Janiine, Dean of Agriculture, K. S. A. The average yield of winter wheat for the United States could easily be increased five bushels to the acre if farmers would give more attention to the preparation of the seed-bed, to the planting of good, wholesome seed of an adapted variety and the growing of wheat in a rotation with other crops. Altogether too much winter wheat is planted on ground shallow plowed, ground plowed a few days before planting and on ground continuously cropped to whea.

"-and pre pared and cropped in such a manner soon loses its ability to provide avail able food and water, the essentials in the production of large yields. Soil. Wheat adapts itself well to growim under a wide range of soil types, pro- I vi(linR soiI has depth and a reason- amcunt of fcrtiliiv and nrovirlinL' further the ground is prepared a suf- ficient length of time before planting. Climate and Geographical Limits. Wheat is grown in almost every state in the Union.

It thrives best and produces the best quality for bread making where the rainfail is between twenty and forty inches, where the suu shines a large proportion of the time the last three months of the growing period and where the nights are rea- sonably cool. Plow Early as Possible, Where wheat is grown continuously en the. same land the land should be plowed deep, six to ten weeks before planting time, and given sufficient cul- tivaticn between plowing and planting time to kill weeds and firm the soil. Where wheat is grown in a rotation with other crops in which the, soil is iven an occasional deep, 'thorough plowing, shallow plowing for wheat will usually give as large yields as deep plowing. Where it is necessary to plow just before planting three or four indies will be deop enough, oth- erwise the seed-bed will be loose and unsatisfactory.

Seed-Bed. This Is the most important step in rowing a larcre yield. Thp seml-heri should be firm and mellow at the time the seed is planted. Early, deep plowing with a reasonable amount of cultivation or late, shallow plowing would, be necessary to this end, pr when wheat is to follow corn, a firm, mellow seed-bed can be prepared by simply thoroughly disking the corn ground after the coin has been remov- ed, especially if the corn during its growth lias been given thorough till- age and kept free from weeds. Many farmers plant wheat after com.

This is a fair practice providing the corn can be gotten out of the way and the seed bed into shape for timely plant- Fertilizers and When to Apply. Tiie soil of a large portion of the wheat growing area does not require ici uuaing except indirectly as would he the case when wheat is grown in luidupu wun otner crops, especially legumes, and where light applications of barn yard manure an dstrawi are occasionally plowed under. In states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Kentucky, application of complete fer- tilizers is necessary unless this food or part of it can and is added through the plowing under of clover and the application of manure. Phosphorus is usually necessary even when manure. 6'" ana otnerwiso, is applied to wheat land.

Sour lands need lime. Rotation. ICacli particular wheat growing dis- may nave its own rotation. In Kansas wheat does splendidly when grown iu rotation with corn and oats, The, wheat is; followed by cowpeas trilled in on wheat stubble prepared with a disk-harrow. This gives four crops in three years, the cowpeas to he plowed, under for green manure.

Kind of Seed Plant. Only good, clean, well graded seed of an adapted variety of wheat should be planted. A farmer should grow his own seed or secure it from a re- liable farmer or seed Arm near by. nopie-grown seed is the best it it is, Pure. Farmers can keep their seed.

furo, if they will keep the ground ihev Plant to wheat clean, use a fanning ana go through the field from which seed is to be gotten before bar. vest and weed out any foreign va- rieties of wheat or rye, etc. Only a small area needs thus be gone over, start of ojean, pure seed can usually be obtained nearby state experiment station oaPWi tq various States.

The amount of seed to plant varies with the rainfall, character of the soil and the amount of fertility in the soil In eastern Kansas and Nebraska, Mis souri, lowai Ohio and other eastern and southern states, a bushel and one- nair or seed is probably about the right amount to plant, though it will vary from one bushel to one bushel and three-fourths.

West of eastern Kansas, and Nebraska one-half to one bushel of seed gives the 'best results according to soil, rainfall, etc. In the Dakotas and the nerthwest one Ibushel would probably be the best average quantity to plant tb the acre. Spring wheat is generally planted a little thicker than winter wheat, a3 it does not stool as heavily. Best Time for Seeding in Different States. The best time for seeding in differ-.

ent states will vary from year to year slightly according to weather condi tions. In the bard, winter wheat belt planting begins in Nebraska about Sentcml)'r 1st and. ends in Oklahoma 1 last week ln October.

The best Vlace to get seed is from one's own farm providing careful attention is Riven each year to the selection and fading. Wheat does not run out when grown continuously in the same Iqcalit)- as is sometimes supposed. A Single Variety, A single variety of wheat should be grown in every communitr. Every wheat growing community should be known as a producer of one kind of wheat, just a3 certain fruit growing districts are conspicuous because they have stuck to one variety and adver- tise'd it- If only one variety is grown in a community there will be less per of mixture. This especially im- Portant where a single threshing out- fit is used to thresh Hie farmers.

Treatment for Smut and Wheat Diseases. Where smut gives trouble mo thin? to do is to treat the seed with formal dehyde. Use one pound of foormalde- hyde to forty gallons of water. This quantity will treat approximately fifty 'uishels. Tho grain can be mixed with this solution either by spreading it on a l'Ioan floor, sprinkling and stirring and then spreading out to dry before Planting or by immersing tho seed for a few minutes in a tub or barrel of solution.

The smut germ of stink 8mut. the kind that gives the most trouble to wheat growers, adheres to outside of the wheat kernel only. Tnev are killed when immersed for a few minutes in a solution, of formalde- "yue ana water. Insect Enemies, ine two insect enemies that give most trouble to the wheat growers are Hessian fly and the chinch Du8' fall planting does more to eliminate the Hessian fly than any SP 'ho burping of all along the fence rows, in waste sloughs, passttires, in the fa" or 83 in the spring as the burning can be done, is the most ef- fec.tive way to eradicate the chinch bugs. The chinch bug lives over win- ter in bunch grass, pastures, rubbish and waste places.

How to Take Care off Crap After Harvesting. Farmers usually can afford to mar ket all the wheat they can sell and prepare for sale in July. 'The July market, especially early' ii --July, la usually very good compared''witft 'the market during pther months of the year' an(3 b' marketing direct from thresher the farmer will avoid loss turolgh shrinkage from loss off moist ure ami frm waste that Is bound to occur wlen Erain ts stored.

It la a certain indication of industry that the Santa Fe is doing business, and that Newton has a large part in the activities of the great railroad system. That smoke means that a lot of fine men and their families are obtaining a liv-lihood, and liberal pay from the com pany.

It means also that this money, very largely, is constantly being dis tributed among the business houses of the city, and by them paid out to the clerks, the delivery and transfer wagons, and is sustaining a portion of the public institution in taxes, Ideal conditions do not exist In the business world any more than in the social world. The smoke nuisance is a problem in every industrial city, but where is there a busy community that would be content to do without the smoke if it meant the' curtailment of the Industrial activities? Santa Fc officials assure the 'iians'a'n that every effort known to modern mechanical science is being employed right hero to minimize the smoke volume, and our experience leads to' an implicit faith in promises and statements from the Santa Fe in such matters. HUM DINGER SAYS. Perhaps you have noticed that when there is a good job to be filled it always goes to somebody who is a little bigger than the one lie has been holding. Perhaps the ladies are not wholly to blame.

Maybe some of the fault lies with the people who design and promulgate the proper things in fash- Ion. For instance a stocking manu facturer' illustrates an advertisement using arrow points to indicate the strong points of the hosiery. One ar row indicates "silk where they show."

Concealment of the truth doesn't help at' least, not more than fbr the time being.

Governor Hodges, in a'reeerit speechsaid Kansas was not materially damaged by the hot, dry Yesterday Senator Harry McMillan' wired the governor to call the" legislature in extra session to ap propriate a half million dollars for the "famine" sufferers.

The position tken by each of these officials is an extreme one. Kansas has suffered from the drought, far more than Governor' Hodges asserts, and far less than Senator McMillan implies. A great many small farmers will know financial hardships; but famine will not stalk In the land by any means.

A BIG ROW OVER "PAGAN TEMPLE" Eeligious Sect Divided In Strange Manner Into Factions Kliot, Aug. 11. This was the annual meeting and election of trustees of Green Acre a big colony here on the banks of the Pis- taqua, known throughout a large part of- the world as one of the unique religious organizations and exponents of "free thought." The result of the election is awaited with feverish in terest by the colonists and others in terested in the movement, anions. whom are many well known persons of Boston and New York. The election follows a spirited cam paign between two rival factions.

Arrayed on one side are the followers of the Oriental prophet, Abdul-Baha-Ab-bas, who are known as BahaisU. ln opposition are the original Green Ac- reites who became pilgrims to tho now famous ground to give expres sion to their ideals of universal broth erhood and free religious thought in its broadest aspect. Bahaists. want a "Pagan Temple" erected as their shrine. They have selected for the site of this edifice a beautiful pine grove where the Green Acreites for" years have held their outdoor meetings.

Ever since the visit of Abdul-Baha-Abbas la.si year, the Bahaists have been proselyting among the pilgrim of Green Acre. They have built up a rival organization, which is now stiong enough, they believe to con, summate their plans for control. They want the temple erected in time for the next visit of the great prophet Abdul Baha. The funds for the tern pie are available a legacy $12,000 left to the Green Acreites 1 Mrs. Helen Cole, of Xew York, and to be devoted to the upbuilding of the colony.

Its terms are broad enough to be applied by the trustees for the purpose of the erection of the temple, It is planned by the Bahaists to place busts of Mahomet, Confucius, Zoroas ter, Budda, Christ, Com to and others about its interior. Statements of these great teachers are to be inscrib- on the walls of the auditorium. In the. meantime, the aged founder of Green Acre, Miss Sarah J. Farmer, is unapprised of the facts of the internal struggle among (lie colonists.

She is a patient in a sanitarium at Portsmouth, while her affairs are being conducted by two guardians. Her intimate friends declare she would be greatly opposed to the Bahaists' ac tivities. The same persons express the belief that the Bahaists are tak ing advantage of Miss Farmer's ill ness to promote their campaign and acquire the trusteeship of Green Acre. Green -Acre has often been criticised ythe orthodox denominations for its toleration and the. liberal views held and expressed within its pre cmcts.

it has been the Mecca of tens of thousands who have come nere to enjoy the wide range of thought expressed at its open shrine in the famous pine grove. And In spite of the attacks of its critics the colony has grown and prospered. No wthe original colonists fear that the Bahaists gain control of the board of trustees at the present elec tion, all others not of this, faith will be excluded from Green Acre, and for this reason they have conducted an active antl-Bahaist campaign to keep Green Acre as it Is and haB been since waa fouuded.
