For winter wheat it has been found
that the stand of wheat obtained de-
pends greatly not only on the quantity
! of seed sown, but on the condition of
the seed bed. the method Of treatment
for smut, the depth the seed IS put in
the ground, and the tine Of sowing. ON
account of the prevalence Of weeds it
ii always desirable to secure q good
uniform stand Of winter wheat. Spots
where wheat fails 10 grow will usually
be occupied by weeds
One big advantage in keeping the
summerfallow free from weeds and
fairly well cultivated is the greater
chance of securing good stand Of
wheat on such ground. 1t 1t usually
difficult to get a good stand of winter
wheat on poorly prepared or weedy
summerfallow. As general rule bet
ter stands Of winter wheat can be OBJ
tanned from shallow than from deep
sowin..
ON the average, higher yields of
winter wheat have been obtained at
the Moro Station from sowing com
paratively early in the fall. The fol-
lowing are average yields obtained
from sowing Turkey winter wheat on
different dates in the fall The figures
are average Yields for all rates, from
to pecks per acre, for each date for
u six year period:
sown September IL 33.9 bushels per
acre.
sown October 2, 32.5 bushels. per
acre.
Sown October II, 3O.7 bushels per
acre.
sown October u. 26.S bushels per
acre.
Sown November Is, 23.9 bushels per
acre.
The above figures emphasize the
advantage Of early sow.M Of winter
wheat. In this connection, however,
farmers are urged to use extreme care
in sowing winter wheat in dry ground.
There is no advantage in sowing the
wheat unless there is reasonable assur-
ance that there is enough moisture in
the ground to eerminate il and keep
il growing.
It has been found that if wheat Is
sowu 'in the dust" il is better 10 treat
it for smut with Bluestone rather than
with formaldehyde. The formalde-
hyde treatment, however. is probably
better if the seed in sown in moist soil.

early maturity Is likely to prove a
popular wheat for the shallow soils OF
the Columbia Basin.
The production Of spring wheat il
not so important in Eastern oregon
as that of winter wheat. Spring
wheat, however, must occasionally be
! grown because of adverse autumn
! weather conditions which prevent the
! planting Of winter wheat or because
of the wlnter-killins of winter wheat.
a large number Of varieties Of spring
wheat have been tired at Moro and Of
those that have been in the trial for
a period Of five years or longer, Bobs
and Early Baart have been the highest
yielders. During the past three years,
however, some new spring wheats
from Australia have consistently out
yielded all other spring g-sown varieties.
These wheats, Federation and Hard
Federal on have exceeded the yields
Of Pacific Bluestem more than 35 per
cent and have exceeded the yield of
Early Paart more than 20 per cent.
The Fl,rd Federation variety Is also
an exceedingly good milling wheat.
1t has been increased and distributed
from the Sherman County Branch
Station and will undoubtedly be COM
mercal wheat in Oregon within
year or so. The Federation variety,
which Is a softer and a later maturing
wheat than Hard Federation, is prov
ing to be a very popular wheat in GER
tain irrigated sections of oregon and
Idaho.
OF the many barley varieties tried at
the Moro Station, the Marout variety
has consistently given the highest
yields. Mariout barley is an early ma
turing, large grained, bearded variety
introduced in this country years ago
by the Department of Agriculture
from Egypt. Considerable work is
now being done at the Station in at
tempting to produce high yielding
strain of beardless barley.
or the oat varieties tired, early ma
turing varieties in general have done
best at Moro. Sixty Day, c. |. No. 357
and Three Grain have been the three
highest yielding varieties
Rate and Date Of Sowing Experiments
The rate and date of sowing grain
on dry farm soils frequently influence
the yields obtained. Extensive expert
ments to determine the correct rate
and date of sowing winter and spring
wheat have been carried on at the
Moro Station for the past nine years.

LIKES JAIL; WILL NOT LEAVE
Man in Pennsylvania Bastile Manip- uIates Bail Law to Escape
 Freedom

Bloomington, Pa.-The Columbia county jail has a prisoner who likes the bastile so well he will not leave, although his time is up. He is John Eek of Berwick, who was sentenced to ten days in jail for refusal to pay a fine of $10 for failure to secure a license for his dog.
 Eek knew it was time to go home. so he asked Sheriff Hidlay to take out an appeal for him. He was then asked for bail, and would not furnish it, so he will remain in jail at least until the May term of court.
 Sure I want to stay in jail" Eek said. "I get three good meals a day. and the sheriff treats me right. fm out of work, anyway. and don't know where my next meal would come from if I did go home, so Pm better satisfied to stay here. It's warmer nights than sleeping in house with out any fires. too"

WAITS FOR HANGING
Sixteen Years Oklahoma Negro Has Been Kept in Suspense.
Sentenced for Murder in 1905 and Authorities Have Not Yet Set
 the Date for Execution.

Oklahoma Cfty.-For sixteen years Kid Kelly, Oklahoma negro, murderer of Jim Dillingham;, has been impris- oned in Oklahoma, daily awaiting word from the legally constituted authorities that will set the date for his execution at the hands of the fed eral or state governments. And his suspense is not yet ended.
 Since October 1905 the negro has been imprisoned and for the last ten years has been in the custody of the prison authorities at McAlester. who have not even ordinary commitment papers as their authority for his in- carceration. The only document pos sessed by the prison. according to the records is an order instrueting the sheriff of that county to convey the negro to the state penitentiary at Me Alester and deliver him to the warden for confinement awaiting the final action of the court.
 There the authority ends.
 While Kelly putters around the prison enclosure awaiting the day when the courts shall decide the date of his execution. legal lights are bow ing their heads before law books in an endeavor to discover the real status of the prisoner; why the sentence has never been carried out why he has never been released, and reviewing the case. which in the opinion of some of the most talented of the legal pro fession, is not only without precedent, but also a most vivid example of the fallibility of courts.
 It appears that unless some person takes active. interest in the procedure Kelly will be permitted to live and die a natural death in the state prison. although it is generally agreed among those who have been interested from time to time that his trial, conviction and sentence was travesty upon court procedure
 According to those who participated in the original trial, although most of those who were directly interested are dead or scattered to the four corners of the Union Kelly's attorney was a man whose legal knowledge was neager, having just prior to the trial been admitted to the practice of law, his previous training having been de- voted to the clergy.
 It is stated by those whose recollec- ton of the case is the best that the United States district attorney offered to permit Kelly to enter a plea of guilty to a charge of manslaughter and accept a sentence of five years in the federal penitentiary. This offer it is said, was indignantly refused by the attorney for the defense.

ITALY HUNTS OIL AT HOME
Government Engineers Report Large Quantities Can Be Obtained on
 Island of Sicily.

Rome-The Italian government has decided to search for petroleum at home.
 The country needs about 100000 tons year including heavy oils and henzine This is at present supplied by America, and the high exchange makes the business very expensive So far, Italy only produces about one sixteenth of the oil needed.
 Italian engineers, who have studied the fields, report that oil can be ob- tained in large quantities from the is- land of Sicily, that part of southern Italy known as the Basilicata, from Salerno, Lazio and the Avelino prov ince. So the ministry of industry has decided to spend some money in boring for oil in those districts. Thus far the sums voted are Small, being little over a million lire (about S363000). But it is hoped that if the search now being undertaken brings good results more will be ap- propriated very soon.

THE RIGHT THING
 AT THE RIGHT TIME
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
THE GIVEAWAY

man by nothing is so well betrayed as by his manners-Spenser. TT HERE are many persons who feel Il that a mans table manners are an index to his general good breeding. If he handles his knife and fork in the way that is accepted as "correct, they will put him down as well bred until they have very conclusive evidence that he is not; but if he shows ignor- anee of or indifference to this accept ed method then it will take much to make them believe that he has any claim to good breeding. This may be unfair, but it is true. Here are some of the things that convention requires us to remember in our manners at the table:
 The salad is cut with the side of the fork and then eaten from the side of the fork
 Fish, soft entrees and, in fact, any thing that does not absolutely demand the use of a knife, are separated into small pieces by the use of the fork, which is most excellent, as the knife at its best is a most ungainly utensil.
 That you should never mash your food with your fork and never sit with your fork or knife upraised, like tele- graph pole.
 That when not in use, either knife or fork must be laid on the plate at one side
 Never tilt your fork and knife on the sides of your plate, that is, with the handle on the tablecloth on either side and the tips on the edge of the plate.
 That every time course is removed you should lay the knife, fork or spoon used in eating it on the side of the plate.
 Do not cross knife and fork on the plate, but lay them side by side.
 In eating soup, custard, fruit, or any dish which demands a spoon, be sure you sip the food noiselessly from the side of the spoon, never from the tip.
 Never dip your individual fork or spoon into a dish that is passed to yon, but always employ the fork or spoon which will be found on the tray beside the dish, or on the dish itself.
 All sorts of small relishes, like rad are eaten from the fingers, but this must be done very daintily.

REAP RICH HARVEST
Berlin Marriage Profiteers Prey
 on Young Couples.
-Move Started to Stop the Practice.

Berlin.-Marriag licenses are be- ing utilized for profiteering by Ger mans. The marriage ''profiteer" de veloped out of the situation which has made necessary the strict "rationing of housing space.
 A married couple or pair about to be married may obtain permission to occupy certain rooms by presenta- tion of the marriage license to the housing offices.
 It has been discovered that many marriage licenses have been issued to men and women who have no inten- tion to marry, but having secured the license and the permission to occupy the number of rooms allotted to mar ried persons sell the permission to married folks or others who need rooms and cannot find them.
 The officials say some profitable business has been done, but that the practice is being stopped by keeping watch on those to whom marriage licenses are granted and withdrawing permission to occupy rooms unless the marriage is performed.
 Marriages, however, eclipsed all previous records in the last year. The number has increased two-fold over prewar years, and many fold over the marriages during the war, which fell to less than half the normal number.
 Many young folks today are get ting married here simply to get a room cheaply," said a Berlin official ''The cost of the dwelling is cut iB half by the marriage of a man and woman both of whom are working.
 "They also feel they can cooperate to some advantage in the matter of food, which is a serious problem"

VEGETABLE LIFE
 GERM ISOLATED
Scientist Succeeds in Extracting Vitamine Properties From
 Fruits and Vegetables.
MAY BE OF GREAT VALUE
Doctor Cox Believes That His Dis coVery Will Tend to Banish Mall nutrition if Benefits Are Extend
 ed to Entire Population.

New York.-Dr Harry Barringer many other contrivances, announced that he had succeeded in extracting the vitamine properties from fruits and vegetables. AS it Is becoming in- creasfngly recognized by scientists that many people, including those pre- sumably healthy" are unscientifical- ly nourished because they eat food lacking sufficient vitamine properties, Doctor Cox feels that his discovery would tend to banish malnutrition if its benefits were extended to the en- tire population.
 In explaining his discovery Doctor Cox said that since a seed will ger minate when carried over from one season to another, 1t was evident that all vegetable matter that is possible of recreation must of necessity have living force within itself AS the germ of life is in the seed, some part of the vegetable is living or vitamie part.
 Begins Experiments on Yeast.
 Beginning his experiments with vitamines about year ago, Doctor Cox found it possible to extract them from yeast. Once he isolated the vitanie cell from yeast he went on to other vegetables and fruits. After obtaining the vitamic cells from fruits and vegetables he placed them under the microscope and found that they were similar in shape, appearance and action to the yeast yitamine.
 However, after extracting the vita mic properties from fruits and vege- tables, Dr. Cox knew no more about the vitamiEes than that they reacted in certain way.
 All I know is that I extracted the living vitamic property the part that is alive,' he said. Ut is like setting aside that part of the grain which creates new life.
 'If the drain pipe were a digestive organ it would have the best digestion in the world because it would be best fed. That is why soup is such good thlng. The vitamic property of the vegetables is cooked into it.
 The Next Problem.
 "Malnutrition is caused by lack of consumption of vitamines in our food. We hear people complain of being exhausted. They say their food does hem no good They lack vitamines.
 Now the problem arises of how to get people to partake of food that is rich in vitamines. How. then, to get the living fruit and vegetable proper ties to the table, It seems to me that if the fruits and vegetables that are wasted in such prodigious quantities every year could be utilized so that their vitamic properties could be ex- tracted and made available to the people it would solve the problem.
 "The extract could be used in the manner of a sediment. To add one spoonful of vitamic, as I call the sub stance, to a plateful of food would give all the vitamine ore would need for a meal Growing children partic- ularly would be benefited by it and 1t seems to me it would tend to solve the problem of malnutrition."
