FLY CONTROL IN
CREASES WHEAT YIELD

The low wheat yield in 1916 was
due mainly to hessian fly injury. The
damage from the insect was so great
in many counties that farmers in
some neighborhoods did not attempt
to harvest their wheat crops. This
was particularly true in south anC
south central Missouri where the av-
erage yield of twenty counties was
4.6 bushels, and for forty-two counties
the yield was 5.3 per acre.
Reports from these counties indi-
cate that the yield will be at least
three times as great this year. The
successful crop this year is result
of the cooperative effort on the part
of the farmers to control the fly last
fall. The effectiveness of their eff
forts is shown by the increased yield
and by the absence of fly in the fields.
If the fall and winter weather had
been favorable to the growth of
wheat last year the yield would have
been much better than it is. The av-
erage yield of the State in 1916 was
98 bushels per acre. Threshing re-
ports indicate that the yield will be
SIS bushels greater this year.

THEATRE FOR LEPERS

The Times has received a marked
copy of the Havana Post, which is the
only daily paper printed in English
that is published in Cuba. The "mark-
ed" article failed completely to inter-
est us, but we found other interesting
things in the Post, among which was
the following:
The plan for a theatre for the lep-
ers at the Rincon colony is a good
one, and it is to be hoped that it
will be carried into effect. The lep-
ers have a large fund which has
been left to them by many persons
to be applied to their benefit and
fair proportion certainly should be
applied to giving them amusemcnts.
Besides the theatre, in which the
lepers will be actors, we cannot see
why the management could not ar
range to have moving pictures for
them once or twice a week. A ma
chine should be bought and one of
the doctors or nurses taught to ope-
rate it. Then films could be rented
as other theatres rent them and the
entertainment thus provided would
be source of great happiness to the
patients, who, for no fault Of theirs,
are confined as if they were felons.

NJ. U. LAW STUDENTS
IN WAR SERVICE

More than 20 per cent of the stu
dents in law at the University of Mis-
souri, last year who did not finish their
courses are now in active war SER
vice, according to Dean Eldon James.
Of the thirteen who went to the First
Officers Training Camp at Fort Riley,
eleven received commissions and are
now officers of the national army.
Two are now at the second camp at
Fort Sheridan, two are members Of
the Missouri Guard forces now in
Federal service, one is in the marine
corps, one in the navy, another was
called in the draft and still another is
in the ambulance service in France.
"That makes eighteen out of the
seventy-eight students whom we might
have expected to return to school this
year in active SERVICE" Dean James
said. ~ doubt if any other law school
of the country can show as good a
record. Of course ] am sorry not to
have these men continue their work
here, but l am prouder of the fact
that the Law School of the University
of Missouri is furnishing such a large
percentage of its men to the service
of their country"

WATCH HEALTH OF PU-
Pills, DOCTOR URGES

The children are now in school for
another year of work. The thing be-
fore US is to see whether they are in
good physical condition in order to
get the greatest benefit from their
school work.
In certain school district in New
York State large number of chill
was found that over one-half of them
had defects of teeth, two-thirds had
enlarged tonsils or adenoids; one
third had enlarged glands; one-ffth
had some defect Of the eyes; one
tenth were pale, and had blood that
was not up to normal; twentieth
had skin diseases, and among other
ailments were crookedness of the
spine, mental defects and tuberculo-
sis. One-seventh of all the children
were either distinctly tuberculosis or
in condition bordering on tubercu-
losis.
People should learn to consult their
doctors, not only when they are sick,
but also at periodical intervals in or
der to detect the earliest symptoms
of disease. Many of the diseases
which are prevalent in the United
States, especially after middle life
like those of kidney, heart and blood
vessels-come on very gradually, and
without producing symptoms in the
early stages.
They can only be detected by pc
riodical examinations which should be
at least once year.-Dr. M. P. Raw
enel of the University of Missouri.

HALF STATES SOILS TESTED

One of the many activities of the
University of Missouri College of
Agriculture is soil experiments. The
college has conducted experiments in
soil management on thirty different
soil experiment fields representing
most of the important soil types in
Missouri. The results of these cou-
pied with the maps and soil analyses
available from the soil survey work
have made it possible to recommend
systems of soil management for more
than half the soil area of Missouri.
Bulletins covering much of this ex-
perimental work have been publihsed.
These are available for free distribu-
ton to farmers.

INCREASES WHEAT
YIELD TEN BUSHELS

S. o. Craig Of Cyrene, Mo-, bought
two bushels of pure Poole seed wheat
from the University of Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture two years ago.
He grew enough seed from the two
bushels to plant his crop last fall. The
pure seed, according to Mr.. Craig,
made yield of eighteen bushels per
acre when his homegrown variety
made only eight.
His experience with pure seed is
similar to that of Buchanan county
farmers. Fifty bushels Of Poole and
nine bushels of Fulcaster were dis
tributed in the county in 1913 through
F. w. Faurot who was County Agent
at that time. A recent canvass of the
county showed that $4,000 bushels of
Fulcaster and $4,000 bushels of Poole
had been listed in Buchanan county for
seed.

SELECT SEED CORN THIS FALL

The first step toward making a big
crop of corn next year must be taken
this fall. 1t must be taken in the
corn field by selecting an abundance
of good seed. OF all the things which
combine to make big corn crop a
good season, good soil and its proper
treatment, and good seed-the quail
ty of the seed is one of the most i'm
portant. And good seed is one of the
factors for making a big crop which
is entirely within the control of the
farmer. The season may or may not
be good; the natural condition of the
soil is in some degree dependent upon
the character of the season; the prop
er treatment of the soil both in pre-
paration and in later cultivation is
somewhat dependent upon the labor
supply; but good seed in abundance
can always be had. It is a home
grown product. Very often in the
spring farmers buy high priced seed
corn; but nearly always they could
have got just as good or even better
seed from their own fields in the fall,
had they been willing to spend a lit
tie time and pains in selecting it.
Sometimes seed corn is so scarce
in the spring that good seed is hard to
find, and the grower is forced to use
seed of inferior quality, which re-
veals itself in poor stand and lack
of thrift in the young crop. Unless
the proper steps are taken this fall,
a scarcity of good seed is more than
ever likely to occur next spring when
the acreage will doubtless be greatly
increased for the big war crop and
seed will be in great demand all over
the country. Consequently the de-
partment of farm crops of the Uni
versity of Missouri College of Agri-
culture suggests that it is vitality i'm
portant for farmers to save a large
supply of seed this fall-enough for
all possible needs. Perhaps no other
work, except that of seeding wheat,
will pay so we'll for the time spent as
the selection Of good seed corn from
the field.
Experiments have repeatedly shown
that homegrown seed usually is bet
ter than seed brought into the locali-
ty from another latitude. 1t has also
been shown by experiments and borne
out by practical experience that seed
selected from the field, if properly
dried and stored, always is better than
that selected from the crib. The OPP
portunity for good selection is greater
in the field. The person who gathers
the seed can then compare the indi-
