and because of the feeling that a half crop in 1920 will bring as much money

as a good crop in ordinary years. When asked if he knew of conditions. Omer Whelan staged that he had heard no one state that they Intended to plow up wheat. Doubtless some would plow it up and plant it in oats or sow clover, but that he had learned of no fanner who believed that the late sown wheat would prove a failure: He was hopeful for a fair crop in the main, - and assured v that prices would suit the farmer, regardless of the feeling of consumers who would be glad to Bee much lower prices for flour. John McClure, living couth of Richmond, sowed wheat on September 20. He cays the outlook isn'4 very promising, but regardless of how his wheat may turn out, he intends to harvest it, If worth while, or to let it mature and sow clover, to keep step in his rotation. Hugh Williams states that the farmers seem optimistic; that wheat will be a general failure, is not anticipated, and that It is really too early to tell what will happen to the crop. Alton Hale states that the acreage has been cut in his district, and that he himself alternated with rye this fall and planted' no wheat. His neighbor, Charles Rldenour, reduced his acreage 25 per cent last fall, sowing but 30 acres against 40 acres harvested last summer. April Will Tell Story. Late March or early April will be awaited with great expectancy, and it will take a few warm sunshiny days to develop growth and color before one can decide as to what kind of a crop may be anticipated. The fact seems to be this: Some farmers, owing to the high price- of wheat, increased their acreage last year regardless of rotation, the temptation being great. These have cut their acreages liberally. Many have as great an acreage this year as last year, some having even moro land in' wheat, because conditions suited them to put In a liberal acreage. Very few who planted "early feel assured of even a fair crop, while those who sowed late are hopeful of an average crop, at the worst, and of good prices for every bushel threshed next summer. The snow will prove of benefit, and a still heavier fall Is is hoped for. The weather to come is of first importance, and if the fly may later tackle and infest' fields now rich In promise, is a problem for which timo is the only solution.- It Is doubted if Wawne county has cut its wheat acre

(Copyright, 1919, by The Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.) CHRISTINE Christine, meaning Christian, comes from the Greek verb chrlo, meaning to touch or anoint. In early times it was tranlated to signify the Old Hebrew prophetic Messiah (the Anointed) and became the title tor the Savior, the very touchstone of faith. The firBt person known to have been baptised under the title Is St Christina, a Roman virgin of patrician birth, martyred in 295. Tradition declares that she was thrown Into Lake Bosena with a millstone around her neck but it floated to the surface supported by angels and she was finally shot to death with arrows. Naturally, she became a patroness of Bolsena and of the Venetian States, where Christina is a popular feminine name. - Her fame traveled through Greece and Hungary and was brought from the latter country to England and Scotland by the Atheling family in the person of Christina, Abbess of Romsey. The Scotch promptly abbreviated the name to Kirstln. Germany preserved the original Christina, but has several diminutives, among them Stlne and Tine. Through John Bunyan's Christiana as the feminine of the allegorical hero of "Pilgrim's Progress," this form became popular In England. Christine is Klrste or KIrstine thioughout Scandinavia. Chrissie, Xina, Christiana, and Christina are Enelish favorites.

France favors Christine only, and!

Italy' calls her Cristina, In Germany she is Christiane Kristel. Portugal has an odd form; Christinha. ' Christine's talisman Is Jewel is Jade, whose potency for good fortune and health seems limitless. It Is a sacred stone to the Chinese who believe that all good things come to her who wears it and evil can have no power over her. Given to a newly married couple, it is said to assure the birth of an heir within the year. Christine's lucky day is Monday and 6 is her lucky number.
