SPRING WHEAT RIPENING ON WAYNE FARM First for Many Years, Says Sanborn Yield Compares Favorably With Winter. By WILLIAM R. SANBORN The first Northern spring wheat to bo frown In Wayne county for thirty-odd years, we believe, is ripening on the Lewis Mattl farm, three miles

east of Richmond, and will be ready to cat inside of two weeks, most likely In the next ten days if the weather la hot. This six acre field lying between wo fields of winter wheat, now in shock, was sown late in March and gives excellent promise. The heads axe much longer than those of the shocked wheat in the adjoining field, though the third field of wheat on this farm will probably thresh out

heavier than the field of spring ivheat, for that field is more nearly of an average Quality as to production than the other winter wheat

field Just mentioned. The harvest on this farm will show three different averages of bushels per acre, in our Judgment, after an examination made this forenoon. We Judge that the fiprtng wheat was but thinly sown. Upon inquiry as to where the Beed for the spring-sown field had been obtained, wo learned that it was grown In Preble county, Just a few miles east of the Mattl farm, and that it came from the James V. King place. It arrears that Mr. King gave this variety . try-out some years ago and was so veil satisfied with the result that he as been putting in some spring "-heat acreage ever since. Although spring wheat matures relatively late in this section it is ready for harvest weeks ahead of the cutting in the Dakotas and in the Canadian provinces, where no winter rtieat Is grown. However, those wishing to harvest early will stick to winter wheat, to which this latitude is fcast adapted. As an experiment, howrer. this field of spring sown grain lias interest. The field, It may be noted. Is remarkably free from cocklefcurr, compared to most i the winter wheat fields. Will Have Thresher Ring. Lewis Mattl will do his own threshing this year with an entirely new International outfit, -bought from Ed fflarrls of Gettysburg, who is in charge ot the machinery department of a Richmond automobile concern. Harris says that Matti has organized quite a large threshing ring among farmers living along the New Paris pike and fthe National road in that vicinity. It rls expected that all the wheat in jPreble county will be cut between mow and next Monday, If the weather continues favorable, for the binders are busy from daylight until dark. The same is true in Wayne county, ot course, the present weak being tho Tery heart of the harvest season. If you toured the country in your car last Eunday, you probably observed many farmers took advantage of the Ideal day to cut wheat. Insect Damage Not Large. So far as our travels and investigations go, the damage to wheat from -Insect pests has been exaggerated, as 'Js usually the case. In spots the damage appears quite serious, or is so (expected to show in the threshing "But this is far from the rule, we believe. Samples of wheat on our tablo cs w write, and which were selected

.t random, do not show any damage, whatever, from insects, this wheat coming from both Wayne and Preble counties. This does not mean, however, that there is no damage from these pests. There is, of course, and there always has been in greater or lesser degree, on some farms. The mild weather and the wet spring gave the bugs and worms a flying start this year and more of them In some fields than in others. You can also find grasshoppers If you hunt for them, but no damage is reported from this regular summer visitor up to this date.

Famo Destroys

Dandruff Bacilli Science has perfected a wonderful preparation that stops Seborrhea (the medical term for dandruff) by killing the dandruff microbe. Its name is FAMO and it is a product of one of the famous pharmaceutical houses of Detroit. The ingredients have never been used on the scalp before but they are well known to physicians. As fast as nature grows new hair the Seborrhea germ kills it off. Unless you destroy the germ with FAMO, the new hair will grow weaker and weaker and baldness finally will result. FAMO destroys the dandruff bacilli and makes new, luxuriant hair grow. FAMO actually retards grayness. It contains no alcohol. It stops all itching of the scalp. FAMO should be used daily by every member of the family, even by those who have no dandruff. It keeps the hair healthy and beautiful and prevents seborrhea. FAMO is sold at all toilet goods counters, also applied at the better barber shops. It comes in two sizes a small size at 35 cents and an extra large bottle for $1. Seborrhea it the medical name far m morbidly increased flow from the sebaceous glands of the scalp. The seborrheas excretion forms in scales or flakes and is commonly known as dandruff. Mfg. by The Famo Co., Detroit. A. G. Luken & Co. and all leading druggists. Special Famo Agents.

EDISON gave his designers a hard task when be Instructed them to portray, in moderate priced phonograph cabinets, the exquisite art of the great furniture designers of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries. However, the fact that they were successful is attested by the unqualified endorsement given by Miss Elsie de Wolfe, America's foremost authority on Interior decoration. This is Miss de Wolfe's endorsement j The period cabinets which Mr. Bdlaon has adopted 9a him phonographs aim In pleasant contrast to the rather gtutesos cans which one so frequently sees.
