Settled Their Nationality.

A group of newspaper men were
waiting in the lobby of the st. Regis
TO interview newly arrived celebrity.
TO pass the time they began trying to
determine the nationality of the people
who came in the hotel. Presently
woman and two young boys entered.
The boys wore, English fashion. heavy
soled shoes and short stockings, their
calves bare.
English" said the scribes in a
breath.
But the group seated and began to
talk in German. They were round
faced, fair-haired, and spoke German
perfectly. "They're French" said one
reporter. 1.-THE French all speak Ger
man." and it looked like he was right,
for the group suddenly began to talk
I'm French.
Suddenly man came out of dining
room. The two boys saw him and
yelled: "Hello!" That settled it. They
were Americans. Only young America
says "hello" to his elders.-New York

KEEN DEMAND FOR RAMS
"Buy Early" ls Tip Being Given to
Michigan FIockmas-
ters

East Lansing, Mich.-In the light OF
the exceptionally heavy demands made
this season for Michigan rams. the
word "buy early" is being passed to
shepherds and farm flock owners with
in the state.
"It Is advisable now" according tn
Verne A. Freeman of the M. A. @. ex-
tension staff, ito look up and buy or
contract for q ram TO use this fall. II
Is necessary to look into this matter
early. because Of the unusual demand
which of late has developed for Michi-
gan sires. Western flock managers, who
as q rule have seemed more keenly
aware of the value of a good ram in
breeding up a flock, are already pur-
chasing and carrying out of the state
many Of the rams we will need.
"Under the circumstances, the man
who wits until the last minute this
season Is liable to be out Of luck, and
of rocket. The early buyers will also
have the advantage of being able TO
secure the best animals.
"The first opportunity should be
grasped to select and purchase strong,
vigorous and purebred rams for serv-
ice this fall. II you have all the good
young ewes you can carry next year
and plan to sell all your lambs. select

ArtI..yphold Vaccine Urged.

DIR. A. G. Guillaume. writing In la
Nature, insists that vaccination against
typhoid be made as small pox in the
civil population, as II Is already In the
armies and navies Of all civilized peo-
pies.
He bases this demand on the virtual
elimination Of typhoid from the fight
ing forces OF the world. although these
have for three years been exposed to
conditions ideal for infection.
The death rate from typhoid in the

Spring Glover Seedlings Seed with
June clover or red and alslke clover
mixture as soon as winter breaks.
Early spring seedlings give best re-
suits on all except light soils which
are inclined to blow. On these. April
or May seedlings give better results.
Joint Worm.-Avold planting wheat
where extensive joint worm damage
has been noted this season. Plant oats
or barley next year instead.
Rosen rye has changed our ideas In
regard to the place of rye on Michi-
gan farms. Owing to it's high yield
this variety has brought rye into areas
where IT was not before grown. There
is now an ample supply of this variety
TO plant the entire state, with sur
plus to answer outside demands
These are coming not only from ad-
Joining states but from Washington,
Georgia. Maryland, Virginia and South
Carolina. In all these states recent
trials with the Rosen have given mark
ed results. On the soils not adapted
to wheat or where the joint worm has
been noted, great extension Of the
rye acreage is warranted.
Coming Through" With Rye.
Variety-The cross-pollinated fyes
should be eradicated. The variety
known as "Rosen" is superior. Rye is
like corn In that varieties In adjOin-
ing fields may mix through cross-pol-
lination. Care must be taken not to
plant Rosen rye near common rye. Un-
like oats, wheat and barley, which are
self-fertifized and will mix by cross
ing, rye is open-pollinated and cross
fertilizes to q great extent
Soil Preparation.-Early blowing.
thorough packing and frequent harrow
ing is the formula TO secure firm.
well-worked seed bed. Clean corn
land or bean land needs disking only.
Rye responds to proper treatment but
will do better on a poorly prepared
seed bed than wheat.
Fertilizer-Acid phosphate at the
rate OF 200 pounds, and manure disked
In after blowing or as q top dressing
In late fall or early winter are best.
There is u prevailing idea that rye
does not need as much fertilizer as
other crops, but try it and see how
well this so-called poor land crop" re-
spends to good feeding.
Seed Treatment-Fan thoroughly
and discard seed badly infected with
ergot.
Time of Planting.-Early September
paintings are recommended, though
rye can be planted later than wheat
with assurance OF success. Good
yields are frequently secured from mid
October seedlings.
During a recent trip by the writer
through st. Joseph, Branch and Cal
houn counties, Rosen rye was visible
in all these districts. The remarkable
rapidlty Of the spread OF this rye
proves it's great worth. II was dis
tributed from the plats of Plant Breed
er F.. A. Spragg of the Michigan Agri-
cultural college In 1910 through the
agency Of the Michigan Crop Improve
ment association and county agents
throughout the state, and has become
standard crop In many counties.
While the Red Rock wheat has not
come into use quite as rapidly, its rec
ord during the past two years has
proved it to be the leading variety in
Michigan. These two varieties can
do more than any others towards help

East Lansing, Mich.-For many
Michigan wheat and rye growers the
past season was a dlscouraging one.
Some were inclined TO forget the sue
cessful yields which good methods
bring forth during average Michigan
seasons and not infrequently announce
their intention to grow spring grains
In place of these much needed fall
planted grains. In certain cases where
winter grains are not adapted or where
seed beds cannot be prepared for plant
Ing, such change may be advisable,
but during these war days, we must
have more wheat and more rye than
ever before. To accomplish this the
knowledge and practice of every expe-
rienced wheat and rye grower is need
ed, and before any drop out Of the
ranks let us hope that they will consid-
er the following points:
1. The past dlscouraging season was
an abnormal one, the most severe re-
corded by the weather bureau. 1t is
not likely that another will come for
many years.
2. The great majority of those who
planted Rosen rye, Red Rock wheat
and other hardy strains at a sufficient
ly early date, on well prepared seed
beds, secured good yields during even
the past season.
3. A half-century Of wheat and rye
growing has proved Michigan's fitness
for these crops. Thirty years ago our
acreage was nearly double what IT Is
today. At present prices wheat and
rye are again profitable.

the war. Our boys abroad win out be-
cause they are drilled TO come back

been compared with other varieties on
the farms In Michigan, Red Rock has
proved to be the most resistant 10 win

a milling wheat it is of the highest
quality grown in Michigan.
Soil preparation.-Early blowing,
thorough packing and frequent har-
rowing to secure a firm-worked seed
bed mean half the battle of wheat
growing.
Fertilizer-The use OF 200 to 300
pounds OF acid phosphate per acre ap-
piled at the time of drilling gives a
marked increase. A good dressing of
manure, disked or narrowed In after
blowing and preparing the seed bed.
and applied as a light top dressing in
late fall or early winter, goes a long
way toward preventing winter killing
and greatly increases the fall crop.
On acid soils lime should be used not
only for its effect on the wheat but
particularly because 1t means good
clover with the wheat.
Mulchlng.-A light top dressing with
st-awy manure or straw in late fall or
early winter is advisable where winter
killing is likely.
Seed atment.-Thorough clean
ing with a tanning mill removes light
scabby kernels and most weed seeds.
Formaldehyde treatment insures free
dom from smut. Treatment is as fol-
lows: Use formalin or formaldehyde
solution at the rate of one pint for

Of this period Il should then be spread
out for few hours airing. It may be
sown at once, or stored In clean or dis
infected sacks after a thorough airing.
II should not be held In storage for
many days.
Planting Time.-Late planting Is dis
astrous in Michigan. A great major
ity Of failures during the past season
was due largely 20 late planting In the
fall II is important that both wheat
and rye be planted early to secure
good top before winter sets in. In
southern and central Michigan wheat
should be planted before September

Michigan previous to September 10.

THOUSANDS IN EVERY STATE OF

Many Marshailtown People Toll Of
Quick Relief Given in Stomach,
Kidney and Liver Ills.

High in the Rocky Mountains ex-
plorers have discovered plants that
have such medicinal properties that
they are valuable asset to the nation.
Thousands in every state in the Union
have already been aided by their use.
Altho these plants have been growing
for years. 1t remained for the great
Tanlac laboratories to promote their
use and place them within easier reach
Of mankind.
BY a series Of experiments it was
ascertained that the juice OF herbs dis
covered in the Rockies contained val
liable tonic properties. The makers Of
Tanlac have combined these tonic pro-
perties with plants fro mother coun-
tries in order to produce medicine Of
wide merit for general family use.
Africa Contributes.
From. allen s:hc River Nile are ;i::
ported leaves recognized for their in
iuenoe upon the liver. From great pine
forests are gathered substances recog-
nized for relieving catarrh. From the
frozen regions of the north come those
for digestion. The natives Of these
countries are known TO rtheir ability
to digest fats that would send a
dweller Of temperate country to an
early grave, the victim of acute dys-
pepsia.
Fro mthe West Indies and tropics
come harmless ingredients that soothe
the nerves. even as Nature has soothed
them with continuous sunshine. The
experience told by people living right
here in Marshaiitown, where each and
every statement can be verified, should
convince the most skeptical that Tan
lac is a remedy OF merit.
Tanlac is sold and recommended by
Mcbride & Wills and all other first
