The approach of wheat and oat
sowing time raises a question in the
farmers mind as to the outlook for
those crops. 1t is well known that un-
der the stimulus of government price
an enormous wheat crop has been
produced, crop of approximately
1,2OO,OOO,0OO bushels.
1t is estimated that this country re-
quires 6OO,O0O,O00 bushels and that
Europe will require 410,000,OOO to
AGO, 100000 bushels. If these figures
prove correct there will be very
little surplus left of the big crop OF
wheat this country has grown.
Since it appears to be probable
that there will be no trouble to dis
pose of the present crop the next
question is, what are the planting
prospects for other wheat growing
nations?
Of course the nations south of the
equator, like Argentina and Austria
liza, that have their summer when we
are having our winter, have already
sown their fall crops, and will har-
vest them near Christmas time. These
nations have, thus far, good pros
poets; but they would hardly compare
with any two leading wheat-growing

ment Committee, Atlanta, Georgia.
states of this country; therefore, they
are not important factors.
Russia is the great granary of Eu-
rope and Asia. Those who have
watched the political trend of that
country see nothing but war and par
alyzed agriculture ahead, another
year ahead, if not for several years.
European countries in general are
short of labor. Rehabilitation of
armies progresses slowly and the Pc
Rod for fall sowing of small grain
in Europe will have passed before
any material change can be made
through recovery of labor from the
armies.
Therefore, there is going to be d
continued shortage of small grain in
Europe, making it probably necessary
for this country to supply as much
grain next year as this.
But instead of the nation maintain
ing its wheat acreage it is feared the
withdrawal of the governments guar
antee will result in a reduction.
In the South it is not only a good
farm practice to grow wheat, oats and
rye enough for home needs, but it is
very desirable, % to have winter
cover crops that will take up the
plant food that would otherwise wash
out of the soil with the winter rains
(2) to- provide light winter grazing
for livestock; 81 to furnish in early
spring some fresh cereal hay which
will be the better if it has vetch or
bur clover growing with it; (4) to
furnish vegetable matter or humus
to turn into the soil at the spring
blowing.
If all the cotton and corn fields
were sown to small grain in the fall
it would mean more cotton and corn,
better soil, larger returns from fer
tilizer and greater farm profits.
Too little attention is given to OBJ
tanning good wheat, oats and rye
seed; too little attention is given to
preparing a good seed bed, and too
little fertilizers are used in growing
the small grain crops in the South.
What is worth while doing at all is
worth doing well.

Mr.. Baughman is of the opinion that
the new regulation will do much to
prevent the misuse of cards by their
transfer to persons other than their
owners Misuse of such cards has been
frequent in the past.
MIR. Baughman has also sent out a
special warning to patrons of the

full about speeding their cars while GO

Vast number of cars run from Balti-
season and complaints of high speed
ing have in the past been frequent.
