AVOID WASTE Ar
THRASH|NC Time.
Many Little Leaks Result in To-
tai Loss of Many Millions of
Bushels Each Year.
MACHINES NEED ADJUSTING
Estimated Total Saving In Dakotas
Minnesota and Montana Placed at
21,903,6o0 BusheIs-Tight-
Bottom Wagons Best.

Probably the most important indi-
rect means for increasing production
is the avoidance of waste. This should
be borne In mind with regard to wheat
at thrashing time. This operation
should be conducted with the greatest
care, and measures should be taken to
see that as little grain as possible is
lost or allowed to escape through
faulty operation Of the machines or un-
wise methods Of thrashing. This year
there is a particular necessity for
more careful handling Of the grain In
the fields and In thrashing to increase
the production.
Observations made by specialists of
the United States department of agri-
culture show that surprising amount
of wheat Is wasted In the thrashing
operation. In North Dakota, for in
stance. the average waste day on
about 26 per cent Of the rigs in opera
tion was 14.63 bushels for each rig.
After testing the machine and making
adjustments this loss was cut down to
4.O3 bushels day, or saving Of 1850
bushels. with total saving Of 1900
600 bushels in the entire state for the
season.
More Than 21,eoo, 600 Bushels Saved.
In South Dakota the testing and re-
adjustment Of the machines effected a
saving of 1873 bushels day on 18 per
cent of the machines tested, or 1,500,-
600 bushels for the state. In Montana,
through proper adjustment of the ma
chimes and avoidance Of waste, the saw
ing on Is per cent of the rigs was 706.-

ant evils.
The United States department Of ag-
riculture and the state colleges for
years have condemned this indlscrlm-
mate method Of marketing eggs.
Where It Is practiced the farmer re-
ceives less than he should for his good
products and the city consumer pays
more than Is necessary for those he
buys The charges for handling those
which are unfit are included in the
price asked for the good ones. To
get away from this the department
Of agriculture advocates the produc-
tion of infertile eggs, careful handling,
Gambling before selling, and the de-
mandlng of quality prices for quality
products instead Of selling them as
ungraded.

925 bushels for the season; and In Min
nesOta, on 80 per cent of the rigs,
100000 bushels. The estimated total
saving for 81 states in which the work
was carried on was q, 1884, 900 bushels.
This movement should interest both
thrashermen and farmers. The thrash
erman by means Of the tests Is better
able to check up the work being done
by his machine and can turn out more
grain a day, which means more money
both to himself and to the farmer.
After the faults of the machine are
once located and corrected 1t is an
easy matter to check up occasionally
and keep the machine running with the
least waste.
The farmer can save a great deal Of
grain by the following methods: Rak-
ing the shock rows; using tight-bottom
bundle wagons for shock thrashing; by
careful and thorough cleanup around
the machine and the use of large
canvas spread OH the ground under the
feeder to catch the grain which shat
ters out in the process of feeding and
that which leaks out around the front
end of the machine. AS to raking the
scatterings along the shock rows, In
Wisconsin one field of % acres gave
n yield of 1S5 bushels. In Oklahoma
90 acres gave 40 bushels In one case
and in another 20 acres gave 80 bush
els. oklahoma reported saving Of
5,063 bushels for the raking Of scatter
ings on 144 farms. Kansas reported
saving OF 1h bushels an acre, and III
nois one-half bushel an acre.
Tight Bottom Wagons Prevent Waste.
The use of tight-bottom bundle wag-
ons I'm North Dakota saved between
600 and 800 bushels in thrashlng 1900
acres. In Wisconsin 1t is estimated
that 100000 bushels were saved by
tight-bottom wagons. The idea OF
using the canvas on the ground under
the feeder not only saves grain but
saves time on the cleanup, and should
certainly be considered by both thrash
ermen and farmers.
A very definite notion of the amount
Of grain wasted about the rig may be
had from making so-called blanket
test. This consists Of spreading
sheet of canvas or other suitable cloth

favori ag reorganization OF the Ma
tional Education Association, laid
plans for a meeting OF Utah members
late today.
The Utahans are conceded to hold
the balance Of power, SO far as num-
bers ;tre concerned, in this conven-1
ton, because Of it's location. Their,
meeting was called to consider the.
plan IF reorganization on delegate
basis proposed by the board OF d.
rectors.
Miss Marguerite Hally, Of Chicago,
leader of the anti organization forces,l
planned to attend the meeting, and
it is said that she hoped to be able
to swing the Utah delegation and
thereby turn the largest single factor
hume .ically In the convention against
reorg;lniza ton. She has not been
invited to speak at the Utah meeting.

Admits Ownership of Guns.

Chicago. July s. - Lieut.. Carl
Wanderer. whose wife and an un-
identified man were killed at the en-
trance of the Wanderers apartment
house several weeks ago, admitted to
the police today that both guns used
In the double killing belonged to him.
He had previously maintained that
the stranger killed his wife in an
attempted holdup and that he drew
his gun and shot the man.
Police traced the number of the
gun found beside the stranger and
found the weapon had been in
Wanderers possession for several
days before the shooting. The for
mer army officer then said he had
tradedH guns with the man after the
shooting because the dead mans re-
volver was the best.
In his admission today of owner
ship of both guns he claimed, police
say, that the stranger took one gun
away from him and killed Mrs.
Wanderer then Wanderer drew the
other gun and shot his wife's as
sailant.

Shortly after this statement it was
reported that Wanderer hau made n

was the discovery Of the initials l.. S.

Washington, July s. President
Wilson Is going to take off his

at the. White House today.
The official announcement said
that the extent to which the, presi-
dent will plunge into the campaign
will be limited only by the plans
worked out by the national COM

Inasmuch as the league of nations

U. S. ALLOWS RUSSIAN TRADE.
Federal Ban Lifted But Trader
Must Assume All Risk.

Washington, July S.-Announce-
ment OF the lifting of restrictions in
trade with Russia was made yester-
day by the state department.
in taking this action the United
States expressly states that no
recognition of the soviet government
is implied. Individuals and corpora
tions trading with Russia must do
so at their own risk and no assist
ance or protection from consular au-
thorities may be accepted. Materials
for war purposes continue under the
ban.
Just how satisfactory the lifting Of
restrictions will be to American eX-
porters is uncertain. The announce
ment states that the postoffice de-
partment will be unable to accept
mail from or to soviet Russia, and
that goods can not be forwarded by
parcel post. The state department
also will continue to refuse passports
for Russia.
This means that. such persons or
corporations which wish to trade
with Russia may do so by dealing
with the soviet agents in the United
States or in other countries. No fa-
cilities are provided by which the
American manufacturer may conduct
negotiations directly with persons in
Russia.
Announcement Of the lifting Of re-
strictions came unexpectedly. Secre-
tary Of State Colby, who Is in San
II c%- Ia 80
parture that there was no prospect
Of any action in the near future. To-
days announcement, therefore, Is re-
garded as having come direct from
the White House, altho the an
nouncement actually was made by
Under Secretary Of State Davis, who
Is in charge in the absence Of Secre-
tary Colby.
1t was stated that today's action
was taken solely by the United
States without. any agreement for
similar action by the various allied
countries. The allied governments
We're notified OF the step contemplate
ed by the United States.
In its announcement the state de-,
partment warns American citizens
against the risks incident to the acs
ceptance OF commodities or other
values which may later be brought
into question. The United States. II
is explained. does not recognize the
validity Of Industrial or commercial
consequences granted by an existing
Russian authority.
State department officials say the
indications are, that Russia has but a
small quantity Of raw materials for
export, that the purchasing power or
Russia Is very limited, and that for
these reasons there will not be any
considerable trade, If any, with Rus
sia.
The attitude Of the United States
towards the recognition Of any fac
ton In control of soviet Russia has
not changed. This government, an
official stated, is unwilling "by
means Of political recognition, to
lead positive assistance to faction
whose disregard Of the principles OF
democracy it considers to be eviden-
ced at home by the maintenance Of IA
minority despotism and abroad by an
tnsidious propaganda to subvert
popular governmental institutions
expressive Of the will Of the people,"
