The experimental stage of Repub-> lican Classified ads passed long, long ago. We placed the rate at about half the price charged in most cities of this size. This made it possible to advertise the little things that otherwise would have beeq wasted. The result has been tremendously satisfactory to our custofners and ourselves. We have established regular customers who have tried over and over again and who make a profit of many dollars by advertising the little things. We expect our classified column to continue to grow. It started with a quarter of a column and now it is almost two columns. Three classified advertisements have been telephoned to this office in the past half hour. We make a ticket against you if you telephone the ad and collect later. Our phone' number is 18. We like to have you call and hope to have you try advertising, believing you will become a regular customer. Call today.

HOW TO CURE WHEAT SICK SOILS

Prof. H. L. Bolley, Fargo, IJo. Dak., has recently issued bulletin No. 107 on the subject of wheat Professor Bolley is well known for his studies on the diseases of farm crops, and this bulletin is a good summing up of his investigations of the wheat crop. The following statinent, taken from the closing paragraph of the bulletin is significant: •

To th>old Wheat Ralaer: This bulletin contains many statements new to wheat raising. It should be a story of hope. Don’t worry about lost fertility . Save what you can. Most of you have not worn out the mineral fertility of your soil, permanently spoiled its texture, or filled it with toxins poisonous to wheat. You have only been working- in an unsanitary manner; and have, by rather constant culture to wheat and its allied plants, Introduced into-the soil and seed many wheat parasites. Look at the remedy.

Th® remedy summarized: One variety of pure bred seed well graded and properly treated; infected lands purified through >*iop rotation and til huge; purified farm manures applied to the proper crops.

PRAIRIE DOGS BIG EATERS.

Thirty-two adult prairie dogs eat as much as a sheep and 250 eat as much as a cow. This pest can best be eradicated by a community of effort

SAVE CORN FROM SMUT

Use of Formaldehyde Retards Smuff and Gives Plant a . Good Start Prof. L. R. Waldron of the NorthDakota experiment station suggests' the advisability of treating seed corn fcr smut This treatment would be with formaldehyde the same as for oats. He does not claim that the smut will be killed, but it will be ra> tarded, giving the corn seedling a chance to grow away from the mold before its germinating power has been so weakened that serious damage has been deme.

The damage done by smut and mould on seed corn can be lessened by the use of formaldehyde.

WHAT WOMEN WANT

Home Life In Rural Communities Must Be Improved. That the need of rural communities is not confined to. problems of marketing and production alone’ is amply shown from the following article from the Altoona Pennsylvania Times. In those counties which have been organized on the County Unit plan, the next step after securing a County Agent is certainly that of securing a woman home visitor. “In the effort at improving farm conditions, which the agricultural department is making in many ways, a new departure is chronicled. Heretofore, aside from the police work of pure food Inspection, agricultural quarantines and the like, the effort has been chiefly toward promoting the sclence of production, on the farm, and the promotion of knowledge of shipping and selling. So we are having consideration of better markets, betters shipping facilities, the extension of rural credits and so on. But now Secretary Houston calls attention to that long-talked-of subject the position of women on the farms. One sentence of his statement is this; On many farms where there is always money enough to buy the latest agricultural appliances there is seldom a surplus to provide the woman in her productive work with power machinery that will lighten her physical labor, mrunning water that will relieve her of the burden of carrying from the pump all water that is used in the household. The insanity of farmers wives from loneliness and hard work has been one phase of the crying need for better social conditions in the country. The department sent circulars to 55,000 farmers’ wives. The response was large and pathetic. The overwork df farm women and the fear of the effect of it on their children was the burden of many replies. Many asked the department to prove to the men that the women’s work is worth something in dollars and cents. Others said that their own lot is hopeless and asked only that better schools, cheaper books, more lectures, libraries and museums be provided for their children. More comfort, more conveniences, : more company are crying needs in the life of the farmers’ wives. Bathrooms are worth more than automobiles, running water more than some other things.

LOWER LIVING COST

Style Craze and European Tripe Adi to Cost of Living. Two causes contributing to the high cost of living are frequently overlooked. The first cause is th e tremendous waste caused by the rapid chang. lag of feminine fashions. The woman who wishes to be stylishly dressed Is obliged to spend large sums of money > on clothes she really does not need; and in her anxiety to outshine her neighbors she continually purchases new garments and throws away the old long before they are worn out. The second cause is the great amount 'of American money spent in Europe by American tourists and returning European emigrants. The other day ten trans-atlantic steamers left New York, each carrying more than a thousand passengers. As the average tourist spends SI,OOO or more in “seeing Europe,” this means that oyer $1,000,000 left America in a single, boat. At this rate, more than $3,650,000,000 of American money is spent yearly in Europe; and still we wander what is the matter with our flnances. There is only one. way In which this loss can be made up—that is from the soil; and the only method by which this can be brought about is by putting farming on a business basis,
