be a few days earlier. Early seeding will prevent wintr ekilling to large extent and will produce more pasture.
 Winter turf oats will far out-yield Spring oats if put in properly. 1T Winter Turf seed cannot be secured the Red Rust Proof varieties will give splendid results in the south half of the state.
 Eevry farm should have at least five acres of wheat and oats and in sections where they have been grown with some degree of success the acreage should be much more.

 HEAVY DEMANDS ON RAILROADS
 Railroads east of the Mississippi river have already taken off a large number of passenger trains. These eastern roads have taken the lead in this movement due to the fact that they have to the present time been more closely affected by the opera tions of the Government in preparing for the war, and the time has arrived when the Western roads are called upon to do their share in furnishing their quota of power and equipment men and fuel.
 The Missouri Pacific railroad is perhaps placed in a more difficult position than any other road in the Western group, for the reason that there are located on and adacent to ing and mobilization camps than on any other railroad in this territory.
 These camps, which are located at Jefferson Barracks, Nevada, Fort Riley, Ft. Leavenworth, Little Rock. Alexandria, Waco, Ft. Worth and Tt. Sam Houston at San Antonio will re- suit in a stupendous movement of troops and other equipment
 The time has now come when every one of us should make personal sacrifices and suffer some incovenien- ces but this cannot be compared to the sacrifices of the men who offer their lives at the nont. so let's get accustomed to the curtailment in pas- senger accommodations for by so do- ing we are doing our bit, as this was suggested by the United States Gov ernment and was not selfish desire on the part or the railroads.

C0RNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You simply say to the drug store
man Give me a quarter of an ounce
of freezone." This will cost very
little but is sufficient to remove
every hard or soft corn from ones
feet.
A few drops of this new ether
compound applied directly upon a
tender, aching corn should relieve
the soreness instantly, and soon the
entire corn, root and all, dries up
and can be lifted out with the fingers
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that, while freezone
is sticky, it dries in a moment, and
simply shrivels up the corn without
inflaming or even irritating the sur.
rounding tissue or skin.

proposal TO meet the rising prices of
crude oil and gasoline announced in
Chicago by the head of the bureau
and head OF the chemistry department
of the University of British Columbia
The discovery has been made that a
French method can be adapted to
Canadian requirements and that about
j3 proof gallons of ethyl alcohol can
be produced per ton of wood waste
With 500,000,000 acres Of timber in
the Dominion the available motor
fuel made from wood would be mex
haustible and will hold down the
price of gasoline. Arthur d. Little,
head OF the research bureau for the
Canadian Pacific Railway said The
only fuel in sight in quantities to take
the place of or to hold down the price
of gasoline is alcohol" He has said
that in the yellow pine region of the
United States there is wasted daily
enough material to make 100000 gal
Ions of alcohol The promise that the
alcohol will be made and piped to
points of distribution and to tank
steamers came from DR.. r. II. Clark
of the University of British Columbia
who added at is estimated that the
present mill waste of Canada and the
United States would produce alcohol,
equal to at least 40 per cent. of the
present gasoline consumption. Alec.
hol has certain advantages over gaso-
line. 1t is clean, less dangerous, has
10 per cent greater efficiency per
gallon. while on the other hand it is
slower in starting owing to the fact
that it does not vaporize so rapidly
as gasoline.
