MORE FARMERS TO SOW WHEAT

Promise of $2 a Bushel Will Serve to Increase Acreage. The call of the secretary of agriculture for increasing the wheat acreage of Indiana 25 per cent, means the sowing of 2.800,000 acres of| wheat this fall. Although this seems large at first thought, it is not large when we make a short analysis. There are in Indiana 215,800 farms. If the above wheat acreage .were equally dis-

age, farmers of the state are making more money on the wheat crop than, ever before. This is stimulating a great deal of interest and the guarantee of $2.00 „ per bushel which the government has placed on the crop to be seeded this fall is sufficient argument that the wheat is needed. Many farmers who have usually grown a large acreage of oats will this year sow considerable wheat. Many farmers in Benton. Newton, Jasper and counties have made this decision as is shown by the many inquiries about seed wheat that are daily coming to J. C. Beavers, of Purdue university, state leader of wheat campaign. In these sections sixty bushels of oats to the acre is considered a good yield. At present prices such a crop would be worth about $34.00 an acre. This same land will produce twenty and twenty-five bushels of wheat to the acre. At $2.00 per bushel wheat is much more profitable than oats and for this reason a greatly increased acreage of wheat will soon be sown this fall. By sowing some wheat instead of all oats, labor is better distributed at harvest time, as wheat is cut before oats. It is also easier to obtain a good stand of clover in wheat than in oats. These are points which thinking farmers are carefully considering and will add much impetus to the increased wheat production movement.

NOT THE OXLY ONE. There Are Other Rensselaer People Similarly Situated. Can there be any stronger proof offered than the evidence of Rensselaer residents? After you have read the following, Quietly answer the question. Landy McGee, fur dealer. Rensselaer. says: “I suffered from a lame back and such severe pains across my loins that I could hardly move. I couldn’t rest well and my kidneys were too active. I doctored and used several medicines but nothine seemed to relieve me until I got Doan’s Kidney “Pills at B. F. Fendig’s drug store. The backache and pains in my loins soon left and the kidnev secretions became natural.” (Statement given May 31, 1907.) On February 22, 1916- Mr. McGee said: “Doan’s Kidney Pills are still mv standby. I think they are fine and I am never without them in the house.’’ Price 60c, at all 'dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mr. McGee has twice publicly recommended. Foster-Milburn Co.. Props., Buffalo. N. Y. —Advt. Subscribe for The Democrat.

HEALTHY SEED IS ESSENTIAL

For the Increased Production Urged for Next Year. Washington, D. C., August 24. — Sound, clean, healthy seed is the first requisite for the largely increased wheat crop which the United States department of agriculture hopes to see harvested next year. Whatever the source of supply farmers will find it to their advantage, says the department, to see that only good seed is planted. W’hat has been said is equally true of seed for the rye crop which the department 'hopes to see much larger than usual next year. If a farmer hafi seed from his own crop which is satisfactory so far as variety and general condition are concerned, he should, lose no time in getting it into shape for storage until planting time. The fanning mill is the farmer’s best friend in this task. The farmer, by all means should have such a mill and if 'he has not and is unable to obtain one, should borrow or rent his neighbor’s mill, or several farmers can join in buying one. A fanning mill removes weed seeds, smut and shriveled grain and leaves only plump kernels, practically every one of which may be depended upon to produce a thrifty plant. After it is cleaned, however, the seed should be treated in order that the smut may be prevented. Scab is less likely to be prevented by seed treatment, but the use of the fanning mill will assist materially in improving the crop grown from seed known to have contained scabby kernels. If the farmer is dependent on outside sources for his seed he should buy from his neighbor if possible so that he may be more to get seed well adapted to his conditions. It is advisable to buy as soon after harvest as possible as at this time prices are likely to be lowest. If the farmer delays, his neighbors may dispose of all their surplus grain and he may be forced to plant seed grown under conditions radically different from his own. If the farmer .patronizes a seedsman he should insist on getting seed grown as near his section as possible. If seed is affected by diseases, careful inspection will usually disclose the fact. The presence of stinking smut in wheat is indicated by the odor and the presence of scab by the appearance of the kernels. Purchased seed Should, of course, be cleaned and treated for the destruction of the spores of ►

disease producing fungi, if the examination shows this to be necessary. In choosing varieties of wheat the farmer should be guided by the experiences of his neighbors and the advice of his state experiment station. This is true also of rye. but there are available fewer varieties of rye than of wheat. The stations can ifurnish comparative statistics -on the yields and behavior of a number of varieties of the two cereals. After the grain farmer has procured a supply of satisfactory seed he should store it carefully so that it will keep in good condition and will be safe from the depredations of rats, mice and insects. Bins which are supposedly rat-proof are available on practically all farms and it will pay farmers to see that they are kept in good condition to keep out the rodents.

Risk of Fighting Man Not as Great as Imagined. Washington, D. C., August 23. That the risk of the fighting man is not nearly so great as is popularly imagined is the belief of marine corps officials here who ha\ e compiled statistics covering the allied "losses in the war. A careful estimate shows that only one man in fifteen is killed, and one out of 500 loses a limb. Recent reports from French and British hospitals show that about 95 per cent recover from wounds, while about 90 per cent are able to return to the firing line. While the marine corps officials hold unbiased views in regard to the expected casualties among their own troops in France, it is pointed out that the “soldiers of the sea” recently engaged in warfare in (Haiti, suffered less than 1 per cent losses. These were sustained while covering a wide terrain, fighting from house to house, and capturipg and holding small redoubts, taken one by one from the enemy. This method of warfare is said to be rapidly superseding the trench system -.on the western front.
