What is Expected
 of the Farmers

l the farmers timely advice in his week fly letter just issued. Last year big food crop was called for and Ala bama's production exceeded all ex- pectations. The money value of the crops was far greater than in any previous year--in Alabama greater by something like $35O.oOo,ooO than the total of 1917.
 We must have still larger produc- tion this year. Commissioner Wade places the corn crop goal at 100000 loco bushels. A new high record was made last year when Alabama's corn output reached about 75,000,000 bushels. With increased planting and favorable weather conditions, the Ala
 bama corn yield should not fall a
 bushel under the hundred million mark.
 1 MT. Wade thinks Alabama should
 raise i,5O0,00O tons of velvet beans
 and 1O,00O,OO0 bushels of peas grown
 with the corn. To do this,' he says, the farmer will have to plant hals
 of his crop in corn, beans and peas.
 There was not much fall blowing and for that reason it will be necessary for the land to be plowed this win ,ter and plowed and narrowed again in the spring to make the cultivation
 easier and the yield the best. Every
 blow should be employed when the
 present freezing spell is over.
 The commissioner has set the states
 figures for hay at 100000 tons, and for peanuts 40,OO0,00O tons. He ad- vises that where the land is sandy
 loam, one-fourth of the farmers crop should be in peanuts. One or two tons of ground limestone per acre on peanut land, will assure very large yield.
 As to cotton, MT. Wade recommends
 the planting of about one-fourth ot the farm crop in the flcecy staple : Early varieties should be planted moderately early. The soil should be we'll prepared, of course, and should : be fertilized literally. When the plants are about six inches high, all E Iweevils should be picked and de stroyed. If you see," says Mir. Wade,

As I couldn't read, I began to look
 about for someone to talk to. I had
 no notion of being alone with my dull
 thoughts. I began with a 12-year-old
 lad at my side. He insisted on raising
 the window at each station, and put
 ting head and shoulders out to take in
 20 times. but I wouldn't have inter- cred with his pleasure for anything. It
 was a great adventure he was making I sat mute while the damp air floated in although I was sure it meant a husky throat for the morrows speak ing. I wanted that boy to get his full
 moneys worth, and he did; and finally. when he saw that was a real human being who knew about boys. he un- bosomed himself and told me about his rifle and his school and his little joys.
 I was reaylly sorry when he got off It's a good idea to make friends with boys. 1 I then tackled rural mail carrier They always know lot worth know 1 ing concerning the men, women and | things along their route.

tuberculosis Campaign.

Arrangements to conduct an active
and aggressive campaign against tu-
berculosis in Montana, and to provide
for the care and rehabilitation of per-
sons and especially soldiers, afflicted
with the disease, were outlined at the
meeting in Helena last week of the
Montana Association for the Proven
ton of Tuberculosis. The Importance
of this work was seen by the dele
gates to be of far more consequence
than had been apprehended by them
before they listened to an address by
DR.. David Lyman. president of the
American tuberculosis commission to
France and president of the American
tuberculosis association, who recently
returned from France. His address
was supplemented by one delivered by
Mrs. Elsie White, field director in the
northwest of the home service divi-
sion of the American Red Cross, who
spoke on Tuberculosis as Factor in
Home Service"

COUNTY FUEL DEMANDS
BEING CHECKED OVER
Administrator Gerry Says Those Who
Do Not Register May Have
Supply Cut Off.

Helena.-Definite information re
garding the fuel demands OF every
county in Montana are being ascer-
tanned by the state fuel administra-
ton. Registration of retail dealers
and wholesale coal consumers will be
completed in a few weeks, according
to State Fuel Administrator M. H.
Gerry, Jr., and when this is done the
approximate fuel needs Of every COM
munity will be known. This informa-
ton will play a prominent part in the
distribution of coal. The amount OF
coal to be shipped to each county Will
depend largely upon the estimates
made from data supplied by those en-
gagged in the coal business and by
those who buy in large quantities
from producers and from representa-
tives of mines.
st is hard to impress the necessity
for registration upon retail coal deal
ers and wholesale consumers, says
Mr.. Gerry. "There are many people in
Montana who have always managed to
get along in the matter of fuel and
they do not realize the seriousness of
the situation. The mines are now far
behind with orders. Fortunately, do
nestle consumers have done their best
to fill their cellars and bins, but there
have been and still are questions in
volved in the fuel distribution that
have made and are making it impos-
sible to get the best results. These
conditions must all be adjusted. Reg
istration of retail dealers and whole
sale consumers will play prominent
part in eliminating some of these diff
ficulties.
'Only those who are registered will
be able to buy coal in carload lots
from mines and distributors, which
will give the state administration bet
ter control of the coal business"
Administrator Gerry says that retail
dealers and wholesale consumers who
have not registered should apply to
the state fuel administration without
delay, as otherwise they may find
themselves with their coal supply
shut off.

SHORTAGE OF CARS HITS
MONTANA SHEEP RAISERS
Lambs and Ewes Separated and Are
Being Held at Loading Places
at Lose to Owners

Helena.-Due to the fact that the
railroad administration has permitted
double decked cars to be diverted to
other parts of the country, scores OF
Montana sheepmen, who have separat-
ed their lambs from the ewes and al
ready are holding them at loading
points, are facing heavy loss be-
cause of the shortage of equipment. 1t
is said the situation has never before
arisen in the history of the sheep bust
ness in Montana.
The Northern Pacific is short from
500 to 600 cars of this type in Montana
alone, orders for which were placed
with the railroad as far back as July.
The Montana railroad commission has
wired the federal administration fol
relief, and A. v. Brown, general SUI
perintendent, has gone to st. Paul to
present the matter personally.

Schools Cannot Get Teachers.

Hundreds of Montana boys and
girls, living in the rural districts of
the eastern part of the state, will be
deprived of an opportunity to go to
school this year because of shortage
of teachers, according to Miss May
Trumper, state superintendent of pub
lie instruction.
The rural schools where the short
age is most acute are in Sheridan,
Valley, Dawson and Custer counties
and indications are that many of the
schools will have to remain closed all
year.
With so many teachers going into
war work, the training of new ones
has not kept pace with the demands,
and the rural schools have been the
first to feel the effects of this situa-
ton. The best rural teachers have
obtained positions in city schools, in
structors in the more remote districts
have secured more attractive positions
ynd consequently those schools most
remote from the towns have suffered
the most.
