Early Flowing Increases Wheat Yield.

Early blowing is necessary to make
the best seed bed for wheat. For best
results the blowing should be done
in July, and certainly not later than
the middle of August. This allows the
soil to crumble and settle before it is
disked and narrowed in final prepare

beneficial i~n.four ways. ID Organic

Nj. P. U. Company Attempting to Raise
Rates for Electric Service.
tThe Lead Belt News

fIllc Ieau bcll NEWS
The Missouri Public Utilities Co,
which furnishes electric current for
all Of the Lead Belt towns, has made
application to the State Public Ser.
vice Commission to increase the
rates for the service furnished this
district.
The commission has appointed
Special Examiner Duffy to conduct
a hearing on his proposition in Fiat
River, July Is. .
On account of lack of organization,
the citizens of the unincorporated
Lead Belt towns are handicapped in
this question which is of such vital
Importance to every consumer OF cur
rent. This handicap can be overcome
by the citizens in the towns affected,
immediately getting busy by mass
meetings Or otherwise, and appoint
ing committees to investigate the light
question 80 that they may be intelli.
gently represented at the hearing to
be held in Flat River.
Flat River has already taken such
action. Messrs. Henry Rinkle, j. U.
White and Henry Schram, have been
appointed to represent Flat River,
and are already busy securing in.
formation on the light question. Some
time between nov and July 10, a
meeting should be held at which all
the towns interested should be rep.
resented.
Just why the NJ. r. U. Company
should consider that they are entitled
to an increase In rates Is not apparen,
on the surface Of the situation. Under
their contract with the st. JOSEPH
