FOR
WHEAT CROPS

as a protective measure.
A Protective Measure

as a protective measure.
A Protective Measure
Those farmers who have sustain
ed a loss on their wheat crop in
previous years have received their
insurance payments under this pro-
gram and have considered this pro-
lection well worth the small cost
of the premiums. The wheat crop
shall be regarded as substantially
totally destroyed if it has been so
severely damaged that farmers
generally in the area would not
care to harvest the crop or any por-
tion thereof. This form of insur-
ance, however, does not cover dam
age to quality, or loss in yield
caused by over-pasturage, over
planting, use of defective or un-
adapted seed, failure to properly
prepare the seed bed, or to proper
ly harvest the crop and save the
grain.
Information Available
Farmers desiring further infor-
nation regarding wheat crop insur-
ance are requested to contact Ern-
est S. Mattiford, member of the
county agricultural conservation
committee, who has charge of this
division of the farm program in
Kent county. Information on this
subject may be obtained also from
R. Harry Wilson or H. Clifford
Clark, other members of the COM
mittee, or from the Office of Coun-
ty Agent Russell E. Wilson. Any
losses in yields of wheat on those
farms which had insurance on the
1912 wheat crop should be reported
at once to the county office in order
that adjustment payments may be
approved to compensate the pro-
Queer for these yield losses after
an inspection has been made of the
damage to the crop.

Eating. Drinking

About 9 that night, we crawled
10 the mouth OF the river. We
found two big campfires blazing
directly at the entrance and we
could see enemy soldiers sitting
around. eating rice and apparently
drinking sake.
We crawled 10 within eight feet

only hope was 10 give the soldiers

Besides the dormitory scene,
therell be the mess hall, the

time. The participants are II
charming scholars from - coll
leges popular among Detroiters.
We've just heard murmuringS
about the plot, but gather that
these lively gals are dreaming
up a full evening Of laughs.
Seems like a mighty tasty way
to take your fashions.
WE WENT exploring the
other day = when a boule-
ward shoppe opened wide the
doors OF new address. tvs
blocks away from its original
establishment.
Done in gray and yellow, with
Just enough Sea-blue and GRIM
son to add zest, it's really a
charming and restful place TO
shop. The main floor houses the
jewelry, knick-knacks and some
apparel. while the mezZanine is
en- toto millinery.
NOT WILLING TO miss a
trick, we hoped the elevator.
Instead of going up in the usual
manner. we went down. And
there. one floor under, sits one
swank salon well provided with
fovcSeats and comfy chairs and
turquoise fitting rooms.
Worlds apart from bargain
Easements, this room will be the
scene of most shopping sprees.
In fact, twas there we found the
darling of draped dresse S

NO DOUBT. if you're on the
right fashion track. a basic black
dress will be your first buying
concern. Early in September,
it steps out with your fur scarf.
BY October. it's perfect under
your fall REFER. and so on, til
fur coat time is over.
Each and every fall dress,
that dares show its face in pub
lie. has some draping. Though
simple and snug. II is soft and
femme fatale. You'll enhance il
with big, chunky pearls. golc

pins of gold on silver. That!

You may have large. old

in profusion. or you may have
some particularly nice variety

Every piece or poppy root will

Discard the oldest. thickest
roots of old clurnps and replant
the younger. thinner ones. This
will rejuvenate the plants con-
siderably. II you do not make
