MORE WHEAT IN BIN
LESS ON THE GROUND

That any wheatgrower can save
enough wheat to pay for a new team
OF horses a year simply by putting tin
strips over the knotholes in the floor
OF his wheat barge" and by fastening
canvas strip three inches wide al
around the sides OF the barge next to
the floor, is the belief OF L. Fl. Rust
prominent insurance man and rancheI
of Weld county. who has himself tried
out the wheat-saving scheme.
As the header moves along the
wheat field and the grain is thrown
into the barge. considerable Of the
grain heads sift through the loose lat
tice-work OF the barges' sides and sift
out also through knot holes In the
floor OF the barge. Mr.. Rust declares.
the "leaky" barge commonly leaving
n trail OF wheat behind it as It moves
along.
The canvas strip fastened firmly TO
the floor of the barge and extending
from three to six inches up the sides
would hold all the wheat heads in.

THE LUCKY TENT.MAKER.

There was a time when we thought
the old tent-maker whose sole desire,
as expressed to the lady of his heart,
was: "a loaf of bread, jug of wine
and thou beside me in the wilderness"
a codger easily pleased. But it seems
that the trinity he selected was about
thrice as much as we are destined to
have left to US if this war continues
for many more moons.
Mr. Hoover has about knocked the
loaf of bread in the head; bone-dry
prohibition throughout the nation is
menacing the jug of wine-and there
are very few ''Thous" who can forsake
their knitting long enough these days
to make any journeys into the wilder
ness, however near the wilderness may
be and however sweetly the modern
tent-maker may sing.
Which is all the more reason that
we should bend every effort to win the
war as speedily as possible and bring
back the normal days and the ancient
joys.
