Apply six to eight tons per acre of well routed manure broad cast before seeding; @ Apply about six tons of manure per acre reinforced by 200 pounds of of acid phosphate; (3) If manure is not available, apply 300 to 400 pounds per acre of standard mixed fertilizer. On land of or dinary productivity use 250 pounds of acid phosphate or 300 pIunds of mixed fertilizer. If manure is available, 2 moderate dressing of five or six tons should be applied. In applying fertilizer to wheat, one cannot do better than to make the applica. tion broadcastl before. seeding. and thoroughly mix with the soil by using the disc harrow. It is difficult to apply fertilizers on wheat in the spring and prop. erly incorporate same with the soil without injuring the grow. ing crop.
 2. METHOD OF SEEDING: The grain drill provides the only satisfactory method of seeding winter wheat. The work of the Agricultural College of Experi ment Station shows that broad cast seeding is usually done at a loss of one Or more bushels per acre. The quality of drill down wheat is usually shade better. than a crop from seed soVn broadcast. Where a grain drill is not available, an improveYent J Jon the usual broadcast m)eth-

branded as a stacker com mon wealth. The truth of the matter is that Missouri is just as patri- otic as the other states and she is giving up her young men just as freely as the young men are being given up by any other part of the country. And when our boys go lover the top" and charge across No Mans Land, Missouri boys vii! be at their sides. When the lists of the dead and wounded come to spread sorrow throughout our land, there will be breaking hearts in Missouri just as there will be in other states.
 And then we'd rather be the hum blest citizen of this great nation and know that we had done nothing to cause a needless sacrifice of life than to be either the junior or the senior senator from the state of Missouri and have to face an outraged people with no excuse to plead and with no plea for mercy to be made.
 There should be black page in United States history to be devoted to the shameful story of such men as the senators from Missouri and Benedict Arnold should cease to stand out as the most conspicuous type of traitor that this great country has pro. duced.

Wheat on Every Farm for Flour

Wheat on Every Farm for Flour and Some to Spare. " IS the slogan recently adopted by the Extension Division, and Dean Martin Nelson of the College of Agriculture at Fayetteville has written Circular No. 31 on the culture of wheat, which every farmer can have for the asking. Following are a few extracts from this circular. Watch this paper for others which will fol low next week:
 Careful procedure and close attention to details will eliminate many causes of failure met by in experienced wheat growers" Says Dean Nelson.
 SOIL FOR WHEAT: Select we'll drained productive soil and, if possible, land that is some what elevated. Soil for wheat may be somewhat sandy soil, a heavy clay the ordinary bot tom land or alluvlal delta soil. :"
 PREPARATION FOR SEED ING WHEAT: Break the land at least three or four weeks before time of seeding. Plow evenly and to good depth, at least six or eight inches. The soil must be well mulched and smooth on the surface in order to do the seed ing properly. Use the apike tooth harrow freely and the disc har- row if necessary to break up the clods. Use the drag only for lev cling the surface The practice in some localities of blowing, seeding and dragging without using the harrow at all is not good"
 FERTILIZER FOR WHEAT: Select good productive soil for wheat as far as possible. It is not success on poor soil; how. ever, on many uplands and on some bottom lands fertilizers can be used proitably. On thin uplands and on cropworn bottom bottom lands naturally 1NV ie productivity use one of

MISSOURrS SENATORIAL DISGRACE

Ask ninety-nine of every hun, dred intelligent men you meet to name the state that has the poor est team in the United States senate and the answer would be: Missouri" :" Reed and Stone are just about as bad as it is possi- possible for senators to be.
 Reed and Stone were no better a few years ago than they are now, but there was at that time little condemnation for them out side of Missouri and not enough there to retire them to private life. In times of peace it was felt that that they could do about as we'll as the next two men who might be chosen and it was felt by Missouri that Reed and Stone being in" could do more to get a share of the federal pork that might be done by newer sena- tors. Besides. they claimed to be democrats and democracy was in the saddle.
 But with the nation at war. Stone and Reed have by their Anti.American course attracted to themselves attention that will forever remove them from public life and bury them in disgrace for all time to come
 The resentment against these two is more bitter in Missouri than it is elsewhere, for thou sands of minimizing persons have thought that because Mis- souri's senators were so strongly in sympathy with Germany Mis- souri also shared that feeling and by many the grand old state was

Railroad War Boards Report

Chicago, Sept 23.-Reports re celved by R. H. Ashton, Chair man of Central Department Com mittee of the Railroads War Board show that since the begin hing of the war the reduction in passenger train service in the fifteen states in the Central De- partment amounts to 9.201, ,327 train miles per year.
 The sole object in cutting down the passenger service wherever possible without infiicting hard ship on the public was to con serve man power, fuel and loco motives for more important transportation service during war.
 The saving effected thus far by the passenger service reduc- tions in Central Department ter. ritory amounts per annum to 1 1.66O men, 989, ,399 tons of coal, 203, ,O97 barrels of oil and 327 10 comotives.
 Not single reduction in pas senger train service was made without careful consideration of the effect on the travelling public, and the constant effort was to cause the least inconvenience possible in order to secure the results considered most neces- sary in the nations crises. In most cases where an entire train was annulled additional coaches were added to other trains. In some cases mixed trains were found able to render the service which had been given by regu- lar passenger train. In other cases more stopping places were added to the schedules of regu- lar passenger trains.
 So far it has been found mad visable to discontinue any of the so called transcontinental trains west of Chicago.

Knoeker or Boosted?

When the Creator had made all good things, there was still some dirty work to do, so He made the beasts and reptiles and poisonous insects, and when He finished. He had some scraps that were too bad to put into the rattle snake, the hyena, the scorpion and the skunk, So He put all these together, covered it with jealousy, marked it with a yellow streak and called it Knocker. :"
 This product was so fearful to contemplate that He had to make something to counteract it, so He took sunbeam, put it in the heart of a child and the brain of man. wrapped it In civic pride, covered it with brotherly love, gave it a mask of velvet and a grasp of steel, made it a lover of the fields and flowers and manly spots, believer in equality and justice, a worker for and sup porter of every good thing, and called it a Booster.
