A friend of ours who mixes the mu-
sic of dreams with the rattle and bang
and noise and clamor of life, SO that
the n will soften and thus make
more endurable the other, has a favor
lite theory Of combining smokestacks
with gardens, says a writer in Los An
geles Times.
His idee is for the wage Garner. 1t
is an idea through which the man who
depends on a salary or a days pay
may place himself in a position of in
dependence. And it seems to us that
there car be no bigger or more i'm
portant idea than this in all the philoso-
ply Of life.
What could be more sensible and
practicable than a scheme whereby
the wage Garner raises on a piece Of
land near the city all, or nearly all,
that his family needs in the way Of

SEED BED FOR WHEAT
Loose on Top, but a Firmly Packed
Root Bed.

Wheat is a shallow feeding plant
and therefore should have a firm
foundation. When wheat is to follow
corn or other cultivated crop, no plow-
Ing is necessary, but the surface
should be made fine with a harrow.
The blowing ought to be done in the
fall for best results. If deep turned a
few days before seeding in the spring
time, no maximum yield is possible IN
less some sort of s%ub-packing imple-
ment can firm the root bed thoroughly.
Do you remember the circus ring in
the morning after the show, after the
horses have pounded it down and at
the same time scuffed it up on top?
That is the ideal condition for the
seed and root bed.
Deep blowing is probably necessary
now and then owing to conditions, but
the DOT bed should not be disturbed
by the pillow or any other tool for
spring seeding.
The spring work should be nothing
more or less than pulverizing the top
layer about two or three inches deep
on corn land or land which is in prop
er condition.
If necessary to plow in spring, a
heavy corrugated roller should be used.
The root bed must be packed hard
and firm. A hard under surface is i'm
perative whether obtained by machi-
merry or by nature.

There are three serious diseases:
Smut, scab and rust. Rust cannot be
prevented by seed treatment. The
other two can. Damage from rust can
be partially avoided by selecting a
good quality Of Marquis seed and by
early seeding in order to get an early
maturity.
Blow out with a tanning mill as
many of the smut balls as possible or
remove them FROM the grain by other
means. There r a number Of ways
of treating the seed with formalde-
hyde. Perhaps the simplest and most
successful method Is to mix one pound

attack which appears to have been in
sane in it's violence.
The body of Philhower was found on
the floor of his den, twisted from the
fury of the death struggle. His skull
was fractured from the blows dealt
with the ancient sword and wounds on
his head and body indicated that his
assailant had used the weapon both as
a saber and a sword. The slungshot,
which Philhower is believed to have
used, was slashed in several places.

New York.-Criminal experts In New

an effort to find a solution Of the mys-
terry surrounding the murder of Win
field Scott Philhower, rich electrical
expert and curio collector, whose mu-
tilated body was found in his den, with
a queer Oriental sword and a heavy
leather slungshot ear by. Both the
sword and the slungshot, alike unique
in design, were among the curios Phil
hover had collected during his life
time. There was missing only a beau
tiful diamond ring which Philhower
wore, indicating that robbery was not
the sole motive for the crime.
The police, it is stated, are proceed
ing On the basis that the murder arose
out of something deeper, some long en-
tertained grudge or some suddenly de-
veloped and intense hatred. 1t may
have been the act Of an Oriental IA
matte, they say. The sole clew is said
to be a piece Of paper with Philhow-
er's address scrubbed upon it. The pa
per was found near the body and the
address was not Philhower's writ
ing.
Slaughtered With Ancient Sword.
According to the evidence in the
hands Of the police, Philhower was in
his den when his assailant entered
through a narrow hall and pulled an
ancient Oriental sword from the wall.

known that death was upon him, for
he jerked q heavy leather slungshot

tub onto a clean canvas or platform.
Reverse the position Of the tubs and
proceed as before. Cover the treated
seed with sacks or blankets or another
canvas which have also been treated
in the solution. Leave covered for
several hours or over night. Don't let
the seed freeze while damp.
Another very successful method is
to put the wheat in a tight wagon box,
drive along after the seeder in the
field, sprinkle and shovel over the
seed, then shovel the wet seed into
the seeder box and SOW it wet. Be
careful that you don't clog your seed
ing spouts.
The formaldehyde treatment of the
seed frequently increases the yield
more than would be naturally expect
ed from simply replacing the smutted
heads with sound ones. A substantial
gain is made from the use Of formal
dehyde. Increases of we four BUSH
els per acre have been found in spring
wheat in which only a little over one
and one-half bushels were actually de-
stroyed by smut. This is probably
due to the fact that the grain is af-
fected by other seed-borne parasites
than smut and scab and which are as
effectually checked by the treatment.

coming struggle for supremacy, if not tor existence itself, in the automo- tive field was. predicted by Charles Cuoltdae Parlin, manager of the con- mercial research department of the Cur tis Publishing Company, in a talk re- gently before group of executives of the Franklin Automobile Company at Syracuse.
 When production catches up to de- mand. as is sure to happen before long," said MT. Parlin, ''it will be case of the survival of the fittest Drawing a con- crusion from the agricultural implement fleic in which late years has witnessed great reduction in the number of firms engaged while business done has in- creased many times,, Mir.

 n-1n that ultimately there would not be more than twenty-five automobile manufacturers in the United States"
 Anaiyzng the various qualifications which would insure permanency in the field, he stressed the importance of or ganization, loyalty and high ideals in workmanship
 departments are more in the public eye perhaps than the production end of a business" said he, ito my mind the men who are actually building a car are charged with the real responsibility upon which rests the future success of the company. There is one thing advertis- ing will not do-it will not build per- manent market for an inferior product And when the period of retrenchment does come, the manufacturer who has built something into his car that the other fellow hasn't, who has built a quality product that is recognized as such by the public generally, will not suffer-"

TRAFFIC CONTROL
 ON THE HIGHWAYS Also Urge That Road Sys- tens Be Financed By
 General Taxation

New York, June 5.-Ample protection of life and property and a more stringent control of traffic to secure safety and added comfort, have become necessary on the more important national anu state highway systems, is the belief ot the American Automobile Association. expressed in action taken at it's anndal meeting just held in New York city. To its clubs throughout the country and to members generally, the A. A A. de- cided to recommend the esta blishment in their respective states of state constable lary or other satisfactory methods to pro- vide daily and nightly patrol of the most important thoroughfares.
 Referring to the tendency in certain states to finance road programmes en- tirely from the fees paid by motor car owners, the users organizati ton reiterate,l it's opposition to what it considers an iI- logical plan, and will urge everywhere the necessity for fair dealing in matters af- fecting highways taxation. It is the con- tention of the motorists that state sys- temS should be built through general taxation, and with the registration ana other automobile taxes reserved, as general rule for maintenance purposes.
 Since Congress has not found time to answer the plea of the motorists for the acceptance of single state registration in all other states for the entire twelve months, it was voted that renewed et- forts be made to secure the passage Of the SNeet-Pitman bills during the pres ent year, so that only one number plate would be required in 1921.
 In the belief that the construction of main highways is an economical propo- sition at the present time, the meeting decided to protest to the Interstate Com merce Commission, the Railway Execu tives Association, and the American Railway Association against the curtail- ment of cars for the shipment of ma terials and machinery necessary to high way work.
