Conditions in Fall Do Not Mate

Damage to Grains in Severe Weather
Usually Grouped Under Four Heads:
Heaving, Smothering, Low Tenn
perature and Drought.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
While unfavOrable winter weather
occasionally damages fall-sown grains
to considerable extent, statistical
studies indicate that conditions during
the fall do not bear, in general, any
material relation to the yield of wheat
the following summer but that the
weather during the winter, spring, and
early summer months, especially from
March to June, has a much greater in
fiuence ON the final output. Conse-
quently, the weather bureau, United
States Department of Agriculture,
points out, wheat may be in poor con-
dition at the beginning of the winter,
and with favorable weather later the
improvement may be such as to pro-
duce satisfactory yields.
When the weather is favorable dur
ing the fall months, grains usually
establish a good root system and are
less liable to winter injury than when
fall weather is unfavorable. Winter
damage to grains is usually grouped
under four main heads: Heaving,
smothering, direct effect of low tenn
peratures and drought.
Heaving occurs usually on poorly

No Fairy Godmother Wand" for Harding

NTASHINGTON.- President Hard
ing believes there is mistaken
idea, more or less prevalent in the
United States, that the American gov
eminent can wave a wand at the ma
lions Of Europe to which they will re-
spOnd.
1t was made clear at the White
House the other day that the President
hopes this feeling will not grow strong
er, because the Washington govern
ment Is not going to wave any magic
wand at Europe in the present repara-
tons mess, and IS going to make no
proposals either to France or Germany
until proposals for assistance are
sought.
The administrations firm attitude
against intervening in Europe now ap-
peared to be making an impression in
the senate when the foreign relations
committee, after brief consideration of
reparatiOns data furnished by Secre-
tary Hughes, decided TO take no ac-
ton that might tend to compIicate the
delicate international situation.
Senator Borah (Rep., Idaho), how
ever, is planning to revive his proposal
for a world economic conference. An

ulating agriculture and facilitating
the distribution of agricultural
products. In period of about 10
months during 1918. 544 agents were
appointed. The conclusion of the war
so soon after the appointment of this
large additional force and the with
drawal of more than million dollars
of federal support, brought real
crisis in the development of the work.
A considerable loss of agents was COM
monty forecasted. Farmers rallied to
the support of the work, however, in
these new counties in mOst surpris-
Ing way. Agricultural colleges sacri-
feed some other lines of work in order
to retain contact with the county. In
stead of loss, there was an increase

war.
Work Should Go On.
About 80 per cent Of the agricultural
counties of the North and West are
now reached by resident agent, and
these counties contain II per cent of
the total number Of farms of the SO
states according to the 1920 census. 1t
would seem, therefore, says the writer
of this report, that, at least from the
standpoint Of the n-:mber of farms per
county, the average county without an
agent is relatively as important as
those with agents, and that the work
should go on to rapid completion, or at
least go forward at the rate main
tanned before the war. Commenting
further on the status of the county
agent, the report says:
"There is gradually developing in
some states a definite plan or agri-
cultural program of work looking to-
ward the future and having in mind a

character of the population, soil, labor

which breaks the roots or lifts the
plants from the soil and leaves the
roots exposed to the air.
SmOthering occurs when the ground
is covered with an ice sheet, as when
melting snow freezes. 1t is some
times caused by glaze covering the
plants. When snow protection is abb
sent, plants are sometimes killed by
the direct effect of cold on the tissues.
This kind Of injury usually increases
with the degree and duration of the
cold, but sudden freeze may do a
