SEED CORN SPECIAL
The Gospel ofGood Seed sown
IN Crawford.
THE ATTENDANCE WAS LARGE
Synopsis of Addresses as Delivered by
Prof. Holden and Assistants to the
Farmers of Crawford.

Friday, March 10th, witnessed the re-
markable scene of hundreds of old-time
farmers listening with eager attention to
the advice of few young men. college
men at that, on subject of concern and
profit to the tillers of the soil. 1t was an
answer to the man who sneers at the prac-
ticability of an higher education and an
equal answer to the snob who says the
farmers are not anxious to learn anything
given from scientific standpoint for their
benefit.
What will the harvest be? That de-
ponds upon how strongly the farmers take
the lesson to heart aud whether they prac-
tice what Prof Holden preached.
The REVIEW is anxious to learn the re-
suits of the corn special train and its Cos
pei. 1t will be glad if each farmer. who
adopts the test this year would send in his
name then later send in the result of the
test and in the spring send in report OF
the stand as compared with fields not test
co ana later report OF the crop as COIL
pared with fields not tested. This invita-
ton is open to all farmers in Crawford
county and the reports will be published
from time to time. If the farmers will
cooperate with us in this matter Crawford
can furnish an object lesson that will be
helpful not only to ourselves but to others.
The Holden lectures were delivered at
West Side, Vail, Denison, Dunlap, Rick
etts, Schleswis and Kiron. AT Denison
three cars we're taxed to their utmost ca
pacity and at every stop the attendance
was good. Below we print synopsis Of
the plain, common sense talk as delivered
by Prof. Holden:

Selecting, Testing and Grading
Seed Corn.

When harvesting seed corn close at
tention should be paid to the selection of
seed ears. In the field, however, the
farmer cannot make as careful a selection
as he can after the ears have dried out
thoroughly. The selecting and grading
of the seed in the spring should not be
left until the rush of spring begins. If
left until then there is danger that the
work will be hurriedly done. It is best to
do the selecting in February or early
March. All this fine the corn is thoroughly
dry and the farmer has more leisure time
than at any other period. To select we'll
one should have plenty of room and work
slowly and carefully,
The first step is to lay the ears out in
rows on planks or tables, or if these are
not available they may be laid on the
floor. Then the best ear should be select
ed and with this in hand, or more per-
feet ear in mind the rows of ears should
be gone over and all ears discarded that
do not conform to the ideal size, shape,
color or uniformity of kernels. When
the faulty ears, as judged from outward
appearances, have been discarded two or
three kernels should be taken out of each
remaining ear and laid germ side up in
front Of the ear from which they were
taken. Then with an ideal kernel in mind
or better, with one in hand, the ears
should be gone over again and those kerr
nels which do not conform to the ideal
should be discarded. In yellow corn any
mixed kernels should be taken out before
Smelling as they are more easily seen on
the ear. In white corn they should be
left until the ear is shelled as they are
more readily seen then.
This process of selection will greatly
rednce the number of ears. For this
reason one should gather two or three
times as much seed in the fall as he has
any intention of using.

Chicago's Big Strike.

The Chicago Team Owners associa-
ton. an organization employing 5000
union Transfers, has decided to re-
main neutral in the present labor
struggle, now in progress in Chicago.
Ever since the commencement OF the
transfers strike the team owners as
sociation has been anxious to have the
question of making deliveries to strike
hound houses submitted to arbitration.
The transfers, by unanimous vote,
refused to agree to the proposition
and for a time it seemed that the
team owners would force strike OF
these 5000 drivers by ordering them
70 make deliveries to firms involved In
the strike.
Negotiations for peace, which prom

are so far apart on any plans of set

ployers would mean "dishonorable SUI

RoosEvELT'S NOTE FOR PEACE
Sent to Japanese and Russian Gov
ernments.

ernments.
On June the following dispatch
was sent by the president through dip
lomatic channels to the Japanese and
Russian governments:
"The president feels that the time
has come when in the interest OF all
mankind he must endeavor to see If
it is possible to bring to an end the
terrible and lamentable conflict now
being waged. When both Russia and
Japan the United States has intimacy
and friendship. 1t hopes for the pros
perity and welfare of each, and 1t
feels that the progress of the world IS
set back by the war between these
two great nations. The president &C
cordingly urges the Russian and Jap
anese governments, not only for their
own sakes, but in the interest OF the
whole civilized world, to inaugurate
direct negotiations for peace with one
another.
'"The president suggests that these
peace negotiations be conducted al
rectly and exclusively between the
belligerents; in other words, thai
there may be a meeting of Russian
and Japanese plenipotentiaries or del
egates without any intermediary, II
order to see if it is not possible fol
these Representatives of the two pow
ers to agree to terms of peace. The
president earnestly asks that the Rus
sian and Japanese governments az
now agree to such meeting and Ii
asking the Japanese and Russian gov
lernments to agree likewise.
while the president does not fee
that any intermediary should be call
ed with respect to the peace negot1
atoms themselves, he is entirely viii
ing to do what he properly can,
the powers concerned feel that his sci
vices will be of effect in arranging tn
preliminaries as to the time and .plac
of meeting. But if even these prelin
inaries can be arranged directly bt
}. tween the two powers, or in any othe
way, the president will be glad, as hi
sole purpose is to bring about NEE
ing which the whole civilized worl
will pray may result in peace"

WAR STATUS LAST WEEK.
No Military or Naval Operations In
Far East.

There were no important military or
naval operations in the far east last
week, as all influences were making
for peace. No aggressiveness was
manifested in Manchuria, although
both armies have apparently been in
condition tn wage heavy battle. Field
Marshal Oyama evidently decided to
postpone his contemplated forward
movement until the question of sea
supremacy was determined and by so
doing he has undoubtedly effected an
immense saving in blood and treasure.
The week closed with an expression
of willingness by both belligerents to
accept the suggestion of President
Roosevelt for the appointment of plen-
ipotentiaries who are to consider
peace terms. This does not necessari,
ly mean that the conditions proposed
by Japan will be acceptable or that a
permanent end of hostilities is assur
ed by the calling Of the conference
But it signifies that Russia has in a
measure recognized the hopelessness
of her cause, and with the intimatior
that peace would be agreeable to her
the first essential step toward getting
lit has been taken.
The striking figure in these impor
tant preliminaries has been that o
} President Roosevelt. 1T is now admit
ted at all the great capitals that n
was in the best position to advise tn
opening of negotiations that Nigh
bring to a close the bloody confiic

done it with dignity and felicitou
terms and both powers intereste
=, have not been slow to praise the az
, mirable manner in which he has IL
} bored for peace.

The Chipmunk's Winter Home.

Few of our wild creatures make
greater preparation for winter than
does the chipmunk, which at other
easons is so frequently seen in the
vicinity of stone-heaps and old stone
walls. First he makes a long, narrow,
winding tunnel in the earth, and from
this he runs out several galleries,
which are to serve as store-rOoms.
Then he begins to lay in supply Of
food which is to last him until spring.
In each cheek he has pouch, witt
an opening ON the inside Of the mouth,
and these he uses as market baskets
to carry his provisions. At different
seasons he stuffs them full of seed,
wheat buckwheat, apple-pits, and
| nuts of various kinds, all of which he

begins this work in the summer, and

Official assurances that the presl-
dents efforts to bring Russia and Jap |
an together to discuss peace will be
crowned with success was brought to
the White House Monday by Count
Cassini, the Russian ambassador, who
called by appointment and in the name
of Emperor Nicholas formally. accepted
the presidents offer of good will. The
following official statement regarding
the conference was issued at the White
House.:
Ambassador Cassini has called to ex-
press the Russian governments assent
to the presidents proposition and to
say that they would appoint plenipo-
tentiaries to meet the plenipotentiaries
of Japan to discuss the question OF
peace. The place Of meeting is at
present being discussed.
During the past two weeks the presi-
dents efforts have been directed to-
ward a mutual agreement to consider
terms of peace. This he accomplished
finally Monday. 1t remains now for
the belligerent powers to name their
plenipotentiaries and agree upon time
and place for them to meet to discuss
terms and to negotiate q treaty OF
peace. These "details are now under
consideration, with bright prospect
that such minor differences as may ex-
ist will be resolved within few days.
Conferences of supreme Importance
were held Monday in Washington. The
blue room of the White Huose was the
scene, and President Roosevelt, Count
Cassini and Kogoro Takahira, the Jap
anese minister, were the principal coll
ferees. President ROOSEVELT now has
uneouivocal assurances from both Rus
STA and Japan of the acceptance OF hi
proposition that they enter on negotla
lions for peace.
The president is likewise assured O.
the absolute sincerity of both govern
ments in acceding to his suggestion.
Japan was the first of the two power

, Roosevelt's proposition. The forma
response to his identical note of Thurs

CHARGED MILEAGE.

A Boston surgeon of national repu-
tation was spending a few weeks In
little hamlet in the north Of Massa-
chusetts. 1t was before the days Of
rural free delivery. and the trip to the
post office was one of the excitements
of the day. Many of the inhabitants
exchanged their daily gossip while
waiting for the mail. The doctor now
delights to repeat the following pleas
ant chat which he overheard:
You live over at the Four Corners,
Bill. What kind of Teller is the new
constable? I've heard he was meaner
than potato bug"
"Well, l don't know as you'd call
him mean, but he is little mite pru-

deliberation, "he amt quite so mean
as Jabez. Now, fer instance, Friday
he had to serve an attachment fer tho
new carpenter on Mrs. Bowles, who
wouldn't pay the carpenter for build

there he found she didn't have any
thing he could attach except the hens.
So he had to get them all together,
somehow, and he chased each one
around the house about forty times be-
fore he catched 'em. l guess he was
at it nearly half the morning. You
know he'd driven three miles to get
there, and the law allows so many
cents per mile he has to travel.
