PREPARING THE SEED BED

Spring wheat should be sown as
soon in the spring as the seed bed can
be properly prepared. termination
takes place in the ground when the
temperature Is about AZ to so degrees.
Generally the quantity of seed per
acre varies six TO eight pecks. Your
own experience will tell you how much.
Drilling is better than b~roadcasting.
The seed bed should be loose on top
and the root bed firm underneath. The
use of the corrugated roller Is recon-
mended.
Marquis is an early variety rlpening
from 90 to 1875 days after sowing, the
average being about 115 days. This
makes it three or four days earlier
than most of the other Fife varieties,
but 1t should be put into the ground
just as soon as the seed bed may be
prepared,
The seed usually should be sown
about two to three inches deep. The
important thing is to get it into soil
sufficiently moist to insure germina-
ton. In heavy wet soil one to two
inches will be deep enough.
Old or stubble land should be plowed
in the fall or as early as possible In
the spring. Sandy soils with a ten
dency to drift, should belplowed under
In the spring. When land is fail-piowed
II should be left rough to catch and
hold the snow and to prevent soil
blowing. Plow six to eight inches
deep. covering all weeds and trash.
Spring blowing may be slightly shall
lower than fall blowing and should be
worked down Immediately. The sur
face mulch should not be too fine and
powdery In districts where blowing is
common. besides the rain may puddle
1t and not penetrate so readily. An ex.
cellent seed bed can be made In the
spring on fall blowing or on spring
blowing followed Immediately with
disks and corrugated rollers.

THE BEST WHEAT

Contrary to the common opinion,
seed wheat does not "run out" 1t IL true
that its quality will deteriorate and
the yield become smaller If left to its
enemies which are inherent in the
wheat.
1t is therefore important that con.
certed action should be taken to es-
tablish more profitable farming meth
DDS.
1t Is wise to establish the variety
best adapted to soil and climate. In
almost every county Marquis wheat
should be urged. There is nothing the
matter with Fife and Blue Stem ex-
cept that they have not been kept pure
and the record will show that they
do not yield so well and are not so
safe, but taking everything into con-
sideration. Marquis is the most desir-
able wheat. Velvet Chaff lacks bread
gluten and is too soft. Durum is a fine
wheat for certain purposes, but has
a limited market, there being a de-
mand for not more than 10 per cent
IL thc totai sprung WHEAT crop. Inc
price of Durum is often 20 to so cents
per bushel below the price of No. 1
Northern, which in itself is argument
enough. This applies to the macaroni
durums which should not be confused
in any way with the so-called Red
Durum, Rust Proof" or Durum Fife
wheat which has been making so much
trouble and for which there is prac-
tically no market, and should not be
seeded under any circumstances.

BREAD VS.. BACON

An unskilled laborer at the minimum
wage Of 81 per day has to work more
than three weeks to pay for his years
supply of bacon, IL he can afford to
buy 1t. In a single day he can make
enough money to buy one-third Of a
barrel Of flour and with three days
work car buy his entire years supply.
Eat bread. There Is nothing so cheap
and nutritious no matter what the
price of -four.

KILL THE BARBERRY BUSH

Wheat rust is hard to fight. There
is no treatment Of the seed which Is
any good. The rust spores winter on
the barberry bush. Every boy and
girl ought to know the barberry bush
and report every q left growing.
There is no other treatment for rust
except 70 OK N early variety NJ early
as possible.

WHAT ssAiI>ws 20 soa ssssss svssAri
The Five Fundamentals Which VIII
Insure a Good Crop.

Insure a Good Crop.
I. Choose the Best Variety. Mar
Quis is the best, then Fife, then Blue
stem. Velvet Char is weak In bread
gluten. Durum has a limited market.
Red Durum has no market at all. Don't
sow 1t under any circumstances.
2. Clean Seed In Tanning Mil. To
remove weed seeds, shriveled kernels
and trash.
8. Treat for Smut and Scab. Use
n pound full-strength formaldehyde
In 40 gallons of water. Full directions
at any drug store.
q. Be Sure the Seed VIII Grow. Fold
100 kernels into a piece Of wet blotting
paper. Keep damp for SIX days. Nine
ty-fve kernels should grow strong.
8. The Seed Bed. Soil loose and fine
on top, packed solid beneath. Sow
with drill as early as possible.

Improving Electric Facilities.

In order to double the ice capacity
and insure continuous electric SER
vice the Snyder Utilities company
have completed plans calling for the
expenditure OF about SIS, 900 during
this fall and winter for new equip
ment for the plant, including a 1856
h. p. oil engine complete with gener-
ator, etc, also rs h. p. motor with
silent chain drive for the ice ma
chine This equipment will insure
Snyder electric service second to
none and will enable the local plant
to take care OF some OF the demands
for ice outside the immediate terri
tory of the town and county.
The firm reports having all the
business that can be taken care of at
present and are we'll pleased with
the increase of business given them
over their successors of last year
due no doubt in a considerablede-
gree to the improvement in the SER

rather strenuous efforts on the part
of those responsible for the opera
tion OF the plant to give continuous
service now, owing to the old engine
which has been in the plant for sew
eral years and which has never been
thoroughly dependable. However,
with the aid of the smaller new unit
