METHODS OF WHEAT
CULTURE IN KANSAS
Surprising Success in Sowinq in
the StubbIe.
Plan Has Averaged Higher Yields
Than Flowing and Nearly as
Much az the Early
Flowing.

Prspared by tho United States Department
OF AEriculture.)
In western Kansas where a large
part of the cultivated area is sown to
wheat year after year. the greatest
cultural problem in terms of acres
involved is how to prepare wheat
stuDDle for wheat. For the past IA
years this problem has been studied
ut the Fort Hays branch station. and
the results have just been published
by the United States Department of
Agriculture in Department Bulletin
1904, Methods of Winter-Wheat Pro-
duction at the Fort Hays Branch Sta
ton, by John S. Cole and A. l.. Hall
sted.
This experiment station is in Ellis
county, Kansas, which is in the west
ern tier of the solid block of mil
lion-bushel" wheat counties in that
state. Statistics of the Kansas state
board of agriculture show that farm
Ing in this section has been stabilized
for 30 years by devoting nearly three
fourths Of the cultivated acreage to
winter wheat. During this period
there has been no change in yields,
the average for the county from 1891
to 1920. inclusive, being only 9.6
bushels to the acre.
All this time wheat has been grown
continuously after wheat by several
methods. In this region there are 90
days between harvest and seeding.
BY plowing 70 days after harvest and
II days before seeding an average of
10.5 bushels per acre has been pro-
duced, the lowest yielding method
tried, but practically the same as the
average for the county. Early plow-
ing, 80 days after harvest and 5S
days before seeding, has averaged
14.6 bushels per acre. Early plowing
subsoiled has averaged IT bushels,
and land listed instead of early plowed
has averaged 17.3 bushels. Land al
ternately fallowed and cropped to
wheat has averaged 2O.3 bushels.
From 1914 to 1920. inclusive, sur
prising success has resulted from
sowing wheat in the stubble either
disked or uncultivated. This method
has averaged higher yields than late
plowing and nearly as much as early
plowing.
Various other important experiment.
al results are recorded in the bulletin,
but the most important announce
ment is that the 9O-day period be-
tween harvest and seeding offers the
most fertile field for the control of
yields. The more completely this is
made cultivation period the higher
will yjelds rise above the minimum
at which they now rest. An increase
of so per cent is not impossible, and
some part of it, say the Investigators,
should be realized through greater
timeliness and efficiency of operations.

ture for work stock, dairy cows and
other farm animals has been an i'm
portant factor during the last year in
stimulating a more than usual interest
in the crop. 1t has also been found
that when reasonable care is used
there is very little danger of prussic
acid poisoning; in fact, when the pas
ture is properly handled there is no
danger in the region east Of the 9Sth
meridian. West of that line the dam
ger is practically negligible unless the
grass Is injured by drought.
New evidence regarding Sudan grass
pasture is being provided each year
by farmers and experiment stations.
In New Mexico. irrigated Sudan pas
ture carried two head of milk cows
to the acre, and enough butterfat was
produced to give return of SIS an
acre after the cost of the grain feed
had been deducted. A prominent
farmer in central Kansas has Sudan
grass pasture every year for his dairy
herd and claims that the butter churns

$50 club members now enrolled in
work with gardens, pigs, poultry,
calves, and bees, under the leader
ship of the London Daily Mail This
work was begun two years ago as
result of observations made by Lord
Northcliffe during a visit to the United
States in 1919. The English enroll
ment is Insignificant when compared
in this country, but it promises to be
the beginning of popular educational
movement in England
Before attending the Royal Agricul-
tural Society show, where they COM
peted for the gold cup, the American
boys visited Edinburgh, parts of Scot
land famous for Shorthorn cattle and
Clydesdale horses, a number of Eng
lish stock farms, and u typical coun-
ty fair at DOncaster. AT the royal
show they attended one of the an
nual auction sales that drew buyers
from Denmark, France, Spain, and
even from the Far East. Following
the show the party took flying trip
to the French battlefields. reaching
Paris in time to witness the celebra-
ton of Bastile Day, the French
Fourth of July" The boys were ac-
companied by h. G. jenkins, state
boys club agent of the Maryland ex-
tension service, and c. l.. Chambers
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture.
"Our boys impressed the English
breeders with their thorough knowl-
edge and ready appraisement of the
animals shown them" said Mr. Cham
bers. "They were keenly alert to
the opportunities that came to them
to study the results of generations of
painstaking work by English live
stock breeders. The contest gave them
an opportunity to demonstrate to old
England the benefits resulting from
the inspiration and training that
half million American farm boys and
girls receive every year under the
guidance of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and the state
agricultural colleges"

Why the Umbrellas2

A rather amusing sight was that at
York beach one rainy day recently,
when party of bathers all ready for
the morning dip came from their cot
tages on their way to the beach all
carrying open umbrellas. Vacationists,
witnessing the procession of bathers
approaching the water all set for the
plunge. wondered at the theory Of car
rying "bumbleshoots' to protect them
selves from the rain when they would
shortly be drenched while taking their

National park.
A queer sort Of place for the United
States marines-out on the open range
a thousand miles from salt water /!
Don't get astonished. The marines
weren't. They've been most every
where else, and done most everything
else. 1t was all In the days work.
Doubtless Capt. Shuler reported to
Washington as usual. just as the ma
rines have been doing since 1773:
1.-THE marines have landed and have
the situation well In hand"
Possibly the most Interesting thing
about the Teapot Dome expedition Is
the fact that the notice to quit was
served on the Mutual OIL company, al
legged squatter, June 13 of this year.
Why? Because one of the many unus-
ual things about the unusual marines
is the unusual fact that June has been
the usual month with the marines for
doing things, from their establishment
by the Continental congress June s.
1875, to their stopping the Germans on
the march to Paris June 2, 1918, at
Chateau-Thierry.
And who's their commandant? Maj.
Gen. ]. A. LeJeune. Can you beat 1t
Yes; the marines have been almost
everywhere and have done almost ev-
erything. One reason for this, of
course, is that they can do almost
anything. So Uncle Sam sends 'em
along when he needs little bunch of
efficiency And as for rifle shooting
why, 93 per cent of the marines wear
the medals Of marksmen, sharpshoot-
ers or expert riflemen! Now, marks
man is a rifleman who can hit almost
any kind of a mark. A sharpshooter
is rifieman who can hit what the
marksman misses. And an expert rifle
man is-well, he's simply battle, muir
der and sudden DEATH"
The United States marine corps is
an independent branch of the military
service under major general COM
mandant. In general, the corps is sub
ject to the orders of the secretary of
the navy, but 1t may be detached for
service with the army by the Presi-
dent. On shipboard the marines are

June 2, 1918, the Fifth and Sixth
regiments of marines stopped the
march of the Germans on Paris at
Chateau-Thierry.
When the marines that June day at
Chateau-Thierry met the advancing
shock troops they calmly set their
sights, adjusted their range, picked
their men and set to work as method
ically as if on the rifle range at Paris
island, U. S. A. Thereupon 1t was all
off with the Germans. They stopped.
And what's more, those that were left
Of those crack shock troops broke and
ran for cover.
All Europe gasped. Paris was
saved. 1t was the turning point Of
the World war.
June 6, In Belleau woodrow Off
cially renamed "Bois de la Brigade de-
Marine"-the marines gave the crack
Prussian Guards the first sample OF
their style of offensive work and Il
taste of still deadlier thing-the
American bayonet. This time the ma
rines, stripped to their undershirts.
threw away everything not useful in
killing, broke into their battle-cry
"E-e-e-e-e y-a-a-h-h-h yip" and charged
into the jungle of woods and machine
gun nests in American style-a rush,
n halt, n rush again, rear waves pass
ing over the dead, behind these waves
more waves
Oh, what's the use! No one will
ever be able to do Justice to the month
and more that 1t took the marines to
clean Belleau wood ut the point of the
bayonet. 1t was without doubt the
most desperate fighting of the whole
World war-Verdun not excepted.
And later there were Soissons, st.
NIihiel, Blanc Mont Ridge and the
Champagne!
OF course, the marines were killed
off in large numbers. But that's all in
the days work with them. I'VE kill
or we get killed" is one of their pri-
vate notices.
General Harbord, in thanking the
Second division in General Order No.
40. casually remarked 1.-THE Seconds
division has sustained the best tradi-'
tions of the regular army and the ma
rine corps"
General Harbord did manage to add
that the story of their achievements
would be told in millions of homes in
all the allied nations.
And that is no lie. 1t will be long
time before allied Europe forgets the
United States marines-and still
longer time before the Germans quit
talking about the Devil Dogs"-as
they named them in rage and fear and
admiration.
Say" said a doughboy husky in
Paris-and the American infantryman
thinks he's some fighter himself-"I
don't blame the Froggies for wantin'
to kiss every marine they see. Do you
know what seen them double cruel
fed rippety blankety d-n marines do
with m, own eyes? They had taken
