SOW WHEAT EARLY.
Safeguard the Spring Wheat Crop by
Sowing Early and by Using the
Early-Maturing Varieties.

With spring wheat so important as n
source of war food his year, every pos
sible precaution should be taken to
safeguard this crop. Early sowing and
the use of early-maturing varieties, the
specialists of the U. s. Department Of
Agriculture point out, are the best
safeguards. Early sowing gives this
plant the advantage of the cool weather
of early spring most favorable to its
growth. and affords the best protection
against rust, which develops rapidly
when the weather is both hot and moist
and amid the droughts, hot winds and
hailstorms of summer.
Sowing on land prepared in the fall
should begin just as soon as the frost
is thoroughly out and the ground dry
enough to be worked. Seeding should
be continued as rapidly as possible. blu
no longer than for "A period of about
four weeks After this period wheat
production usually is not profitable. In
general. yields will decrease directly
with the lateness of seeding. A clean,
deep and firm seed bed is important,
but no more important than early seed
ing. The actual date varies somewhat,
of course, in different years n gener-
ally in different parts of he country
in different seasons.

The above missive, written by Orson
H. Hunter. son of Mr.. and Mrs. S. G.
Hunter of Saratoga, is quite a novelty,
having been written by the young man
while in an aeroplane in the clouds
above the city of Lawton, Okla.
Orson is a member of Uncle Sans
Fourth Aero Squadron, stationed at
Fort Sill. Okla, and is rapidly getting
in line for active service as an air
pilot. The penmanship in the original
Of the note reproduced above was some
what wobbly in spots, but easily read
throughout. In his letter which accom-
panied the above ''aerogram," he says !:
Well folks. what think you of my
aerial penmanship? Some class, isn't
it: went up for "A Commute ride to-

were up just the other side of Lawton
and were trying to get above the
clouds. We skirted through the bot
tom of one, then tried to get up high
enough to get over the next one. We
were high enough so that / could see
the tops of all those around (about
300 feet the pilot said), but the next
one was just too high and we hit it
about the middle. l wrote that note
just as we got through the cloud. 1

Wheat Growers Will be Al
lowed to Grind Sea-
sons Supply

North Carolina farmers who were
patriotic and wise enough to raise
their own wheat will be allowed to
have an entire seasons supply of
-four ground after October 1st. Until
that time just sufficient supply to
last, but after Oct. 1 the require
ments of a farmer for his household
and for tenants or other dependents
whom he constantly supplies until
the next harvest. may be ground.
The maximum measure of consump-
ton of flour from the new crop of
wheat for wheat products will be II
instead of lbs. as is now the case,
for each person.
The food administrator was COM
PEELED to make drastic rules follow
Ing the distribution and grinding of
wheat of the 1917 crop on account
of military necessity and civilian
population. Farmers living more
than three miles from a mill in
North Carolina we're allowed to Sc
cure their supplies up to 80 days,
thus North Carolina farmers have
suffered little inconvenience.

CASUALTIES FOR YEAR MAKE
TOTAL OF 8OS5

Washington June 16.-Seven hun
dred and seventy casualties report
ed among the American expedition
airy forces during the week ending
today brought the total since Amer
lean troops first landed in France
nearly a year ago to 8,Oe5.
The second weekly summary of
casualties issued today by the war
department shows that the total
number of deaths from ali causes is
1892, while 1913 men have been
wounded in action, including all men
held in Germany.
The summary, which includes to-
days list, follows:
Killed in action (incIuding 291 at
sea- 1,172.
Died of wounds, 1854.
Died of disease, 1924.
Died of accident and other causes,
1925.
Wounded in action, 4547.
Missing in action QncIuding pris-
oners) $40.
Total casualties reported to date,
$685..
With more than 100000 soldiers
sent overseas, officials pointed to the
small number, 291, lost thru opera
tons of German submarines as
showing the effectiveness of the con-
VOy system.
The men lost were on the torpe
doed British steamers Tuscania and
Moldavia The former was taking
troops from America TO England and
the latter from England to France.
The comparatively small number
of men dying from wounds is point
ed to as indicating the efficiency of
the ambulance and hospital systems,
while the fact that 1924 men died
of disease is accepted as proof of the
excellent physical condition OF Amer
ica's fighting men.
Another satisfying consideration
is that of the wounded men very
high percentage return to duty at
the front in less than six weeks.
