One Of our good and publie-spir-
tied citizens makes the good sugges-
ton that we urge all farmers and
gardeners to save their seeds Of an
kinds for planting next year, as far
as practicable, especially bean and
pea seed. When the gardener pays
is cents a package for the bean
seed, he says, he is paying at the rate
of $50 per bashel for them. No one
will contract to sell bulk seed at less
than SIS per bushel and will not guar
antee full delivery at that price. Thou
sands of dollars of seeds are shipped
into Upton county every year which
could just as easily be saved right
here at home and with the seed thus
saved the gardener would know just
what he would have to plant. Let's
begin to plant home-saved seed and
thus help ourselves and have more
money to help win the war.

ENDORSES JUDGE ROBERTS

Judge Roberts is undoubtedly the
choice Of a majority of the people
for governor, and we say this without
any purpose to disparage the eharac-
ter and worth Of the other two cam
didates. The people Of the state have
somehow made up their minds that
Judge Roberts is the man, and the
holding of a primary at a cost of
S250,000 to enable Mr. Peay and Mr..
Shropshire to find out that fact would
be so costly a piece of folly that it
is inconceivable that either Of these
gentlemen should consent to it. They
should, they must, find a way to set
tie the issue between them without
the formality of this senseless and
costly primary-the welfare of the
state and the effective prosecution of
the nations war aims requiring it.
Let's carry out the presidents re-
quest and "adiourn politics" until

AS TO THE WHEAT CROP

The Fayette Falcon wisely advises
every farmer in that county to "ar-
range right now to plant two acres
Iof wheat to every one-horse crop on
his place this fall" and we want to
advise the farmers of Upton county
in like manner, as the same con-
'ditions exist in Upton as in Fayette
county.
"Many in the county with foresight
last fall planted wheat" says the
Falcon, "and they are now harvesting
one of the best wheat crops grown
in this county in many a year. There
may not be a profit in growing
wheat, but if it is not grown you
can bet your bottom dollar we viii
have mighty few biscuits in this coun-
try next year The wheat q own in
The wheat belt is needed to feed the
boys in camp and in the trenches,
and they must have theirs even if
the rest of us go hungry. And again,
the railroads must not be taxed haul
ing wheat and flour to us in this
country when their every energy is
needed to haul necessary war mate
rails and equipment If we raise our
own wheat we save that in the wheat
belt for the armies and save the
railroads being called on to haul to
us; and lastly, we provide ourselves
with wheat bread we would most
likely do without unless the wheat is
grown. Pick rich spot now and get
it ready to sow wheat in October or
November, and assure yourself of
enough to feed your family"

To Our Friends in Dear Old Upton:
1--WE are in the shipyard service here,
trying to do our bit for Uncle Sam.
This is great work. We are work
ing on ship that is about completed,
and we think it will slide into the
water about July a. From the deck
OF the ship we are on we can see
seven others under way of eonstruc-
tor. Three more are in the yard We
are working in and four in neigh
boring yard.
Although we are getting along nice
ly here, we can't forget old Upton
county, especially districts 5 and 6.
The people are very nice to us, but it
is not home after all. We 60 to
