WHEAT MARKET BROKE

Chicago, Jan. q. = Severe breaks
in the price of wheat resulted to-day
from heavy selling due largely to
peace rumors. The sharpest decline
was in the May option which fell in
some cases more than seven cents,
touching 174A as against 1914 to
1S1% at yesterdays finish.
Remarkable absence of export buying

Depth to Plant Seeds

The proper depth to plant seeds
depends upon four things:
The size of the seeds.
Method OF terminating.
Fineness OF the soil.
Temperature of the soil.
Small seeds should be planted
shallow, about quarter OF an inch
deep. They should be planted thick
Iy so that the strength OF all VIII

through the surface. Large seeds
should be planted about one inch
or one inch and a half deep II the
seed leaves are lifted above the sur
face. as In the case OF beans and mel
ons. IL the seed leaves are left in
the ground. as In peas. paintings
may be made four inches deep or
more. Seeds like corn may be plant

Organize = Farm Bureau

Methods OF organization are OF es-
pecial interest to farmers just now
when the cry all over the nation Is
for Increased production OF food. The
county farm bureau is proving to be
very successful unit Of organiza-
tion for farmers, 1t being in sue
cessful operation In number Of
counties in the state already. The
plan OF organization fot. such unit
recommended by the Colorado Ag-
ricultural College Extension service
is as follows:
Eight or ten representative men
OF the county should take the lead in
the organization, and these men
should include some OF the business
men as well as farmers.
A county farm bureau should be, a
clearing house for all district or sec
tional farmers organizations and all
such organizations should therefore
be invited to send delegates TO the
organization meeting
AT the organization meeting a con-
stitution and bylaws should be
adopted and a president. yice-pres
dent, secretary-treasurer and execu-
tive committee should be selected.
A council to act as sort OF board
of directors should be established.
and this council should consist OF one
ganization. not excluding business
mems organizations.

committees, and the membership on
