is suggested for that state. New York is asked for only 5000 acres increase but it is thought that a larger increase in rye may be possi- ble in that state.
 Some instances over the 1916 sowings are asked for in the cotton belt. It is estimated that last fall there was sown in the cotton belt about 100000 acres of rye. It seems advisable to recommend that at least 250.000 acres of rye should be sown in the cotton belt this year, replacing some of the winter oat acreage.
 The states in the corn belt are asked also to enlarge considerably their rye acreage over that sown in 1916. as the lighter soils which are not es- pec1ally we'll adapted for wheat could be planted to advantage to rye. Special Methods to Increase Yields of
 Wheat and Rye.
 Specialists of the Department of Agriculture and the State Horticultural colleges hope that by better methods the average,yield per acre will he at least maintained wherever there is a fertilizer shortage and will be in- creased in other sections. Many edu- catlonal work will be done to make this desire an actuality, and in this campaign the most successful grow CTS will have prominent part. For instance, 1t Is stated that on the land that could be sown to fall wheat this autumn. 1t is possible materially to increase the yield per acre by putting into practice some principles that are already we'll known to most farmers. Ihese should appeal especially to those who cannot increase their usual acreages without doing injustice to other crops which should be grown.
 These principles may be summed up as follows:
 CD Flow early. Give the plowed land two months to settle before sowing where possible.
 CD Compact the late-plowed land with rollar and harrow.
 (3) Don't blow after a cultivated crop. Prepare such land with disk and harrow.
 (D Make the seed bed a fit place for the seed.
 (6) Sow with a drill, sound, plump. clean seed of adapted variety.
 (e) Prevent losses from smut by

But in 1872 Matty allowed but one

In the late encounter there was the

Laurel enters upon its last lap to-
day. the meeting coming to an end
Wednesday a week. The program
during the coming week will be of
an unusually high order, and several
big stake events will be run of.
Tuesday the Canvasback Handicap,
for all ages, with $3.50 added, will be
the feature. On Wednesday the Eli
colt City Handicap. for 3-year-olds.
with $500 added, will be in order.
Thursday the Dixie Handicap. for
3-year-olds and upward, with 81 500
added, is on the card. Saturday the
Chevy Chase Steeplechase Handicap,
with $500 added. and the Potomac
Handicap, with 5000 added, will wind
up a brilliant week.
The racing during the past week
was made notable by the Hourless-
Omar Khayyam match, VIII C h
brought out the biggest attendance
ever seen on q race track in Mary
land, and resulted in one of the
greatest contests in turf annals. Peo-
pie are still talking about it and will
continue to do so for some time to
come. The match was a great stroke
on the part of the Laurel manage
ment and quite in line with its pro-
gressive policy.
With the close OF the meeting at
Laurel Pimlico begins to loom large.
the big stakes and purses will attract
all the best horses in training, and
the old Hilltop track will probably
see the greatest sport in its history.
1t Is probable that Omar Khayyam
and Hourless may meet in the Pim-
lico Autumn Handicap. Both Sam
Hildreth and Dick Carman have de-
clared their intention to start their
colts in that event, and il they do
another great battle is in order. 1t
will be interesting to know what the
Handicapped will do with them.
Both colts are in the Bowie, and
here they will meet with stiff opposi-
ton from the older horses. Old Rose
bud, Roamer, Clematis. Embroidery
Spur, Borrow and other distance per-
formers are in that event and will
make 1t hot for the 3-year-olds.
Steeplechasing is one of Pimlico's
star specials, and this season prom
ises to be the best ever. All the
crack timber toppers of the country
are headed for Baltimore. and the
contests through the field will be
among the star features of the daily
program. Some OF the cracks now in
sight are Pebeto, Quel Bonheur. The
Brook, Saturn, Belle OF Bryn Mawr,

ques Coeur. In addition Is the big

AUTO manufacturers
PLAN MANY SHOWS
In Spite Of War Auto World Will
Hold Big Shows This Season.

" spite OF the war. high taxes,
o ascd cost of production. etc,
q tomobile manufacturers are plan
ming for the most elaborate auto
mobile shows ever held this year in
New York. Chicago and the other
large cities Of America.
Plans for the New York show, to
be held January 5-l2, are already un-
der wau and automobile and acces-
sorry manufacturers have rented space
and are preparing their exhibits.
Automobile manufacturers do not
permit their new ideas to gain gen.
eral circulation before the winter
shows and it Is not possible TO pre-
6ict at this time what innovations
may be expected in the 1915 pleasure
cars.
1t is certain that there will be at
least two new low priced cars on the
market to compete with the present
machines selling for less than $500.
Commercial cars will likely be very
similar this year. owing to the gov
ernment demand for standardized
parts for use in the war.
The Chicago show will not be held
until late in January while shows at
Cleveland and Pittsburgh probably
will be held between the New York
and Chicago dates.
