Soft Winter or Semi-Hard Are
Best Grades for State,
Says Cunning.

JEFFERSON CRY, Mo-. June l2-Ms.
souri farmers who change from the pro-
duciion Of ''semi-hard" or ''semi-sofi red
winter wheat will be disappointed with
their results, according TO W. NJ. Gun
ming of the State Marketing Bureau Of
the Missouri Board Of Agriculture.
This is soft winter wheat state y
The climate and the soil Of Missouri
are not well adapted generally TO the
growth of hard red winter wheat" The
yield is no better than tha, of soft red
winter wheat" the price no h CHER, il
as high, for Missouri grown "hard red
winter wheat" usually falls into the ''ha7d
yellow winter wheat grade, due TO the
large percentage of yellow berries"
The two classes are likely TO become
mixed at the country points, with the re-
sult that the wheat falls into the mixed
grade" with a much lower price than the
straight grades.
Again. marketing conditions in Mis-
souri, for hard red winter wheat" are
poor. Everything considered, Missouri
farmers should stick TO the old reliable
'semi-hard" or soft red winter wheat
for the securing of the best results, con-
sidering, with friendly ear to the expe-
riences of local farmers who grow wheat
successfully year by year. Experience is
proof. New fads in seed wheat should
not carry one away.

The American Optometric Association

a year, where subjects Of importance to

Association of its own, and many cities

which they may increase the value of

BOONE COUNTY CROPS GOOD
Clover Fields and Corn Have Fine
Start, J. E. Bridges Says.


"Crops look good in Boone County,
said ]. E. Bridges, head Of the Grain
Flour and Feed Co., at Fayette, in a
sketch of the crop conditions of Boone
County. There are the best clover fields
| have seen for years. Corn prospects
are a good average. Timothy hay has
many weeds in it. but should be good on
account of sufficient rain.
The wheat crop is 80 per cent of the
normal crop in Howard and Boone coun-
ties. Corn is about two weeks late but
good stand and in fine condition. The
oat prospects are poor. Pastures were
never better.
There are good prospects for fruit.
Berries are abundant. The potato crop
is good but in some places late.

(Continued from page one)

unusual strife and Of unusual industrial
depression. Our movement has been be-
set not only by the work of opponents
! who have been more active and more de-
termined than ever, but it has had to
contend with an industrial situation
which caused thousands Ct our members
to be idle during a great part Of the year.
1t is with no little satisfaction. in view
Of these circumstances, that We are able
to Icy before this convention a report Of
achievement, a report of solidarity, re-
port of constructive planning and re-
port that can only inadequately portray
the militant spirit with which our move
meni has come through the conflicts of
the year.
We realize fully that we shall be COM
PEELED during the coming year to face the
same forces that we have faced during
the past year, but we shall fight with
greater confidence because of the record
that has been made. 1t should be borne
in mind that our movement has had to
resist attacks not only from one side, but
from both sides-from the extreme reac.
ton and predatory powers on the one
hand and from the extreme revolutionary
and destructive forces on the other
hand.'
PROTEST TO CONGRESS
Denouncing the Supreme Court deci-
sion declaring the anti-child labor tax
invalid, the report continues:
We protest most emphaticaly against
such unjust and inhumane decisions. We
realize that our protest, in so far, as the
court is concerned, will fall on
deaf ears. However, we address our pro-
test to congress and urge that it immedi.
itely approve and endorse a constitutional
amendment to undo the harm the supreme
court has done to the youth of our land. |
We also urge that renewed energy b dis
played in the several states for the enact |
ment of effective child labor laws.
Attacking the alleged breaking of con-
racts by employers, the council declares:
We know Of no similar period Of time
N which there have been so many wan
on violations Of contracts on the part of
great organizations of employers. We
'ubmit that it is vital essential that
here be return of good faith in indus

which will resort the pledges Of men to

impossible to have faith in pledges given.

The wise hostess wishes to prevent
her young guests from pairing off and
remaining with their escorts the entire
evening. To change partners in a
novel and entertaining way in the
course Of the evening, have ready a
circle Of green cardboard divided into
as many sections as there are girls
present. Write girls name in each
division. Now cut out large red
pasteboard star, with white arrow
painted on one Of the points, and
fasten this star to the center of the
cardboard circle by means of large
pin. Each boy In turn comes up and
spins the star, and the maiden whose
name is Indicated when the white ar
row comes to rest is accorded him as
partner. OF course, If girls name
has already been chosen the boy must
spin again. This spinning star will
result In much mirth for the young
people.
