Human viii
A well-known naturalist once de-
scribed an interesting experience that
Illustrates the operation of human
VIII. He described two men on the
western plains, intent on observing
on the distant horizon two rapidly
moving objects, always the same dis
lance apart. In their rapid move
ments these objects drew nearer and
nearer until it could be observed
that they were two elk-the larger
one in hot pursuit of the smaller. The
smaller one was fleeing for his life
and relying on his strength of amin al
VIII for safety. But even the animal
had the instinct to know that his an
lmal will was getting wearied and ex-
hausted; indeed, it had an end and
with its end would come his own de-
struction. Whereupon even that an
ina began to look beyond. outside
himself, for some higher, greater
power on which to rely. Recognizing
as by instinct greater power in hui
manity, he rushed to the feet of
those two men and stopped in their
protection. The larger one, observ-
ing the situation, checked his pace,
circled about twice, and then loped
away.
Thus it is with suffering humanity
Relying on the strength of human
will for healing, it finally discovers
the human will gets wearied, run
down, and exhausted; that it has an
end, and with its end hope is swal-
lowed up in despair. In that extreme
situation. when the physician makes
the solemn pronouncem ent. There
Is no more hope, because there is no
more strength of will to sustain life
or existence" then poor, suffering
humanity begins to look beyond, out
side itself for some higher, greater
power on which to rely. Then mans
extremity is Gods opportunity"
Turning to the one source of intelli-
gence for guidance, humanity
feels the touch of Truth, of
reality, and is made well again. He
finds himself sustained by the gentle
presence and peace of divine Love
In that sweet sense of heaven here
and now, he feels strength and
power that is never wearied, never
exhausted; but is eternal in heaven
the heaven that Jesus said is with
in you. right within ones own con-
sciousness

mankind into all truth, even to the
very source of truth which is God,
and it would testify of him.
Sometimes it occurs that one is so
completely overwhelmed by sorrow

HOW ENGLAND SAVED

In strong contrast to their neigh
bors, the French across the English
channel, the masses of the English
people a few years ago were proverb-
tally a spendthrift rather than a saw
ing race. But the great war has
wrought a change.
In the year 1916 although purchas-
ing billions of dollars of war bonds
the small savings banks deposito-s in
England increased their deposits over
sixty million dollars.
1t was patriotism that started this
great change in the people Of the ma
ton. The English people started saw
ing their money because they saw that
it meant saving England. But thrift
and economy begot thrift and econo-
my. They economical and saved for
their own sake as well for England's
sake. Not only did they save money
but they economical in food. infuel,
in dress, in Injuries. More than one
million English workers were purchas-
ers, out Of their savings, in the great
war loan Of Great Britain, and eight
million subscribed to their last war
loan.
The question whether the civilian
population should economic and do
without certain things or the soldiers
and sailors be denied things necessary
for their effectiveness and safety was
answered in no uncertain or unpatriot-
ic way by the masses of the English
people. They did their bit in financ-
ing their country.
Neither in ability nor in patriotism
are the American people second to the
English or the French or the German
or any other nation. The Liberty Loan
is at once an appeal and a pride. 1t
appeals to their patriotism and their
civic pride; it is an opportunity to
save and an opportunity to serve their
country.
No American need fear that the
results of the American peoples sup
port of the Liberty Loan will fail to
maintain Americas traditional pa
triotism and power. The more than
four million subscribers and the more
than billion over-subscription to the
first issue of the Liberty Loan Bonds
are eloquent testimony of the Ameri-
can peoples loyalty to their govern
nent and their willingness and ability
to give it full financial support.

GOOD SEEDED GIVES
BIGGER WHEAT YIELD

Wheat prices and the need for in
creased production warrant farmers
in making every effort to secure q
large yield next year. Much land will
be plowed late because dry weather
would not permit cartier breaking.
The University Of Missouri College of
Agriculture is recommending that land
plowed from the middle of August
until seeding time be given special at
tention so that it may be worked down
thoroughly. The seeded for wheat
must be well compacted below. The
use Of the roller or the disc harrow
set at not too great an angle, together
with the drag harrow will be neces-
sary in many cases to get the land
settled before wheat is seed
ed. The later blowing is done, the
more important it is that this settling
of the land be given attention. 1t may
make all the difference between sue
cess and failure if the season happens
to be one in which wheat will be bad
ly winter killed.

TRUTHFUL EDITOR
LIAR NO LONGER

A west Texas editor got tired of
being called a "liar" because of an
occasional typographical error or
slight disarrangement of the facts in
publishing commonplace news item.
In his wrath he announced the fact in
bold face type as follows:
"a lot Of people in this town fall
out with the editor and brand him as
liar when the ordinary human mis-
takes Of life show up in a newspaper.
You have little charity and fellow
feeling for every man in your town
but your editor. You claim that you
want the facts, and id if I don't
give 'em to you. Read the next issue
Of this sheet and you'll see some facts
with the bark off. III admit that l
have been liar, an editorial liar, ev-
er since have been editing this sheet,
but | have never printed lie in this
sheet except to save somebody's feel
ings from being hurt. I'm not afraid
of any of you, and III be dad blamed
if don't print the plain truth from
now on, or until you get out of the
habit of calling me liar every time
! make some little unavoidable typo
graphical error. Watch my smoke"
Here are some paragraphs from the
next issue:
"John Coyle, our groceryman, who
voted with the Republicans in 1896
and consumes more mail-order whis-
key than any other member of the
Baptist church in this country, is do
ing a poor business. His store is dir
ty and dusty. 1t is a wonder he has
any business at ALL"
"The Rev. Sly preached last Sunday
night at the Christian church. His
sermon was punk except some stuff
he quoted from Bob Ingersoll for
which he failed to give Bob any credit
He also recited a few passages from
VIM. Munsey's sermons and had the
gall to palm it off as his own"

INSECTS TAKE HEAVY TOLL

In no country in the world do insect
pests impose heavier tax. on farm
products than in the United States.
The losses which result from the dep
relations of insects on all the plant
products of the soil, both in their
growing and in their stored state, to-
gether with those on live stock, ex-
coed the entire expenditures of the
national government. These losses
amount to the vast sum Of $1,000
100000 annually. Were these losses
evenly distributed among all farmers
producing a given crop, there would
be no real hardship to them, but such
is not the case.
Insect pests can be controlled and
a large part of the damage by them
can be prevented at cost which rem
ders preventive measures profitable.
The University Of Missouri College of
offers courses in entomol-
ogy, which prepare farmer boys for
coping with insect outbreaks by rec
ognizing the injurious insects and by
using the proper insecticides against
the pests at the proper time.

USE TESTED SIREs

The value of the tested sire has been
illustrated by the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture. Sui
tana's Virginia Lad was selected as
the herd sire at the age of five years
on account of the excellent milking
qualities of his daughters, although
none of them had ever been tested
for Register of Merit at the time he
was purchased. The first five daugh-
ters of this bull to freshen in the Uni
versity of Missouri herd have an av-
erage production of 9,000.3 pounds Of
milk and 511.3 pounds of fat as two
year olds. This is an average per
cent increase of 1866 in milk and 1858
in fat over the average production Of
the first lactation of their dams.
Two Of these daughters have drop
ped the second calf and have started
their lactation period by producing
1416 pounds of milk containing 1928
pounds of fat and 1924 pounds of milk
containing 82.32 pounds of fat re-
spectively during the first month.
The production of 1928 pounds of fat
in one month is the record of the herd
for that length of time. These fig
ures show that the sire may be even
more than half the herd.
The use of the tested sire has been
emphasized all the more by present
high feed prices. The offspring of the
tested sire will usually use feed more
economically and produce more than
those of the scrub sire.

HESSIAN FLY MUST BE
KEPT UNDER CONTROL

Missouri farmers have the upper
hand of the hessian fly. This is the
first time that an advantage has been
gained over the insect. 1t is essen
tial that this advantage be held es-
pecially since there is world wheat
shortage and since increased acreage
and yields are necessary.
The Missouri College of Agricul-
ture recommended early in the season
that wheat stubble be plowed in July
or early August, and that the fly
which would have been buried by such
blowing be prevented from escaping
by following the pillow with harrow,
dick or drag. Owing to the fact that
dry weather prevented early blowing
in some sections and that farmers
were too busy with saving the pres
ent wheat crop to break the land, most
of the blowing has been delayed
However, effective work may still be
done in controlling the fly. Voluntary
wheat which has sprung up in the
plowed land should be destroyed
Farmers who have not broken their
land may still take effective precau-
tions against the insect by sowing on,
or soon after, the f1y-free date. Co.
operation among neighbors is neces-
sary to control the fly. Farmers clubs
should request members to delay seed
ing until the fy-free date, in each Sec
ton of the State. Where no farmers
clubs exist, wheat growers should
agree to cooperate in observing the
hy-free date.
The effects of late blowing may be
partly overcome by thorough seed
bed preparation. A well prepared seed
bed will undoubtedly add bushels to
the wheat yield and in view of the
present shortage of food and the
high price Of wheat, the farmers
should not neglect any practice which
will make better yields.

WHEAT CAMPAIGN STARTS

A series Of meetings will be held in
each Missouri county during the next
few weeks to stimulate wheat pro-
duction. The county councils of de-
Tense win have charge Of these meet
ings. The present wheat shortage
the necessity for increasing the acre
age and the various practices which
will insure better yield will be dis
cussed by Representatives of the Uni
versity Of Missouri College of Agri-
culture and the Federal Government.
The first meetings were held in North
Missouri, August 20. Men have been
visiting the various counties to make
preliminary arrangements for these
meetings during the last two weeks.
These preliminary arrangements will
be completed by September Is. The
local meetings of each county which
began August 20, in North Missouri
will proceed southwark as fall ap.
proaches and will be completed by Oc-
tober 10.
This campaign has been proposed to
Increase wheat production. Emphasis
will be placed on 0) seeded prepa-
ration; (2) sowing better varieties of
wheat; (3) tanning and grading the
seed; (4) testing seed for smut; (5)
using commercial fertilizers if it is
possible to obtain them; CO. sowing
wheat on or about the fy-free date.
The conditions in Italy, France and
England indicate need of 500,000,000
bushels of wheat The visible surplus
in the United States and Canada is
only little more than half that need.
Australia has a surplus Of about
150,0OO,O00 bushels. India has a sur
plus Of about 60,0O0,00O bushels. These
sources would relieve the situation
considerably, if the wheat were avail
able to the Allies. However, ships are
rot available to transport this wheat.

not known, but any that might be

PREPARATION OF DRIED
PRODUCTS FOR STORING

Dried products should be carefully
prepared for storing to insure against
destruction by insects or mold. The
products may be conditioned by plac-
ing them in boxes and pouring them
from one box to another occasionally
during three or four days so that they
will become thoroughly mixed and so
that the whole mass will obtain an ev-
en- degree of moisture. In case the
material appears to be too moist, re-
place in the drier for a short time.
Insects are likely to do considera-
Bile damage 10 dried products unless
special precaution is taken. The in
sects which are found in dried pro-
ducts usually deposit their eggs about
dusk or dark. A sun dried product
should be carefully covered or taken
in at sun down. 1t is advisable to heat
the product to temperaturet of 40
degrees F. long enough to allow the
heat to penetrate throughout just be-
fore storing. This will sterilize an
infested product.
Large tin cans or glass jars make
good containers for dried products,
but they are not necessary. Paper
cartons, boxes, and sacks may be
used. 1t is a good plan to use small
containers so that only a small quanti-
~ will be opened at time. Placing
just enough for two meals in small
bags tied tightly at the top is a good
plan since number of these small
sacks may be placed in a large tin
container such as lard can. Each
bag should be labeled. Painting the
outside of the bag with melted par
affin will help to prevent spoilage.

available is excluded from the market
by enemy armies.
The only source of supply for de-
ticiency in Italy, France, England and
other allied countries is the United
States and Canada. To meet the de-
mand for wheat, therefore, American
farmers must increase the acreage
considerably above the 1917 crop. If
Missouri furnishes its allotted supply
the acreage sown this fall must be
thirty per cent greater than that sown
last fall.
