Dow About A Little Buckwheat?
In the sections where it can be
grown buckwheat holds out more
than usual promise this year.
, There are sure to be many acres
here and there which, because of
weather or shortage, will be un
planted when it is too late to put
in oats or corn. These fields will
just suit the buckwheat Early
preparation of the soil and a little
available plant food to start
growth will practically insure a
good crop of buckwheat If the
field, is inclined to be weedy, all
the more reason for buckwheat
The buckwheat grows so fast
that it soon takes the heart out
of the hardest ragweed.
Buckwheat has long been the
scapegoat of the cereal grains.
Just because it is enterprising
enough to try to grow on any old
soil it has the reputation of being
a poor-farm and poor farmer's
special crop. That doesn't mean,
however, that it will not do pro
portionally well with good treat
ment Successful growers 'of
buckwheat the men who aver
age 35 to 40 bushels per acre
know that well prepared land and
a little available plantfood, such
as is supplied by 200or S00 pounds
of a fertilizer carrying 2 per cent,
of ammonia and 10 or 12 per
cent of phosphoric acid, are nec
essary factors to produce this
good yield. They also know
by some of the"buckwheat farm
ers," growing buckwheat year
after year on the same land, not
even taking the trouble of plow
i ng re-seeding for buckwheat is
so good-natured that it will re
seed isself and almost never
contributing anything in the way
of manure or fertilizer toward
the growing of that crop.
Breezy Letter from Brattan.
James S. Brattan, formerly As
sistant Editor of the Fulton
County News, but now Manag
ing Editor of the Mount Union
News, under date of May 31st,
writes:
Friend Peck: You know
there is a place paved with Good
Intentions. Well, if I have sent
any cobbles from this "brick"
town it was un-intenlional, not
withstandingv the fact that I did
intend to write in answer to your
of a few weeks ago.
I have a nice room in a big
house set back in a great big
green yard nice and cool, bath,
electric light, etc. Directly across
theBtreet Dr. R. B. Campbell
and family reside in a splendid
house. Mrs. Campbell's mother,
Mrs. E. M. Lodge and the latter's I
daughter Miss Grace of McCon-
nellf burg, are viniting Mrs. Camp
bell just now. I had the pleas
ure of epending Wednesday even
ing on the Doctor's big porch.
John R. Jackson, Esq., of Mc
Connellsburg, dropped in to see
me recently. Dan Cromer, of
Fort Littleton, was in this week,
and Dr. Campbell said he saw
John P. Sipes passing through
town this morning in his auto
no, not in Mr. Campbell's auto
in John's own car.
Mike Laidig came up to our
town to work about two weeks
ago. I occasionally see Mr. Lai
dig on the street. Sam Gracey
is one of our reporters, when he
takes a notion. Jim Smith was
here, but I have not seen any
thing of him for about a month.
It is not an uncommon thing to
see FultonCounty people in Mount
Union.
This "Bricktown" is some
place. Minimum wages of un
skilled labor is three dollars a
day. I pay three dollars a week
for my room, and glad to get it
at that. Seven dollars a week is
the minimum 'for table board,
and seven and three make ten.
But why should we worry? Sal
aries and wages walk arm in arm.
You pay what is asked and pass
it on to the next fellow. These
prices are not excessive for cit
ies, neither for Mount Union; for
be it remembered that this town
is no longer a "thick place" in
the road, but a town rapidly ap
proaching a population equal to
that of all Fulton County. The
payrolls of the several industries
foot up enormous totals. De
posits in one of our banks ex
ceed the million mark.
Taking into consideration the
hundreds of "irresponibles" that
are always attracted to live
towns like Alt Union, we have
little rowdyism. Over at the
Powder Works, and at the sev
eral Refractories plants, uniform
ed police are necessary, of course,
same as at all plants of magni
tude in these strenuous wartimes
when industries are engaged
largely in government work. No
one suppose for a moment that
all intoxicants can be kept out of
a place like this. But there is
no doubt, whatever, that a
"dry" county contributes is no
uncertain degree to the good or
der that we enjoy.
I doubt if the average un
skilled laborer is the gainer, in
the long run, if he is making a
good living and a little to spare
in settled towns like McConnells
burg, if he "break up" his home
to locate here. Men without any
dependents may succeed, or fami
lies in which nearly every mem
ber may "take a job" can make
the combined earnings average
well. But a father with six little
mouths gaping like a nest of
young robins had better think
twice before making the change.
The Ritort Courteous.
Not long ago a letter came to
Division Headquarters from a
man who said, "my age is sixty
five, but I am only forty years
old." The letter went on to state
that the writer had served five
years in the United States Army,
that he had rome knowledge of
nursing and would only !)e too
willing, if the Red Cross needed
him, to go abroad and nurse with
out pay.
A courteous, letter of regret
was sent him, thanking him for
his generous and patriotic offer
and explaining that his Et;e de
barred him from the opportunity
he sought.
Nothing daunted he camoback
with this retort courteous: "Dear
Sir: I thank you for your kind
answer to my application as
nurse. I have no doubt that Miss
Francis knows the kind cf per
sons necessary for overseas; so
as I cannot go to the front, I will
do my little bjt right here by sub
scribing $1 a month to Over Seas
Red Cross during the continuance
of the War. I am subscribing
$10 a month to Liberty Bonds out
of my salary of $75 per month. I
was reading of the second com
ing of our Lord Jesus and I
thought "surely Walker, you
would not go out to meet the
Master with a pipe or ci,;ar in
your mouth; so I have stopped
the use of tobacco; hence this
subscription.
Mr. Lewis D. McQuade and
family of Altoona, accompanied
by Mrs. McQ'iade's father Mr.
Jacob Rotz, motored to McCon
nellsburg last Sunday. Ontheir
return home they were accom
panied by Mr. McQuade's moth
er Mrs. Nancy McQuade. Mr.
Rotz will spend the summer
months in McConnellsburg and
the Cove.
Let Unci Sam have the coal
Thousands of tons of coal will be saved this summer in homes that
formerly used a kitchen range all during the hot weather. These homes
are going to use oil cook stoves so there will be more coal next winter
and therefore more for the government Will your home be one of them ?
It should be.
NEW Pfff ECT10N
OIL C60K-T0VES '
will be in the majority of these homes and
there should be one in yours. You will
not only save coal you will save money.
Kerosene is far cheaper than coal. And
with a New Perfection you can have the
same good things to eat and with less
work, trouble and time. It doesn't heat
up the whole kitchen like a coal fire
does, either. You can regulate the heat
exactly as you want it. No fire to fix.
No ashes to bother with. Many good
cooks prefer to use a New
Perfection the year 'round.
But they get the best re
sults (and you will too) when
AT LA NT! C
Kavolkmt
they use Atlantic Rayolight Oil instead of
ordinary kerosene. The difference is in
the quality the way it is refined and pu
rified. All waste matter is taken out. All
the heat-producing elements are left in.
Atlantic Rayolight is a superior kerosene
yet the price is no more than for the
other kinds. There's a dealer near you
who sells Atlantic Rayolight Oil. Ix)ok for
the sign, "Atlantic Rayolight Oil For Sale
Here." Decide right now that you will
have a New Perfection Oil
Cook Stove this summer.
Your dealer can show you
one now. Goand see it today.

High Crop Yields.
Almost every farmer agrees
that he could raise more corn or
oats or hay or potatoes on a Riv
en acre of land if he set out to do
mo, and Renerally concludes his
remarks by sayinj? that to do so
would cost him more than the in
crease would bring on the mar
ket In order to throw some
light on this subject. Professor
Frank App of the New Jersey
Experiment Station collected data
on 192 farms in Monmouth Coun
ty, New Jersey. The average
crop yield of the county was rated
at 100 per cent. The income of
the farm was compared with the
average acre yield. The results
are illuminating. On farms
where the yield was 15 per cent,
less than the average, the farmer
worked for nothing and paid for
the privilege in addition, and the
lower the yield the greater was
the net loss on the farm. On the
other hand, the net gain increas
ed steadily with the gain in acre
production, even after all expen-
Bfis of growing the crop were de-
d icteU The man who grew
crops one-third larger than the
average receive! three times as
much money for his effort after
his expenses were deducted.
Professor App sums up his find
ings as followsf "Expenses per
crop acre increase with the in
creased production but not near
ly so rapidly as receipts."
Husband and TfV if e-
1. -Under the Act of 1917,
where a husband or wife dies in
testate leaving children and a
spouse the estate is divided as
follows:
(a) If a spouse and one child
only or a spouse and no children
but descendants of one deceased
child, the spouse Bhall be entitled
to one-half of the real and pei
sonal estate absolutely.
(b) Where a spouse survives
and more than one child, or one
child and descendants of another,
the surviving spouse shall be en
titled to one third of the real and
personal estate absolutely.
2. If there is a will and it is
contested a lawyer is necessary
and he will advise the proper procedure.
