Summa played center field for the 1917
Tiger baseball team for about half Of
the season but was unable to remain in
school to finish the year.
In the spring of 1918 Summa was
given a trial by the St. Louis Cardinals,
bui because Of lack of experience he
was farmed out to the Birmingham club
Of the Southern League. He seemed to
be unable to get to hitting in the Dixie

Norfolk club in the West Virginia
League where he found his batting eye

lariiy that the Pittsburgh club purchased
him. ~

SPRING WHEAT
MAY BE HELD
Representatives of Farmers
From Four States Agree
to $2.75 Minimum.

Representatives Of farmers Of four
states decided at a meeting in Kansas
City last week that spring wheat should
be held until it brings $2.75 bashel.
William Hirih, who is a member Of
committee Of seventeen appointed to
work out q plant for wheat marketing,
and J. A. Hudson represented Boone
county.
According to the representatives. there.
wheat is being bought at country ship
ping points at e and $40 bushel.
The price Of No. 2 wheat in Columbia,
however. is $2.25. II the farmers do
hold the price to SITS. it will mean s.

Our farmers can sell wheat at $2-26 q
bushel and get pay for all it cost them."
said o. r. Johnson. in charge Of farm
management in the College Of Agricul-
ture. The figure of s2.75 is too high.
II may not be too high for Kansas be-
cause Of the large abandoned acreage
in wheat there. hut il is too high for
Missouri. Attempts 10 hold up crops
have never worked and this one won't
work either.
-Some men in the stale could not sell
at that price. Perhaps 30 per cent would
need to sell At higher margin. but the
public cannot protect those. They must
either take less for their time or 60 out
Of business. The average yield is twelve
and ihree.fouffhs bushel per acre SO that
large Number who raise rs high as
twenty five bushels would make large
profit"
Experts from Missouri, Kansas and
Nebraska placed the country elevator
price Of wheat for these states at $252
in a conference at jefferson City Sep
tembef 10. at which Jewell Mayes rep
resented Missouri.
"if probably means that somewhere

LIME IMPROVES. MOST SOILS
Application Should Be Made consid.
erably In Advance for Seeding
Time for Glover.

Lime in some form improves most
soils for bluegrass and white clover.
and unless soils are already well SUD-
piled with lime 1t should be added at
the rate Of not less than 100 pounds
per Thousand square feet. The applI-
cation should be made considerably in
advance of seeding time. Applications
of lime are Of very doubtful value for
the bent grasses or The fescues unless
the soils are very acid or contain large
quantities Of poorly rotted organic
matter.
Preliminary preparation. by which is
meant the thorough stirring of the sur-
face foot of soil, should begin several
weeks prior to see,Iink TO allow suf.
ficient time for the ground to become
thoroughly settled and for the weed
seeds to terminate.
Information concerning making and
maintaining lawn is contained in
Department Circular 40. issued nv the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Copies may be had upon appli.
cation to the department at Washing

To eliminate the confusion and dis

specialists of the bureau of markets,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. say that the establishment of a
universal unit of measurement is nee
essary.
The unit of bushel measurement rec
commended is the stricken, or Winches-
ter. bushel of 2.15042 cubic inches.
With this contsiner there is no diff

ure is short, as it is required to be
level full II is a unit of sufficient
size to permit the buyer to distinguish
the multiples that are practicable for
use in the sale or shipment of fruits
and vegetables. and in the opinion Of
the bureaus specialists the establish
ment Of this unit of measurement for
containers of fruits and vegetables
sold by volume would constitute an i'm
portant step toward formulating con-
sistent policy Of standardization that
could be applied to practically all
types of packages.
The bureaus specialists also believe
that all weight per bushel laws relat-
ing to fruits and vegetables should be
repealed for the reason that there is
no definite relation between dry meas
ure and weight. For example. a has
ket that contains 30 pounds Of small
apples may not hold more than As
pounds Of large ones. Containers are
used INTERCHANGEABLE. and box con-
structed to hold 50 pounds Of apples
becomes a 25-pound box when filed

EMPEROR FRIEND OF LOVELY
Napoleon III Declared to Have Had
Genuine Regard for the Humber
of His Subjects.

The friendly feeling of Napoleon III

Carey in her can Empress In Exile, -
In the Century magazine, and she
gives as her authority Empress Eu-
genie, wife of the last of the en-
perors. Whatever his failIngs to-
ward her had BEEN" the author says.
@she professed warm admiration OF
his love of hard work, his pluck and
his great kindness of heart and
thoughtfulness for every one. The
emperor genuinely loved the poor and
humble among his subjects, with no
thought Of policy. He was too good
and generous for his peoples under
standing. Had ne been tyranHical
and made use Of them and trampled
them down like some other soverelgns.
they would have behaved better to-
ward him, she (Eugenie) said.
Napoleon was dreamer and
spent much of his time to the serious
thinking out of schemes for the bene-
at of his people. and all mankind.
His life's ambition was to better their
lot. He had great magnetism, espe-
cfaily with the working classes. The
empress charmed every stranger, but
the emperor was really more personal
" and deeply loved by his encourage
than was his consort."
