(Prepared nnd npproved by the De
partment of Agricultural Engincur
injr College of Agriculture).
It is reported tlint the apportion
ment of steel to the manufacturers of
farm implements for the coming year
as allotted the Council of National
Defense is to bo about one-half of
the amount used last year. Should
this report prove to be true, n scarc
ity of farm implements will follow
nnd high prices for them may be ex
pected. How can you ns n farmer help to
relieve this situation?
First. By selling or loaning any
imnt.imnni vnti will tint use voursolf:
your implement dealer, county agent,
Farmers' union or commercial club
will be glad to help you sell it to
someone who needs it. Many improve
ments have been made upon the im
plements of ten yaers ago but most
r Vinun ImnlninontH did effective
worlc nnd many of them were never
worn out.' If you have such a machine
that has been put aside and replaced
by a later model, even tho it may be
badly worn or needs rcpnirs, remem
ber that it may still perform many
days of useful service in this emer
gency if you help get it Into the hands
of the man who needs it nnd can get
nothing better.
Second. In neighborhoods where
there isva severe shortage of Imple
ments n united effort should be put
forth to keep all available machines
at work during every daylight hour.
This will make changes in the cus
tomary working hours, and close co
operation will be .necessary, ijonsm
erable inconvenience may be expect
ed nnd should be tolerated in the
spirit of rcnl patriotism which calls
upon every true American farmer to
nrodilco everv bushel within his
power.
Third. Overhaul all machinery nc
soon as possible and order necessary
repairs at once. Delay nnd slow de
livery should be no surprise and on
mnny of the older machines it may
be impossible to obtain the repairs.
Broken castings may often be weld
ed by the oxy-ncctylcnc process used
by mnny blacksmiths nnd automobile
repair men.
Winter-killed wheat has left thou
sands of acres of Nebraska land up
on which corn will be planted and the
following suctrestions are offered
which may be of some assistance:

attachment is missing or damaged
beyond repair, a separate ciriu must
be made. This may be a one-horse,
one-row machine, costing about $15,
that is readily nanciieu ny a noy; or
the two-row, two-horse drill may be
used. Mcjit corn planters are. or

to be used uom ior cnccK-row punn

will add only $3 or $4 to the cost.

tice of using this type of two-row ma
chine claiming the following advan
tages over the combined lister:
1. More even depth of planting;
this results in a more uniform stand
since the plants all appear at about
tho same time; this uniformity of
size makes the early cultivation easi
er nnd more efficient.
2. Uniform distance between the
tin vnura mnkns thn ortOfotion of a
two-row cultivator easier and more
efficient.
3. Straighter rows result because
there is no drill on the lister for the
driver to watch.
4. The operator of the drill needs
to do little driving and may watch
the dropping closely and will notice
interruntions nuicker than on a com
bined lister.
Recent ra'trm will probably pack the
soil in wheat fields so that there will
be little difficulty with mold board
listers failing to scour.
THE LOOSE GROUND LISTER
The use of this implement on fall
plowing is considered highly desir
able by many Nebraska farmers. On

there was evidence of need of cattle

unevenly higher, top lambs $10.35, un

BEEF CATTLE
The mnrket would have ruled
stronger, but action of the Govern

$13 or better, some good pulp steers
at $12.25 to $12.50, and some good
quarantine steers from Texas, $11.40.
'these prices snow an advance oi co
to 50 cents over sales of same cattle a
week ago. Plain native cattle without
much merit as killers sold at $9.50
to $10.75. Fills were good today, some
cattle showing gains over home
weight. A train of California steers
sold at $11.25. four loads of light

Receipts overran estimates today

to take everything that comes at

Hiirlmrn Wlinrton know from the
first thnt there wiik not I ho Mluhtest
excuso for It. The second lime she
hnd met him she hnd known of his
niiirrliigu, yet to the strangely re
He'rved, cautious little girl there was
something dangerously attractive In
.lornmo Tnwne's keen I'ves nnd graying
temples. She yielded to his requests
for her time whenever lie coum ninuu
nn opportunity to visit the town, and
treasured the notes, penned In n tiny,
almost feminine hand, that reached
her frequently, carefully guarding this,
her first "affair," from parents and
neighbors.
Time nnd ngnln she pondered upon
the emotion that would follow discov
ery of the Intimacy. As one wholly
unconcerned she pictured the resent
ful anger of the town. She, the prldo
of all tho neighborhood, had stooped
to a silly flirtation with a man old
enough to he her fnther she, whose
family flourished upon years of sell
satisfied esteem.
Hecnusc her mother wns a mother
there was no need to tell her. She
knew of severnl moonlight strolls In
which ,tho city man hud Joined her
pretty daughter. She recalled tho
dancing eyes nnd rapidly crimsoning
cheeks when, feigning need of informa
tion ns to his rose bushes, Mr. Towne
had on several occasions sought their
home. Barbara had at first been hearty
In her avowed admiration of the strik
ing, well-groomed man. With secret
annoyance her mother hnd noted the
gradual discontinuance of the frank
comments.
A note, written the day before, fal
len from Its envelope, caught Mrs.
Whnrton's eye as she rummaged In
her sewing table, nnd she picked It up,
disclosing the city man's handwriting.
She rend the delicate lines twice
through.
"Dearest of Girls I'm sorry; I can't
see you today. But Tony will bring
you this, and tomorrow I shall meet
you nt the station nnd take you up
to the city with me for the day. We'll
see a matinee nnd have dinner nt Col
mer's. Can you, will you manage It?
Beniember, I shall be waiting. Hope
fully. J. T."
Mrs. Wharton dropped her sowing,
crumpled the little note In her lingers
nnd started otit, down the winding
road. Somehow, Barbara seemed very
old, very capable, all at once was
there nothing to be done? One couldn't
order a twenty-two-year-old daughter
to stay at home. And then Mr. Whar
ton's tnll, square frame came Into view
as he moved about his rose bushes, '.ind
mother caught her breath with a little
gasp. She formed if plan.
"You don't mind If I go up to the city
on thu noon train, mother?"
Barbara was wining glasses after
breakfast the next morning and she
didn't look up as she made the query.
"I'd like to match the ribbon for my
dross, and and I want to go moth
er!" "If you think best, dear," Mrs. Whar
ton tried to catch Barbara's eyes, and
failed. Barbnra went through Into the
dining room nnd returned, slowly. And
her mother put up a quick hand and
brushed something from her cheek.
"Mother I Why, there's something
the mntter! You're sick!" Two
Btrong nrms whirled the little grny
bulred woman to the light. "Mother,
what Is It."
"Nothing that I can't tell you some
other time, dear." Mother sighed soft
ly. "There's no need worry about
me."
"You'll tell me this minute."
"When you come bnck, dear" Her
mother hesitated an Instant to gather
courage. "I I can't spoil your trip.
Go nnd have a good time "
"No, sir." Barbara seated herself
on tho broad window ledge and braced
imp shoes with n determined stnmp,
and mother rejoiced Inwardly. "Not
one inch do I stir unless you tell me."
Her mother stilled a nervous sob
with small success and stammered with
tho words: "It's daddy," she whis
pered finally with a backward glanco
of terror lest the walls should hear.
"Daddy !" Barbara's bewilderment
transfigured her fuce.
"He's dearie, how can I innko you
understand such' a little girl. He's
growing tired of me, Barbara. He's
I"
"Mother!" The bewilderment hnd
phnncod to renroach.
"i think h is Interested In some
body else, dear!" Mrs. Wharton fin-
lo!,.w1 lirnvnlv with fl t-llgh.
"It enn't be, mother! You're mis
taken. Why, not our daddy, mother."
"What does It menu, deur, when a
man with a wife seeks the company
of nnother womnn who Is younger and
prettier? What can it mean, except
timt tho mother sought wonis to ex
press her emotion, but her tears were
mysteriously dried, nnd she spoke with
telling seriousness. "You can't under
stand, except the woman who seesJho
man who's shnred her llfo drifting
from her, drawn by n thouglytless girl."
"Poor, denr mother! I'll talk to
daddy you leave him to mo! But
nowoh, mother I I wnnt to go down
to tho station, for Just 0110 minute.
I've got to, denr." And Barbara was
gone, hntlcss, brenthless.
Mr. Wharton smiled understanding
ly over his wife's head when, five min
utes later, Bnrbnra rushed Into the
kitchen with finmlng cheeks nnd flung
a trembling arm about ench. Both
know tho manner of Jerome Towno's
