prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
Since the introduction of the hardy
varieties of wheat from southeastern
Europe there has been a decided north
ward movement of the winter-wheat
area. This movement has been rapid
in recent years. The reasons therefor
are the generally large yields OF win
ter wheat due, first, to its earlier ma
turity, thus enabling it to escape hail,
hot winds and disease; second, to it's
greater drought resistance; and third.
to the better division of labor, which
it allows through fall seeding and ear
lier harvesting.
The profitable production of wheat
in the eastern part of the United
States depends to a considerable ex-
tent on the choice of the best-adapted
varieties. In general, the soft red
winter wheatS are grown, although soft
white winter wheats are popular in the
northeastern United States. especially
in New York and Pennsylvania. In
the extreme western portion Of the
eastern area, which is limited on the
west approximately by the line of
80 inches Of rainfall. hard red winter
Wheats OF the Turkey type are grown.
Along the line Of 80 inches rainfall
there is a transition zone in which
hard and soft red winter wheats sue
coed about equally well.
Better Varieties for Many Farms.
Many farmers are doubtless growing
poorer varieties Of wheat than they
might grow if they knew exactly what
was adapted to their localities and
farms. The United States Department
of Agriculture has just issued Farm

ers' Bulletin 1853, Varieties of Win
ter Wheat, Adapted to the Eastern
United States, which charts localities
in which various types of wheat can
be grown to advantage, and lists the
varieties adapted to each particular
locality.
The bulletin suggests that there is a
large local demand in New England
for wheat as a poultry or stock feed,
and 1t should not be difficult for sever
al farmers In almost every neighbor-
hood to sell oil the wheat they can
raise at a good price to their neigh
bors. Winter wheat will doubtless
produce better average yields, where
1t can be grown, than spring wheat.
ii proper cultural methods and suit
able varieties are used.
Improve Wheat Yield.
Wheat "a be improved in yield and
in other desirable characteristics by
the selection Of good heads or good
plants from the general field and grow
ing the seed from each individual head
or plant in separate rows. Continued
selection will result In constantly i'm
proved seed. Another method of puri-
flying a variety and increasing the
yield is what may be called mass Sc
lection. This consists simply in pick
ing out good heads from the field at
large, sowing the selected seed In a
small area, and r%eselecting it the next
harvest time. The bulletin may be
had on application.

Little Stories For Bedtime
 THORNTON w. BURGESS
GRANDFATHER FROG GOES TO
 SEE THE WORLD
BY THORNTON w. BuI

Grandfather Frog looked very sol- emn as he sat on his green lily pad in the Smiling Pool. He looked very much as if he had something on his mind. A foolish green fly actually brushed Grandfather Frogs nose, and he didn't even notfce-it. The fact is he did have simathing on his mind. 1t had been there ever since his cou sin, old MT. Toad, had called the day before and they had quarreled as usual over the question of whether it was best never to leave home or to go out into the Great World. Old MT. Toad had gone out into the Great World whenK he was very young, while Grandfather Frog had spent his whole life in the Smiling Pool, and each was sure that his way was best.
 Right in the midst of their quarrel along had come Farmer Browns boy. Now Grand father Frog is afraid of Farmer Browns boy. He always has been afraid of him, and ever since ne was big enough to jump he has dived headfirst into the Smiling Pool as soon as Farmer Browns boy has come near. Perhaps that is one reason why Farmer Browns boy has liked to throw stones and sticks at him. Thoughtless people often seem to find pleasure in frightening others So when Farmer Browns boy appeared this time Grandfather Frog stopped arguing with old Mir. Toad and with a great splash dived into the Smiling Pool and under a lily Dad There he stayed and watched his cousin, old Mir Toad, grinning in the most pro- voking way, for he wasn't afraid Of Farmer Browns boy. In fact, he had boasted that they were friends. Grandfather Frog had thought that this was just an idle boast, but when he saw Farmer Browns boy tickle old Mir Toad under his chin with a>straw. while MT. Toad sat perfectly still. and seemed to enjoy it. he knew that 1t was true.
 Grandfather Frog did not come out of his hiding place until after old NIT. Toad had gone back across the Green Meadows and Farmer Browns boy had gone home for his supper. Then Grandfather Frog had climbed back on his big green lilly pad and had sat there half the night without once leading the chorus of the Smiling Pool with his great deep bass voice, as he usually did. He was thinking, thinking very hard And now thls bright sunshiny morr-lg he was still thinking.
 The fact Is, Grandfather Frog was beginning to wonder if perhaps, after all. MT. Toad was right If the Great World had taught him how to make friends with Farmer Browns poy there really must. be some things worth learning there. Not for the

Expressing her appreciation of Ari- zona in verse, Mrs. Wylie Leeper, we'll known local club woman, is gaining prominence for herself and worth while advertising for the sun shine state in her poetry which is appearing in different magazines throughout the country.
 In the September number of Sports Afield Mrs. Leeper has one of her poems:

 health.
 As Arizona. think. perchance. when time shall
 cease, And all mems troubles end in peace. That God, in looking OCT the earth. Shall find place for Heavens new

 Another contribution by Mrs. Leper appears in the same issue of the magazine. It follows: FISHIN Some day when you long For the days that are gone, And your heart is bursting with
 wishin', Just forget all your sorrows And the troublesome morrows, And dig you some bait and go fishin'. l II | While you lie on the bank | Where it's shady and damp, And list to the hum of the bees, You'll find that your sorrows Cannot live through the morrows And you'll bury them deep under the | trees The fish may not bite 1 From morning till night, But that all goes with the fishin', You've had your days joy As you did when a boy, And you've eased your heart of its l wishin'.

parents when they are old But you may be certain that the attitude to- ward their parents which they are shaping and storing away is an exact reflection on the action of those parents toward their own father and mother.
 For many years I have known a woman who caused comment by the unusual consideration she gave the old mother whom she honored and
 cherished The choicest bonbon in
 the box, the finest fruit in the bas-
 ket, she took without thought or question for grandma. The children
 came to take this for granted and to
 wait naturally and cheerfully for
 everything until grandma had been
 provided for. Grandma lived quite happily to a good old age, and now her daughter, soon to be a grandma
 herself, lives with one of her chil- dren. And there without thought or question she is given first consider ation and always the first fruits.' And it works out just the same with the woman whose children see her disregard her parents or treat them with bad grace.

Snu9arum. Satd ne.. I'll oo it! world would Grandfather Frog have admitted to old MT. Toad or to anyone else that there was anything for him to learn, for you know he is very old, and by his friends he is ac- counted very wise. But right down in his heart he was beginning to think that perhaps there were some things which he couldn't learn in the Smiling Pool. So he sat and thought and thought. Suddenly he made up his mind.
 "Chugarum," said he. sT'll dd it."
 Do what2' asked Jerry AIuskrat, who happened to be swimming past.
 I'll go out and see for myself what this Great World my cousin, old MT. Toad. is so fond of talking about. is like,' replied Grandfather Frog.
 Don't you do it." advised Jerry Muskrat. Don't you do anything so foolish as that. You're too old. Grandfather Frog, to go out into the Great Werld.''
 Now, few old people like to be told that they are too old to do what they please. and Grandfather Frog is no different from others. You just mind your own affairs. Jerry Muskrat," he retorted sharply. T guess I know what is best for me without being told. If my cousin, old Mir. Toad, can take care of himself out in the Great World, I can. He isn't half so spry as | am I'm going. and that is all there is about it." With that Grandfather Frog dived into the Smiling Pool, swan across to a place where the bank was low, and without once looking back started across the Green Meadows to see the Great World.
