call on me at any time during the
day or evening.
2-4-7-4 formula is one that is highly
recommended for wheat and about 500
to 700 lbs. per acre. Too much you
will say. l will ask you, can you ex-
pect a blind cow to eat sawdustN and
still give the same amount of milk.
No. Then you should not expect the
wheat plant to eat dirt and produce a
crop. AS you sow, so you can expect
to reap next year.

lens with the people of Northern Kent

Valuable Suggestions on Wheat Seed

]. H. Mendenhall, Instructor, Gives
Valuable Suggestions on Wheat Seed
This is the time of year when till
ers Of the soil are getting ready TO
plant wheat. The first thing to con-
slider is the blowing. Shall this be
done early or late. In Kent County
the practice seems to be that OF late
blowing after the corn has been taken
off. As the corn does not ripen until
the middle of September it is unwlse
to cut it too soon, therefore the plow-
ing cannot be done early. This can
be overcome il this case by waiting
until the last week. in October or the
first week in November or even later
to sow the wheat This will give a
two-fold advantage because it gives
the farmer time to thoroughly harrow
his ground and at the same time
largely if not entirely eliminate all
danger from the dreaded Hessian Fly.
1t is almost safe to say that wheat
should never be sown until after a
sharp frost.
Should the ground be plowed in
September it should be narrowed at
least once a week until November,
then thoroughly packed with a (roller
plank drag or cultipacker) before
drilling.
Seed selection: Did your seed yield
over 40 bushels to the acre this year?
If it did not, hesitate before planting
it again. Does it go on the market
as 1st, End or 3rd grade. There is
about 10c per bushel difference in the
price and this amounts to considerable
in 100 bushel lots. Does your wheat
or the wheat that you have bought fol
seed weigh 60 lbs. per bushel or over
if not, feed it to the chickens as even
2 lbs under weight at thrashing time
means 10 cents per bushel. Out OF
eight varieties tested accurately fol
weight by the Middletown Vocational
agricultural department only 2 varie-
ties were up to weight. These were
the Stoner varieties Ga bearded wheat)
These varieties not only held out iT
weight but gave a far greater yielC
than any of the others even in this
unfavorable season.
When you finally select a good seeC
have it famed or cleaned to get ou
all dirt, cookie and other impuritie
including small grains. If you dom
believe the shriveled grains are veal
plant six plump ones and the SAM
number of shriveled ones. These vii
show the difference at the very start
viii gladly take up the subject o
fertilizers with anyone who cares t

Bebe Daniels to be seen in "Ducks and
brakes" and Also Mary Miles Minter
The screen has a new comedienne in
the person of Bebe Daniels. This
handsome young woman has been
making rapid progress along the path
that leads to real artistic achievement,
and her performance of Teddy Simp-
son in "Ducks and brakes" is the best
bit of acting so far to her credit. The
story is mildly naughty in spots and
thoroughly amusing at all times. Only
a prude would take offense at any of
the situations, thanks to the clever
acting of the entire cast, of which
Bebe Daniels is the most skillful men,
ber. The demurely unconscious way
in which she skates over the small
stretches of thin ice in the story and
makes you believe that she is intent
only upon a little innocent excitement
is bright bit of color in a world
that too many narrow minded souls
are intent on painting a dour and de-
pressing drab.
Elmer Harris had in mind the spirit
of fun which pervades the ageraga
French farce when he wrote the story
His material is not startlingly new
but the well-bred air that is founC
throughout the entire picture compen
safes for this. "Ducks and brakes" i!
| just what it pretends to be, a farce
with dash of spice.

Clown" on Tuesday.

FLORENCE DIVERSION DAM
 COMPLETED BY JULY

Phoenix, April 27-CompIetion of the diversion dam above Florence by July 1 was the announcement made yesterday by w. S. Norviel; state wat CT Commissioner, who recently made an inspection of the plant with the government engineers engaged in it's construction.
 Relieving the diversion dam to the the opening wedge of the San Carlos project, MT. N5rvie1 looks upon it's completion as significant. He con- siders that when it is finished one unit of the big project will be an ac- complished fact.
 While 10000 acres are now under cultivation in Florence and the Casa Grande Valley it has been estimated that the dam will add to the acreage hy at least 10000 acres, said MT Norviel. The allotment to the white men has been 27,000 acres and 35,00G to the Indians, who are among the best farmers in the vicinity.
 The dam is concrete, of the Indian wire floating type, and replaces a rock and brush dam which was frequetly washed out by high water Iof the Gila. Immediately upon it's comple tion, the New canal extending to the Pima reservation will be reconstruc ted. Another project to be begun al once is the building Sof second dan at Sacaton of the same type. with 2 roadway on top. This dam will divert the waters of the Gila wholly to the Pima reservation.
