GLEAN WHEAT SEED REALLY NECESSARY *X^^ *3j»JapW*" ESPECIALLY HEALTHY BERRY $g FOR PLANTING IS BEING z©W&.#*^L URGED....... •55"*- .••44.- :-£a«3f* sj. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE ANXIOUS L...NEXT FOR LARGE YEAR.Ti CROP ^Millers all over the country, as well ai the Department of Agriculture of the United States, are using every effort to induce an especially large crop of wheat for the harvest of 1918. To this end they are urging the farmers of the nation to use unusual care in the selection of seed wheat for the planting of both the winter and spring varieties. Now that the threshing season is on the farmer should see that he provides himself with only the best that can be had for the next season's crop. .^ .v. Also True of Rye. Whatever the source of supply the farmer should secure only the best. What has been said of wheat seed is also true of rye of which it is hoped to see a larger crop than usual next year. A letter to the Review from the de partment says: a "farmer has seed from his own crop which is satisfactory so -far as variety and general condition are con cerned, 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. After it is ceaied, however, the seed should be treated in order that smut may be pre vented. Scab is less likely to be pre vented by seed treatment, but the use of the fanning mill will assist materially in improving the crop from grown seed known to have contained scabby kernels. Buy Seed Early 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. -_~... Consult Your Neighbor. In choosing varieties of wheat the farmer should be guided by the ex periences of his neighbors and the ad" vice 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 furnish com parative statistics on the yields and 1e havior of a number of varieties of the two cereals. "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 likely 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 lowes£. If the farmer delays, his neighbors may dispose of all their surplus grain and he may be forced to plant seed grown un der 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. Ko keeping America prosperous while r*C 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 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. ROY BERG OWNS A FREAK CALF ON OWATONNA FARM Roy L. Berg, who is in the serviie of the Farmers' Non-Partisan league, as organizer in the vicinity of Owatonna, owns a freak calf, which he recjntly purchased from a farmer near that place reee»tly. -It is a hairless calf. ,, The calf is seven weeks old, marked like a Holstein, but is devoid of hair. It resembles a pointer dog, except that it is hairless from muzzle to tail tip. Mr. Berg, who was home over Sunday, says he purchased the calf from Paul Ebeling, on whose farm it was born seven weeks ago. He says it is normal, except for the absence of hair. -.£'-.: 3 "oe Minneapolis Dollar-Hotel 200 MODERN ROOMS Located in Heart of Business District 3HUE2 S I N E A E $ 1 SUnOPUAN RATE FOR TWO PERSONS $t.SO ^j PRIVATE BATH AND TOILET EXTRA •""«.'

Aishton, chairman of the Cen tral department sub-committee of the Railroads1 War Board, and president of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway company, says a remarkable improve ment has been made in the freight car efficiency recently. In June, he says, railways having a mileage cf 125,000 miles, about half of the total mileage of the country, report that the average freight car of the country handled 22 per cent-more ton miles of freight thanin June, 1916. Mr. Aishton says: "The improvement is directly at tributable to the vigorous efforts the railways have been making to so increase the efficiency of all their facilities as to enable them jto handle all of the rapidly and greatly increasing traffic of the coun try. The arrangement of the railways to operate as a single system was made early in April. There are available statistics of freight car performance in April of railways having a total mileage of 228,000 miles, and they show an increase of ton miles handled per freight car over April, 1916, of 13 per cent. Statistics for May for railways having 173,000 miles of line show.an increase of 14 per cent in ton miles handled per freight car. ""The lines represented in the June re ports thus far available handled 12,539 ton miles per freight car in June, 1916, and 15,317 ton miles per freight car in June, 1917, an increase of 2,778 ton miles, or 22.2 per cent. As there are about 2,400,000 freight cars in service in the entire country, an increase of 22 per cent in their efficiency would be equivalent in its effect on the movement of traffic, to tie addition of 50,000 cars to the num ber in service. "The twenty-nine roads on whose reports these statistics are based suc ceeded in handling 26 per cent more traffic in June, 1917, than in June, 1916, with only 3 per cent more cars. The foregoing figures show that this result could not have been secured without both better loading of cars and better movement of them. Whatever credit the railways may deserve, we know that we could not have obtained these results without the active co-operation of the shippers in loading cars heavier and in loading and unloading them more promptly. We are going to continue to do our part, and we are sure the ship pers will continue to do their part to increase the efficiency of railway equip ment as a means, not only to helping America win the war, but also as a means winning it. DIRECTIONS FOR SILO FILLING TERSELY TOLD Is Hurry-up Job and Preparations Should Be Early. Silo filling is a hurry-up job in order to get all the growth possible and to avoid frost. Consequently, everything should be made ready for a continuous run when cutting starts. The cutter should be put in first class shape, special attention being given to the knives and knife heads. An extra set of knives should be on hand. The blower, fan and both knives should run at the rated speed. Poor joints and a ieaky blower mean more power and clogging. The cutter bar should be iit good con dition and the knives and bar properly adjusted to each other. If any extras are likely to be needed for the corn binder they should be on hand. Corn Should Be Dented Authorities agree that the nearer ripe the corn is, if it contains enough water to make good silage, the sweeter the silage will be and consequently the more palatable also the greater the amount jf* digestible nutrient it will contain. Roughly speaking, a majority of the ears should be dented. When large quantities are to be cut it is necessary to begin before the corn is at its best, otherwise the last cut will be too ripe. „._ ^Jiy-'Eength WcM"-§^0§^ Short-cut silage .means greater silo capacity, less air.space, and if the corn is a little dry, less likelihood of spoiling. Short cutting, also, means reduced ca pacity of the machine and more power. If the stalls are coarse and woody tl waste is greater iniong-cu't silage. In fine stalked corn that is very green there less difference between the long and shortcut.^,, .. V"- .** ^4^*y .,J/-r? Water, If Corn Is Dry %2& When corn is very dry from being overripe or frozen, it is often necessary to apply water to the silage in order to make it keep. Enough water should be applied to moisten thoroughly the whole mass. There is little danger of applying too much water... ..,„ Powtf' Nl&ed" $$& 4. 11 -J of war And for ou celebrated Anglo-Saxon tradition of free speech it is the memory of a myth^-Ybu can't even collect your thoughts without getting arrested for unlawful assemblage.

Colonel House explained all this to me one night, and told me I neeen't worry, because we have a man in the White House who hates war and hates militarism and the auto cratic rule that gees with it, and he will restore all the dear old institutions as soon as the war is over.

From this it will be seen that to cut 10 tons per hour 1-2 inch long and blow into a silo 30 feet high will require approximately a 15 or 20 horse power gas engine. If the same amount per hour is cut 1-4 of an inch long it will require considerably more power.
