on the present contract price the
American farmers would receive

FOREIGN CANE INTERESTS
Is It any wonder that, the repre-
sentatives of these foreign cane in
terests should do everything in their
power to cripple the sugar beet in
dustry. even to the extent of camou-
fiaging the growers by sowing the
seeds of discord and discomfort. US

industry-the sugar beet, which is
the richest and most profitable field
crop grown in America.
Every ton of beet sugar produced
means one ton less of cane sugar i'm

AS a rotation crop the sugar beet
will add much to the fertility of the
soil for succeeding crops as the value
of the sugar produced.
This Is a broad statement. but 1t is
amply demonstrated in the older

Surgical Dressing Work.

Some skeptical people, who usually
aren't doing anything themselves, think
that the production of surgical dress
Ings by patriotic women Is being over
done. If they could see conditions In
some OF the French villages, where
not single able-bodied man remains,
they would not feel so.
In these colossal battles, where hum
dreds Of thousands of men are en-
gagged, all previous wars and needs are
outclassed. A great many men are
wounded In these battles. With
prompt care and abundant material
handy, the vast majority of the wound
ed are saved.
Vast storehOuses should be filed in
France at all times for this need. A
Red Cross doctor who recently return
ed from France reports case of SOL
der so badly wounded that 1t took
whole case Of dressings to save him.
Under the strain Of such demands, a
great mountain of supplies will quick
ly melt away.-Virginia Enterprise.

Every pound of wheat requires an
average of $50 to 500 pounds of water
to carry 1t from planting to maturity
Early blowing and frequent working
Of the seeded helps to retain soil
moisture. A light narrowing or disk
ing early In the spring cultivates the
wheat and forms a soil mulch that pre-
vents the escape Of winter rains so
needed by the wheat when filling and
ripening. Experiment stations have
found that wheat, well supplied with
available plant food or growing on
rich soils, can produce bigger crop
with less moisture than 1t can on a
poor soil or on one not well supplied
with available plant food. Wheat on
rich soils continues to grow even II the
supply Of moisture is scanty. Sup
plying available plant food to wheat
enables it to produce larger yields on
the same amount of water. This is
especially important when the rain
fall is below normal.
Organic matter holds water like a
sponge and releases 1t to the wheat for
termination.

FINE, FIRM AND FERTILE
Should Be the Condition Of the Wheat
Seeded to Insure MAXI
mum Yields.

A fine, firm, fertile early prepane'
seeded insures the largest ere -of
best quality wheat. When wheat fol.

vested crop, pillow the land from to
9 inches deep as soon as the proceed
ing crop is removed and work down
each half days blowing before leav.
ing the field. Harrow or disk the field
after every rain or as often as crust
FORMS until seeding time to kill weeds
and to retain the soil moisture.
Ideal seeded preparation consists
In disking, blowing, again disking and
narrowing. Up-to-date farmers are
following this system especially when
there is considerable organic matter
to be plowed under. Always cut up
coarse material before turning 1t In
the furrow, otherwise 1t interrupts the
movement Of moisture upward, max.
Ing an air space which allows drying
out. BY blowing early and maintain.
Ing a soil mulch, moisture Is retained
which favors quick termination. From
one to several weeks will be gained

 There were four classes in the sheep shearing contest, hand and machine shearing for men over IS years and hand and machine shearing for boys under IS years. Prizes of $10, $6, $4 and S2 were offered in each of the classes. The prizes were awarded on the following points: Speed 40, quality 40, handling sheep 20.
 The judges operating were Herry Dorrance, president of the Windha1o county farm bureau; Ray L. Harding, well known sheepman and Devon breeder of Lyme, and Assistant Coun- ty Agent R. J. Whitman.
 Promptly at Il o'clock the contest started and in II minutes H. l..

As it weighs hundreds of pounds it was inn possible for anyone to lift the bomb and carry it to safety. It was even dangerous for anyone to go to that part of the ship, as the seas were washing over the stern As the off, eers and crew watched the bomb some one shouted: "The pins come out Realizing the danger, Mackenzie, ex- claiming, Watch me; I'll get it,' dashed down upon the charging cylinder. Three times he almost had his arms about the bomb, but each time it tore from him, once almost
 crushing him. The fourth time he got firm grip on it and heaved it upright on one flat end. Then he sat on it and held it down. The charge might have broken loose again and exploded at any moment, blowing Mackenzie to bits, but he held on firmly until lines could be run to him and man and depth bomb safely lashed Sooh afterwards rhe ship was headed up into the sea and the charge car ried to a place of safety.
 The commanding officer of the Remlik, in his report recommended that the medal of honor be conferred on Mackenzie, says:
 Mackenzie, in acting as he did, ex- posed his life and prevented a serious accident to the ship and probable loss of the ship and entire crew Had this depth charge exploded on the quarter deck With the sea and wind that ex- isteG at the time there is no doubt that the ship would have been lost

Many Instruments Needed in Equip
 ping Fighting Planes.

Before an airplane can be put into military serveice it must be equipped with at least nine delicate aeronautic instruments, some of which are abso- lutely essential to exact flying, and all contribute to the successful opera tion of a plane. One gives the pilot his location as to height and direction; others tell his speed through the air, the speed of his propeller, the amount of gasoline carried, water tempera- ture, operation of the oiling system, and guide his banking" on turns. Another necessary article is the oxy- gen supplying apparatus. without which an aviator could not climb to any great height.
 For operation Of actual combat planes, such as observer, photo
 graphing, bombing, and fighting planes, other complicated and ex- pensive instruments and sets of ap- | paratus are necessary. Among them are machine guns, gun mounts, bomb racks, bomb dropping devices bomt
 -ights, radio and photographic ap-
 paratus, electrically heated clothing lights and flares. These bring the to-
 tai cost of equipment for an airplane ] to several thousand dollars each, de- pending upon the type of plane,

Manufacture of Unnecessary Farm
 Machinery May Be Dropped.
 Nearly 1000 types. and sizes of farm implements which have been gradually developed by manufacturers during peace-tine competition have been rec commended for elimination during the war by committees of the National Implement ond Vehicle Association. The object, according to a statement by the Council of National Defense, is to conserve materials, labor, capi- tai, and manufacturing facilities for war use.
 In the report of the committee meetings to the commercial economy board of the Council of National De- fense it was stated that no machinery recommended for discard was believed to be necessary to modern economical agriculture. The lines considered by the committee consisted of steel and chilled blows, grain driNs, seeders, ] and other tillage implements and farm elevators.
 Such of the recommendations as the board deems suitable, with others from | different sources, are being brought to i the attention of all implement manu- lecturers and jobbers, and as many retail dealers as may be reached. l through Guestionaires.
