INCREASING The YIELD OF WHEAT

The best time to SOW wheat in Della
ware will vary from the lst to the 18th
of October. On account of the Hessian
fly, seeding should not be made ordinar-
( lily before the lst of October. The time
of seeding will vary somewhat with the
character of the soil. Fertile soil, we'll
prepared may be seeded later than poor
soil badly fitted. In any case wheat should
be sown early enough to allow the plants
to become well established before winter.
Winter killing and heaving out are great
" lessened by a strong growth of the
plants. Many of the poor Yields in this
State in 1917 were due directly to late
seeding. Experiments at the Delaware
Station on the time of seeding show that
as good Yields were secured by seeding
October 22nd on well fertilized land as by
seeding October lst on soil not fertilized.
The quantity of seed per acre for best
results will depend upon a number of
conditions. such as the fertility of the
soil, the condition of the seed bed as to
tilth and moisture, aud the size and guam
tity of the seed used. On well prepared.
fertile soil with medium sized seed of
good quality six pecks per acre are suffi-
cient. On thin land or with late seeding
seven to eight pecks have been found de-
sirable. Experiments at this Station in
dicate that the bearded varieties tiller, or
"stool" somewhat more freely than the
smooth sorts. Many of the bearded sorts
will make good yield if sown at the
rate Of or 4 pecks per acre. providing
the soil is rich and the seeding made at
the proper time. The grower should
take into account the size of the kernels
as some varieties produce kernels one
half again as large as others. The rate
of seeding should be adjusted to the size
of the kernels.

SECRETARY HOUSTON
 RAISES GRAZING FEES

An increase of 25 per cent in the grazing fees on all National Forests, instead of 33B per cent as was origin ally contemplated, will be made for the season of 1917, according to the plan announced by Secretary Houston Feb. 1st. Subsequent increases will be based on a study of the local con- ditions on the individual Forests and will vary in accordance with the facts thus obtained.
 "The timber, grazing, water and other resources of the National For ests which are used for commercial purposes should be charged for at a rate which represent their fair value," said Secreatry Houston. "If charge only sufficient to cover the cost of ad- ministration were made, all of the profit from the commercial use of the National Forests would go to a com paratively few individuals instead of to all the people to whom they belong and who are entitled to share their benefits. The charge for grazing should be based upon the real value of the forage on the National Forest ranges, as determined by careful survey of all the facts and not by competitive bids, as required in tim Der sales.
 "Whether or not the timber fees charged at present represent a fair value of the forage is the question to be decided. The facts before me clearly indicate the present charge does not represent the full value of grazing privileges on the National Forests"
 Modification of the original plan was decided upon, the Secretary said, because of the possibility of varia- tion in the real value of grazing on different forests or in different locali- ties, and because in a few instances the full proposed increase might not be justified. A specific study, he stated, will be made of the existing conditions upon each of the National Forests. Upon the basis of the facts thus obtained, additional increases will be made when the real value of the forage upon any forest is found to be more than the amount charged. No additional increase will be made before March 1, 1918.

LOCO A PROBLEM
 ON UPPER VERDE

Efforts are being made by J. K. Campbell, brother of Governor Tom Campbell, and other cattlemen of the upper Verde valley, to have the Unit ed States department of agriculture undertake the eradication of the loco weed.
 The loco weed is taking the upper Verde, which was one of the best stock ranges in the state few years ago. It is a hardy perennial which is green and luxuriant when other range plants are dead. Stock find it appe- tizing fodder, but after COW or horse feeds on loco weed few days they go crazy, lose weight and, unless placed where they cannot eat it, eventually die.
 There is so much loco weed on the upper Vede that Campbell, who is superintendent of the Del io Cattle company, is now feeding 120 head of catle inside. The situation is sure to be even more serious in early spring, when loco will be the only green range feed.
 Various efforts have been made by the forest service and agricultural department to stamp out the loco weed in different ranges. An attempt was made to root up and destroy all the loco in the Apache national for est, but it soon became apparent that the task was hopeless. Attempts have been made to find parasites which will feed on the loco weed but all the ef- fective parasites so far discovered also destroyed other range plants as well.-Jerome News.

HUNT PARO0NS SIX
 MUROERERS BEFORE HE
 QUITS GOVERNORS OFFICE

Of large interest is discovery just
 made in the office of the governor that
 Governor Hunt in the last days of his administration issued pardons to six convicted murderers; this, of course, with the assent of the State Pardon board, which includes the attorney general, superintendent of public in struction and citizen member, c. w. Miller of Tempe. No publicity was given at the time to these examples of executive clemency. Particularly of public interest was the pardon of Robert Stewart, who was received at the penetentiary April 2, 1909, under a 25-year sentence. He was paroled by Hunt December 12, 1914, went back to the prison for time for dis orderly conduct, but received his full quittance December 6, 1916. Stewart was convicted of the ambush and murder of A. J. Daggs and another man at Superior, the crime being one of unusual atrocity, based upon a quarrel over possession of mining claims. Latterly it is told that Stew art has settled again in the Superior district, in a cabin on one of the Daggs claims, from which he refuses to be ejected by the son of the man he killed. -..
 La Porte Pardoned ....
 The others pardoned were: Jose Silvas, convicted of first degree mur- der, sentenced to imprisonment for life, entered penitentiary May 27, 1908, paroled December ', 1916. Rob- ert Renter, second degree murder, 10 years to life, entered July 16, 1915, pardoned December 30, 1916. Frank Moore, second degree murder, 10 years to life, entered July IT, 1915, accepted as an honor man November 80, 1915, pardoned December 30, 1916. Pedro Martinez, second degree murder, life, entered October 5, 1916, pardoned December 30, 1916, Stephen La Porte, second degree murder, 10 to 50 years, entered December 1, 1913, pardoned December 30, 191S,. Renter and Moore were Pima county deputy sheriffs, convicted of torturing and killing two Mexicans at Greaterville, prisoners suspected of horsestealing.

Headed for the Farms.
(Charlotte Observer.)

Judge j. d. Murphy, Of Asheville,
Is celebrating on the idea Of the
school boy for the farm, and in hn
article contributed to The Citizen
suggests that camps for the boys be
erected In three or four sections Of
the county, to which the unemployed
young men and boys Of the city might
go and offer their services to the far
mers at reasonable wages to assist in
raising the crops. He believes that
out OF this arrangement would grow
these results: All young men and
boys. instead OF loaflng on the streets,
would be serving their country; there
would be acquisition of practical
knowledge by these workers rs we'll
as Improvement In habits; the boys
would gain knowledge OF camp life.
The Greenville News claims that this
plan was advocated by John J. Nc
Swain, Of that city, long before the
European war broke out, In an ad-
dress before the local alumni of the
University Of South Carolina. But it
makes no difference as to who should
have credit. The Idea Is what might
be called "unit" in the development
Of plans for the employment of the
school boys on the farm. The coun-
try will be forced to that resort as
one Of the most practical ways OF re-
ltevlng the laboi situation, and no
contribution to the general subject
will go amiss. From all the signs
of the times, the school boy Of 1917
Is headed for the farms.

they do Of their horses, although
horses have feelings; they are sensi-

whether there is hell or not, burt
we hope there is one for the punish
