WOULD SOW LESS
WHEAT THIS FALL
SUCH is RECOMMENDATION TO
, FARMERS BY AGRICULTURAL
DEPARTMENT EXPERTS.
Carefully Worked Out Information Col
lected for Husbandmen Would In
dictate That Acreage Should Not
be So Great as in 1918.

Neutrality-suspicious. wheat should be
sown this fall than was the average
in pre-war years, but not so much
should be sOwn as was sown last year.
This is the outstanding fall farming
recommendation Of the United States
department of agriculture, which is
watching the changes of world supply
and demand while European countries
are getting back to normal in food pro-
duction and thus affecting the market
for American products. The depart
ment's suggestions are based on the
observations Of specialists who were
sent abroad to report on foreign con-
ditions and probable needs, and on the
most extensive reports it has been pos
sible to obtain from other sources in
this country and other countries.
As to winter wheat, the department
suggests that 100000 acres be sOwn
this fall to this crop, and that 10000
600 acres be sown in 1920 to spring
wheat, making probable aggregate
production in 1920 Of S30OO0,OO0 bush
els of which 2OO,OOOOOO bushels would
be available for export after home
needs are met. This production would
approximately equal the average yield
of wheat in the United States for the
five years, 1915 TO 1919, inclusive. The
fiye-year average is thought to be a
safe guide for American farmers.
The suggested acreage for fall-sown
wheat is approximately 50 per cent of
the area sown in the fail of 1918, and
is about the same as vas sOwn in the
fail of 1917. The suggested area for
spring wheat is approximately So per
cent Of the area sown in each of the
last two Years. The combined acreage
of winter and spring wheat suggested
for 1920 is about SO per cent of the
acreage sown for the 1919 crop, slight
Is more than the acreage sown for the
bumper crop of 1915, and about foul
per cent less than the area sown fol
the 1913 crop.

RECONSTRUCTION is
OF BIG IMPORTANCE
Time to Spruce Up Car Neglected
During Great War.
Col. arthur Woods, Assistant to Sec
Rotary of War, Recommends En-
pIoyment Of Returning Sol
diers to Make Repairs.

How about your motor car? OF
course, you let her lose class some
what during the war 1t was unpa-
triotic to use labor or paint on your
car at time when American indus
try was working at top speed to pro-
duce the HEterial necessary for the
winning Gf the war.
But tie war Is over. Labor Is no
longer scarce. In fact, there are TO-
300 soldiers being dismissed every day
from the service, and these men will
have rather a difficult time Of it until
the Industries Of the country can re-
instate them into civilian Jobs. Now
is the time to spruce up that motor
car, TO put that necessary coat of paint
on and 10 overhaul it generally. You
will be doing patriotic service to the
country in getting q soldier or two to
do this work for you. Col. Arthur
Woods, assistant to the secretary of
war, recommends the employment of
px-service men for such reconstruction
work.
There is no more need for emergency
economy. Minor repairs add to the
life of things. Paint adds life to the
body Of the car. Spruce up your en-
CINE. Renew those worn parts. Your
rar win 90 quicker, will run smoother,
and wear on 1t will be lighter.
Materials are expensive now
paints, machine parts, cost more than
they used to few years ago. But
they win save more than their value
In their service to the car.
Don't wait for materials to come
down. They won't Rather is the
contrary TO be expected. And If you
wait little too long, you viii have to
put on an extra coat of paint, and
more parts will wear out. "Spruce
mp" your car now.

have won had this not occurred.
As the race driver, milford dis
played most of his skill in the big road
races when that form of automobile
racing was popular in America. AS a
speedway driver he has had varying
luck and during the contest for the
American speedway championship in
1917, which was won by Dario Resta,

HELPS PAY FOR GOOD ROADS
In 1918 Nearly 81 Per Cent of Motor
Vehicle Tax Was Applied to
Highway Improvement.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The increase in motorcar registra-
lions and revenues in the United
States during the past dozen years
represents some interesting COMPARE
sons. This is especially true in re-
Spect 10 the use made of the revenues.
In 1906 the total registrations were APP
proximately $4,000 cars. paying gross
revenue of about $4,000. or roughly
the same as the returns from the Dis
trict Of Columbia for the year 1918.
Furthermore in 1906 the gross regis
tration revenues represented less than
three-tenths of per cent of the total
rural road and bridge expenditures for
that year. In 1918 the motor-vehicle
revenues represented approximately
81 per cent of the total road and
bridge expenditures for that year. Fur
thermore while in 1906 practically
none of the motor-vehicle revenues
were applied to road construction or
maintenance, in 1918 nearly 81 per
cent of the gross returns, or S46.935.-
sol, were devoted to this purpose in
&c states, and of the total amount APP
Piled TO road work n per cent. or
SIG, 161 ,473, was expended more or less
directly under the control or super
vision of the state highway depart
ments.

Motor rruek can pun TraIsr whers R0ads Are eood

Trucks are usually equipped with
motors having considerable reserve
power, which is provided for pulling
heavy loads up grades or over bad
roads. If hauling to and from the farm
is over fairly level, improved roads, as
is the case in great many instances,
the motor truck even when loaded to
capacity is capable of hauling a trailer,
thus being able to handle nearly twice
the normal rated capacity of the truck
without overlooking 1t.
Danger in Practice.
Their is a danger, however, in this
practice of hauling trailers behind
trucks. because some owners are sure
to uss them when highway and other
conditions are not favorable. The
harm in doing this comes in overload
ing the truck motor beyond the ca.
paeity at which 1t will work econom-
fealIy and efficiently, which is prob
ably the worst punishment that can
be- giren n truck -Pawer Farming.

and calls you; with whom you go, with

is light. and in the light the virtue.
and in the virtue the paradise.-Jacob
