Thinking  moulds  the 
mind  and  exercise  devel¬ 
ops  the  body,  but  food  supplies 
the  materials  for  building  mind 
and  body. 
Grape-Nuts,  made  from 
wheat  and  malted  barley,  is  a 
crisp,  delicious  cereal  food* 
rich  in  wholesome  nutriment. 
The  important  mineral  ele¬ 
ments  of  the  grains  are  readily 
available  in  this  splendid  food. 
The  essential  Vitamin-B  is  sup¬ 
plied  in  generous  measure. 
The  nutritious  starches  of  the 
wheat  and  barley  are  partially 
pre-digested  by  20  hours* 
baking. 
Grape-Nuts  with  milk  or 
cream  is  a  complete  food.  Its 
compact  form  makes  a  little 
go  a  long  way.

General  Farm  Topics 
Irrigating  a  Single  Row 
A  few  weeks  ago  William  Perkins 
wrote  an  account  of  his  irrigating  plant, 
and  his  success  with  it.  This  was  a 
small  affair,  and  largely  homemade,  but 
it  was  evident  to  many  of  our  readers 
that  such  an  outfit  during  the  past  sea¬ 
son  would  have  made  all  the  difference 
between  profit  and  loss  in  their  gardens. 
Mr.  Perkins  made  it  very  clear  and  his 
article  was  appreciated. 
The  magazine  entitled  New  Jersey 
Agriculture,  published  at  the  State  Col¬ 
lege  of  New  Jersey,  prints  a  picture  of  a 
single  movable  line  for  irrigating  small 
areas,  and  we  furnish  an  engraving  of 
the  same  outfit  at  Fig.  627.  This  single 
line  is  designed  for  small  operations, 
such  as  a  backyard  garden,  or  even  a 
farm  garden  where  such  work  is  de¬ 
sired.  As  will  be  seen,  this  pipe  is  laid 
over  the  top  of  the  row,  and  can  be 
easily  moved  from  place  to  place  with  a 
little  labor.  There  are  some  figures  in 
House  in  the  last  Congress  and  now  a 
director  of  the  same  corporation.  Their 
recommendations  may  be  summed  up  as 
follows : 
1.  Decrease  and  adjustment  of  pro¬ 
duction  to  meet  the  needs  of  the  American 
market  only,  so  long  as  the  foreign  market 
is  over.supplied  at  low  prices. 
2.  Organization  of  the  farmers  to 
market  wheat  by  the  cooperative  system 
independently  of  the  speculative  public 
contract  market. 
One  of  their  most  important  conclusions 
is  that  it  would  probably  prove  disastrous 
for  the  Government  to  buy  the  surplus 
wheat  in  this  country  and  dump  it  at  the 
best  price  obtainable  on  foreign  markets 
to  keep  up  the  price  in  this  country. 
They  predicted  that  other  countries,  in¬ 
cluding  Great  Britain,  would  take  de¬ 
fensive  measures  against  a  demoralization 
of  their  markets,  that  would  have  the  op¬ 
posite  effect  from  that  desired  h.v  Ameri¬ 
can  farmers.  Many  plans  were  suggested 
by  the  wheat  farmers  to  Messrs.  Meyer 
and  Mondell  on  their  trip,  but  most  of 
them  they  found  either  impracticable  or 
less  likely  to  prove  effective  than  those 
which  they  indorsed.  Among  the  plans 
suggested  in  the  wheat  belt  were  the  fol¬ 
lowing  : 
Single  Movable  Line  for  Small  Areas.  Fig.  627 
New  Jersey  Agriculture  which  will  in¬ 
terest  our  people. 
To  cover  an  acre  of  land  with  5  in. 
of  water  wTill  require  over  27,000  gal¬ 
lons  of  water.  Under  ordinary  condi¬ 
tions  this  quantity  is  delivered  in  about 
nine  boui’s  with  the  usual  overhead  sys¬ 
tem.  A  pump  that  can  furnish  water  to 
one  quarter  of  an  acre  at  a  time  will 
prove  satisfactory,  but  a  stronger  pump 
will  be  better.  For  example,  one  with 
a  capacity  of  4.000  to  5,000  gallons  an 
hour.  A  gasoline  engine  from  six  to 
seven  horsepower  will  usually  drive  such 
a  pump.  Where  larger  areas  are  to  be 
watered,  five  to  six  horsepower  engine 
will  be  required  for  each  acre,  and  the 
pump  outfit  should  maintain  pressure  at 
40  lbs.  at  nozzle.  For  a  portable  line 
about  100  ft.  long,  such  as  is  shown  in 
the  picture,  about  25  nozzles  would  be 
used,  and  six  to  eight  gallons  per  minute 
are  required.  The  drought  of  the  past 
season  has  driven  many  gardeners  and 
farmers  to  the  study  of  irrigation,  and 
it  seems  likely  that  many  outfits  will  be 
put  in  before  next  season. 
FARM  AND  GARDEN.— An  official 
notice  to  the  Interstate  Commerce  Com¬ 
mission  that  the  railroads  of  the  United 
States  feel  they  cannot  go  forward  with 
the  suggestion  of  President  Coolidge  that 
they  reduce  export  grain  rates  for  the 
benefit  of  Western  grain  farmers  was 
given  November  1  by  the  Association  of 
Railway  Executives. 
Illinois  has  passed  a  law  for  the  pro¬ 
tection  of  certain,  wild  plants  that  are  in 
danger  of  extermination.  The  law  states 
that  any  person',  firm  or  corporation  who 
shall,  within  the  State  of  Illinois,  buy. 
se’l.  offer  or  exnose  for  sale  any  bloodroot, 
lady  slipper,  columbine,  trillium.  lotus  or 
gentian  is  guilty  of  a  misdemeanor,  pun¬ 
ishable  by  fine,  except  where  the  owner  or 
occupier  of  private  land  gives  consent  in 
writing  to  the  gathering  or  digging  of  the 
flowers.  Such  a  law  is  already  in  force 
in  Vermont. 
THE  WHEAT  INQUIRY. — President 
Coolidge’s  emissaries  to  the  wheat  belt, 
who  were  requested  to  find  a  remedy  for 
financial  distress  of  the  wheat  farmers, 
made  their  report  November  4.  Tlie^  are 
Eugene  Meyer,  managing  director  of  the 
War  Finance  Corporation,  and  Frank  W. 
Mondell,  Republican  floor  leader  of  the 
1.  An  increase  in  the  tariff  on  wheat. 
2.  Government  price  fixing,  accom¬ 
panied  by  the  necessary  control  of  the 
wheat  trade. 
3.  Government  purchase  of  the  “sur¬ 
plus”  with  the  view  of  exporting  it  to 
foreign  markets. 
4.  Distribution  of  $5S, 000.000,  which, 
it  was  said,  was  a  profit  made  by  the 
Grain  Corporation  during  its  .existence. 
5.  Modification  of  the  present  immi¬ 
gration  laws  to  provide  for  the  selective 
admission  of  a.  larger  supply  of  labor. 
6.  Organization  and  development  of 
cooperative  wheat  marketing  associations.
