Kanred Wheat
The White Z

Several years ago the Kansas Ex-
pertinent Station decidede to make an
effort to develop a higher producing
strain of wheat by head selection.
From the thousands of heals selected
several strains were developedwhich
we're better than the ordinary wheat,
but the one that has given the best
-asults in the hard wheat section of
the state is the variety known as
''Kanred."
In ffty-four cooperative tests
with farmers in the hard wheat sec
ton of Kansas, Kanred has averaged
over four bushels per acre more than
he local variety. During its entire
history, Kanred has outyielded Tur-
-ey in SO out Sc tests; it has out
yielded the Kharkof in 81 out of So
tests, and it has outyieleded the local
variety in 40 out of 81 tests.
Since this was developed from one
head of wheat, naturally the amount
of this wheat in existence is limited,
but think what It will mean to Paw
nee county, when everybody in the
county sows only Kanred wheat. Pro-
baby ten thousand bushels of it will
be produced in Pawnee county this
year, and everyone should try to get
a few bushels of it for a start.--EX.

to do this it was necessary that the

To the Young Women of the United
States


Statement by General Gorgas IN
relation to the Nursing Campaign un
der the direction of the Woman's
Committee, Council of National De
fense.
81 want every young woman in the
country, every woman between nine
teen and thirty-five, to read carefully
what l have to say, and to give It
earnest attention. 1t is a message
which every girl ought to welcome be-
cause 1t tells of an opportunity to help
the nation.
The Army and the country face a
shortage of nurses.
The Army alone will require some
thing like twenty-five thousand nurs-
es by the first of next January We
have secured about thirteen thousand
of this number; we need twelve thous-
and more. We have got to have
them or the army will run short a-F
this would be an outcome incredible
and intoIerable to the American peo-
pie
Only graduate nurses who have
been through the full course of train
ing are available for this high ser
vice. These, nurses have to be taken
out of the hospitals and from care
OF the SICK AT nome I1lS means C1dC
when we recruit our full quota for
the army, their places in the civil
communities must be filed. Hence,
this call for student nurses--to fill
the vacancies, prepare for profession
al service, and meanwhile to make it
possible for our hospitals, both civil
and military, to carry on, and for the
American people to hold the health
standards of the country as high as
they have ever been held in times of
peace.
If / were a young woman and
wanted to do my country the great
est service in my power, I should go
at once to the nearest recruiting sta
tion of the Woman's Committee of
the Council of National Defense and
enroll in the United States Student
Nurse Reserve. This enrolment
would at once make ne a candidate
for the Army Nursing School Or for
one OF the civilian training schools
for nurses. l cannot conceive of
more valuable service, more woman
ly service. l can give every girl who
enrolls in the Reserve my personal
assurance that she is making herself
count, and l should be ashamed of
any woman who did not long with all
her neart and soul to make herself
count in the defeat of Germany"

| singing is forec3sted by a bulletin
which has Just been sent to every
state councils section of the Council

The program calls for the appoint
ment of Q State musical director IN

of the Wom2ns' Committee. Through
! the county and community councils
of defence the State musical director
viii bring about the creation of local

Existing chOIrs, choruses, glee clubs,
and musical associations will be util-
lied wherever possible.
The Liberty choruses will sing at
all patriotic mass meetings and public
gatherings of every sort, and no eff
fort will be spared to use them as a
means of making the people of every
community learn the songs of our Ma
tion and its allies and learn to get to-
gether and sing them.
A singing army cannot be defeat
ed. The object of the Council of Ma
ton Defense is to make the United
States, throughout this war and after
wards, what it has never been before
"a singing paticn. The feeling of
the council is that the widest exten-
sion of organized singing will not on
ly be of great service in assisting the
organized speaking campaigns of the
State councils of defense--a result
which 1t has already had in states
which have experimental with it--but
will unite the people of every COM
