RECORD YIELD OF WHEAT
PER ACRE ll7.2 BUSHELS
tanned on Farm in Washington
State.

The call of the nation upon the
farmers to produce all the wheat
possible, even though some other
crop might prove more profitable, has
not only produced keen patriotic
competition in that line. but has set
a lot of agriculturists TO Dragging
about wheat yields of this and other
years. So keen has been the contro-
versy and so many the appeals to the
Department of Agriculture to settle
the big crop question, that Secretary
Houston instituted an effort to veri-
fly some of the claims. AS a result of
these inquiries it is declared that the
largest yield per acre of what ever
recorded is 117.2 bushels. 1t was
produced in 1895 in Island county,
Washington, on an 18-acre field. The
field agent of the bureau, who was
requested to substantiate the report,
has written as fellows:
I'm compliance with your instruc--
lIOuS VI MdlCu q, uCS " oufiSO soo
visited the farm which produced
1T bushels per acre of wheat, near
Coupevihe, Island county. Wash.
THE crop was grown by Sabine
Abbot, on the farm now occupied by
Joseph Arnold. in the year 1895. The
acreage harvested was eighteen acres
and the yield 117.2 bushels per acre.
The field was measured and the
wheat weighed
Il was advised that probably
bushel of wheat per acre was lost by
threshing, due to the inability of the
threshing machine to produce the
best results in such heavy grain.
1.-The farm consisted of clearing
of eighty-five acres of albck, sandy
loan, with clay subsoil, bounded on
the south by the Strait of Juan de
F'uca, on the west and east by woods,
and on the north by an adjacent
clearing. This farm has been farm
ed over thirty years, is not irrigated,
but well diversified No fertilizer
has ever been used on this farm.
The variety of wheat sown was
Australian Club. The particular
field which produced the yield was in
pasture for several years, cattle and
sheep, and three years prior to pro-
ducing the yield of wheat was seed
ed to potatoes. The first seeding of
potatoes produced a large yield, the
second, medium yields, and the third
fairly poor yields, although the yield
was above the average for the State,
yet large yields are typical of this
portion of WILDLY Island"

A Message From
Secretary Houston

1t is difficult to indicate the things
that women may do in the field of
agriculture, since l know of scarcely
anything that some of them may not
do and are not doing somewhere
The six and a half or seven millions
of farm women, in addition to their
onerous domestic duties, are aiding
production along many lines. Many
of them work in the fields; many of
them assist in planting. in cultiva-
ton, and in harvesting. Hundreds of
thousands Of women and girls in ru-
raj districts, especially through the
clubs, take active part in poultry,
hog, and dairy production. They as
sist in raising home gardens and in
making the home self-sustaining.
They conserve vast quantities of ma
terials for future use as food by
drying, canning and preserving. 1t
would be impossible to overestimate
their service in food production. 1t
would be equally impossible to exag-
gerate the part they play in conserv-
ing food itself.
The women in towns and cities
can probably render their largest
service by conserving materials for
future use as food by canning, dry
ing( and preserving, and by con-
serving food itself, and by assisting
in planting and cultivating home
gardens In doing these things they
not only contribute to the food sup
ply of the Nation directly, but also
reduce the difficulties in marketing
and relieve-t the burden on transporta-
ton There are in towns and cities
many women who have been brought
up on the farms or have some farm
experience. They can unquestionab-
ly, especially with some previous
training, take an effective part in
planting, cultivation, and harvesting.
Even those who have not had such
experience may, by taking proper
SltpS, Qudll1y lhCiAoCINco III CiCS-
tive assistance in these directions.
Another aid that they can render by
careful thought and planning is
through the relief they can furnish
to farm women in their homes, thus
releasing to this extent the more ex-
perienced women of the country dis
tricts for the more difficult farm
tasks.
l have the feeling that the women
themselves, especially after the many
recent months of reflection and ex-
perience, have discovered for them
selves quite as fully as anyone could
reveal to them the lines along which
they might render service not only
in agriculture, but in all other direc-
lions. 1t is amazing how much they
are doing to assist the Nation as
nurses, in the Red Cross, in the Lib
erty loan campaigns, in war savings
of every character, in industry, even
in it's most difficult forms, and in
agriculture.

Secretary Of Agriculture.

Editor of The Sun:


Sir.-An editorial appearing in
the morning issue of The Sun, en-
titled THE Campaign for Nurses,
deals with the matter OF the require
ments in preliminary education for
applicants to the training schools for
nurses in Maryland.
You plead very rightly for the ap-
plicant who has not a high school or
college diploma, but who may be in
reality well fitted for the nursing
profession. l am writing, however,
to explain a very important point
that has not been called TO your at
tention: In the Student Nurse De-
partment of the Maryland State
Board of Examiners of Nurses, which
board has jurisdiction in Maryland
in this matter, ample provision is
made covering all details of the
needs of applicants of all types. This
seems a very broad statement, but it
is fully authentic. The illiterate
class is eliminated; beyond this any
young woman of intelligence may
qualify.
The law requires the equivalent OF
a high school education, it does not
require an actual high school course.
1t is entirely erroneous that col
lege education is required. The re-
Quirement is for certain degree OF
mental training and efficiency as rep
resented by the attainment of the av-
erage high school graduate, what
that graduate has assimilated and
made her own.
If the applicant has the diploma OF
an accredited high school or secon-
Diary school of similar grade, techni-
cal requirements by IA standard
units, the law permits her to be ac-
cepted in preliminary educational
qualifications without further test
than verification of her written ere
dentials.
If she has not the required writ
ten credentials she demonstrates her
actual fitness by taking an examina-
ton. She may have had part of a
high school course plus business
training, and thus may cover without
examination full IA units, or, an ex
animation may be required in only
a few subjects; her written creden-
