SOME STREET CAR STORIES.

Move up, please" yelled the
pleasant-voiced conductor. No re-
sponse. and then came this hu-
manitarian plea:
For the sake Of your fellow
man, won't you move up front?
The crowd got the point and
surged forward.
2. A car filled with passengers
whose work lies on or near Penn
sylvania avenue rounded Wash
ington Circle shortly before
o'clock. 1t was marked Peace
Monument" but at 18th street
and New York avenue shot
across the new switch and head

bell punching ensued and the
called to the variance from the
destination.

But it says Peace Monument on
the sign," chorused his fares.
II know. but there amt any
14th and U sign on this reel and
we had to display something, SO
we chose Peace Monument as the
nearest to it,"
Then three cars backed up be-

out transfers.

from the outskirts. This car is
jammed now and I'd like to get

seeding Is better to control weeds
while the thinner seeding is more
liable to give good yield where
moisture is the limiting factor.
Proper Variety to Sow

Careful experiments over long
periods OF time show that home.

wheat grown on the Experiment
Station at Pullman for ten wears
produced six per cent more grain
than the best strain of Turkey in.

average of three years. Besides

LImated that seventy-five per cent
of the winter wheat of the worl,.
belongs to the Turkey type Of win.
ter wheat. Turkey is winter
hardy, smut resistant, has a high
mihlng value, and finds a ready
market everywhere. In case Of
winter killing, the land may be re-
seeded to Marquis without the SER
lous dockage that would result
from mixing red and white
wheats. The straw of the Turkey
variety is rather weak and will
not stand up under the heavy yield
oil the better section of the Palouse
country OH summer fallow ground.
This may be overcome by planting
1t rather late or by cropping the
land every year. On corn or pea
ground, Turkey has been known
to stand up under yield Of fifty
bushels per acre.
In sections of the country where
II is not advisable to grow Turkey,
Hybrid 1913 is a variety that pro-
duces a good yield and stands up
well. In case Of winter-killing,
Little Club, Red Chaff, or Jenkins
Club may be planted in the spring
without mixing the commercial
grade of the fall crop. Red Rus
sian is grown to a considerable ex-
tent and is still popular with many
farmers. 1t stands well, is hardy,
produces a good yield, and will
probably keep down weeds better
than any other variety. Forty
Fold is still being grown in some
sections of the country and may
be seeded in the Bluestem areas

re-seeding to Bluestem in the
spring will not make an undesir-
| able mixture from the standpoint
of marketing according to the
/ Federal grades.
Winter Bluestem is a variety
/ that is attracting some interest in
the Bluestem areas of the stare
This variety has no boards, pro-
duces white grain, and grades on
the market as Bluestem. 1t was
produced by the State College Of
Washin gtOn from a Hybrid OF
Turkey and ordinary Bluestem
The winter habit of the Turkey
has thus been introduced into the
| ordinary Bluestem. The resulting
| berry is not identical with spring
| Bluestem in that it is larger anC
longer, more like the seed of Early
Baart. This variety will not heac

diluted with water, however,
when the amount becomes too low
to cover the sack, without adding
vltrlol or formaldehyde in proper
ton to the fresh water added.
Particular care should be taken
that the seed is not frosted. Grain
which has suffered frost before
1T was ripe or which has been
frozen when it was damp, is not
likely to give satisfactory results.
A Suitable Seed Bed
a variety of factors are at work
which make it difficult to deter
NINE just what type of seed bed
is best for fall wheat. If the seed
ing is done early and there is dan
ger of subsequent drouth, the seed
bed should be we'll worked down
and rather firm from the bottom
of the furrOw slice up to within
two or three inches of the surface.
Generally speaking, the ground
should be free from weeds and
trash of any sort. This will not
hold good necessarily in the light
er soils which are subject to blow
ing. There, it is sometimes advis-
able to seed in the weeds, or in
case the land has been spring
plowed and has produced a crop
during the year, it may be advis-
able to seed in the Stubble with
out any preparation. The stand
ing stubble accomplishes three
things: it prevents the land from
blowing and not only serves as a
protection against winter injury
but also tends to hold the snow
and will thus retain more moisture
for the next crop.
Where the land is seeded late,
it is not SO important to have a
well firmed seed bed. Indeed, ex-
cellent results have been obtained
by blowing alfalfa sod late in o.
'tober or during November and
seeding the grain directly on the
sod without working it down at
all. Planting which is done in No
vember may be expected to come
through the winter in better shape
when the seed bed is rather loose
than when it is well compacted.
Summary
In the sections adapted to fall
wheat, it is highly desirable to
plant as much as can be got in
during September and October.
Winter wheat may be seeded
any time during the winter and
still develop a good crop, provided
ii lives through. 1t will not head
out if planted in the spring.
The amount to seed depends up
on the variety used and the date
on which it isS seeded. A good rule
to follow is, add a pound of seed
for every two days later that grain
is seeded after the first seeding
starts.
The variety which is planted
should be the prevailing variety
for the neighborhOod unless there
is a serious and fundamental rea-
son for changing to another vari-
ETY. which is better adapted to that
particular section of the state.
In no case should seed wheat be
introduced from the central or
eastern states. Experiments have
shown that there is accumulative
value in the acclimated home
grow seed. 1t is highly important
that the seed be plump, sound,
well cleaned, and treated for smut
before planting.
The treatment may be omitted
in seeding Turkey Red wheat ii

key is highly resistant to the at

besides, ripens earlier, thus max
mo better distribution Of labor
At harvest time. In case of winter
Killing, the land can be re-seeded
to spring wheat with but compare
lively little extra labor and ex-
pense, thus preventing crop fail
ure on the land.
Time to Seed
Fall wheat is usually seeded in
Washington between the tenth of
September and the last Of October.
Probably 80 per cent is seeded
during this time. The fact that
the majority of farmers seed dur
ing this period may be taken as an
Indication that this is the safest
time to seed. Very good crops
have been obtained, however,
when seeded both earlier and later
than this date. Winter wheat will
mature at practically the same
time, whether seeded in August of
one year or February of the next.
Experimental results at the State
College show that winter wheat
seeded on the first Of August does
not produce as large a yield as
later seeding. They also show
that extremely late seeding does
not produce as great a yield on
the average as the September and
October seedlings. Experiments
further show that wheat sown in
August or December, if properly
treated, is always practically smut
free. Where the fall wheat is to
be pastured, earlier seeding may
10 practiced with satisfactory re-
suits. The climatic conditions in
Washington are so varied that
there is a great deal of fluctuation
from year to year in the amount
Of fall wheat seeded and in the ex-
act date that the seeding is done
Many farmers wait for rain before
starting the drill. Others seed in
the dust with very satisfactory re
suits. Early seeding should be
put in deeper than late seeding.
Amount to Sow Per Acre
The wheat plant has wonderful
capacity for adapting itself to its
Surroundings. If it is planted thir
more heads per plant will develop
