THE PLAINDEALER Pag 7 SCIENTIFIC DEPARTMENT OF THE KANSAS STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Dr. Youmans Medical Service Club Single man, $1.00 per month Family, $2.00 per month To the man of limited income, the fear of an unexpected big Doctors bill, for himself or hia family, always looms up before him as a night-mare. Sickness nor accident never announces before that it is coming to you. It may catch you when you can least afford it. It is not so hard on the man of means who can borrow at the bank or has good credit with the physician.

It is the man of weekly earnings, most of which it takes to live, that suffers when the doctor will not come unless he gets the cash. Dr. Youmans has originated this Medical Club for the working man and his family. Dr. You-mans was student of Rush Medical, of Chicago, also was a student of the Honnamann Medical and Bennett Medical Colleges.

He is an Honorary member of the National Medical Association. He has had three years practical experience in Cook County Hospital of Chicago. He holds certificates from the states of Illinois, Iowa and Kansas. He has practiced for 15 years in the different hospitals in Wichita. His splendid reputation as a physician and surgeon gives you the best medical service available.

Dr. Youmans agrees to attend to all Surgical and Medical Cases and treat the families for the following figures Single men, $1.00 per month. Man, wife and one child, $2.00 per month. Man, wife and number of child- This also includes all Call medicine. Ten, $3.00 per month.

Do not put new stock, either hogs or cattle with hogs already on the farm. Newly purchased hogs should be put into separate enclosures well separated from the herd already on the farm and kept under observation for three weeks. This is necessary as stock cars, unloading chutes, and pens are likely to be infected with hog cholera organisms. Burn up all carcasses of dead cattle, horses, hogs, sheep, or dogs on the day they die. Do not allow chtckens or hogs to have access to a dead carcass.

Ponds should be drained and thoroughly covered with lime. Where this cannot be done they should be fenced liog tight. Infected ponds and wallows become a source of infection on the farm for years and little or nothing can be done until they are drained. When wallows exist near the drinking trough they should be plowed up and filled in after they have been drained apd covered with air slaked lime. The use of the sanitary hog wallow eliminates this source of infection.

Office109 North Store Phone Market 2131 Protect young swine from cholera by so arranging the breeding pens and hog houses that good drainage, sunlight, and fresh air will be insured. Is the advice of Dr. C. W. Hobbs, field vetinarian and superintendent of the serum laboratory at the Kansas State Agricultural college.

The young pigs are susceptible to pneumonia and other diseases, said Doctor Hobbs. If allowed to nest in a draft, they may contract disease. Their vitality will at any rate be lowered, making them more suscepitble to cholera. Overfeeding either the mother or the young pigs, especially with fat producing food, will also render the pigs more susceptible to disease. Do not allow communication between your hog lot and the lots belonging to neighbors as cholera germs may be carried easily on persons shoes.

Wagons that have been used to carry infected or dead hogs will infect corn and other feed and in this way disease may be brought to ones farm. Frequent cleaning and burning of litter in the hog pens will prevent any latent infection. Hog pens, feeding troughs, and buildings should be protected by reg Wants Million Bushels of Wheat Next Year Government Officials Set High Mark For Production. INCREASE ACREAGE 10 PER CENT Detailed Plan For Big Work Has Been Singled Out by Secretary Houston and His Assistants, Washington, D. C.

August The production of over one billion bushels of wheat and over eighty-three million bushels of rye, through the planting of 47,37,000 acres to winter wheat and of 5,131,000 acres to rye this fall, is the immediate war agricultural program for the Nation announced today by David F. Houston, Secretary of Agriculture. This record winter wheat acreage, an increase of 18 per cent over last year, would yield 672,000,000 -bushels if Yfre average yield for the past ten years is equalled, or nder a repetition of the favorable conditions of 1914 would give 880,000,000 bushels. In either case with a spring wheat crop next year equal to that of 1915, the Nation will have more than one billion bushels of wheat for domestic use and export. This vastly increased production of wheat, needed in any case, will be absolutely essential to prevent a ser sured as fixed and satisfactory.

If any one or more fail to be adjusted in good time, no person can tell how serious will be the effect on the total crop. The planting and cultivation of these increased acreages of fall-sown grains calls for unusual effort on the part of the farmers. Plans to place at the disposal of farmers all assistance possible. are being perfected in the U. S.

Department of Agriculture, the State colleges of agriculture, and other State and local agencies which cooperate in farming matters. The assistance of successful growers of wheat and rye in a' campaign to turn out bumper crops in 1918 is assured. The State officials will do their utmost to get the acreages expected of their States into the ground. The program as originally worked out by the Federal Department of Agriculture called for somewhat more than 44)000, 000 acres to be sown this fall. When this proposal was presented to the officials of the several States a further increase was considered possible and desirable by them.

As a consequence the recommendation for the sowing of 47,337,000 acres is made. Following is a summary of the Departments recommendations regarding winter wheat and rye; Wheat. The planting of approximately acres to winter wheat, on the basis of the average yield for the past ten years indicates a total production of 672 million bushels, which exceeds all previous winter wheat crops harvested in the United States with the exception of the crops of 1914 and 1915 when the acreages harvested and yields per acre were both above normal. IE the extremely favorable conditions under which the winter wheat crop of 1914 was grown are again experienced, the yield of winter wheat next year will be 880,000,000 bushels or by far the largest, winter wheat crop ever produced and even larger than the total of both winter and spring wheat crops for all past years except two. It is too early to determine the area which should be sown to wheat next spring, but if this is equal to that sown in the spring of 1917, or 19 million acres, and the yield is up to the average of the last ten years, a crop of 251 million bushels of spring wheat, will be harvested, and If the yield per acre should equal that obtained in 1915 the crop will be 350 million bushels, the same as the greatest spring wheat crop ever produced.

Thus, with no Increase in the spring wheat acreage but with the 18 per cent increase over the 1916 winter wheat sowings planned for this fall, the total wheat crop next year will be more than one billion bushels, if the crop meets with slightly better than 10-year average conditions. With extremely favorable conditions, such as were experienced by the winter wheat crop in 1914 and the spring wheat crop in 1915, the total yield would amount to one and one-quarter billion bushels. A 10 per cent Increase in spring wheat acreage with favorable growing conditions would add another 30,000,000 bushels. The figures quoted above are based upon a winter killing of 9 per cent and yields per acre of 15.6 bushels for winter wheat and 13.2 bushels for spring wheat, the averages for the last ten years, and a yield per acre in 1914 of 19 bushels of winter wheat, and 18.4 bushels of spring wheat in 1915.

Western range ewes are being used to start farm flocks in the Corn Belt and in the East. In the Corn Belt these ewes have already proved their ability to produce market-topping Iambs when mated to good rams of mutton breeds and when well cared for during the winter and after lambing.

They may be expected to do well on the farms east of the Corn Belt, and on the hilly pastures of the Appalachian Mountain system. Get Sound Animals. In purchasing these ewes care should be taken to obtain those with sound teeth, udders that are soft and pliable, and teats that are sound and have no hard cores. Ewes from one to three years of age are to be preferred. These ewes may be InJhiq condition but should suffer nondiscrimination on this account If thin they cost less per head than if fat, and the flesh needed to put them in good condition can be put on by the purchaser more cheaply than it can be bought in the open market.

These ewes are usually free from stomach worms, and thanks to the regulations governing the interstate shipment of sheep, are free from sheep scab or other communicable diseases. They can ordinarily be purchased through commission men on central markets, or direct from the range breeders. Organizations interested in effecting an increase in farm flocks have arranged to sell Western ewes to Eastern farmers at Healthy Stock. Regardless of how they are purchased, the buyer should insist that the stock be healthy, sound of teeth, and have good udders and teats. Farmers Bulletin No.

At the urgent request of a number of the most prominent hog raisers in Sedgwick County, this work was brought to Sedgwick county. Representatives of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry have just completed the organization of the Sedgwick County Hog Cholera Association, which is composed of farmers and veterinarians. A systematic fight to control hog cholera in Sedgwick County has bene inaugurated. Veterinarians of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry will hold meetings and deliver lectures on hog cholera in each school house in the county. Anti-hog cholera serum will be recommended to prevent the spread of the disease, together with practical demonstrations, where necessary, of the most approved method of administration.

Arrangements will be made whereby serum may be obtained without delay and administered efficiently by a competent man at a reasonable cost to the owner. Quarantine measures will be largely voluntary. No drastic quarantine will be enforced. The term voluntary quarantine, means such methods as one will employ to prevent the spread of? the disease from his sick to his well stock, or from his farm to his neighbors farms. Buletins will be furnished local newspapers showing the manner in which hog cholera is spread, how best to guard against it, how to proceed when it appears in the herd and how to eradicate it from the premises.

A veterinarian of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry has been placed in charge of the work in Sedgwick County with headquarters at Jays Pharmacy. It is this mans duty to make farm investigations free of expense where there are sick hogs, and to co-operate with the farmers in every way to control hog cholera. Ewes for New Flocks Washington, D.

The following suggestions will be of value to every patron and employe of the company: 1. Always stand a cars length from the side of the street where the car stops. By so doing the step will be about in front of you. No time will be lost in boarding the car.

2. In alighting from the car, do not do so while the car is moving. If you ring for a street, be ready to alight when the car stops. If possible, have the exact amount of fare. 3.

Upon leaving a car always look both ways, up and down the street, before starting to the sidewalk. This precaution will avoid possible collision with vehicles.

The program approved by the Secretary of Agriculture represents the best thought of the U. S. Department of Agriculture and of State agricultural officials and State councils of defense. The study of this question has involved many factors and the specialists have been aware from the first that the demands for wheat may exceed the supply next year. Effort therefore has been made to recommend in each state about as large an acreage in wheat and rye as can be 1 sown without upsetting proper farm practice which must be maintained in the interest of wheat and rye crops this and succeeding years, as well as if the interest of other necessary spring-planted crops which are not discussed in detail at this time as they are not food crops in which a marked shortage exists.

The estimates, the Department states, are made with the knowledge that there is some shortage of the fertilizer supply but with the understanding that there will be no general shortage in the supply of seed or of farm machinery which is necessary in the production of the wheat cropu. It is understood also that ample transportation facilities will be provided and a fair price of wheat will be established. These factors have been as- C. E. Grove, 327 S.
