DON'T HARVEST YOUR
WHEAT TOO EARLY

Owing to high prices of flour ii
may be the tendency Of many farm
ers to harvest their wheat crop too
early. In some sections of the
State the crop is promising, but to
mature would mean big loss to
the farmers. Great care should be
exercised in harvesting wheat to get
the largest yields and grain that
will make the best grade of flour.
Wheat should be harvested when
the grain is in the dough stage. At
this stage the berries can be indent
ed with the finger nails, but they
are not milky. Harvesting at this
stage insures the largest yields. If
harvesting is begun before the grain
is in the dough stage there will be
considerable loss due to shrink
age, and in the poor quality of flour
milled from such grain. If harvest
ing is deferred until the grain is
dead ripe much grain will be lost
by SCATTERING.
The feeding value of the straw is
decreased if it is cut after the grain
has passed through the dough stage.

food to have supplied the entire
British army during that time.
2. II Great Britain had prohibit
ed drink in August, 1914, she would
today have had surplus of foo
equal to three months supply, in

3. The British drink trade has

400, 200 tons.
4. The British drink trade has
during the war wasted labor equip

TRAIN CHANGES

Louisville, KY, May 2S, 1917.
Mr.. e. l.. Womack,
G. p. A. Building.
Our road has received instruc
lions from the Special Committee or
National Defense, reading as fol.
lows:
"The Railroads War Board" or
ganized especially to operate all the
roads of the country as one system
for the purposes of national defense,
has advised railroads to adjust their
services to conserve fuel supply, and
increase the capacity of the lines as
whole. This is done to secure the
maximum transportation energy for
moving coal, food, materials and
| troops necessary for the successful
conduct of the war.
The communication to the indi-
vidual railroads says in part:
1. Consolidate, where practicable,
through passenger train service and
eliminate trains which are not we'll
patronized.
2. Reduce the number of special
trains and give up running excur-
sion trains.
3. On light and branch lines,
where two or more passenger trains
are operated, try to reduce to one
train a day.
4. Substitute, where practicable,
mixed train service for separate pas
senger and freight service on branch
lines. Closely review number of
scheduled freight trains, where ton
mage is insufficient to load them,
with a view to reducing the number
of trains.
). Where passenger trains are
double-headed for speed, readjust
ment of schedules or cutting out Of
cars, where possible, will release To-
comotivos for freight service.
6. Reduce, so far as practicable,
luXuries-such as observation cars.
Reduce, also, in the interest of econ
omy, the present rather elaborate
and luxurious bills of fare furnished
on many dining and restaurant cars.
T. Move Company freight and
supplies on underloaded trains. OPP
crate work and construction trains,
as far as possible, in slack times.
Store fuel in slack times.
s. Make the question of train
leading Of primary importance with
division officials and train and yard
crews, through close checking of the
records of train performance. Give
publicity to those making good and
poor records.
The War Board, in explaining the
reasons for these orders, says that it
finds it inevitable that from time to
time it must recommend the adop-
ton of policies which Will curtail
conveniences the public has prev

lies upon the support of public opin.

gency, and feels that this sacrifice
Of personal convenience will be I'M
grudgingly granted"
To comply with these instruc-
tons, we will make a new schedule,
as quickly as possible. taking one

PRIVATE WIRE TO THE EAST.

The private wire of the o. A. Olin
company not only provides the in
vestlng public with continuous quota
tions during business hours ON all
eastern stocks and bonds, and also on
grain, cotton and provisions, but it
also provides the people with daily
news service, giving bulletins of I'M
portant events of the war which are
Of absorbing interest since the Unit
ed States has become a party to the
great conflict. At all hours or the
day a group of men may be seen IN
front of the DIN office eagerly reading
the latest news from the front" along
with the quotations. This is OF course
a gratuitous service on the part of the
Olin company, and it is one which Is
evidently greatly appreciated by the
public. The company Is enabled to re-
ceive these bulletins by having a direct
wire connection with the eastern mar
kets, this privilege having been grant
ed by the New York exchange and
the Chicago board of trade. The con-
pection Is made In Spokane win the
Logan G. Bryan wire which extends
from coast to coast. The Olin COM
pany has also installed a loop when
connects with the board room or the
Spokane stock exchange, which en-
ables the company to give its clients
the benefit of quick service while the
exchange is in session. Eastern quo
tations are received continuously from
a. m. until p m.
The private wire connection OF the
Olin company with the east Is the only
one entering the Coeur dAlene dis
trict, and is proving great advantage
to local investors not only In min-
ing stocks, but In other eastern secnr-
tiles and also in grain.
