get to see lots Of beautiful country.
Lots of pretty places here bat things ara
some what different from what they
are in the states. The people ara
much different.
The railroads are all broad gauge.
We have . dandy train % wherever
we are We are always ut home.
Walden and I are still together.
Campbell was assigned to . Base
Hospital. Emerson and ! have got
separated. Believe me I was sure
glad to see him.
As for the duration Of the war We
have no idea. A person hears lots Of
stories but, of course, he tan only draw
his on conclusion. We get to see -iots
Of Americans who have seen service.
We were on the road last night; got
here about o'clock. think we
are going to leave. again this after.
noon. trlEl
Sure q dandy bunch of boys we ara
with. Some have been on the train
for several months. One Of the boys
yesterday received box Of candy from
the United States for Christmas, 20
I don't know when we will get our
mail. We have q chance to buy candy
and tobacco from the Y. N. C. A.
We got pay day last week. sure

money. Sure seems strange (theil
money! but It ID not hard to get uss

member. The only thing regret Il
I never studied History enought.
do hope you are all well. I don't
do much writing since ! came over

This country is sure Q beautiful
place. So many woods and greer
everywhere you look. I have seer
several fields Of alfalfa, lots Of oul
cottonwood trees like we have In The
yard; hickory. oak. walnut and 81
kinds. ~ 1.u ........ -.
OF course you would be surprises
to know what part Of the country We
are in and tomorrow perhaps we will
be moved. '',15.} ...
Now don't worry about me; Of course
there is chances for any Of Us getting
hurt but when q person sees and know
what Is going on it makes him PROUD
he Is an American and every one o.
US want to do our bit. Whatever ",
may be assigned to. sr.r.t. ...-,

IMPROVING THE
1918 WHEAT CROP
Top Dress With Manure and Fer
tilizer and Increase the
Yield.

The bureau OF crop estimates Of the
United States department Of sgricul.
ture reports an Increase OF four per
cent In the acreage OF fall-sown wheat.
as compared with that sown In the fall
of 1915. This would be highly en-
couraginE. were II not for the fnct
that much of this is In poor condition.
Is In fact ten per cent under the aver
age condition OF the last ten years. Un-
less the coming spring Is remarkably
favorable for the development OF win
ter wheat. the 1918 crop win be even
smaller than that Of 1917.
We have but one more chance for
increasing our f9fs bread-grain crop.
and this Is by top-dressing either with
ter case the work may be done Mt once.
the manure being spread thinly and
evenly. preferably with the manure
spreader. Manure so used protects
the wheat from winter injury. and af
the same time stimulates growth in
the cold weather OF early spring. Every
day gained at this season Is Just so
much crop insurance.
When fertilizer is-used IL must be
applied just as growth starts IN the
early spring. n Is then that available
plant food Is most needed, and when
II Is most efficient In causing the
plant to 'tiller out" and increase the
number Of seed-bearing stems. Ferti-
lizer used at this time may change
crop failure to crop success. and Is
certain to give results when the wheat
was sown late. or when It was sown
with an insufficient supply OF plant
food.

FOOD PRODUCTION ENDANGERED
BY FREIGHT EmBARGoEs.

During the last weeks OF December.
1917. absolute embargoes were placed
on rail shipments OF phosphate rock
from Florida. This fact was widely
reported In the daily press. yet few
people realized les true significance. IL
the embargo continues II will force the
closing Of many fertilizer factories all
over the United States, and will render
impossible maximum production OF
food crops so badly needed In these
times OF war. An embargo OF this kind.
necessary though It be. vitality affects
the handspring OF our national welfare.
The first big effect Of such an en-
barge Is to cause the closing OF all de-
partments Of many fertilizer plants.
However. the big effect Of this en-
barge on rock phosphate movement Ia
on the farm itself, where fer
tilixer is needed for the work of food
production Labor is short. greater
production can only be secured through
higher acre yields produced by using
what labor we have on land SO ferti-
liked as to make 1t productive. In this
light, then. continued embargo ON
rock phosphate, however necessary ii
may be from the transportation View
point, is great national calamity. II
affects both our agricultural produe-
ton and the ability of or country
to win the war speedily and certainly.
What can you do to helpi Many
| thingsl
Order spring supplies now~--fertilis-
ers and farm machinery; feeds and
seeds; lime, and other needed ma
| terials.
Unload as soon as the car arrives,
taking from the car whenever possible.
DO your part now, and trust that the
other man win also do his. This Is the
spirit OF true cooperation, and is the
only solution of difficulties caused by
freight congestion.

ASSIST GOVERNMENT BY
ORDERING ALL YOUR
FARM SUPPLIES NOW.

The great need Of the railroads Just
now is cars, and more cars-that II
may care for normal traffic and assure
the extra burden Of troop and NUM-
ton movements. But It cannot get
more cars over night. or tomorrow.
or the next day. Thus II must try
to make its cars carry more-make
one car do the work which two cars
did before the war. This Is where you
can help.
When a dealer gets an order for
farm supplies. machinery. feed or coal,
he holds 1t until he gets more to go
with tiff he has time. II you get yoar
orders in early this year. you will make
the dealer happy. facilitate transporta-
ton. aid the government. and help
yourself by lnsuring delivery before
the time when goods are leeded.
