which can bo made on any farm, curves show favorable re
suits for England, and this may be
scribed partly to the arming of-mer-

tory of 1916-16 will be repeated, that
'the U-boats will be crippled unless
be prepared as long before sowng as or unt „ thg Central Power8 can flnd
possible in order to give the soil time L #w lnTen tl 0 ns which will make them

Started before winter. It the Hessian
fly was present last year, seeding
should be delayed until about the
time for the first frost. Extremely
late selling should be avoided as It
means low yields,
From tests conducted in different
sections ol the state, the following
varieties are recommend: Fulcaster,
Ga. Red, (also known as Blue Stem,
Purple Straw and Red May.)
Tho principles to bo followed In
the sowing of wheat may be summed
up as follows:
(1.) Plow early, give the soil time
to settle before sowing if possible.
(2.) Use a roller and harrow to
compact the late slowed land.
(8.) Where wheat la to follow a
cultivated crop that la removed from
the land, prepare the seed bed wltn
a disc harrow.
(4.) Make a good seed bed. The
Increase In yield will
trouble
(5.) Use a grain drill,
sound, plump, clean seed.
(6.) Use manure and fertilizers
Judiciously where needed.
(7.) Use formaldehyde to prevent
losses from smut.
Another reason for this favorable
esult, says the writer, le the fact that
•hen the U-boat war started In March
lermany sent out every U-boat she
culd muster, good, bad, and lndlffer-
ntr and the English defense, which
was ready, “reaped a harvest and
.rippled the dangerous enemy for tho
neulng months." Fallur# of the sub-
narlne war alBo Is attributed In part
o faulty consturctlon of the latest
Jerman U-boat.
