and get the soil in a mellow condition.
Winter wheat should be seeded with
a grain drill, as the seed is thus more
evenly distributed over the land and
placed 10 the soil at a uniform depth.
The depth Of seeding depends to a
large extent on the moisture supply.
Where moisture is plentiful, 1 to l liz
inch deep is sufficient; but under dry
farm inP this will have to be increas-
cd. as to have the seed come in on
tact with the moist SOL. In such
cases four or five inches IS not too
deep. = Seventy-five to eigbty-3ive
pounds of good, clean seed per acre
Il ~s.ficient in irrigated districts.
while thirty-ive to forty-five pounds
is usually enough under dry farming.
"The date of seeding depends on
several factors, and no general rule
can be given. Early seeding is us
ually best; especially is this true IL
the wheat is to be pastured. At the
higher elevations earlier seeding is
REQUIRED than in the lower irrigated
valleys. Winter wheat can usually
be sown as late as October / in the
higher attitudes, and up to December
in the lower attitudes.
Turkey Red is probably the most
popular variety Of winter wheat in
this state and yields quite well in
most sections. Good yields have teen
secured at the New Mexico Agricui-
tGral Experiment station with fall
sown Early Burt wheat. Sonora is
a variety that is most commonly
sown in the spring. II is usually
classified as a spring wheat, but
yields of about forty bushels per acre
have been secured at the experiment
station when this variety was seeded
in the fall. 1t is one of the earliest
wheat that has even been grown in
the lower attitudes of this state. The
seed should be treated for smut be-
for planting, in order to lessen the
danger of serious injury to the crop
from this disease. The seed should
be thoroughly wet with a solution
made up of l pint of 40 per cent for
maldehyle and 40 gallons Of water.
The simplest way of wetting the seed
is to put about half a bushel of seed
in a gunny sack and immerse this in
the formalin solution, allowing it to
stand for ten to fifteen minutes. Then
drain off the water and spread out to
dry. Care should be exercised to dis
infect the grain drill and sacks thor
oughly, in order to avoid contamina-
ton from this source.

A BLOW AT PROHIBITION
BOSS POLITICS.
(New York World, Aug. 14.)

(New York World, Aug. 14.)
Prohibition was less the issue in
last weeks Democratic primaries in
Virginia than prohibition politics.
WestmOreland Davis, a prosperous
farmer, ran for the gubernatOrial
domination on a platform of com
mon sense" in dealing with the drink
ssue as opposed to a policy of fan
iticism which had gained ascendancy
n the state under the leadership of
the Rev. James Cannon at the head
If the Anti-SalOOn league. He re-
ceived nearly as many votes as his
.wO chief opponents put together, and
1t the same time he rode down the OPP
position Of both United States Sena-
tors, all the Representatives in Con-
gress save one and most of the other
dominating politicians.
This event is of national signifi-
canoe in relation to Nationwide pro-
hibitiOn.
Precisely what Virginia wants in
the way of drink control or drink sup
preston may not be known Over any
great length of time even to Vir-
ginians. But they did not want saloon
bOssim in politics and proceeded to
NAhAlP u OhN- AANF aAE hOW SURF NtuN
hey do not want in their politics an
%lnti-salOOn bOssism equally narrow
and dictatOrial, and they have given
hat kind of boss politics a Keeling
blow.
What Virginia has turned against is
what the United States Senate has
Just knuckled to, and there is a les
son both to the i~ntimidated Senate and
"a NJ D--H III
Saloon league. Some other prohibit
lion states may soon be heard from
in the same unmistakable manner.
Fanatical and dOmineering anti-salOOn
politics is no more to be tolerated
,han demOralizing and %cOrrupting sa-
loon politics. The sooner this comes
% be realized in and out of Congress
the Ooner will prohibition end as a
nationwide issue and find its best and
only practical expression within the
states

BEER AND WINE
NAY ESCAPE BAN

Washington, D. CA determined
effort to modify the food bill now
before the senate so that it will be
free from any prohibition provisions,
or at least so as to grant the president
authority to permit the use of food
stuffs in the manufacture Of beer and
light wines, was begun by the admin
~istration when President Wilson con-
ferred on the question with Senator
Martin, the majority leader, and Sena-
tor Gerry.
President Wilson, according to Sem
ator Phelan of California, with whom
he conferred regarding prohibition
legislation, desires that he have au-
thority to stop the manufacture Of
malt and vinous liquors in case of
emergency, but does not believe imme-
date prohibition of their manufacture
is necessary or desirable.
Administration leaders were said
also to feel that such legislation would
be a disturbing factor in the economic
life of the country and might lead to
serious discomfort among the workers,
whose whole hearted support is neces-
sary to win the war.
