An Enormous Wheat Crop.
NEW VOL. 54-Nc. l9

The greatest crop Of winter wheat
ever produced in any country is In
prospect for this years harvest The
latest forecast Of production estimated
by the Department OF Agriculture
placed its size at almost 9Oo,oOo,ooo
bushels-in exact figures, S99,9l5.OOo
which would make this years harvest
worth S2,034,OOOOC0, at the govern
ment's price guarantee OF S22o a
buShe.
Kansas is producing an enormous
crop. the forecast OF production for that
State being almost p per cent OF tho
country's total indicated output. llli-
nois has forecast OF nearly 66,OOO'OOO
bushels, Indiana about 56,OOO,OOO.
Ohio 55,OO0,0O0, and Oklahoma slight
ly more than 54,00o,0oo.
The acreage is the largest on record
and the area abandoned from winter
killing, overhows and other causes Is
extremely low--l.l per cent Growing
conditions have been splendid, and the
crop from April to May | made an
improvement, bringing IL to zoos per
cent OF a normal, which is the highest
condition on record for May |. Con-
tinued good growing conditions from
now to time OF harvest might result in
a crop larger than 900,000000 bushels.

Some years ago a prominent Steu-

raising hogs. A friend congratulated
him on his success, as his breeds were
certainly fine.

Hog Cholera Outbreak.

Hog cholera is getting an early start
in the county. There are already
three outbreaks very recently. There
has been so much in Jefferson that in
fection is permanent Farmers ask if
there isn't some other way to combat
the disease without vaccination. There
would be no need for cholera if every
farmer who gets the disease would vac
cinate all hogs without fever, burn or
bury all infected animals effectually
clean up his premises and disinfect
with proper materials and maintain a
strict quarantine. Not all farmers Will
do this, so the infection will spread.
Vaccination is successful, tho many
have had bad results because of bad
serum. However, better product is
coming on the market now. 1t is the
only certain preventative. We intend
to take up this problem at our June
meetings. We will demonstrate the
method of vaccination and give re-
port of results obtained in this and
other sections by use of vaccination
1t cost about S1.0O to buy vaccine for
hundred-pound shoat, besides the We
terinarys fee. The large hog growers
of the country are making practice Of
regularly immuning theif hogs.
Farm Bureau Picnic.
The Berkeley County Farm Bureau
has invited the Jefferson County Farm
Bureau to a joint annual picnic at |. D.
Vanmetre's grove, west of Kearneys-
vile. Arrangements are being made
for 5000 people. June 5th has been
chosen as the date. An elaborate pro-
gram and educational entertainment is
being planned which will be announced
later.

Lime and Weeds.

DE-. Roger, of Leetown, has field
of alfalfa unlimed, except a strip
about three yards down the centre oil
the field. The lime could be very
plainly noted for two reasons. Where
the lime was applied there was less
cress and more alfalfa. Where there
was no lime there was more cresS and
less alfalfa. In fact, the difference is
so marked that it is very plainly visible
1t is a known fact that many weeds
flourish in a sour soil. Mr.. Roger is
the veteran alfalfa grower of the coun-
ty, being the first farmer to raise the
crop about Is years ago.
Mari and Glover.
Farmers wishing to see the marked
benefit mari is to clover, will find a
good sample on G. B. Rodeffer's clover
field Just southeast of the Lime-Marl
plant. Due to the northwest wind, the
fine mari dust from the plant has been
carried over the railroad track into the
field that was in wheat last year, 1918.
Mr.. Rodeffer says that in cutting wheat
the binder cut the tops of the young
clover into the wheat bundles. The
clover growing on the fields this spring
is as good as can be found in the coun-

Silk Thread for chiIdrens' Wear.

Always sew children's wear with A
No. l quality silk thread-the best to
be had. In the long run il will prove
the best paying investment in your
children's clothes that you have ever
hit upon. SILK thread is stronger
than cotton; it does not roughen in
the laundering nor is it so brittle and
inclined to break off or snap in the
seam. In ginghams, percales and 9TH
er fabrics of childreh's wearing APP
parel the silk sinks deep into the
mesh of the goods and holds far bet
ter with a thread Of similar quality
and texture as the apparel. Numerous
mothers have vouched for the value
of this practice.

II You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why
t is that so many products that are ex-
,ensively advertised, all at once drop out
If sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
IN endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of il.

Japan in the War.

Japan entered the war because OF a
treaty with Great Britain, concluded
in 1902. The original alliance pre-
coded the Russo-Japanese war. In
to provide for the defense of British
interests in India and Afghanistan,
while England agreed to give japan
a free hand on Korea. In 1911 it was
again modified by the agreement that
Great Britain should not be bound to
aid Japan against any power with
whom she had a treaty of arbitration
thus excluding the United States as
q possible enemy. The alliance has
been extended to 1921.

No wonder the French are fond of

never grow tired of this refined and

white in these two particulars. Be

colors, as white does. The spring is

combination with other colored fab

cries.
A suit of beige tricot shown in the
picture is a fine example of harmonic
ing color and design. Here there is
the same "class" I'm the design as in
the cloth. 1t is made with plain
skirt, and very neat machine stitching
is an important detail in its finishing.
The skirt is instep length and just
wide enough for comfortable walking.
The neat effect of machine stitching
Is emphasized by placing 1t on narrow
panels, rounded at the ends, that are
applied around the coat. 1t appears
again on the front of the coat, where a
wide panel Is cut to form pockets at
the sides, and again on the narrow belt
of the tricot. The small, round buttons
are covered with the cloth.
