August 10th as wheat will not pro-
duce a maximum yield unless the
ground Is firm and compact.
After the stubble field has been
plowed 1t should be dragged down
promptly to level and pulverize Il so
as to conserve the moisture. II should
then be disc-harrowed, then rolled
and finally narrowed. The better the
preparation the greater the yield and
every field must do its best.
Soy-bean and cow-pea fields must
be thoroughly finished by dragging
and rolling or the yield will be dis
appointing. Every field that grew to-
bacco this summer should be sown to
wheat this fall. as wheat does well
following tobacco. A tobacco field
that is not sown to wheat will be a
Stacker field.
Only the best seed wheat should be
sown and the rate of seeding should
be from one and half to two bushels
per acre. The Kentucky Experiment
Station has proven that the best va
riety is the Jersey Fultz. Wheat
should not be sown to deep. The
right depth is from one to one and
one half inches.
All seed wheat should be treated
with blue-stone or formalin to pre-
vent smut, because the wheat field
that fights for freedom harbors no
smut.
The field that needs phosphorus,
and this means every field in Ken
lucky except the richest in the Blue
grass region and some river bottom
lands, will be given application of
from 200 to 400 pounds of Acid
Phosphate, Steamed Bone Meal or
Basic Stag and the patriotic farmer
will order his fertilizer early. Wheat
drills should be put in first class con-
dition before sowing time and the
seeding should be carefully done to
prevent skips. Wheat seeding should
start on September 23rd in Northern
Kentucky; October LIST in Central
Kentucky and on October 10th in
Southern Kentucky Sown earlier
than this wheat is liable to be infect
ed with Hession Fly.
A field that fights for freedom will
be plowed with the utmost care in the |
full realization that every inch of
soil will be called upon to fight for
a righteous cause. No clods will be |
permitted in that field for clods are |
allies of the Kaiser, but the field will |
be pulverized and compacted to a |
firm, smooth seed-bed. The seed |
wheat will be treated with formalin |
or blue-stone to eXterminate smut, a |
plentiful supply of phosphate ferti-
lizer will be added to the soil, the |
wheat drill will be in perfect condi-
ton and operated with care so that |
there will be an even flow of wheat
and no skipped places, and, when the
labor in that field is completed, the
farmer will consign it to his Makers

shine and watered by the life-giving
rain and will go on his way rejoicing

WHEAT AT $500

Washington, Sept. BY procla-
nation issued today President Wilson
set $500 a bushel as the minimum
price guaranteed by the Government
for the 1919 wheat crop.
A disinterested commission, the
President stated, will be appointed
next spring to see whether the in
creased cost of farm labor and sup
plies would justify an increase above
that price.

Not all of the early-hatched pullets
will make good winter layers. An
early-hatched pullet that Is under
size at this season will never make a
good hen. A late-hatched pullet that
is well grown and developed at the
time of selecting the birds which
are to make up the winter laying
flock gives better promise than the
early Matched, poorly developed
pullet. If proper care is given it
should begin laying in mid-winter.
Don't waste feed on any except the
promising pullets. They should have
good care and good feed at all stages.
1t is impossible to grow pullets care
lessly and on short rations until they
reach the age when they should be
full-grown and mature, and then
bring them forward quickly by a
short course of good management.
The pullet that is worth keeping as
a layer is worth good care and full
rations all the time. One that is not
considered worth keeping should be
eaten or marketed. Understood birds
will not pay for the feed they eat
during the winter.

Strains of wheat and oats that are
superior to ordinary varieties have
been developed in cooperative cereal
experiments conducted by the United
States Department of Agriculture
and the New York State College OF
Agriculture. These experiments have
been in operation for about 10 years.
Many comparative tests conducted
in various parts of the State show
that the new strains make better
yields than ordinary varieties grown
under the same conditions. With
some of these strains sufficient seed
has been grown to make possible
rather wide distribution in the State.
and they are being grown this year
in large acreages.

Make Dairy Cows Prove Worth.

Every owner of dairy cows should
establish a definite standard, and all
COWS that do not measure up to the
requirements should be disposed of
for beef. Whether dairy COW should
be rejected or retained should de-
pend ordinarily on production, as
shown by the milk scales and the
BabcOck test.

Under normal conditions corn is,
in nearly all parts of the United
States the cheapest poultry feed. But
at times like the present oats are to
be preferred. When corn is worth
$3.50 bushel,, oats should be $0.75,
and barley $1.20 bushel to give the
same value for the money, when fed
to poultry, as corn.

Weeds result not only in big

It's Easy To Save Sweet Corn Seed.

It's Easy To Save Sweet Corn Seed.
A single ear of sweet corn will
furnish enough seed for a small
garden. Think how easy It is to save
the best ear you produced this year
for planting next spring when seed
may be hard to obtain! All that is re-
quired is to dry 1t thoroughly and
store 1t where II will not be injured.
But saving seed from the garden
should not be limited to sweet corn.
Seed from the best beans, peas, to-
matoes and other vegetables should
be selected this fall when they can be
obtained easily and the supply is a
bundant.

Keep Zinc Away
From Your Preserves
Do not use galvanized utensils in
making preserves. jellies, or fruit
juices, the Bureau of Chemistry of
Agriculture advises. Some of the
zinc with which the vessels are gal
vanized may be changed to salts of
zinc, which will give the product an
acrid and astringent taste and render
it unsuitable for human use. More
over, the dissolving of this zinc coat
ing tends to ruin the container. The
use of galvanized utensils for boiling
down fruit juices is especially risky.

Purchase Terms

Washington. Sept. 2I.-Ten per-
cent Of the Fourth Liberty loan sub
scFiptions will be required on appli-
cation instead of five per cent rs for
part loans, the treasury announced
today. Twenty per cent will be due
November 2I; rwentI percen DC-
ceTuber 10: twen v D~r cent January
I6;- and thirty per cent January 80.
This is the first time more than
three installments have been arrang-
ed in addition to the payment on ap-
plication for any liberty loan. The
initial payment was increased as a
means of discouraging the practice OF
some persons Of subscribing without
carrying out the installments.
The setting of the last installment
Of 30 per cent as late as January 30
was interpreted as assurance that
the Fifth Liberty loan would not be
floated before late in February or
possibly March.
The initial payment although due
at the time Of pledging, need not be
paid until October 19 the end Of the
subscription period Ind loan cam

The instalIment dates will not in
terfere with the practice by many
subscribers who have bought bonds
through banks or other agencies and
paid 10 per cent for a month for
approximately ten months. That ar
rangement, officials explained, is a
transaction between the bank and it's
customers and the treasury Is not
