War Farming
[By J. S. Clare.1

NOW that the thrashing is well un,
aer way, it is time to begin prepare
IONS Tor next years wheat crop.
mere is no doubt that ground plowed
early and thoroughly ordered gives "a
much better chance for a good crop
OF faii wheat than late plowed poor
~ ordered ground. 1t is advisable
10 break the ground as early as pos.
slole. We should not only double
the acreage of fall wheat, but we
should do all the work on the ground
that IS necessary to secure good
seed bed
Both the fairs held in Lee county
OFFER liberal prizes for individual
farm exhibits. Why not begin now
10 save products, as they mature,
and prepare them for the fairs?
These exhibits are very interesting
and OF educational value. The West
Point. fair is September g. and 5.
The Lee county fair is held at Don
nelson, September II to 20. A nice
exhibition will show the folks In
the county what your farm is really
producing. You can help the fairs ma
terially if you will fit and show your
best stock. The more good stock is
shown, the greater the educational
value OF the fairs.
The state exchange is now in on.
GRAFTON. The manager of the state
exchange writes me that material to
be listed the next list should be re-
cefved in Ames by August Is. II
you have articles to list, that you
nave not already listed, notify me
by August u, so that we can get the
material to Ames in time. This list
is mailed to all county agents in
Iowa and to breeders Of pure bred

1t may not be too late to order a
silo now. Materials are high in

however, to buy a silo now to be
used this fall We thought you would
be interested In the proclamation by

often pays for itself the first year

A carload Of ground limestone has
recently been unloaded at Warren.
This lime will be applied on three
different farms. One man would like
some of his neighbors to help him
get a carload at Donnellson. II you

know. Perhaps someone else could
use part of car at the same station.
