seeding to harvest largely determines
wheat yields. This is true for wheat
grown under a system of crop and
fallow or continuous cropping. Of
course, the yearly yields are greater
on fallow than on continuous cropping
because of increased soil moisture re-
serves at seeding on the fallow plots.
The average monthly precipitation
for the months of the crop season at
each of the experiment stations is
listed in table 2.
1t was previously shown in table l
that the long-term average grain yields
were greatest at Moccasin and Hunt
ley. These stations, as compared to
Havre-aS shown in table 2-receive,
on the average, a somewhat higher
rainfall in April and May. Compared
to Moccasin and Huntley, rainfall at
the Havre station is especially low in
April Early rainfall has been i'm
pOrtant in other studies now under way.
Longtime Cropping Effects
Wheat yields for the first 10 years of
cropping were compared to wheat
yields from the last 10 years Differ
ences in seeding to harvest rainfall for
each 10-year interval was taken into
consideration Grain yields were not
included if there was excessive insect
or hail damage.
At Havre and Huntley instead of
yields decreasing with time, as might
be expected, they have actually in
creased. The upward yield trends &C.
CURED whether the wheat was grown
on fallow or wheat followed wheat.
AS previously pointed out, yearly yields
were greatest on fallow plots.
This trend of yields to increase with
years of cropping was especially true
at Havre On the alternate crop-fallow
plots at Havre in the cropping period
1917 to 1926, 612 inches of rain from
seeding to harvest produced about IA
bushels of grain. From 1888 to 1947,
around IS bushels could have been ex-
pected from the same amount of seed
ing-to-harveSt rainfall
At Huntley, early cropping data
t1913-1922) indicate that about a 16
bushel wheat crop was produced or
fallow by 61a inches of rain from seed
ing to harvest. Just above II bushels
would have resulted from the same
amount of seeding rainfall il
the period from 1887 to 1916.
The original fertility level of the soil
at Huntley and Havre does not appear
to have been seriously reduced durin,
the cropping years. However, CONNER
cial fertilizers might yet be profitable
under some dryland conditions. TIL
original fertility status might not hav
been ideal.
Further proof that wheat yields nav
not fallen off during the years come
from K W. Hill of the Canadian De
partment of Agriculture. Mr. Hill say:
''Canada's prairie provinces will pre-
duce wheat for some time to come, q
far as soil fertility is concerned
cropping practice which includes whes
and summer fallow should be prof
able for many more years in wester
Canada if soil erosion and weeds ca
be controlled, according to Mr.. Hill.
Improved varieties might possib
explain some of the tendency for {
increase in yields over the years

Holly Branches Are
4 Part OF Christmas

Holly branches are part of the
Christmas scene. Even before
there was a Christmas the anci-
ent Romans found that the shiny,
prickly green leaves and red
berries of the holly tree were
ideal as festive adornment for
the halls where they celebrated
their feasts of Saturnalia.
Holly came to be considered
sacred by many because its
beauty was greatest at a time
when most other trees were bar
rem. Evil spirits and witches hold
powerful sway in the legends
and folklore of all peoples and
they account for holly's present
position as a doorway decora-
ton. 1t was placed over entry
ways and windows in the belief
that its thorns would ward off
these unwanted visitors. Regard
less of legendary spirits, one
thing is sure, Christmas holly is
here to stay as an expression of
the friendliness, good will and
iov of the season.

Use 4 Little Care In
Shipping Holiday Gifts

You want your holiday pack
ages to reach their destinations
expeditiously and in good order.
You can help assure that by fol-
lowing some shipping hints sug-
gested by the Railway Express
Agency, out of its wealth of ex-
perience.
Use a sturdy fibreboard or
corrugated container large en-
ough to provide a Pinch clear
ance all around the gift package.
Old newspapers, torn vertically
into 2-inch strips, then fluffed
and crinkled, make the best Gus
hioning material. Stuff 2 inches
of this material all around the
gift-firmly, but not too tightly.
Close the cOntainer securely,
with tWine or tape or both.
Gummed tape is preferable for
shipments going by express, 1t
should be at least 2 inches in
width, and should not be soaked
but moistened. If twine is used,
be sure it is strong, loop it all
around the length and girth Of
the package twice to form a
double strand, then knot it
securely where the strands
meet.

-
And the saddest thing is that
such tragedies often occur
around the Christmas holiday
sometimes even around the
Christmas tree itself-at the hap
piest time of the year.
The reason the tree burns so
fiercely and so rapidly is because
it's filled with pitch and resin
among the most combustible
substances known.
What can you do about the
tree?
First of all, the National
Board of Fire Underwriters sug-
gests that you select small one.
There will be 30,000,000 on the
market. Some 100000 Christ
mas trees reach retail outlets in
New York State alone.
It's best to keep the tree out
doors until a few days before
setting it up. During that time
occasionally throw water over
it. This will keep it moist, fresh.
When you bring the tree inside,
cut the butt slantwise to open the
pores, then stand it in tub of
water. Be wary of chemicals or
other substances sold for fire
proofing" trees. In some cases
this process is ineffective.
In placing the tree, the Ma
tional Board advises that you
avoid "hot spots" such as those
near the fireplace, stove, tele.
vision set, radiator, or electric
bulbs.
Never, warns the National
Board, use untreated paper orna-
ments or untreated cotton bat
ting or gauze for decoration. Cot
ton and gauze can be made
flame-resistive by dipping in q
gallon of water mixed with nine
ounces of borax and four ounces
of boric acid.
Also, use only electric lights
never candles. Be sure, too, that
wires are in good condition ano
bear the UL tag denoting Under
| writer's Laboratories, Inc, which
shows they have been tested fol
safety. Prayed electric cords, the
National Board points out, are ;
fire hazard.
The switch for turning on the
tree lights should be PLACED
some distance from the tree

under the tree or run electric
trains around the base.
