Consumers Held
Responsible for
High Sugar Price

The president of one of Omaha's
biggest jobbing concerns, who asks
that his name be withheld, says the
consumers are really the biggest spec
ulators in food, and are responsible
more than any for the steadily mount
ing prices.
zone Omaha hospital has bought
sufficient sugar to supply its needs for
four months" he says, "and is now
trying to get more. This is a mis-
take; we are not going to run out Of
sugar, and while we are just now
limiting our sales, it is not to hold UP
prices, but really to prevent short
age being forced by the accumulation
of stocks in consumers hands. sold
sugar in 1877 at prices higher than
now asked. We are taking care of
our customers, but, in common with
all other wholesale grocers, we are
declining to sell everybody all they
want. Sugar still will be made, and
the price will be lower when folks get
over their nervousness"

As many OF our farmers con.
template sowing wheat this fall
owing to the high prices for this
grain, and owing to the further
fact that money has been assured
to buy thresher to get it thresh-
ed. We give below the Govern
ments advice as to growing and
etc.
The varieties of wheat gener-
ally grown in Kentucky are the
best for this state. These are

smooth head with red chaff, Full.
caster, a bearded variety, and
Mediterranean or Four-rowed
Fultz.
If necessary to buy seed one of
these varieties should be chosen,
and if possible the seed should
be bought in the immediate To-
cality. Home grown seed is just
as good as Northern seed if reas-
onably clean and pure. No farm
er can afford to buy enough high
priced seed from. a distance to
plant his entire crop, and pay
freight charges in addition, just
to have absolutely pure seed. A
moderate admixture of our vari-
cites will not decrease the yield.
The important thing is TO have
seed free from rye, cheat, and
especially cookie and onions.
Seed wheat should be cleaned
in order to remove light shrunken
grains, dirt and other impurities.
There is nosadvantage in screen
ing out small grains if they are
plump.
Wheat grows best in a firm
seed bed. Under no circumstan.
ces should the land be plowed
when wheat follows corn, tobac-
co, cow peas, soy beans or any
cultivated crop. The best pre-
paration is light disking to GOV.
er trash and loosen up enough
soil to cover the seed. After disk
ing, plank drag should lie used
to level the land. fit is neces-
sary to disk deeply to cover trash,

fore sowing the seed if it can

Experiments have shown that
October lst to 10th is the safest
time to plant wheat in Kentucky,
everything considered. In sou
thern parts of the state it is safer
to wait until October 10th to Goth
when there seems much danger
of Hessian fly attacks. Late seed
ing is the only possible way of
controlling this pest.
1t pays to sow five to six pecks
of seed per acre in Kentucky
The station has proved this by
repeated experiments. Except
under the most favorable condi.
tons, as when wheat is sown ra-
Their early on rich tobacco land
or on fallow land, 6 pecks per
acre pays better than five. Be-
