INCREASE YIELD
OF WHEAT CROP
No Better Time Can Be Found
To Think Of These Things
Than Now

Experience has shown that from
three to five bushels per acre increased
yield in wheat can be made by plow-
ing the land deep and early so as to
give the soil time to settle. The wheat
plant likes a firm seed bed just below
the surface. If the land is quite loose
the roller should be used. The In
crease in yield from the firm packing
of roller will often pay for the roller
in one crop.
Another chance to increase the yield
per acre is by using sound, plump seed
that will grow. Fan and screen out ell
small and shriveled grains.
The average yield of wheat can be
increased five bushels IL one will give
attention to these details. 1t requires
nearly a whole year to grow a crop of
wheat. Why not get the highest crop
possible by doing the right thing at
the right time. 1t does not cost any
more and the profit is so pleasing and
satisfactory. Do your best this time
and note the difference.--C. q. Alfred.

Tennessee, Knoxville.

L. +. Gabbett, surveyor for the

trail of Georgia, which reaches as far

started in with their survey near
Clifty and for the past two months
have been working this way. They
have concluded their work in Little
Sequatchie Cove and are now pre-
pairing to move their camp to point
on the Middle Sequatchie Valley
Ridge, from which point they will
work back on their survey to this
place and on the other side of the
ridge to Tennessee river, This
road, if built, will make a through
line from Chicago to southern points,
passing thru this valley. Indica-
tions point strongly to the building
of the line which would pass through
section very rich in mineral wealth

healthy. Mr.. Loach is very
proud of his strawberry field and
considers it wonderful.

Root Commission Pays
Visit to Historic Palace

Petrograd, Sunday, June IT, via

the Root commission attended a
service in the Imperial Chapel Of
the Winter Palace to-day, and after
ward made a tour of the gigantic
building, much of which is now IN
in use as a military hospital. Mr..
Root and his associates talked with
wounded soldiers ana nurses occu-
pying the great banquet halls and
drawing rooms of the palace. They
inspected the paintings and sculp-
ture of the imperial galleries, passing
hundreds of peasants who were be-
ing shown through the palace hither-
to closed to the public.
The extreme democracy and order
liness of the Russians was shown by
the utter lack of precautions to
guard the art treasures of the palace.
The former emperor's private apart
ments were opened for public inspec-
ton. Crowds passed quietly through
the apartments where Alexander III
expired from the effects of a bomb
explosion, leaving untouched the per-
sonal belongings of the former en-
peror, which have not been disturb
ed since his death.
