TIME TO PLANT WHEAT.
Best Time to Plant Wheat in Robson
Is Just After First Killing Frost.
Correspondence of The Robesonian.

Correspondence of The Robesonian.
The best time to plant wheat in
Robson county is just after the first
killing frost. On account Of injury
from the Hessian fly it is never ad-
visable to seed wheat earlier than
this time. The average date for the
first killing frost for the past forty
years has been Nov. 4.
Where the land has been previously
broken, it should be thoroughly disced
land has not been prepared, do so by
blowing. In case the latter is done a
the bed to become firm before seeding.
it will be better to delay planting a
little, and thoroughly prepare the seed
bed, than to plant on an improperly
prepared bed. Do not SOW wheat in
Most farmers prefer beardless va
riety, while some prefer bearded va
riety. To meet 'tnese preferences the
best varieties are Leaps prolific
(beardless) and Fulcaster (bearded) b.
Taking everything into consideration
the Leaps prolific will give best re-
ults. Six pecks of seed per acre will
give best results. Use a grain drill
if possible.
Wheat needs some potash but where
this cannot be obtained three or four
hundred pounds of fertilizer analyzing
eight per cent phosphoric acid and
three per cent nitrogen should be used
per acre. Where legume (peas or
beans) has been plowed in or a. iber-
al application of manure used, the
nitrogen in the commercial fertilizer
may be reduced.
Last but not least, don't fail to
treat seed for smut. This is done as
follows: Make solution Of formalin
by adding one ounce of formalin
(about two tablespoons) to each three
gallons of water used. The seed should
be put on a. tight floor and sprinkled
with this solution and stirred until
thoroughly wet. It generally takes
about one gallon of the solution to
each bushel Of seed Cover seed with
bags that have been thoroughly sat
urated in the solution (make solution
, a little stronger for this). After
about eight hours remove the cover
spread seed in thin layer and allow tt
dry. Do not bulk seed until thorough
ly dry. The formalin can be secured
at any drug store.

left me in very weak condition, and
affected my limbs. We decided it
had resulted in white swelling. Every
remedy we could think of was used,
but to no effect. My suffering was
great, and I had to go on crutches.
At last we were induced to try Mrs.
Joe Persons Remedy, after suffering
for two years, and the result was
marvellous. After taking eight bottles
I was entirely cured, and have never
had a symptom Of trouble since. NV

to give it trial, and be convinced, as
I have been.

HEART BREAKER ARRAIG NED.
Walter Krych Charged With Taking
500 From East Main Street Woman.

Walter Krych, arrested yesterday
was arraigned before Judge James T.
Meskill in police court this morning
on a charge Of obtaining money
under false pretenses. 1t was claimed
that last October he wooed one Eva
Andrejick of East Main street and
succeeded in separating her from
800 which she" had saved. Judge
Meskill found probable cause and the
accused was bound over to the next
term of the superior court in bonds
of $500.
Lawyer W. F. Mangan appeared in
court also to make a motion that
the forfeiture Of a bond of 500, put
up by Peter Szparkowski for the ap-
pearance of a friend charged with
breach of the peace, be erased. Law
yer Mangan explained that the
bondsman was not to blame for the
non appearance of the accused and
would suffer, while the accused would
go free. Judge Meskill admitted that
it would work a hardship and he dis
liked to be a party to it. but rules
are rules and the people must be
made to understand that the court
is not to be trifed with He denied
the motion.

An Interview With Mrs. IGcretia S
Cummings, OF PIantsviIle.

In one of the series of "Made-in-
Connecticut War Interviews with
Women obtained by the Connecticut
State Council of Defense, Mrs. Lu-
crecia S. Cummings, of Plantsville, a
member Of the Southington board of
education, describes war work done
or to be done through the schools
Of the state. She says that one of
the most important accomplishm ents
of the schools has been the spread
ing among foreign-born adults of the
War doctrines outlined by the presi-
dent and other national leaders as ex-
planned to the pupils by their teach
ers. A great number of parents, she
says, have learned through their chill
dren of the real war aims and mo-
tives of the United States, many of
whom would probably have held dis
torted views if they had been left to
rely on their ordinary limited sources
Of information. Mrs. Cummings
said:
THE question of what the schools
can do to meet the war needs of the
country is in part very easily an
SWered because We can simply refer
to what the schools have actually
done already. What more they may
do will develop as time goes on, but
for the present what they have done
and are doing forms a long and in
spring chapter in war work. Chill
dren and young people love to help
in the work of their elders, and in
this case, under a little wise direction
and inspiration, their collective accom-
plishment amounts to nothing less
than doing a mans job Each
child's contribution is small but the
sum total Of their achievement is very
large and destined to be larger.
lone of their earliest activities was
in school and home garden work,
commencing in the spring under
school supervision and carried on all
summer in the same way, resulting in
surprising totals of vegetables and
grain raised for home cOnsump tion.
Manual training classes for boys were
given an agricultural turn with field
practice. Sewing classes for girls
were turned in the direction of Red
Cross work, while cooking classes
have been used for teaching food con-
SerVatiOn and values.
1.-THE schools have taken an active
part in several of the recent drives
Pupils acted as messengers and even
as canvasserS in securing signatures
! to the food pledge, often bringing
| their influence to bear on reluctant
parents Explanations of the move
ment given by teachers were faith
! fully carried home by the children
! and in many foreign and in some
American homes the cards were signed
simply because the pupils had paved
| the way. When interpreters were
wanted the schools readily furnished
good ones.
Great assistance was given by the
schools in the recent canvass for Red
Gross members, different units Vylng
with one another for the greatest
mum Der of members secured. impress
| sive parades of school children helped
| powerfully in getting subscribers to
| the Liberty Loans. The pupils have
| entered enthusiastically into the
| Thrift Stamp movement and the aim
| of having at least one-half Of the ma
| TONS school children become owners
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1918-02-14

Of Thrift Stamps bids air to be fully
realized. If a habit of thrift should
be established among the young, its
influence upon their future Will not
be the least of the gains of the war.
1.-The schools are rapidly organizing
Junior Red Cross chapters and under
the guidance of the teachers they are
already accomplishing such work as is
within their ability.
THE schools have become dis
tributing centers for all sorts of pa
triotic literature and appeals which
it is desired to bring before the peo-
pie. Pupils gladly take home the ma
terial and supplement it with the ex-
plantations which they have heard
from their teachers. Their agency in
the matter has been almost indispen-
sable. When we wish to get the great
aims Of the war before the rank and
file of our most cosmopolitan country,
where do we begin? Where but in
the schools? In tens of thousands of
ignorant homes the children repeat
the message they have learned from
their teachers: We are fighting to
make the world safe for common peo-
pie, and for the weakest as we'll as
the STRONGEST What greater war
work could be done than to spread
the gospel as the schools are doing?
eve must remember that no public
work done by the children, however
successful it may be, equals the in
fluence which they exert at home. In
a country like ours, including so manv
homes where our language is not I'M
derstOod, the children constitute orr
greatest agency for securing under
standing and cooperation on the part
of our very heterogeneous population
The influence of our supervisors and
teachers reaches not only their pupils
but also a vast number of adults
whom we can at present reach in no
other way.
AS we think of our original ques-
ton, does it not assume in our minds
new form? Not What can the
schools do?' but What cannot the
schools do to meet the war needs of
the country?''
