In the opinion of most tractor owners in the winter wheat belt the preatest advantage in owning a tractor is that it enables them to do more work tn a given time. Saving horses in hot weather and increased yields are advantages mentioned by others. These facts were brought out In a study recently concluded by the United States Department of Agriculture. The department points out that such factors as these cannot be measured in dollars and cents, but must be considered In determining whether or not a tractor Is profitable on any farm. First ; cost, depreciation, and running expense are considered by some men the ( greatest disadvantages in the owtier-
| ship and use of a tractor. Used for Fall Plowing.
On farms in the winter wheat belt where tractors and horses are owned, ; the majority of men use their machines j for fall plowing, very little spring plowing being done, and for fitting j ground after plowing in preparation I for seeding. Tractors are used for slightly less than one-haif of the 1 drilling and a little more than one-half [ of the harvesting. Except for very light operations and running large grain separators, many farmers use their outfits for nil of their belt work. For cultivating, haying, stacking grain, drawing header wagons, hauling bundled grain to the thresher ami threshed , grain to the bln, and for harvesting ; row crops, horses are used almost ex- ! elusively. On the average the tractors ! do 40 per cent of all the drawbar | work on the farms where they are
j owned.,
Tractor owners In the winter wheat j belt say their machines have effected an average yearly reduction per farm in the total amount of hired and family labor for about one and one-half months. These same men are now keeping an average of eight head of work stock—one 'or each 42 crop acres—where they had 11 head before the tractors were purchased. Many farmers reported that the number of horses could he still further reduced. The annual cost of power on farms In the winter wheat belt where tractors are owned has been decreasing each year since the peak of 1920. Considered separately, however, the cost of keeping the horses was slightly higher in 1923 than it was In 1922 be- j 1 cause of increased feed costs, while

MILTON PARTY SERIOUSLY INJURED IN BAD WRECK
Two Methods Given for Killing Johnson Grass Johnson grass is best eradicated by
one of two methods. When there are comparatively few spots of Johnson grass on tiie farm, plow np these spots lu the fall or early spring, and grub -nit by hand all the root systems possible. For the first two seasons go over these spots every few days grubbing up nil roots whose location Is Indicated by plants. When the farm Is badly infested, fence the field hogtight, plow up In the fall and run hogs on the plowed ground during the winter, allowing them to work the ground for the roots. This method if practiced every few years, while It will not • entirely kill out Johnson grass, will | keep It down where it will do little i
Value of Soy Bean Straw Jsoy bean straw which Is left aft<r t!|e beans are threshed compares f«vhrably with timothy hay In’feeding vjilue. The loss, however, is greater ;!mn in the case of the timothy. Soy than straw contains about three times K much digestible protein as does oat sjraw. It Is not as rifb, though. In itirbohydrates, so the two feeds eoral«ire favorably In the amount of total digestible nutrients. When the two feeds are given, the horses seem to do letter on the soy bean straw.

Will you go to Goose’s and get me a house robe?” "Very well, dear,” he replied, and went on his way. Entering the store some time Inter, Mr, Snbbnb gave his order. “Here are some very pretty ones,” said the salesgirl. “What color do you prefer?" “Doesn’t make any difference!” was the answer. "Doesn’t make any difference!" echoed the girl. “But don’t you think your wife would like a certain color?" “No, It doesn’t, make any difference what color or size I get,” said Mr. Subbub, sadly. “I shall have to come back tomorrow and have It changed.” For Office Men "Sedentary work,” said the lecturer, "tends to lessen the endurance." "In other words," butted In the smart student, “the more one sits the less one ran stand.** hxnctly, retorted the lecturer, “and _ if one lies a great deal one’s standing is lost completely.”
CTpAILOUKD suits being in fashim, 1 likewise separate plaited skirts, means, reading between the lines, that the fancy blouse is down on the program as sharing the honors. This year interest centers in i he blouse of printed silk, in Its gayest, most attractive styling. When it comes to the blouse of gorgette print, conservatism Is cast to the winds. Just as colorful as cun be, is the edict or else startling black and white. Since considerable responsibility rests In the blouse, for true it is that It either makes or mars the costume, It Is well worth one’s while to make careful selection. A model, which Is 100 per cent nltraotive, Is illustrated herewith.** Scarlet printed on an ecru background, with Ince dyed a mellow tea tint, Is its color description. The manner in which the underarm portion forms a girdle brought to the front with long ties of__the material, Is most unusual. Very fine tucked net cruithlnes with real Irish crochet lace In the lingo rie bib and collar effect, also cuffs. Many front fastenings to tbe blouse are elaborated with plaited jabo s of lace. Another style point is the frill of plain white crepe do chine piped
"ith the gay silk of the blouse. Krequently the Idea Is carried out In euffi and collars to match the frill. As to the blouse of pure white crepe de chine, it is more apt than not to be finished with pipings of black aad frequently there Is n monogram trltr
done in black.
Insets of tucked hands are ured in most intriguing ways. Indeed, the blouse self-trimmed with tucks and plaits expresses the last word it the
season's modes.
Buttons are very important as e m<ide of introducing bright o.dor into the decorative scheme. For Instance, a white blouse piped wll i sports yellow bone buttons down ia tailored front, repeating th<;ui on the
pockets (ind cuffs.
