the Women's National Council of De fense, who has organized 106 of the IA counties in Missouri effectively, and has & live working organization in each one of these counties and 375 towns through the state, placed this working force at the disposal of the Liberty Loan Organization.
 Mrs. Ernest Stix of the St. Louis Equal Suffrage League repudiated the statement recently made by Mrs. O.. H. Havemeyer at meeting of the Woman's Party at Baltimore, and de clared that the Woman's Party did not represent the National Woman's 8 Suffrage League, that suffragists were working for Liberty Loan Bonds and doing other war relief work.
 The Equal Suffrage League of St. Louis has an organization in each of the 20 wards and 500 precincts with an efficient chairman in each ward and precinct. This force is now at work in disposing of the Liberty Loan Bonds in St. Louis.
 -Four Minute" women speakers will join forces with the "Four-Minute" men and speak in tht motion picture houses and other places for four min utes on the Liberty Bond during the rest of the campaign.

GERMANS LIBERAL;
 U. s. PUT TO TEST

Germany and the United States are em mbarking simultaneously on an ap- peal to their people for more of the wherewithal to carry on the war.
 It is the second undertaking of the United States Government and the seventh for the peoples of the Ger manic states. We have fn- creased our supply of gold since 1914 by the sum of $1,200000.00 while Germany is in such plight for ade- Quate gold supplies she has been com pelled to ask her people to turn in their rings, gold watches, trfnkets and other gold ornaments. that the dimin- ishing gold supply might be replen- ished, and yet the supply has fallen to point where the Imperial Banks holdings are lower now than at any time since the summer of 1915.
 The contrast between the positions of the two nations is striking and yet Germany has started off in her ap- peal with no rebuffs. The people, pinched and suffering from all man. ner of privations and burdened with sorrows for loved ones lost at sea or in battle on land, are coming forth for the seventh time and laying their savings on the altar of their country for sacrifice.
 With us there will not and cannot be any communicating of savings as in Germany, but our people must heed only the promptings of patriotism and devoted allegiance to the flag and the Government to inspire them to buy Liberty Bonds. The capital is here In abundance.

LOGGING TRUCKS MAKE ROAD
One Type of Car Used in Far West Has Front Tires of Ten Inches and
 Rear Ones Of Twenty.

Powerful wide-tired trucks are now being used in logging regions in Ore gon and Washington, which virtually make their own roads as they go One type of these cars is described in Popu- lar Mechanics Magazine. It has front tires 10 inches wide. An experi- enced driver carefully selects his course as he goes over a route for the first time and the weight of his ma chine makes a road as 1t moves along. 4 few trips over the same line of travel serves to make a hard, smooth surface which will withstand cOnsid- erable bad weather. Four-Wheeled trailers are often used with these trucks.

Thousands of Farmers Making Direct Profits by Catering 10 Pass

The use of the automobile by farm CTS has completely changed the ru- ral attitude toward motoring, and tens of thousands of men are making direct profits by catering t0 the pass ing motorist.

Varieties.

Only soft red winter varieties of wheat are grown in this state. If pos sible, get seed from reliable grower in the neighborhood who has been making success with wheat for sev- eral years. Varieties which do well in this state are medium early in time of maturity and consequently are more likely to escape damage by rust than later maturing varieties. Good varieties of smooth-headed wheat yield as well as bearded wheat Fal- caster is very dependable bearded wheat. Red May, Fultz, Straw and Southern Blue Stem are reliable smooth-headed varieties.
 Time of Seeding.
 While early preparation of seed bed is important, 1t is a good plan to de- lay the time of seeding until after the first white frost. The reason for delaying the seeding of wheat in this way is because of the danger of Hes sian Fly. Though it is not known whether this pest is likely to affect the crop in sections where wheat is seldom grown, 1t is a good plan to ing as suggested. It is not wise to delay seeding too long after a fros, has made seeding safe, since a reduc- eG yield of grain will result. Late planted wheat is usually not as vigor- ous as wheat planted at the right time.
 Method of Seeding.
 Seeding with a grain drill insures a more uniform stand than broadcast seeding. The grain drill places the seed in moist dirts so that rapid ger imitation follows, even during dry weather Results of experiment sta ton tests show that use of grain drill averages from to bushels increase in yield over broadcast seeding. When seed is sown broadcast, make very certain that the seed bed is finely pull verized. Follow with harrow and on loose soil with roller. Wheat should be seeded at the rate of five or six pecks per acre.
 FCTlillZdllOns
 Barnyard manure applied at the rate of eight tons to the acre is one of the best fertilizers for wheat Land with an abundance of organic matter whether obtained from pea vines or any other sources brings a quick re- sponse from wheat. Acid phosphate applied at the rate of 150 to 30f pounds per acre and disked into the soil just before seeding will material ly increase the yield.
 Harvesting and Threshing.
 A binder is very necessary in order to harvest wheat economically. The use of the old-fashioned cradle is both difficult and expensive. Farmers growing small acreages should get together and purchase a binder for the community. In most centers of the state there are one or more threshing machines to be found which take care of community threshing Where no threshing machines are present, community organization is essential in order to obtain one.

ARE YlU GOING
 ID ID YOUR BIT?
More Winter Wheat Must Be Grown This Year Than Ever Before, Says
 Department of Agriculture.
L. W. Osborn, Agronomist College of Agriculture. University of
 Arkansas

Agriculture. University of
 Arkansas
 More winter wheat must be grown this coming year than ever before. The immediate war agricultural pro gram for the nation calls for an ill., creased acreage of winter wheat in Arkansas by 37 per cent over the 1916 crop. Are you going to do your bit?
 Wheat does not require lot of ex- pensive labor as does cotton. and though the returns per acre may not be as great it frequently happens that the proportion of profits is greater.
 Choice of Soil.
 Select a field which is we'll drained and which is as fertile as can be found on the farm. Do not try to grow the crop on poor land that can not produce over twenty bushels of corn to the acre. Though wheat will do we'll on most any soil, provided it Is fertile, the crop Is particularly adapted to good loam and clay soils
 Preparation of Seed Bed.
 A deep. thoroughly pulverized seed bed which has become we'll settled Is ideal for wheat. It is desirable that land to be seeded to wheat should be plowed and narrowed early-in Au- gust if possible-to permit the seed bed to become firm by seeding time Late plowed land should be firmed. then the use of the disk harrow, the roller or heavy plank drag. The spike-tooth harrow can be used to excellent advantage both on freshly plowed land and just before seeding in order to get the surface in finely pulverized condition.
 Farmers who follow corn with wheat in the fall usually follow one of two common practices. The first practice involves husking or snapping the ears, then breaking down the stalks with heavy plank or spike tooth harrow in the direction in which the ground is to be plowed The stalks are then turned under. Land prepared in this way should be firm ly rolled before seeding. The second practice involves cutting corn stalks from the land and removing them. either for fodder or for the silo and then doubledisking the stubble for wheat instead of using the turning blow. This is one of the best plans for making a seed bed
