Excitement Tense As
King Tut's Mummy
Is To Be Revealed

LUXOR, Egypt, Feb. IL
An air Of tense excitement
hung over the Valley Of, the
Kings today, on the eve Of the
opening Of the thirty-century
old sarcophagus of Tut-Ankh-
Amen, who ruled in Egypt
many centuries before the COM
ing of Christ.
Two guards spent the night
beside the tomb to prevent
vandalism or any attempt by
outsiders to peek into the sar-
cophagus before the official
opening Tuesday.
The explorers expect to find
a series Of wooden mummy
cases when the lid Of the sar-
cophagus Is opened, covered
with inscriptions an dpaintings.
These will have to be lifted out
with the greatest care before
the mummy is revealed. It is
unlikely that the mummy itself
will be reached Tuesday.

That's the unqualified assertion of

Utmost financial condolences of
Americas greatest leaders of fl

What would you say Henry Ford

HammOnd's Salary.
1.-THE highest salary in the old
days was paid by the Guggenheim
interests to John Hays Hammond,
mining engineer. They paid him
$250,OOO a year, net. But that is
low compared to some salaries that
are being paid today-and the men
who get them are earning, them.
"Schwab, of Bethlehem Steel,
said during the close of the war
that on the previous year Eugene
Grace, who had a contract with
Bethlehem Steel on a production
basis, had made over $4,000, 900. It
was a poor year, said Schwab,
when Grace did not make more
than $1,000, 900. And men like that
are worth what they get. There
can be no limit to what their
brains are worth to the man who

popular belief among certain classes.
No, indeed, the day of the big bust

business and the other on his ticker
is gone. There was a time in
America-back in the days Of the
great individual entreprenurs, like
bet.you -a-million Gates-when the

These days are over. They were the

Sometimes, too, they lost. Big bus

today in the welfare Of their EN-

schemes of pensions, betterment of

II believe that within the next ter

for employees will be the rule, in

MORE WINTER WHEAT
Crop Gains in Popularity, But Will
Not SuppIant Spring Wheat
in Minnesota.

The growing of winter wheat and
rye in Minnesota will doubtless be
further stimulated by the heavy
crops Of these cereals secured this
year. Introduction Of the extra hardy
Minturki winter wheat by the Mime
sofa Experiment station has been a
large factor in the increased attention
given to winter wheat growing in re-
cent years.
Farm crops men at University Farm
agree that winter wheat in southern
Minnesota should not be seeded
later than September Is and prefer
ably the first week or ten days in
September If possible. In northern
localities it should be planted a week
or so earlier. One and one-haf
bushels of good clean seed should be
planted to the acre. Rye should be
sown at the rate of a bushel and a
peck or bushel and a half to the
acre.
Some Of the largest yields Of win.
ter wheat have been secured" says
w. L. Cavert Of the agricultural ex.
tension division of the university,
where the wheat has been seeded
on clean silage ground Immediately
after the removal of the corn bundles
without any soil preparation. The
advantage in this method Is that the
corn stubble catches the snow and

ity that where corn is cut and
shocked the winter wheat may be
seeded and drilled in Immediately be-
fore shocking the corn by throwing
the corn bundles over upon the seeded
ground after each round of the drill.
1t would probably cost less to carry
the corn bundles over a drill width
than to disk the ground in the
spring. Still another method is the
use Of one-horse drill between the
rows OF standing corn. The corn
must stand up we'll or this operation
may not be wholly successful"
Many winter wheat growers believe
that the crop has decided advantages
over spring wheat. Mr.. Cavert has
summarized some of these advantages
as follows: Acre against acre winter
wheat is usually worth more than
winter rye, spring wheat, oats or bar
ley; by planting it the spring seed.
ing load on the farm is lightened and
the harvest season heightened; be-
cause winter wheat natures early, II
is in less danger from rust and dry
weather than spring wheat; should II
winter-kill there is still time in the
spring to use the ground for corn or
other crops.
But with all these advantages,
farm crops men do not expect winter
wheat to displace spring wheat in
Minnesota agriculture. Certain diff
culties in preparing corn land for
winter wheat and in the alternating
Of crops place handicap on winter
growing. However, it seems likely
the crop will become more important
than spring wheat in certain southern
Minnesota counties.
