HOW TO GROW MORE WHEAT

The surest way to get the big wheat crop is to increase the yield
per acre. How an this be done? %&"
Grade the best wheat you have to the plumpest, heaviest form

Eff you have plenty Of plowed land put the wheat on the fields
which did not have wheat on Tasty year: Use the newest best land Tor
the wheat. Put your corn, potatoes, beans, peas. flax, oats. OF other
crops n the old wheat lands.
3-Prepare the ground for the seed carefully. Use fall plowed
lands, summer fallowed lands, o. any lands which you had cultivated
crops o last year. Disk, harrow and pack thoroughly before seeding.
The packer cannot be well on any lands which r improperly
drained or wet, but should be used after the disk on all nelds whicn
r. sufficiently dry o be properly seeded.
4-Treat all seed with formaldehyde before sowing. Use one full
pint of the LIQUID to each 40 gallons Of water. Wet the grain in any
manner most convenient Use solution enough to get each grain evenly.
Shovel and rake the grain over until nearly dry. Then low at once.
Sow the wheat Is early a possible.
eff your land lie low, heavy, and liable to be wet, pillow burrows
through al. the low places 81 that the surface water which rails
at once run off into the road bitches
Set the drill 81 it will not seed too thickly. Try it after 1t is
set by running ver q smooth piece # bare hard ground, Count the n
grains which fall behind the shoes o n disks. There should be about 81
o 40 grains per yard, that is about n grain per inch Of drill row:
drill before the wheat comes up.
9-As soon q 8 the grain is up to about the second Or third leaf
run a light harrow over it.
1O-If YOU must use old wheat lands to SOW your wheat on, no
matter how we'll that land is plowed. disk, harrow and pack thor

TRADING IN
FUTURES OF WHEAT

Chicago, April 23.-Restrictions Of
wheat trading to the smallest volume
in weeks was accompanied today by
a decided lowering Of prices. but
there was something Of a rally after
ward, owing to a notable falling of
in the United States visible supply to-
tai. The market closed unsettled at
s2.a2 to 1892 Ia May. and $1.ss "a
to $l.98 Ia. July, with the finish as
q whole ranging from 1 1-Sc decline
to l lac advance. as compared with
Saturdays latest figures. Corr closed
3-8 to l Ia down, and oats of 8-S
to 7-S.
Provisions. the outcome varied
from 2 1-2c loss to a rise Of tic.
Scarcity Of buying orders was
chiefly attributed to the fact that
urgent domestic household demand
for flour was said to have. f1attened
out, n that European call o wheat
was likely to be directed In the main
at present to the Canadian stock, ow-
ing to the fact that grain carriers had
already begun to move on the Great
Lakes.
Corn, like wheat, sagged from lack
OF aggressive demand. Oats had no
Independent action. Trade was light.
Heaviness of the hog and grain
market weakened provisions, but an
active buying movement as to lard led
after to a moderate general upturn.

Thousands Have Discovered DIR.
Edwards Olive Tablets are.
a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the SUBJ
stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no bad
after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it; Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.

tai receiving every mark Of honor ana
courtesy within the gift Of the gov
eminent.
Foreign Secretary Arthur James

tary Lansing to President Wilson IN
fhe morning. was the guest of honor

given at the White House in a genera
ton.
During the day he was presented to

Commission Surprised.
The conference SO far, with the en-
thusiasm that the people of the CAPT.
tai have shown and the courtesies and
cordialities extended by the officials,
have taken the British commission
completely by surprise. Mr.. Balfour,
after three-quarters Of an hours con
versation with President Wilson. re-
marked enthusiastically that his trip
had been justified by that meeting
alone.
All during the day members of the
commission exclaimed over the
warmth of the welcome. AS If to make
1t more perfect, Washington just at
this time is poisoning into the full
richness Of its spring dress. The pre-
liminary conferences on all hands
were stated to have laid an excellent
standing for the detailed conferences
to follow.
President Wilson and Mr.. Balfour
are known to have touched on the
broad phases of the situation in such
a way as to give each an insight into
the others personality and viewpoint,
and to have established an atmos-
phere of confidence and concord be-
tween them.
The British commission announced
that its purpose in coming to this
country was n of cooperation, SER
vice and gratitude. and that from
now on, the direction Of the confer
ence would rest largely with the Am
erican government. At the same time,
American officials convinced the Brit
ish by the warmth and cordially of
their reception that this country APP
preciates England's courtesy in send
ing such distinguished spokesmen and
is fully dedicated to every possible eff
fort against the common foe.

pied by Mr.. Balfour's immediate par

The British cabinet officer began
the day with a trip to the state de-
partment, which, because of his long

with American statesmen, he had al
ways been eager to see. Ambassador

companied him to the door Of Secre-

courtesy call because Of their former
acquaintance in England. After that

he did yesterday in Rock Creek
Park.
Dinner Simple.
The White House dinner was a very
! simple affair and there were no toasts
nor speeches. 1t was served in the
state dining room, and the only table
decorations were spring flowers.
There was no music. The only wom-
en- present were Mrs. Wilson and Miss
Helen Woodrow Bones, the presidents
cousin.

GRAIN LETTER

Chicago, Ill, April 24.-sentiment
underwent a radical change today and
bearish news of important character
failed to have much effect. Scarcity of
offerings was evident throughout most
of the session while there was q
steady demand from shorts and 10
calls. The weather map and south
western reports showed favorable
conditions for the growing crop while
spring wheat advices indicated a sub
stantial acreage increases. Argentine
government has agreed to let the
Allies have over seven million bushels
of wheat. Cash situation continues
strong and even substantial bulges in
prices fail to bring out enough pres
sure to cause more than temporary
setbacks.
