saving of wheat by reducing our diet
six ounces daily. There must be $780,
900 acres of wheat planted in Iowa
this spring. Uncle Sam is asking for
at least acres Of spring wheat on ev-
cry Iowa farm. 1t has been suggested
that the wheat be planted in place of
oats, not corn. Don't cut. down on the
corn acreage. A year poor for small
grain is usually good for corn. This
| is corn state; and corn is our de-
pendable crop. Mills are being made
over to grind barley. Barley is a
profitable crop, and there will be big
demand for it. Sow small grain on
the small irregular fields. Don't let
q square foot of land lay idle this year.
Get your seed now. Be prepared to
sow early If you can't find the vari-,
ETY. of seed you want. call or write the
farm bureau Office at Denison.. If you
have seed wheat for sale, tell your
county agent. He is having many calls
for spring wheat seed.

by the experts in the animal husband

There are various connections upon

they let it be known that it will do the
business providing sufficient amount
of it is used. BY the time an oppor-

trial the distributor is out of the

1t stands to reason that IL there is
any cure possible other than the use
of serum and virus the government

makes this distinction: Hog cholera

and high death rate. We find it in two

NEED NOT FEAR WOOD FAMINE
Government Figures Convey Assur.
ance to Those Who Contemplate
Using That Material for Building.

Wood has been and is still one Of the
chief materials used in the construc-
ton and furnishing Of the home. 1t
has had natural advantages because
of the ease with which it can be work
ed and fastened, because it has
strength and hardness for general pur.
poses, because it is comparatively
light in weight, because it is a good
protection against heat and cold, and
because it is pleasing in appearance.
These properties, which are due to its
peculiar chemical nature and physical
structure, have made wood unique
among building materials.
An impression seems to be preva-
lent that the supply of wood is becom-
ing so depleted that in the near future
it can be used for ornamental or
special purposes, says a report issued
by the bureau of standards. This is
declared to be erroneous. We still
have enough virgin timber, it is de-
clared, in this country to last for sew
eral generations, and with the growing
practice of forestry a certain supply
will always be maintained, partly by
increasing the yield of timber per acre
and partly by checking the waste in
using the timber.
Although the centers of production
are being removed farther and farther
from the centers of population, freight
rates do not make the shipment OF
lumber across several states prohibi-
tive, wood being a comparatively light
material.
