The Irish idea of freedom has not
been one in which the emerald isle is

formerly the property of the Russian
crown, has been leased by the Armen-

will be used in the operation of the
farm. The farm will support several
hundred head of cattle and 1000

used in Near East Relief orphanages.
The principal crop will be potatoes

are expected. According to New

leave the country under the present
Free-Trade Tariff Act.
The agitation Of so-called non-part-
isan Tariff organizations is backed by
Free-Trade interests. There is
nothing unusual about this. It has
always been so. All so-called non
partisan Tariff movements have al
ways been protected and carried on
by those who believe in Free Trade.
These alleged non-partisan Tariff or
CARNATIONS and individuals of organ
izations who are in favor of postpon-
ing the enactment of a Protective
Tariff at present, would be just as
ardently in favor of postponing its
enactment a year from now or two
years from now, or at any future
time. In brief, all such persons and
organizations are against Protective
Tariff at any time.
The American working man and
the American farmer in common with
the American manufacturer and the
American business man should face
the fact that a non-partisan Tariff is
an economic impossibiBity. They
should no longer deceive themselves
if they have been misled into such be-
lief.
The people of the United States
must decide which they wish-a
Tariff written for the purpose of pro-
tectipg American industries and
those who are employed in the indus
tries or whether they wish a Tariff
written for the purpose of inviting a
flood of foreign-made goods into this
country.-Dubuque (Iowa) Times

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO IRE
IAND2

Ireland has been struggling for in
dependence for four centuries. The
free state" proposed, in which it
shall still be subject to Great Britain,
clearly does not satisfy all the Irish,
for they are still fighting on. Whether
they shall at this time lose or win,
and though their methods are those
of the guerilla and therefore dread
full to contemplate, the struggle re-
mains one Of the marvels of history.
The spirit of the Irish, wherever
they are found, is indominable, tender
with sentiment even when those
actually engaged in the struggle are
guilty of what seem to be the most
fragrant crimes.
Anderson Green, writing for The
Kansan, expresses that spirit in most
beautiful lines, under the caption,
"on the Day When Old Ireland is
Free"
There's 1so a dear little isle lying over the sea-
And ITS legends OF old IN sweet stories are
While its visions and dream form a part
It's the island of beauty. the home of Gods
IT'S the pearl Of the mighty deep sea.
And song VIII arise to the blue, sun-kissed
On the day when old Ireland Is free
Where the broad shannon flows.
Where the dear shamrock grows.
In that wonderful isle Ger the sea
Oh, what Joy viii it bring
Yea, the angels viii sing,
On the day when old Ireland is free.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES

The HeSslan fly will be the big bug
of September. All volunteer wheat
should be destroyed. If the fly was
plentiful this summer, it will pay to
observe the fiy-free date.
10000
Disturbances to pullets, such as
moving them from place to place, re-
tards their growth and delays their
laying.
Calves may be fed good silage when
only few weeks old.
10000
Sudan grass cut when the first
heads are showing will yield the
greatest amount of forage of high
feeding value.
Great numbers of flies in the barn
reduce both the quantity and quality
of milk produced.
10000
Field bindweed has been the cause
of refusals of loans on several Kansas
farms lately, according to reports re-
ceived at the state county agent Of
fee. One investment company re-
ported turning down loans because of
heavy infestations of bindweed in
Dickinson, Marion and Rush counties.
Experiments at the agricultural
college show that clean cultivation, or
summer fallow, for one year, follow
ed by alfalfa or a heavy feeding sor-
ghum crop like cane, is the surest
method of eradicating the weed over
large areas. Covering the weeds with
straw is of little avail, as the weed
will quickly grow through several feet
Of it. Applications of salt, at the
rate of ten to fifteen tons per acre,
will destroy bindweed, but this
method is too expensive except for
small patches.
What produces low or high gluten
content in wheat?
This question is being asked by
many Kansas farmers this year. The
content is low, and this fact has cut
the price.
Millers and bakers are interested
in two things in wheat-high weight
per bushel and high quantity and
quality of gluten. The former means
high yield of flour per bushel of
wheat. The latter means a large
quantity Of bread per barrel of flour.
When most of the wheat is rich in
gluten, the weight per bushel deter
mines the price. When the gluten
content is low, that is also an import
ant factor, as in the present year.
l.. E. Call and P. L. Mann of the
agricultural college, authorities re-
spectively in the growing and the
milling of wheat, have worked out
the factors that effect gluten content.
Here they are:
1. Weather conditions, compris-
ing comparatively light rainfall dur
ing the growing season, fairly warm
weather during the months of spring
growth, and dry, hot weather toward
the end of the ripening period.
2. Soils rich in nitrogen and
heavy in texture. New prairie soils
and soils that have been in alfalfa for
a number of years usually produce
wheat high in gluten. Clay and silt
loans have the right texture for this
purpose.
8. The kind of wheat planted
less important factor than weather
or soil. Any pure seed of Turkey
type, such as Kanred, Turkey Red or
Kharkof, is all right. Soft varieties
of wheat, developed in humid regions,
are not desirable for regions where
hard wheat can be grown.
