WHEAT YIELDS INCREAsED
:, BY USING RIGHT KIND or SEED

Many bushels can be added to the
1919 liberty wheat heryest, and far
mers can reap added profits from In
creased yields with no more than the
usual labor or expense II the variety
OF seed sown this fall IL pure and Is
well adapted to the locality say
partment OF Agriculture. The seed
should be free from noxlous weed
seeds and not infested By destructive
plant diseases. II should be clean,
plump and heavy, II thece ts doubt
about what variety produces the best
yields in given locality, the grower
should consult his county agent,
State Agricultural College, or write
to the United States Department OF
Ariculture, Washington d. G.
Homegrown wheat should be used
for seed wherever possible. The best
seed to get is that OF an adapted
variety which has been grown contin-
uously In the locality for some time.
provided Il Is pure. The idea that
varieties run out" II grown long In
one section, Is only an expression
for the fact that they are allowed to
become mixed and weedy and disease
infected. Changing the kind of
wheat grown should be done only
for the purpose OF getting a proved
better variety. IL is often desirable
to do this provided II Is demonstrated
beyond question that the new variety
Is better for that locality.

quality of the wheat produced. Poor
er varieties are being displaced rap
idly. The best way TO be sure that
the seed wheat Is free from mixture
with other varieties and also from
weeds and diseases Is to inspect the
growing field, Each farmer should
do this In his own fields and neigh
borhood When HIS own variety Is
not well adapted or otherwise OF
good quality, he should inspect
fields OF adapted varieties grown by
some OF his neighbors and arrange
to obtain seed form them after thrash
ing. In many instances he eau ar

to prevent mixture. Such care is
especially desirable this year. when

THE NAGGnNG WIFE.
University Magazine: In the course

that Ia some homes although the
wife was not dissolute, she was, never
theless, almost wholly 10 blame for
the wretched conditions which exis-

hard working and earned sufficient
money from week to week to win a
comfortable home, # he possessed a
comfortable helpmeet, but the wife,
unfortunately, was afflicted with the
densest ignorance of home making.
In other instances the home was made
unhappy BY nagging wife, with a
rasping tongue. One woman Of this
type appeared in the juvenile court
charging her husband with neglecting
her and her children, and during the
/ inquiry uneonsciously gave ample
evidence Of her own ill-temper and

evidence himself, but merely asked

WHAT SOLDIERS ALWAYS
CARRY INTO BATTLE

In an article in the April Ameri-
can Magazine a writer says:
"There are two things the soldiers
always carry with them: photographs
of the home folks and letters from
the home folks The pictures, often
with a small Testament, are always
in the breast pocket, over the heart.
/ think they sometimes are put there
as a kind of charm to ward off bull
lets. Anyway that's where they al
ways are. And the look in mans
face when he shows you the picture
of his mother, his wife, his children,
and you say-as you always do -
that they are very beautiful, will
bring tears to your own eyes.
"And those packages of letters.
They carry them around for months
and read them over and over until
the creases are so worn the sheets
will hardly hold together"

PLAN TO SPEED UP
DRAFT MACHINERY

Washington, April Enclosures
to speed up the draft program are
in contemplation and an official an
nouncement is expected soon.
The intention is to meet the emer-
gency in France. For that reason the
500, 900 to be call this year will be
called more rapidly than was pre-
viourly planned.
War Department officials said no
ARRANGEMENTS were in sight looking
to calling out more than the 100000
men it was planned to take into the
service.
Officials do not regard it rs posi-
BILE that more men will be sent a
broad this year than the department
already has arranged to summon,
even with additional British shipping
made available as troop transports.
There are now under arms here and
in Europe more than 100000
American soldiers. The number will
have been raised to about 100000
by the end of the year, counting
drafted men, volunteers and special
technical forces to be enlisted.
