OF WHEAT f AVORED

EATON, Ohio, Oct. 27. An average acre Increase in the yield, or three bushels for Trumbull as compared with other varieties of wheat is reported by the 82 experimental growers who test

ed new wheat varieties this year. As a consequence, these farmers have increased their acreage of Trumbull by over three times, 47 sowing no other variety, and in addition 229 other farm,ers in the county will grow twice as much as the demonstrators, from whom they bought seed this fall. The Trumbull variety, which was selected by a committee of farmers who visited the experimental plots at Germantown last year, as being especially well adapted to Preble county conditions, was bought in a carload lot a year ago, 1,200 bushels of this and 300 of the Portage variety, being imported and erown on Dlots in every township.

The Trumbull made an average yield

this fall of 18 2-3 bushels per acre,

while other varieties grown by the

same farmers under the same condi tlons, made an average of 15 5-9 bush els.

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

THE FUTURE OF WHEAT - , Since colonial days America has exported its surplus of wheat in every year of its history, with the exception

of 1836, besides keeping pace with an ever-growing home demand. During the past twenty years, however, the

volume of our wheat exports has been decreasing, except under the artificial stimulous of the recent war period. As a matter of fact our wheat production has been increasing less rapidly than our population, and this tendency will probably continue until we reach the point where we shall consume practically all the wheat we produce. This is the essence of a letter just received from the office of the secretary of agriculture at Washington. Because of improvements in milling'processes which make bread more attractive, because of increasing prosperity, and because of the Increasing producand because of the increasing proportion of our population in cities, the per capita consumption of wheat has been slowly increasing for 80 years.

inat city dwellers eat more bread

per capita than those living in villages or on farms, is a certainty. And there

are several reasons for this. . . . the lack of gardens in the city, the comparative cheapness of bread and the fact,

that no home baking is required. The fact that the trend of population is toward the cities should have a bearing on the future per capita consump

tion of bread, as in the past. Th Greatest Bread Eaters. Prior to 1850 the per capita consumption of wheat in this country -was 3.S bushels. From 1875 to 1885 it was 4 9 bushels and from 1895 to 1914 it was 5.6 bushels. The upward trend was checked by the great war, but authorities now believe that this upward trend has been resumed. How much longer will this trend continue? When will the top be reached? Well, in France and Belgium the consumption of wheat is now eight bushels per year per person, which means that indi

vidual ramines of live persons con

sume 40 bushels of wheat per year in the various ways that flour is used.

If we are to increase our bread ra

tion to any great extent, we must grow

more wheat, says the department of agriculture. We did grow more during the war, but the increase was partly at the expense of well balanced rotations

and other principles of sound and con.

tinuously successful warming. Should

wheat prices advance we can. increase the use of fertilizer and the farming

of less productive land.1 Then, as production and consumption are more

nearly equalized, new sources of sup

ply must be found, in order to feed the

Increasing population. This increased

supply may be grown at home br irc

ported from Canada, the Argentines,

Russia, or other surplus countries

The U. 8. year book for 1921 shows that nearly one-third of the fanners in

this country raise wheat, also that in some areas more than 80 per cent of our farmers grow wheat as one of their principal crops. Only corn and hay exceed the wheat crop in acreage

occupied .and normally only these two

crops and cotton exceed wheat in value. In leading wheat areas, whatever affects yields, cost of production or the price, not only affects the welfare of all the farmers who grow the crop, but the whole community. Similarly the wheat crop as a whole has much to do with the prosperity of the nation,

because the grain enters into foreign trade to a greater extent than any

other crop except cotton. Our B ingest Business.

Alexander Legge, the head of the

Harvester company, said at Chicago on Tuesday: "Agriculture is the big

gest business in this country. It is

eight or 10 times larger than its near

est rival, yet some business men

look upon it as a natural resource. But

G. F. GUERIN STRATJGHN, Ind., Oct. 27. Funeral services for G. F. Guerin, a widely known resident of this place, will bo held here Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock at the First Christian church. Mr. Guerin was killed when a house which he was moving at Spiceland, slipped from its moorings and crushed him.

its management is fraught with all the complexities of other big business." Mr. Legge declared that the farmer was paying a big share of the wages going to organized labor. "Solution of

present conditions," he said, "is in organization and more orderly marketing."

In following Mr. Legge, President

J. R. Howard, of the American farm

bureau quoted some statistics showing that the farmers' individual profit in 1920 was only $186, out of which he

had to educate his children, pay doctor bills, buy clothes, pay for deterioration and upkeep of his machinery and

insurance.

"Thi is the third consecutive year that prices received have fallen below cost of production," President Howard declared. "If the farmers cannot more

than make the cost of production they

will go out of business."

But this is "gloom' 'enough for one day. So, after remarking that some

of these pessimists who are stirring

up our feelings, are speaking of the

"serfdom" awaiting fanners, as being

as bad as that in Russia, we shall dis

cuss more optimistic and cheerin

themes. Candidly, it is our opinion

that the American farmer will survive

the winter and be healthy enough and

ambitious enough to plant a crop again

next spring.

Alfalfa In Silage.

As a silage crop alfalfa is not alto

gether a success, and it is seldom ad

vlsable to use it. One reason why

corn is so popular for silage is that it

yields a large tonnage at one harvest

mg, and this cannot be said of alfalfa. Alfalfa is hard to handle with ordinary

silage machinery and it is hard to pack it properly in the silo. It often j becomes both slimy and moldy, as do various other legumes when packed into the silo.

Alfalfa and corn mixed make good

silage. The corn adds the sugar and starch necessary for the right fermen

tation. For the same reason the mix

ing of sorghums or small grains wita the alfalfa improves the cilage. The addition of crude molasses to alfalfa, also increases the chances of producing a good quality of silage. The United States Department of Agriculture

has made some preliminary experiments which indicate that good silage can be made by mixing straw of any of the small grains with alfalfa. If the mixing is done as the material passes through the cutter and water Is added to make it pack welL Potash to Last 400 Years In everyday practice most Missouri farmers give no attention to potash in considering their need for fertilizer. The Missouri experiment station concurs in this idea and W. A. Albrecht of , the soils department says: "As a rule Missouri soils do not need application of commercial potash."

Mr. Albrecht goes on to state that as an average of 30 soils in the state

there are about 29,000 pounds of pot

ash in the plow soil of each acre, and

this will fill the needs of 100-bushel

corn crops for more than 400 years

It is true, he says, that this supply is

lnsoluable, but it becomes available through the return of crop residues, use of manure, rotations, growth of degumes, and other good forming prac

tices that serve to make a good "live soiL That potash is not greatly need

ed In our soil Is shown by the poor

return from its application. On exper

iments over the state with corn and

wheat it lost money on one-third of the fields, for clover on half the fields, and for oats, cowpeas and soybeans it

gave a loss in two-thirds of the trials Pooled Wool Is Moving

While considerable pooled wool remains to be moved into trade channels throughout the country, the bulk of the last clip has already been marketed.

For example the North Dakota feder

ation of wool growers have now made a clean-up of the entire pool at prices which will net the consignor 35 cents per pound. President J. A. Power declares 'hat the growers are elated over this sale. A three-year agreement is now being'signed.

A large shipment of Minnesota wool

placed in the Wabasha County wool

pool lMt summer, when speculators were offering 23 to 26 cents, has beeu sold for 42 cents, according to F. L. French, secretary of the Minnesota farm bureau. This price was obtained on three-eighths blood. Considerable quarter blood has been sold for 33 cents. The 42-cent sale will net growers about 38 cents, after receiving, shipping and handling charges are deducted.

But it was striking that the talk of Roosevelt was not confined to the navy or the army or to government circles, but ran everywhere about the nation's capital. From lip to lip, little intimate human pictures of the man were sketched as men who knew him met in clubs, or on corners in the hurry of a busy day. A tale that
