County Agent Kjosness is directing
his energies toward getting the beans
and peas threshed that have been
grown by demonstrators for the farm
bureau. Threshing machines have to
be slowed down to handle peas and
beans and require special screens. In
order to make a comparison between
these crops and grain it is necessary
to ascertain the yields. Market prices,
then, will determine the relative merits
Of the two.

states that on Sunday evening at six

Persons Who Boost the Sale Of TrinI<-
cts Made Of 1t Branded
as Slacteers.

One of the most dangerous slackers
of the near-traitor variety iEthe jew
eler who is boosting the sale of plati-
mum jewelry and the jewelry houses
that encourages the buying of plati-
mum jewelry is Intentionally or unin-
tentionally a Stacker of much that
stripe. says DIR. F. B. Dams, professor
of chemistry at the University of Kan
sas, in a plea to patriotic jewelers. and
citizens not to encourage the buying
of platinum jewelry.
platinum is absolutely an indis-
pensable war material" said Doctor
Dams. land if it is to be diverted
wholesale to luxurious use, as in jew
elry, the American government will
be handicapped greatly in it's war
work. Platinum is necessary in the
preparation of various munitions. Sui
phuric acid, used in manufacturing
high explosives, is purified by pro-
cess that requires the use of plati-
mum. Electrical devices and many of
the very vital and necessary instru-
ments used in our torpedo boats and
war ships all use platinum in some
part of their make up.
Through the patriotic stand of
many jewellers last spring the sale of
pIatlnum JeW6lry was greatly reduced.
But recently 1 have noticed some big
jewelers. of the middle west apparent
1y cannot resist Christmas profits and
they again are boosting the sale of
platinum ornaments. This is true, too,
in the east, 1 am advised by chemists
in New York, and unless it is stopped
at once by the loyal women of Amer
lea this country will have to follow
the example of England and take over
all domestic supplies of platinum.
The Russian collapse makes the p1ati-
mum situation in this country all the
more serious, since Russia was a
source of much of our platinum.
1.-THE loyal women of the country
can stop the sale of platinum jewelry
very effectively. They should do it,
too. Military necessity demands it.
They should refuse to wear or even
accept jewelry with platinum in it or
to wear engagement rings with plati-
mum mountings."

WHEAT GETTING POOR START
Dry Weather in Many States Causes
Low Condition, But the Acre
age is Larger.

Washington, Dec. 20.-Winter wheat
area sown for the 1918 crop is 42,17O,-
600 acres, 1,636 900 acres more than a
year ago, an increase of per cent,
and 1857, 900 acres more than the
area harvested in 1916, the Depart
ment of Agriculture announced today.
The condition of the crop December
1 was 1913, the lowest ever reported
at this time of year, compared with
S5.7 year ago and a 10-year Deem
Der average of 1913.
The low condition of the fields is
due to dry weather after seeding on a
large area.
The forecast of the probable crop of
winter wheat, based on present condi-
tions with nominal impairment be-
tween now and harvest, is $40 million
bushels, 122 million more than the
harvest of 1916.
If conditions are no worse at har-
vest, next summer, than at present the
crop may be $50 million bushels.
