How a Telephone Company Obtains Money for Extensions Do you know how a telephone company obtains money for extending its plant when new subscribers are added? A private business is usually extended out of profits. Gener ally when a farmer buys another eighty acres of land he does so out of profits; when a merchant builds an addition to his stored he usually does so out of his profits. But when we extend our telephone plant, whether to install a telephone or string a wire down the highway, it means an additional investment of new money in the business. Beyond a reasonable surplus for protection against emergen cies, which has been invested back into our property but on which no dividends are paid, we have never extended our plant out of the money we get from the public for service sold. We have never attempted to earn a larger return on the money invested, than was necessary so we could obtain new money for needed extensions. - Our growth has been phenomenal the last few years, and it has required a great deal of new money from investors. It is necessary to earn a fair rate of return on their investment for our present stockholders before we can obtain additional money. The public's welfare is best served by our paying fair divi dends to the men and women who have their savings invested in our property. If we did not do this the service would suffer from lack of new money for proper improvements and exten sions.

Seidell, County. Agricul tural Agent) , There has been the opportunity to observe or learn two lessons from the growers of spring and winter wheat during the past two crop sea sons. The first is that winter wheat was not effected with the black rust. Then winter wheat was not bothered by the dry weather of this season. Even with the unfavorable 1914 sea son for the seedlnf of winter wheat the crop on (the favorable crop sea son of 1915 made an average yield higher than the spring wheat. While the yield of spring wheat under 1915 conditions was slightly less, the , quality was much inferior. This . was because of the shrivelled berries as result of Black Rust. Though planted In many cases late in the fall of 1915 with sufficient moisture, a good stand of winter wheat was; secured. Some that was planted too shallow froze out In spots last win ter. This wheat was far enough ad vanced so It was not effected by the dry weather of this summer. The yield this year Is from ninety to one hundred per cent of what it was last year. In the meantime the spring wheat was reeded growing well until the dry weather or the Black Rust af fected it. The rains being In spots throughout the county and the large amount of the disease (black rust) carried over from last year accounts for dry weather damage In some places and rust other places. With these conditions we find the-spring wheat not averaging more than one half as much marketable wheat 4er acre an the winter. As this article I a, written we find our predominat ing Bpring wheat ten cents below the price of the same grade of winter wheat on the Omaha market. So long as the two wheats are grown we can expect more or less damage from rust. This has been the experience of the present winter wheat areas of Nebraska and Iowa. The following men have been growing winter wheat for some time in this section and have been well pleased with the results: A. S. Eu yeart, W. W. Thompson, A. 11. Ba con, J; P. ChrlBtensen. Chris Han sen, John Jelinek, all of Hemingford, and C. L. Powell, William Rust, F. M. Russell, J. T. Nabb, and J. A. Keegan, of Alliance. From the experience with winter wheat in this section it is recom mended to sow with a drill, drilling two and one-half to three inches deep, one bushel per acre and prefer ably in corn stalks or summer fal lowed ground. Any time after Aug ust 15th to September -15th is most preferable. Early seeding gives best results. Early frosts usually hold back the winter wheat so that the damage of Jointing is eliminated. Early deep seeding allows the plant to root down and become of sufficient size that it will not winter kill. Care should be exercised in treating to prevent smut, and selecting seed free from other grains. It must be remembered It has been encouraging to the wheat grow ers during the past two years be cause of generally good yields and especially good prices. This article does not Infer that everyone snouia grow more wheat or that all should grow winter wheat. It only is in tended to show some comparisons between winter wheat and spring wheat during the range of weather conditions of. the past two years. However some advantages have been shown by winter wheat that certain ly makes It worthy of more consid eration In this county. Then again, when we find from authentic reports that the winter wheat crop of the U. S. i short because of damage from Heslon fly. and winter killing, low acreage or poor stand, it may, well Justify the sowing of our spring wheat.

There the "family site" var ies from 200 to 250 acres. The greatest profit was found on farms employing two men thruout tho year. This does not imply that each farm kept a hired man, but that part of the work was done by boys.

The kind that you can really recognize as "DIFFERENT." Alfalfa and Sorghum Silage Indications are that excellent sil age can be made with mixtures of al falfa and sweet sorghum, according to silage investigations in progress at the agricultural Experiment Station of Nebraska. Such mixtures con taining one-half alfalfa and one-half xorghum cane, put up on a small scale, give perfect silage three months after siloing. The acidity Is somewhat lower than normal silage but this does not seem to impair the keeping qualities. Further investi gations of this subject are In prog ress, but the present results would indicate that a farmer might safely put equal parts of alfalfa and well matured sorghum cane in his silo with expectation of securing a good quality of silage.
