FIRST WHEAT TO NEW
ROCKFORD, No. / HARD

New Rockford, N. D.. Aug. 81.-A
load Of wheat from the Henry Sinkler
farm, near here, the first to be
brought to market this season, graded
No. / hard. weighing So pounds to
the bushel. A load Of durum from
the same farm went SO pounds to
the bushel, and was graded as No. 2.
The yield will be very light. but the
grain Is of a fine color.
Over 500 bushels Of good oats were
hauled to a local elevator from the
Elmer Davidson farm. This also was
q small yield, but the grain went 80
pounds to the bushel.
Some barley has been brought to
the city. but it is of a poor quality.
This. however, Is not considered to
be a good sample of what the barley
crop of this section will be.
Threshing is now In full swing,
some machines being in operation for
more than a week. The ruiz will be
short on account Of the short straw
and speed with which the crops are
being handled. .

h Fargo, n. D., Aug. 31.-Disap-
pointment was expressed by represen-
tative farmers here a st.night over the,
wheat fair-price fixing committee in
deciding upon q s2.2o q bushel. at
Chicago for No. 4 northern spring
wheat. It was declared that this
grade OF wheat is worth IS bushel
to the farmers az feed 90. compared
with the price OF corn. ss Al
Aubrey LaWrences president OF the
Commercial club and a member Of
the committee representing farmers
in washington. said that In his opin-
ion the price was not fair to the
farmer. and pointed to prices allow
ed for other commodities. including
coal, steel and wool.
1.-THE farmer growing spring wheat
is not being fairly treated by this
price because the winter wheat man
has already sold his crop and will
reap aFwonderfuT profit. It is. how
ever, much better than would have
been fixed had not the committee
from the northwestern states gone to
washington andsslaid its srfigures OF
production before the gcommittee."

MUCH WASTE IN GARDENING
Necessity May Force Americans to Adopt Economical FertiIizing
 Methods Used by Beleians.

Shortage in the supply of fertilizer Is situation of great gravity that con- fronts the amateur gardener whose pa triotic spirit is impelling him to till city lots and suburban plots. City sta
 bles, which formerly supplied fertili- ger to farms in the neighboring states have been turned into garages, with the result that manures can be ob- tained only in small quantities, if at all. To obtain the results to which their labors and their enthusiasm en- title them the back lot and suburban gardeners must husband their re- sources, abandon the wasteful Ameri- can method of enriching the soil and turn to the system that gave Belgium pre-eminence in intensive farming, ac- cording to the New York Herald.
 The American method of placing fer tilizer is to spread it entirely over d plot or field. The Belgian method is to place the, fertilizer only under the spot where the plant is to grow, vast ing none of the valuable plantfood be- tween rows or between plants. The European gardener turns over the earth, harrows or rakes it and then digs a trench or series of holes about eight inches deep where he desires to plant a TOW of corn, peas or beans

Oil of Cloves.

Oil of cloves is obtained from cloves by distillation. and the principal constituent of this volatile oil is called by chemists eugenol. Another of the main constituents of oil ot cloves is hydrocarbon. Most persons by pressing hard upon clove, or by biting it, have observed that it con tains a very pungent volatile oil. In the Pharpacopeia cloves are rated as of value as tonic and carmihatiye, but their principal employment in pharmacy is in connection with some other remedy.
