FARM BUREAU IDEA SPREADS
Canada and Australia Ask Information
on Plan of Work-Is Increasing
in Scope.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Inquiries have been received by the
United States department of agricul-
ture from Canada and Australia for
full particulars regarding the organ
ization and operation of farm bureaus
in the United States, indicating that
interest in the plan of work is no
longer confined to our own country,
but that other countries are eager to
adopt similar type of organization.
The farm bureau is not only an or
ganization to aid the work of the
county agent, but is becoming the
official agency, or institution, educa-
tional in character, for cooperating
with the state and nation in meeting
agricultural needs, and in planning.
administering and directing all phases
of extension work in agriculture and
home economics in the country.

in crib or bin are likely to heat and
thus seriously impair their germinat-
ing power. The piles of heads should
be examined at least every two weeks,
and if any signs of heat develop they
should be turned with forks to fore
stall all damage. Where an open
shed is not available for the protec-
ton of the ricked heads they may be
piled in the open and coverd with a
tarpaulin or with bundles of fodder
until they can be thrashed.
Allowing seed designed to be used
for planting purposes to be wet by
every rain and snow which comes is
inexcusable even where wet periods
are infrequent and the total amount
of moisture likely to be small. Seed
intended to besused for feeding pur-
poses will not be injured to any con-
siderable extent by small amount
of moisture, but wet seed. especially
during season when freezing temper
atures prevail, will be rendered al
most worthless for planting. Freez-
ing temperatures do little injury to
dry seed.

GOOD SORGHUM SEED
GREATLY IN DEMAND
Some Extra Money Can Be Real
lied by Farmers.
Important to Keep Varieties to Be
Used for sirup Production From
Mixing With others--use Care
in Storing Seed Heads.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Good, pure, yiable seed of sorgo
or sweet sorghum has been greatly
in demand the last two years and a
little ezra money can be realized by
farmers in the sorghum belt if they
will save the seed from their fodder
and sirup sorghum varieties, espe-
cially if they have pure strains of
such standard varieties as black am
Der, red amber, orange, sumac, honey,
and gooseneck.
In addition to the demand for seed
of these varieties for fodder and sirup
production there is a limited demand
by strip producers for the seed of
Her. and Mclean. The average farm
err, however, who is growing the sor-
Cos primarily. for forage purposes had
best confine himself to some one of
the first-named varieties.
The importance of keeping the va
rieties to be used for sirup produc-
ton from mixing with other varieties
is strongly emphasized. The sweet
varieties from which seed for future
planting is to be gathered should not
he grown near any other strip or fod-
der variety. Even then the seed
heads should be carefully selected
with view to trueness of type or
variety.
With fodder varieties one can go
into a field of shocked fodder and
gather the seed in paying quantities
by cutting with knife the heads from
the bundles or from the individual
stalks. if the fodder has not been
bound. The heads can be thrown in
piles at the base of the shock, after
the practice followed in husking corn
from the shock, but this entails con-
siderable waste and it is better to
take a team and wagon into the field
and throw the heads directly into the
wagon box. If the field has been prop
erly rogued and has ripened uniformly
it is more economical for two men
to work together and by means of a
chopping block attached to the wagon
box separate the heads from an, en-
tire bundle at one stroke.
The gathered heads should not be
stacked in. the field, but hauled into
the farmyard and piled in long, mar
row ricks in an open shed. Care must
be used in storing the heads. Unless
they are thoroughly dry when gath
cred large quantities thrown together

SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Restore
Color, Gloss and At
Effectiveness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
iustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays. by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get large
bottle of this famous old recipe, i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, at small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it.! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does 1t so naturally and
evenly. You dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive.-Adv.

statement it is believed that any oper-
ator who does not already employ
such system can readily devise one
which will be best suited to his par
ticular engine.
Starting Troubles.
Always bear in mind that for a gas
engine to run it is necessary to have
compressed mixture of vaporized
fuel Generally gasoline or kerosene)
and air in proper proportions, which
is exploded by hot spark while the
mixture is under compression. The
spark should occur slightly before full
compression, except in starting, when
it should occur just after full COM
preston has passed.
| When an engine refuses to start,
the trouble will, with very few ex-
ceptions, be due to some interruption
of the supply of the proper mixture
of gas and air, or to failure of the
electrical system which furnishes the
spark to fire the compressed mixture.
1t seldom happens that both systems
are at fault at the same time, so the
first thing to do is to find out whether
one of these systems has ceased to
work properly.
The ignition system, on the whole, is
more often the cause of trouble than
! is the fuel system, and it is usually
advisable to test this first unless, on
account of the construction of the par
ticular engine in question, it is easier

is to turn inedible feeds into edible
