airy, 1917. The total number of cleo
toral college votes which women may

Equal Suffrage Territory Over 30
Per Cent of u. s.

To recapitulate, the suffrage
cause has this year annexed $685.
314 square miles. Up to the end
of 1915 suffrage extended terri
torially over 1,205,3 800 square
miles, or 1890 of continental Unit
ed States, not counting Alaska.
On April % the suffrage flag
floated over 1,543,64 square
miles, or 5000.
Including Alaska, where wom-
en- have suffrage on the same
terms as men, 2,134,527 square
miles, oil 81 per cent. of the total
possessions of the United States,
except the newly acquired Virgin
Islands, are now under the ban

which still prevails in the other
40 per cent. of the United States.

CULTIVATION PAYS AND IS PAT
RIOTIC

Careful cultivation means more corn
and more corn this var means more
profits to degree that is net usually
the case, for this is year Of high
prices which are sure i continue
Besides to cultivate is to be patriotic
Cultivation, says A. C. Army, Univer-
sity Farm, st. Paul, kills weeds, puts;
the soil into condition to stimulate
growth, and keeps the moisture in the
ground where the plants can use it.. ;.
With the seed bed firm below, mellow
,at the surface, and free from weeds,
shallow early cultivation will Kill the
weed as they start, prevent the forma-
tion Of soil crust, and retain the
moisture. For this cultivation a narrow
shoveled cultivator or light harrow,
the teeth Of which are adjusted to slant
backward is best. The cultivator is the
better of the two if there are small
loose sods or other material that may
prevent the corn plants from reaching
the surface. Narrowing should be done
on a bright afternoon when the plants
are slightly wilted and not easily bro
ken.
If the seed bed has not been thorough
~ prepared, or if heavy rains have,
packed the seed bed after planting, me-
dunn deep cultivation, either before
| the corn is up or as soon as the rows
can be seen, followed by deep and close
cultivation each way by the time the
corn is from four to six inches high,
is good practice.

BEES READY TO HELP IN FOOD
PRODUCTION " :,

Armies Of industrious and busy bees
are ready to help solve the food short
age problem under proper direction.
Persons who have no land and are
anxious to help increase the food supply
might keep bees, says Francis jaeger,
head of the division Of bee culture at
University Farm. Mr.. JAEGER believes
that last years production of 100000
900 pounds of honey should be increas-
ed at least 100,000,OOO pounds this
year, and that every pound of honey
Twill release pound Of butter or Of
sugar for other food purposes. This
is mentioned as the present supply of
sugar in the United States is 10 per
cent below the average and the short
age may become acute by July or
August.
Mr.. jaeger urges that bee keepers
should sci, no honey until they have
received official government quotations.
Reports will be published in all bee pa
pers and also wired to the secretary
Of every beekeepers' association on
application.

HOW TO KEEP YOUR WINDSHIELD

side, cit is very essential that the
windshield should be kept clean. There
are several devices upon the market
with rubber surface which can be
slipped along" the windshield and will
remove the water or snow.
"There are preparations that can be
obtained at all accessory stores which
can be applied to the windshield and
prevent the water or snow from stick
ing to the glass. A little kink that is
interesting to know was shown me by
q taxi driver. It is to rub the finger
from the top Of the windshield glass to
the bottom in the way a windown
cleaner is used on store windows. It
will be necessary to pull the finger
downward good many times and to
make the clean surfaces join. This
makes a very effective water resist
ant. I used it recently in dense fog
and it helped greatly"
