Wheat Growing

Mississippi Will be called on to
plant at least 100000 acres Of
wheat this fall. Wheat is not
considered a money crop for
South Mississ1ppl; however, 1t
can be grown, and. small acre
age of wheat should be grown on
every farm, as this will relieve
the shortage of flour to some ex-
tent, and at the same time, the
farmers VIII be doing a patriotic
duty.
The people of Pearl River
County have gone over the top"
on every war problem that they
have been asked t" perform, and
am sure that every farmer has
few choice acres that will p-o-
duce good quality of wheat,
and this crop of wheat will be
harvested in time to grow a
crop Of peas, corn or some 9th
er crop.
Wheat has been grown sue
cessfuIly by the Mcneil En- peri
ment Station. as we'll as by sew
eral good farmers in Pearl River
County. The following varieties
will p"obab bly, be best suited for
this section: Red May; Fultz;
Blue Stem.
I am unable to say just what
the seed will cost, but | see some
advertised, ranging from So. so
to $3.50 per bushel,
Wheat land should be prepar-
ed four to six weeks in advance
of seeding date. The soil should
be fairly fertile, with a clay sub
soil, and an application of three
or four hundred pounds of acid
phosphate, and one hundred
pounds cotton seed meal should
be used per acre,
The latter part of Novem Der,
or after the first killing frost is
the best time for planting wheat
in South M ississippi, Home
grown seed are preferable, and
we viii make every effort to Sc
cure reliable seed from the vari-
GUS County Agents in the State.
Good average soil should pro-
duce eight to ten bushels of
wheat per acre, while better soil
produces fifteen to twenty BUSH
els,
The wheat produced in this
section cannot be consumed at
home. 1t is true that we have
no flour mills near us, but the
wheat can be threshed and then

carried to a grist mill to be
ground. THIS product makes a
most wholesome and nutritious
food; in fact, it is more nutri-
tious than flour that has been
screened and bleached at flour
mills.
Why cant every farmer in the
county grow a small patch Of
wheat that can be utilized at
home, thereby saving the UNI
n e c e $ airy tt ansportatlon Of
bringing in flour from other
sections, which should go to feed
our soldiers and Allies i'll Franc?
Seed wheat is likely to be
scarce and more expensive later
in the season, and arrangements
for good seed should be made
Just as soon as possible, to avoid
the rush, and at the same time,
secure seed before prices ad-
vance.

Restricting German Activity.

Practically every Latin American
republic. with the exception of Sal
vador and Mexico, has made plain it's
stand on the European war The
center Of German activity in Latin
America is currently reported to be
in Salvador, but that country is so
closely surrounded by republics which
have either declared their allegiance
to the allies. or have so plainly mani
tested their sympathies, that German
agents in Salvador have been able to
do little except prepare safe places
on which similar agents, kicked out
Of other Spanish republics. may alight.
First real steps against the pro-Ger-
man prOpA ganla in Mexico were taken
in New Orleans in November, when
eight MeXicanS nominally represent

party. Wprp arrested.
