VALLEY COUNTY MAN
WORKS EXPERIMENT
Gives SThoroueh Test on the Raising
q Several Varieties
Of Wheat

c. H. Wilson, Valley county agent,
with headquarters at Glasgow, re-
ports on a wheat variety test conduct
ed by C. ]. Jackson In the Galpin
community this year. Four varieties
OF wheat were tried out under this
test and under, as nearly similar con-
ditions as possible, being seeded ap-
proximately at the same time and
either on oVerlaid breaking or sum-
mer fallow.
The four varieties Iesred by Mr.
Jackson we're Marquis, 10 B strain;
University, 222: Kitchener and Rem
frew. University 222 was seeded on
oEerlaid breaking and partly on sum-
mer fallow land. The results OF this
test this year were as follows:
Marquis. 26 bushels per acre;
weight per bushel. 81 pounds. Uni
versity 222, % bushels per acre;
weight per bushel. 56 pounds. Kitch-
ener, rs bushels per acre; weight per
bushel. Sc pounds Renfrew, is bush
els per acre; weight per bushei, SO
pounds.
In this test q close check was had
on the real productivity OF overlaid
breaking as compared to summer fal-
low in the field of Marquis, part OF
which was on overlaid breaking and
part on summer fallow. In this field
the portion that was ON the summer
fallow showed up a great deal better
than that on oVerlaid breaking. and
according to Mr.. Jackson, this is the
reason for the excellent yield made
by the Kitchener this year, it being
on the identical soil as that part OF
the Marquis which was on summer
iallow.

USE SKIM MILK
FOR DAIRY CALF


'Aiany farmers are not successful in
raising calves on skim milk" says r.
W. Clark IN Colorado Extension Bes-
letln No. 127. whole milk may pro-
duce the best calf. but not necessarily
the best COW. AS good an animal can
be produced on skim milk as can be
produced on whole milk. but greater
care and attention Is required In pro-
ducing the former.
'sThe calf should nurse its mother
for the first few days. after which it
should be removed and fed by hand
Whole milk, warm and fresh from the
mother. should be given for ten days
or two weeks at least. Ten 70 twelve
pounds per day in two or three feeds
should be given at first, and the length
OF time that 1t should be continued
depends upon the strength of the calf.
Ordinarily ten days to two weeks will
be required TO make the change from
whole milk to skim milk Gradually
substitute skim milk for whole milk,
the former until the whole
milk is entirely replaced. This may
be week or 1t may be month. Skim
milk should be warm and sweet when
fed, as cold sour skim milk is the
greatest cause Of scours. 1t may be
fed for six or seven months, depending
mainly upon the supply. It should be
given until FIVE months OF age at
least

Auto Batteries Are Not
Suited for Radio Tubes

Many people who use automobile
starting batteries Of the regular six.
volt type to light the tubes In their
radio sets notice that a charge does
not seem to last long. and that the
batteries are continually running
down. They are especially puzzled be
cause these batteries usually have a
rated capacity OF 100 ampere-hOurs.
which should bessnfficfeht TO insure at
least two weeks of service without
charging.
The trouble Is due to the fact that
automobile batteries are not designed
for radio use. They are constructed TO
supply heavy rush Of current for a
short time. just to turn the engine
over a few times before the magnetic.
starts 10 work. Radio sets. however.
require a small amount of current
over comparatively long period.
When an automobile battery Is en-
ployed for lighting the filaments Of
radio tubes the plates ara not sufii-
entity worked and the active chemical
materials Imbedded In the plates take
on a state Of stagnation. explains
Radio News The charge and dts
charge rate for an automobile battery
Is very high; decrease one or both and
battery suffers IN consequence.
The radio set owner Is advised to
purchase a storage battery having a
capacity OF @ or so ampere-hours.
these medium sizes being plenty big
enough for even the largest receivers.

Insulated Wires Prove
Best for the AeriaIs

Aerial wires may be either insulated
or not The only effect is upon the
durability OF the wires. and not upon
the reception. Bare copper wire. No.
IA. has been used extensively for
amateur nerials. This is perfectly
satisfactory when new. but as it soon
becomes corroded from exposure to
the weather, It Is uneconomlcal In the
long run. Phosphor bronze Is some
times used. but this has rather high
resistance. Many amateurs have been
recently installing aerials made OF the
regular weather proofed Insulated
wires used for iong-distance power
lines.

New York. Dec. ' Pl-The two largest retail cigar store chains in the world. the United Cigar stores and the Schulte Retail stores cor poration, are reported to have pooled their interests in new S250.- 900, 900 venture for the manufacture and distribution of tobacco products
 The New York Herald Tribune says the two firms have reached an agreement whereby each will main- tain it's identity but both companies will cooperate through the Union and United Tobacco corporation, a holding company organized eight months ago by persons associated with the United Cigar stores com pany.

The United Cigar store company operates 5000 retail stores in the United States. while the Schulte chain reaches almost 800.
 The agreement is said to allow for purchase of stock in the new company by stockholders of the United and Schulte company, The Union and United Tobacco company was chartere in Maryland with 2.5o0,o00 shares of no par stock The Herald Tribune says it's directorate interlocks with that of the United Cigar stores company.

The United Cigar stores company is reported to have done an sS5.000.000 business last year while the Schulte business was estimated at s35,o0O,ooo.
 The United Retail stores corpora ton was organized In 1919, and since that time has acquired the United Cigar Stores the United Re tail stores. inc, Fuerst and Graemer Co.,, inc. and the F. J. Reynolds Tobacco company.
