Manila Hemp for japanese PAPER.

The demand for manila hemp in
Japan, especially for those grades
which are used in the manufacture
of paper. is increasing. In Japan II
is generally considered to be the
best material for the manufacture
Of paper, although at present less
than one-third of the mills In that
country are using II. A further ex-
pansion Of the manila hemp trade
with Japan is looked for as soon as
a use of hemp as paper material in
that country becomes more gener-

Bruce" she said with a rather strained
distinctness. ''It has been like being
born again. There aren't any words
to tell you what it has meant TO me.
And don't think l haven't seen the
change in you, tOO-the birth of new
strength that every day is greater,
higher-until it is-almost more than
can understand. The old smiles are
gone, but something else has taken
their place-something much more
dear to me-but what it is can hard
ly tell you. Maybe it's something that
the pines have"
But he hadn't wholly forgotten how
to smile. His face lighted as remem-
brance came to him. ''They are a diff
ferent kind of smiles-that's ALL" he
explained. perhaps there will be
many of them in the days to come.

clearly than did before. One Of the
things that matters is throwing ones

set out to dO-whether he fails or sue

The main thing, it appears to me, is
that he has tried. To stand strong
and kind of calm, and not be afraid

This was their new pact. To stand

never to yield as long as an ounce Of

Greater Since 1915.

Ottawa, Ont, October %
The average wheat yield per acre
for all Canada this year, accord
ing to the preliminary crop esti-
mate of the Dominion Bureau of
Statistics, is seventeen and one
quarter bushels. This'average is
higher than for any year since
the bumper crop of 1915 when it
was 26 bushels, the next highest
being in 1916 when it was 17.10
bushels, according to the bureau.
The maximum yield per acre
of all the grains is much higher
than these averages, the bureau
shows. Yields of go bushels of
wheat and 100 bushels of oats
have been reported from many
parts of the western provinces.
Eighty-two bushels of wheat to
the acre is the worlds record es-
tablished several years ago by
Senator Wheeler on his farm
near Rosthern in Saskatchewan.
'The total wheat yield is 20
per cent above that of 1921 and
is the highest on record with the
exception of 1915 when the total
was 393, 542, 600 bushels, accord

Todd Farmer ROtateS Crops b.
Good System.

ASAAhS bO1S N.Y. 4NON- G1SI'
D. N. Russell, a Todd county
farmer, living in the southern
part of the county, is using a
system of rotating crops on his
farm that could be used with
good results by many other lar.
mers of the state. according to
R. E. Stephenson, soils special
ist of the College of Agriculture,
who has just returned from
there. Chief among the good
points of Russell's rotation is the
fact that he has a legume, swee:
clover, growing on his land at
least half of the time. Almost
all the fertility from this clover
goes back to the land either in
the form Of manure produced by
the grazing animals or in the
form of the crop remains which
are plowed under. In addition,
Mr.. Russell's rotation provides
for some growing crop on the
land all the time, thus leaving
no bare fields to wash and leach.
The rotation includes corn or to-
bacco followed by wheat with
the sweet clover sown in the
wheat.
The.sweet clover is pastured
off to some extent but for the
most part is allowed to mature
seed. The matured seed crop is
plowed under for corn or tobac-
CO and another round of the ro-
tation started. After the first
seeding of sweet clover in this
rotation, no more seedlings are
necessary as seed crop is plow-
ed under once each, rotation.
Mr.. Russell this last summer
had one field of sweet clover
which had gone one round Of
the rotation. The clover haC
come back from the seed ploweG
under and made a dense stanC
in spite of the fact that it wa:
topped when the wheat was cut
and in addition had been grazeG
with cattle. Next year, this
clover should produce a large
amount of grazing judging from
the growth made during this
last summer. In addition,
enough seed should be maturec
to turn under.
The soil on which the rotation
is being used comes from the st,
Louis limestone formation and is
a rich type when cared for prop
erly. A light application Of
limestone and acid phosphate il
all that is needed to give le'

start. There are thousands of
acres of these limestone soils in
the state that can be kept in a
high state of fertility through
the use of a rotation such as Mr..
Russal's.

these noncommissioned officers

these men are badly needed for
duty with the "Citizen Army"
composed of the National Guard

War Department finds itself de-

Under the present rates of

that their pay would cover their
