Seeding: Care should be exer-
cised in having the drill in coed
running condition and adjusted to
obtain a uniform depth of cover
ing to insure betttr germinatit n.
Wheat should al ways be sown
with 2 drill as it insures a more
uniform depth of covering.
Seed Selection: The selection
of seed is an important means Of
increasing the yield of wheat and
this factor in wheat production
should receive the most careful
attention of every farmer. That
lie paws well to use lerge and
plumb seeds has been shown in
the results secured in numerous
lexperimei Is.
Fertilizing the Soil: Top dress
ing with manure, either at seed
ing time or during the winter, is
to be recommended, wherever
manure can be had. Both the
physical condition Of 'he soil and
the plart food conditions can be
greatly benefited by a judicious
use of barn and green manures
However these sources o. fertil-
Iity mu be supplemented by com
mercial fertilizers, to supply the
plant food tina. is obtained in in.
sufficient quantities by manure.
Probably no Ger, al crop will re-
spond to commercial fertilizers
better than wheat. Under pres
cent conditions of the fertilizer
market, potash can be secured in
only small amounts and both it
and nitrogen have become almost
prohibitive in p' ice Considering
these conditions. il pays best in
most cases to simply to use zoe
to 800 pounds per acre of high
grade acid phosphate mixture.

New Food Rulings Of Importance 10
ROUsekeepcrs.

Inasmuch as the Federal De-
partment has deemed it advisable
to reduce the estimated allotment
of sugar for the State of Indiana
by 100000 pounds it has become
necessary for the State Depart
ment to pro rate this reduction
among the consumers of the
State. This has been done by a
ruling issued this week limiting
the amount Of canning sugar
that each family may procure to
12R pounds per capita. The
means that some OF the people in
the county have already procured
their allott d amount. and Will
find il impossible to get further
sugar for canning purposes.
The new sugar crop does not
come into the United States un-
til the first of Oct. to the first of
Dec and it is anticipated that
that time there will Ebe a heavy
supply of sugar for distribution
in the States. and this will not
necessitate the lose Of any fruit
jucies or anything of the kind,
because fruit juices can be put
up into sealed cans and CONVERT
Cd in,o jelly aid other food pro-
ducts when the 81 ga Lecomes
az ailable.
Now this is a patriotic plea: Do
not allow fruit juices to go to
waste, because Of lack of sugar,
but put them up in sealed con-
tainers so that you can convert
them into edible food stuffs when
sugar becomes available.
The Feders | Food Administra-
ton does not sanction and will
not issue permits for sugar 10 be
used in the manufacture of
wines.
