Special Methods to Increase Yields of
Wheat and Rye.

Specialists of the Department OF
Agriculture and the State Agricultur-
al Colleges hope that by better meth
DDS the average yield per acre will
be at least maintained whereevS
there is fertilizer shortage and will
be increased in other sections. Much
educational work will be done to
make this desire an actually, and in
this capaign the most successful
growers viii have a prominent part.
For instance, it is stated that on the
land that could be sOwn to fall wheat
this autumn, it is possible materially
to increase the yield per acre by put
ting into practice some principles
that are already we'll known to most
farmers. These should appeal es-
pecially to those who cannot increase
their usual acreages without doing
injustice to other crops which should
be grown.
These principles may be summed
up as follows:
Pillow early. Give the plowed
land two months to settle before SOW
ing where possible.
Compact the late-plowed land
with roller and harrow.
3-Don't pillow after a cultivated
crop, Prepare such land with disk
and harrow. ~ssls ~ '-'''.-.'
4-Make the seed bed fit place
for the seed.
Sow with drill, sound, plump
clean seed OF adapted variety.
G-Prevent losses from smut by
treating infected seed with formalde-
hyde.
Make the soil fertile with ma
nure or fertilizers applied jud"iously
where needed.
S-Reduce winter killing by fol-
lowing the above suggestions.

when Judge II. w Slack entered
Judgment dismissing the plaintiffs
petition for divorce on the ground of
Z desertion and granting an absolute
divorce to the defendant on the
ground of cruel and inhuman treat
ment. The court withheld its de-
cision as to the amount of alimony
that will be allowed Mrs. Axton until
next Thursday.
Attorneys for Mr.. Axton asked that
the court render its decision at once,
which was not granted.
Judge Slack in announcing the de-
cision stated that the plaintiffs and
defendants testimony were directly
contradictory and that outside evil
dence would have to be considered
before he could arrive at a decision
as to the amount to which Mrs. Az
on was entitled.
Burton Vance, of Louisville, made
the final argument in the case, rep
resenting Mr.. Axton. He talked six
hours and thirtyfive minutes.
The case has been a very important
one and has occupied a great deal Of
the time OF the court and for that
reason many were not surprised when
a decision was given by Judge Slack
Immediately following the trial.
Neither the plaintiff nor the de-
PENDANT were present when the decis-
ion was announced. Mrs. Axton is
the daughter of George w. jolly, a
lawyer, of t1is city, and Mr.. Axton is
widely-known tobacco dealer OF
Louisville.
