Someone has advanced the opinion
that the letter sc" is the most unfor-
tGnate letter in the English alphabet,
because it is always out of cash, for
ever in debt, never out OF danger and
in he'll all the time, For some reason
he overlooked the fortunates of the
letter, so we call his attention to the
fact that "e' is never in war, always
in peace. It is the beginning of ex-
stence, the commencement of ease,
and the end of trouble. Without it
no meat, no life and no heaven. 1t is

Farmer Suicides.

Shelbyville, Ky, May 7.-The body
of Roland Heilman, so years old, q
farmer, was found hanging in the to-
bacco barn on his farm near Crop
per just before noon to-day. He had
recently purchased the place from
Luther Woods, and it is believed that
financial troubles may have led to
his death. He is survived by his
widow, three sons, one daughter and

able weather from now on, the total
winter wheat yield may somewhat
though not materially, exceed the
harvest of last year. At this stage
0i the growth of the spring wheat
crop, all that may be reasonably said
is that the law of chance is for a
greater production than last season.
There seems a strong probability
that we shall have other available
food supplies, such as corn, oats and
potatoes, not only in full measure,
but running over. Such are the as
surances given by the Committee on
Statistics and Standards of the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United States
There is much cheer in the way
people, alike in the town and on the
farm, are awake to the necessity of
greatly increased food production this
year." said Archer Wall Douglas of
st. Louis, chairman of the committee.
Gardens are being cultivated every
where. OF even greater amount is
the story of an acreage of corn, oats
and potatoes that will break all pre-.
vious records"
According to the report, the serious
and dominating factor in the condi-
tion of wheat is the widespread da-
mage from winter killing and drought
that is aid to prevail in most unu-
sual measure in every section where
winter wheat is grown.

WORK THE CORN LAND
-DUTy OF EVERY GROWER

In emergiences il may be necessary
for some patriots to uuyoke the oxen
and leave the plow standing in the
furrow. but the lasting support or
the Nation requires efficient patriots
Z, keep the plow going. The soil sup
ports animals; corn and animals sup
port an army; and 'armies fight OIL
their bellies" Let us properly care
for the goose that lays the golden
egg.
Whether corn prices are high or
low. the farmers profit depends on
obtaining large acre yields. Large
acre yields reduce the expense OF both
labor and land. 1t is remarkable
that acre yields are increasing most
rapidly in the States north and west
of the corn-belt States. These in
creased acre yields are largely due TO
earlier and thicker planting of bet
fer seed corn Unnecessary losses
from planting poor seed corn are
diminishing as it is becoming better
realized that neither frosts nor
droughts can eXterminate good accli-
mated varieties if sufficient seed be
saved from good crops to last until
another good crop is obtained. Good
seed corn will retain its powers Of
termination and production for four
or five years.

Moving pasture lands when the

Planting.
With due care in preparing land
and with proper seed corn, paintings
should be made several weeks earlier
than is usually practiced in the
Northern States. Enormous losses
due to failure of the corn crop to ma
ture can be largely prevented by
earlier planting. 1t has become GUS
tomary to delay corn planting until
the soil is warm, because poor seed
will rot in cold soil. The proper kind
of seed corn can be planted before
danger from frosts is past. Spring
early planted corn. One fall frost is
worse than three spring frosts. The
earliest paintings mature earliest and
usually produce the largest and best
crops. While it may not always be
advisable to plant "one for the black
bird, one for the crow, one for the
cutworm, and three for to grow" it
is advisable even with the best of
seed to plant two or three kernels
for every stalk desired Some of .he

Central and Southern States.
In the Central and Southern States
the scarcity of soil moisture ;I the
middle OF the summer reduces the
corn crop more than all other causes
combined. The best assurance of a
good corn crop is to get moisture in

10 as great depths as possible.
To allow weeds, alfalfa, rye, or
other plants to grow during the
spring upon land to be planted to
corn is to invite failure of the corn
crop.

The main cora planting is now
completed In the South. When this

the occurrence of drought will ruin
the crop unless Il good supply of

soil To reduce the chances OF 'oss

paintings should be made. Summer
droughts are sometimes broken in

Long Experienced.

WASHINGTON. Sept 17.-Colonel
George Montgomery, commanding Jt-
ficer of the Frankford Srsenal, was
the first witness today before the
house military subcommittee investi-
eating the manufacture of defective
cartridges at the arsenal. He told how
there had been trouble with primers
since last January, resulting in the
condemning of MILLIONS of them oy
the arsenal's chief inspector, of the
purchase of the primers from private
manufacturers and of the permanent
substitution in June of a privately
owned primer.
A chemical defect which the in
spector could not detect was respon-
sible for the difficulty. the colonel
said, tho he suggested that the COM
mittee should go into that question
with the chief chemist. In addition
to the chemical deterioration he said
there had been insufficient drying IA
primers in crowded ammunition ware-
houses.
In response to query as to whether
the government did not have the right
to expect it's chemists to find damag-
ing elements in ammunition. the wit
ness said private concerns paid much
higher wages TO their chemists.
