Br~ookings, s. d., May 27.-Buck-
wheat is a good crop for late seeding
In places, where other crops have been
| spoiled by flock. or where there is an
| acreage that is not sown on account
| of the enormous amount of spring
! work, the buckwheat can sometimes
be used to good advantage, says Man
ley Champiin, extension agronomist at
State College.
1t also has some value as a smother
crop to help clean the land and rend-
CT 1t less weedy the next year.
Silver Hull and Japanese are the
standard varieties and are the ones
commonly used.
The soil should be plowed from S to
: inches deep and dragged thoroughly
Immediately after blowing. II neces-
sary In order to secure a seed bed firm
enough to enable one to do a good job
OF seeding, 1t is a good plan to drag.
then roll and then drag the land again
before seeding.
The seed can be broadcasted or drill
ed at the rate Of "a to AZ pounds per
acre, depending upon how clean and
free from weeds the land is, the thick
err seeding to be used on weedy land.
Medium seeding is all right for land in
ordinarily good condition. June / to
20 is probably the best time to seed.
Cutting is usually left until the cool
weather Of autumn, as the plants will
continue 10 bloom and go to seed until
killed by frost In the east the crop is
usually harvested with a reaper and
the punches are cooked up in small
cocks after three or four days drying
in order to prevent loss in curing.
The crop can be cut with a grain bind
err, by making the bundles small and
Getting them in long shocks in the
same way that oats are often shocked.
This method of shocking insures bet
ter drying.
There is usually a good market for
buckwheat as 1t is used for human food
in the making of giddiy cakes, etc.
Bees secure honey from blossoms. 1t
is also a good poultry food.
Buckwheat will not stand frost un-
Ill it ia nearly matured SO that the
crop is sometimes lost by freezing be-
fore II natures. One need fear little
trouble from weeds or plant diseases
1t grows so rapidly that it smothers
most weeds. No insect troubles have
been serious.

THUMBS IN PICS
Proper Feed and Care VIII Prevent
This

Brookings, s. Oak, May 1s-Thumps
In pigs is like ~hiccoughs in man, pro-
duced by spasmodic c~ontractions OF
the diaphragm. the dividing muscle be-
tween the lung and abdominal cavities
says DIR. Weaver, Extension veterin-
arian al State College. The condition
is not in any way que to the heart ac-
tion. This can readily be determined
by placing the hand on the side OF
the pig. Thumps is a symptom Of in
digestion
The affected animal is nsaally more
or less on feed and may be slightly
affected with diarrhea. The pricipal
symptom is the constant humping OF
the sides OF the pig This 50 weakens
the animal as to finsiiy cause death.
Treatment is mostly preventative
Proper feed ana ARE viii prevent this
condition. Change the diet to a more
easily digested one ana feed less for a
few days. A small dose of csstoroil
may be given each PIG affected. The
rigs need exercise.

FARM BUREAU NOTES

The American Farm Bureau Fedora

Chicago The address is 1409 Mallers
Building.
A Farm Bureau organization drive
Is on In Wisconsin. 1900 farmers be-
came affiliated with the Farm Bureau
within ten days. Members are solicit
cd on a life basis. The membership in
that state is $1,000 a year. $3.50 of
which goes to the National and State
Federation and the remainder to the
county organization.
Missouri is holding a state wide
Farm Bureau Federation drive. Three
or four counties a week are being or
ganized. with a membership from 600
to 1000 per county.
Twenty nine states are now affiliat-
ed with the American Farm Bureau
Federation.
The American Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton has retained Clifford Thorne to
look after the interests of farmers and
shippers at the coming hearing Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
This is a preventative measure as it is
quite generally understood that the
railroads will 90 before the Commits

tural hosts in a number of hard fought
affairs with the railroads.
The American Farm Bureau has
over 100000 farmers members.

Capper.H ersman Bill
Nolan Bill

, This measure provides for a / per
cent tax on all land holdings in value
nbove $1,000 with no deductions for
loans or mortgages.
A law OF this kind would work a
hardship oil thousands of farmers who
have gone heavily in debt to buy land
IN to have a home of their own. IL a
similar law were enacted, applying
only to lands held for speculation 1t
would be a benefit to agriculture and
would probably release large amounts
of land to the farmer of smaller means
The American Farm Bureau is con-
Quoting a nationwide referendum,
through its membership asking each
farmer to express his sentiments for
or against this bill. The results in
various states will be placed before
the American Congress.
1t Is understood that the originators
OF the Nolan Bill are among that mar
row minded class OF Legislators who
look upon farmers a ~proiteers. To
Class a. farmer in surh company Is as
ridiculous as asburd. All business
men buy at wholesale prices and sell
a. retail. The farmer alone buys at
retail and sells at wholesale. The
farmers are the only class of produc-
ers which both buy and sell at the
other fellows price Every other pro-
Queer sets the selling price Of his COM
modify on a cost plus profit basis. The
pays the price whether rea-
sonable or unreasonable. Farmers
a never be classed among profteers
until they have the opportunity of con-
trolling profits themselves.
Should the American Farm Bureau
Federation succeed in getting the Cap
er-Hersman bill passed, and prevent
the Nolan bill from becoming a law,
this newest and largest natioal organi-
zation of farmers will have performed
a service worth many times the cost.

HELP FOR CHINA.

While everyone is much concerned Ter the saving of the lives of the chil- iren in central and southern Europe. who stand on the brink of starvation and are threatened by death from lack of protection from the cold as well as by hunger there is a plaintive> cry that comes from far of China, where famine conditions arc frightful.
 It is to the war that the conditions in Europe are due It is to the lack of supplies and the inability to get them. through lack of transportation, that mil lions of lives in China are going to be lost. The cry of distress that comes from any section of the globe where hu- manity is involved cannot be disregard ed. And it is to be remembered that in China a small amount is made to go a long way.
 China is a big country but 1t Is doubt. full is there is another that is as help less It isn't because there is a lack ot food supplies through the whole coun. try that one section is in danger of be. ing wiped out as far as inhabitants are concerned. The fact is that other sec tions of China are well supplied. bu- China hasn't developed as other coun tries and it hasn't the means of trans porting it's supplies within it's own boun. daries. It Is much like the situation would be in this country of having pien ty of coal mined in Pennsylvania. but nt : itransportatie lines to get 1t to the othei sections

NAMINa rHE CABINET.

Regardless of the speculation that is going on relative to the cabinet of Pres ident-elect Harding he is remaining a discreet silence until the proper n. time comes for announcing his selections. That he will make known some of the men chosen before he completes the makeup of the entire cabinet is entirely possible. Already several names have been mentioned for most all of the posts and there are those who feel confident that certain ones will be given certain portfolios without knowing any more about it than what their political in sight or their knowledge of men tells them.
 Of late there is strong feeling that Charles E. Hughes will be chosen as the head of the state department. This most important post should be filled by a man possessing the qualification fol administering the important duties con. nected herewith and if he is the choice the country will be quick to give it's ap- proval. Under his direction the ship oi state would be wisely guided.
 Whether Charles G. Dawes of Illinoi: will be the man for secretary of tht treasury is unsettled so far as announce ment to that effect is concerned. Ina he is thoroughly in touch with the du ties that would devolve upon such cabinet officer is fully recognized. He ii a man who has been sought for similar service without success in other years Whether Mir. Harding has prevailed up cn him to handle that most irnportan raelr at this tfraa will h-a aiso1nsed in d,,. time.

CANNON IN coNGREss.

Whether Uncle Joe Cannon holds the record for continuous service in the con- gress of the United States. or whethes his record is based upon the number of years he has served, regardless of two inter missions which he declares Were taken against his wishes there can be no question but what he is one of the most conspicuous figures in the national legis- lature and one whose name is familiar throughout the whole country. Forty four years as a national legislator has given Speaker Cannon an opportunity to be associated with a great many con- gressmen. He began his career in. con- gress long before many of us were born and he has outstayed hundreds of much | younger men. He has served under some of the country's greatest leaders and he l has had his own turn at congressional 1 leadership. Time and political misfor- 1 tunes have removed more powerful fig ures than he. He has felt the sting of
 political defeat but he has nevertheless fully demonstrated his ability to come back, and perhaps the most interesting | thing in connection with his long period | of service is that he has no idea of quit ting.
 While Uncle Joe has outdistanced the
 legislative records of anyone in this l country he is conscious of the. fact thai
 Gladstone served for a period of 5 years in the British house of commons, ant he will never be satisfied until he has l equalled and passed that. To do suci
 a thing he would be serving when wei
 in his nineties but if ambition has any
 thing to do with it there can be no ques
 tion but what he will make world rec
 ord
 II He has been closely identified with leg
 islative action. His voice has been ire
 quently heard on the floor of the hous and he is noted for his terse comment He frankly admits that he is credite with much which he never said, but ther f is before him an opportunity to recor
 his "reminiscences which ought not t
 be neglected whether he manages to out < do Gladstone or not. Cannon is a ns . tional figure whose career is not likel
 to be duplicated right away.

 The method of recruiting seems odd in these days, but in reality it was simple enough, mad was effective at the same time.
