Heroism of Various Kinds

Heroism is a hard term to define.
The times the conditions, the material
OF which an army is composed, the
temper of the people on whose senti-
ment an officer must lean for support
all these factors have to be taken
into account independently with each
occasion as 1T comes up for judgment
Moral heroism may sometimes wear
the guise of physical cowardice, the
valor of one act might be the purest
theatricalism in another. The public
should be slow in forming its opinion.
And, above all. IL should not do it's
Mysteries first and its calm considera-
tion Observation-Disclosures Post.

RusrED WHEAT FOR SEED

Some weeks ago T he Globe gave
publicity to the reports, based upon
statements made by men who ought
to know, that rusted wheat was fit
for seed and would grow under favor
able conditions. The impression OBJ
tained from the statements made at
that time was that fairly clean rusted
wheat used for seed would produce a
1alr crop in normal season. This
morning we print an important article
bearing upon this question of seed
wheat. 1t is based upon experiment
rather than expert opinion and de-
mands the immediate attention of the
farmer who is preparing his seed for
the ground.
1t is apparent from the deductions
drawn by Dean Liggett from the ex-
periments made at the state experi-
ment station that the farmer should
II possible avoid using rusted wheat.
IL he cannot obtain new, sound seed
and is compelled to the use of rusted
wheat, the greatest care should be ex-
ercised in obtaining the best selected
of the kernels of last years crop. I'm
der no circumstances should wheat
weighing as low as forty-seven pounds
to the bushel be used It will not pro-
duce marketable grain and is not like
Iy to yield any sort of crop unless the
conditions are quite perfectly favora-
bic. Seed wheat weighing less than
fifty five pounds to the bushe1 should
De avoided as far as possible. This
may be avoided by carefully tanning
the rusted wheat The farmer who can
find the means should procure new
wheat for seed.
This latter will not be easily accom-
pllshed in many communities, but IT
VIII be we'll for the husbandman to be-
stir himself in the matter. He has
been denied by a paternal government
the right to import new clean seed
without paying the governmental i'm
post. The authorities could find no
warrant for permitting the importation
OF seed grain for the benefit Of the
farmer-who had no lobby at Wash
1ngton-but the administration discoy-
cred a way to give the miller the right
to import wheat for milling purposes.
There is no hope for relief from the
present conditions. The farmer who
can afford to buy new seed should do
so. The man who cannot afford to do
that owes it to himself to follow care
fully the directions given by Dean
Liggett for securing the best seed from
the wheat he has on hand. The size
and quality of the next harvest will
depend on the intelligent industry of
the farmer in selecting the seed for
the spring sowing.

DEFICIT SCARES
FEDERAL SENATE

also been fixed up, and this measure, IA
voring as 1t does a large number of
cities and towns in many congressional
districts, will be hard one to beat.
The senate Is scared. There is deficit
in the treasury amounting to more than
s20. 100000, and the treasury officials
do not expect that this will be much
smaller at the end of the fiscal year on
June 80. Despite this discouraging out
look, the house has gone ahead with
plans which will result in larger ap
propriatiOns than those of last year,
and which will inevitably cause a
treasury deficit next year.
Senator Allison, chairman of the
senate committee on appropriations,
has talked with the president about the
outlook, and some of the Republican
leaders in the senate have been getting
their heads together in serious confab
on the subject of appropriations. The
president urges economy, but he wants
the economy in spots; a horizontal cut
in expenditures does not appeal to him,
for ne believes the naval appropriation
bill should be a big one. a strong navy,
he says, makes for peace, and he is
urging senators and representatives III
season and out of season to let the
naval appropriations alone.
Two years ago Senator Tom Carter,
of Montana, as his valedictory TO the
senate, of which he is now again to
become a member, talked the river and
harbor bill TO death. 1t would not be
strange if some other senator should
repeat this feat on the 4tk of March.
At any rate. there is "a good deal of op-
position TO the river and harbor bill in
the senate, as there is against the pub
lie buildings bill. and the life Of both
measures is threatened.

Col. George Harvey, of Harper's, only
displays his newness in journalism
when he says, Cursed be the man who
initiated the policy of never making a
retraction in the columns of his jour-

poraries had no time TO make retrac-
tions, for it was up to them to shoot or
be shot. A good aim made retraction
unnecessary, and a bad one made IL
possible.-Koochichin Press.
The educational contest arranged by

to $500. For further particulars see

Geological moments. He fails to seize
