You can get it quicklj a by placing yenr ad in the JonrnaL Combines to Do the Work of Harvest ing and Elimination of Smut Aid the Big Crop. "We do not hear much about the farm problem through the Middle West, where golden wheat fields are 1 yielding unprecedented returns, states P. L. Havlor of Denver, Agri- i cultural agent for the Burlington and Colorado & Southern Railways, wno has just returned from a tour of the wheat erowine sections In Nebras ka. Colorado and Kansas, "We hear nothing at all about rad ical legislation for farm relief thru Nebraska where farmers are harvest ing one of the biggest crops the state has ever known. Reports indicate thaC over 75 million bushels of wheat will be harvested in Nebraska this year in comparison to 50 million in 192G. Colorado's wheat crop is es timated at over 24 million bushels compared to IS million last year, While it has not been expected that Kansas would exceed the high peak of la?t vear's vield of 150 million bushels. !t is reported that 111 mil lion bushel'? will be harvested from Kansas wheat fields this year. "It is of particular interest," adds Mr. Taylor, "that this year, even in the districts where we have had the b.iviest harvest, there has been no talk of labor shortage as in previous years when the cry came for help at the busy season and cities were scoured to secure even untrained har vest help at the phrdlutaoi hrd; vest hands. Many new combines are doing the work this vear and doing it cheap er. To harvest the old way cost the farmer three times as much as to har vest with the combine. Besides this saving cf labor cost in the fields, the coming of the combine makes an im- n.easuvnble difference to the farm rr's wife. For harvest hands have always been the biggest bugbear in farm woman's calendar. Coming in great numbers during the most tor rid days of summer, they cause many extra meals to be cooked over hot farm-kitchen ranges. The new re gime of the combine brings relief to the farm woman on one of her great est problems. And in solving the farmer's labor difficulties, it also en ables him to secure a greater profit from his crop. "Another step toward solution of the wheat farmer's problems is the growing knowledge of successful mean-? to combat the heavy losses sus tained from wheat smut . Not only doer smut reduce the yield in the field, but it also reduces the price which the farmer receives for his wheat. The presence of only five per cent of smutty wheat in a 10-acre Yield will cause a loss of $286.00 at present prices. Iast year it was es timated that wheat smut robbed Ne braska. Colorado and Kansas farmers of eighteen million dollars. Farmers are beginning to realize that they must treat seed wheat to prevent smut. Many more farmers in these states will treat seed this year with copper carbonate dust as result of the operation of the Burlington wheat smut special. Mr. Taylor, who had charge of this train on its re cent tour, advises that over 25,409 people visited the wheat special at 41 stops. "By far the majority were ac tual farmers who took a very definite interest in the train and its exhi bits," states Mr. Taylor. "It was not at all unusual for farmers to make a second trip through the train to study the exhibits and ask questions concerning methods of treating seed for control of smut. The exhibits brought to their attention the great losses caused by smut. Due emphasis was placed on the value of using standard varieties of certified seed wheat to increase yields and to elim inate mixtures now found in much of the wheat delivered to the Omaha market." Pour exhibit cars were used in the wheat special to portray the two ma jor points stressed in the campaign. The first car, elealing with the amount of wheat destroyed yearly by smut, was prepared by the Colorado Agricultural College; graphic illus trations were shown of the life cycle of the smut spore; effectual control measures were portrayed. The second car was an especially equipped flat car on which seed treating demon strations were made with commercial and home-made treating machines. The third car, prepared by the Ne braska Agricultural College, was de voted to methods used in developing new varieties, the certification of grains and valueof using certified seed. The fourth car, dealing with the grading and Inspection of grain at the terminal markets, was pre pared by the Omaha Grain Exchange. Val Kuska of Omaha, Colonization Agent for the Burlington, who also accompanied the special, advises that last fall M. T. Frederick, manager of the Farmers' Union Elevator at Ven ango, installed a smut treating ma chine and treated seed free for all his customers. A two cent per bushel charge was made to non-customers. Between eight and ten thousand bushels of seed were treated in this machine. "As a result of the wheat smut special," states Mr. Kuska, "Mr. Frederick in this year adding a com bined grader and cleaner for his cus tomers. The Farmers' Co-operative Elevator of Farnam renders a like service to all farmers of that com munity. At Palisade, Mr. Krotter, who was chairman of the local com mittee for the wheat train, stated that the train was responsible for Smith Brothers purchasing 1,000 bushels of certified Nebraska No. 60 8 od9 Warm tj lOj Blankets lOi Wmlm iilip LarSe size Cotton Blankets, plain grey or with border.

From Wednesdays Daliy It is being jestingly remarked through the country press, that man has two main ambitions one to own home, the other to own an automo bile to get away from home. It ap pears that love of society and pleas ure is wrecking American home life. Gifford Pinchot once remarked that the nation which will lead the world will be a nation of homes. At pres ent the American home is receiving much criticism for having apparent ly lost grip on the moral, spiritual and general well-being of the young people. When speaking of homes and their Influence on the community, we naturally think of their influence on the youth in those homes. We should not lose sight of thef act that the ex ample set by the childless home also exerts a silent, powerful influence over the youth of that community. Many remedies are being sufcest- ed for the revival of home life and parental responsibility. If stress is placed on only one or two factors of the ideal home, the results will be satisfactory and a well-rounded home life will not be established in America. The women of America who are banded together in the Federation of Women's Clubs, recognizing the necessity of a revival of home inter-J est, decided that the first step to ward the rejuvenation of the Ameri can home would be to focus parental attention on home surroundings. Ac cordingly, the general .' federation made the first appeal to home-makers, through the home equipment survey whose revealed facts made the basis for the federation's better equipped homes' campaign, now in progress. Parental responsibility in provid ing for the physical well-being of the home is one of the first steps in the revival of family life. Too many fam ilies own automobiles and not en ough own homes. The true home spirit which should make the house the most loved spot on earth calls for owned homes, not rented ones. Chil dren will find their pleasure at home when comfort and beauty and refin ing influences are there. ;with the revival of family Inter est irt the home, attention must then be given to the finer things which constitute happy family life. Court- home, and parents, and a respect for law and religion, is a two-fold par ental responsibility which should be shared equally in building a well rounded American home. Institutions for dependent chil dren are striving to create the home atmosphere in the care of their chil dren and they recognize that the selection of adequately trained em ployees is a most important single factor in providing for the mental health of the children. How much more should care be exercise in de veloping ideal home life. It is the aim of the American Home Department of the Xebraska Feder ation of Women's Clubs to encour age the development of that well rounded home life, defined thus by a school boy, "Home is a place that father loves to work for, mother loves to work in, the children love to play in and their friends love to visit."
