When Mrs. Writ married, 20 years
ago, there were many who thought it
too bad that your,g Charlie Writ, who
was just starting to farm, burdened
with a heavy debt, should marry a
city girl who knew nothing about the
farm. The first year most of her
efforts were failures. Since then,
however, she and her husband have
nearly paid off the mortgage, they
have remOdeled their home, improved
the farm, and reared family of four
children.
Mrs. Wirt's definition of home is
"a union of individuals sharing a
common life" and she believes that
the success of a home can be meas

homemaker is a success If she rears

CLEAN SEED INCREASES
YIELDS; LOWERS COST

Numerous reasons why farmers
should plant only clean seed will be
emphasized on the Minnesota Seed
Special demonstration train which
will visit 80 towns on the Omaha and
Northwestern railroads in southern
Minnesota during the last week of
February and early March. A. j.
Schwantes, agricultural engineer,
University Farm, st. Paul, who is
experimenting the arrangement of
an entire carload of exhibits built
around the slogan "Clean Seed Is a
Sign of Good Farming" says:
Larger yields of small grains are
obtained from weed free fields, since
weeds require space that might other
wise be occupied by grain plants, and
they rob the crop of its full share of
soil moisture and plant food.
Harvesting a weedy crop of wheat
or oats entails much more labor and
expenses than to harvest without
weeds. With the use of the combine,
the weed handicap becomes even
more noticeable, because weedy fields
require the use of windows while
straight combining usually is salts
factory in clean field.
"When you plant weed seeds, con-
slider that it will mean a loss at the
market. Many farmers are suffering
increasing penalties each year from
dockage and reduced yields. A single
wild oat plant many produce zoo
seeds, mustard plant many produce
10000 seeds, whereas the number of
kernels grown from a wheat seed

IN STOCK
TANK FOR TEN YEARS

Herbert Wilfahrt, farmer neal
New Ulm has about a dozen bull
heads in his stock tank which have
been there for at least ten years.
Due to the lack of sunlight, the tank
being covered except for the occas-
sional opening of lid, the fish have
practically not grown at all during
the decade, nor have they successfully
spawned.
Since they were placed in their pre-
sent quarters, some 10 years ago, the
''bullheads" have not been fed or car
ed for by anyone. There only sus-
tenance has been such particles OF
grain and grass, which were dropped
into the tank while the cattle were
drinking. Although the fish have not
grown perceptibly for the ten years,
they have at least managed to keep
alive.

Mr.. Schwantes points. out that it is
not difficult for the average grain
grower to clean his seed. Various
types of cleaning equipment are
available in such sizes and capacities
so that a machine may be- selected to
suit the volume of grain to be clean
ed on any farm. The cost of such
equipment is relatively small and the
time required is negligible since the
work may be done during the winter
when other work is not pressing.

SHORTAGE ME I
|. BY CHEVROLET

The extent to which the indus.
trial structure of America is kept
busy by the automobile, was
vividly illustrated following the
placing of an order incidental to
announcing CheVrolet's new 1891
models.
The order called for 17l,84e
feet Of material, or a ribbon Of
canvas 33 miles long and SO
inches wide, to be made UP into
banners for dealers showrooms
displays and for signs to be
used in sales meetings being held
throughout the country.
Less than 5000 yards Of the
material were available in De
troit. A search of wholesalers,
bleacherieS and mills in strate.
gic parts Of the country, revealed
a supply of white canvas on hand
still 90, 900 yards short.
To meet the demand within the
specified time, q mill in South
Carolina which had lain idle went
into production on 24-hour
schedule. Mills in other parts
Of the country were put to work
overtime. To produce the finish
ed banners and drops, two plants
manned with artists. sign paint
ers, carpenters and iaborers had
to work on three eight-houI
shifts a day.

the National Automobile Show in
Grand Central Palace. New York,
presents decidedly healthy out
look for the period, January 3 to
10. The Washington Auto Show
In the Auditorium January "a to
81, will be equally impressive.
The automobile shows this sea-
son have a greater bearing upon
national prosperity than in many
years past. The automobile in
dustry has wide ramifications,
drawing upon numerous others
for raw materials and certain
finished products. 1t does this
to a greater degree than the
average person realizes.
Employment for Many
For example, the industry gives
employment to one out of every
ten persons in gainful occupa-
tions, either directly, as in pro-
duction, selling, financing, SER
vicing and operating of automo-
bileS, or indirectly to persons pro-
ducing and selling materials used
in automobile manufacture or up
keep.
Being the largest consumer Of
steel, gasoline, rubber, plate glass.
nickel and lead, the extent Of ac-
tivity of the automobile industry
is of vital Importance to the pros
perity Of the producers supplying
the raw materials.
Every State in the Union con-
tributes some raw materials used
in motor car manufacture, and
SO States manufacture parts used
in the industry.
It's Importance in the matter
of employment may be realized
when it is considered that there
are $4,000 retail dealers and 1000
wholesalers.
$4,000 Shops and Stores
There are $4,000 storage
garages, 1O1 900 repair shops and
servicing stations, and upwards
of $4,000 retail supply stores.
Eliminating duplication there are
117,500 retail trade establish

lishments supplying parts, ac-

bileS
Eighty per cent Of all gasoline

J Regardless of depression talk,
the 1891 auto shows will prove a
great spur to the automobile and
accessory industry, just as they
always have In the past. The
fact that visitors see new, beauti-
full, improved models, become en-
thusiaStic over them, and "sell'
themselves on the new offerings
means a great deal to the indus
try generally. The man who or
ders a new car not only becomes
enthuSed himself over the utility
and beauty of his purchase, but
he becomes an inspiration to
others and acts as an incentive
to them to buy, which, OF
course, puts more money into
circulation.

The combination steel-and-hard-

New Spring Type
Exclusive patent sights just

comfort for the passengers.
The coils of these springs are
larger, with strips Of burlap rum
ming lengthwise to separate the

In the sedan, 80 coil springs
make the front seat unusually
resilient, and As coils are in the
rear seat, nine more than in the

placed q thick layer Of padding
unusually durable and soft.
The upholstery cloth is piped
with another layer Of padding,
and the seats are trimmed with

buttons ranged along the front
side of the cushion, a style OF
trim which adds much to the
tailored beauty OF. the interior.
Special Protection
For the greater protection OF

they must frequently present themselves
