otehrs, guided by that love which is
inherent to motherhood, are working
early and late and denying themselves
Of many Of the comforts OF life, in
order to keep their children together
and in school as long as possible,
so as to give them a fair start in
life.
And yet not one Of these women
representing large property inter
est, and all of whom have the best
interests Of the community at heart,
have as much voice in public affairs,
except in school matters, as the var
lest loafer on the street. On cleo
ton days these women can exert no
direct influence on the result, but
men who never did an honest day s
work in their lives, can go to the
polls, and it is possible that their
votes win decide who shall occupy
our public offices, and also whether
a mortgage, in the form of bonds,
shall be placed upon every dollars
worth of property in the city, for
the payment of which the property OF
these women, in common with all o.
Their property, must be taxed.-Ste-
vens Point Daily Journal.
What is true of the city of Stevens
Point is largely true of every CITY in
the State. There are no good rea-
sons why the women should be de-
MED the right of suffrage. We are
in favor of their having the right of
suffrage and always have been. We
hope Wisconsin will give them jus
tice by voting them the right.

UNcLE SAM PROTECTS SEEDS.

The secretary Of agriculture of the
United States Is purchasing seed In
the open market to determine wheth-
er and how much adulteration is be-
ing practced by seed dealers. He has
a very simple way of correcting the
evil when found. The names of the
offending dealers can be obtained by
application to the department for
copies OF circular No. 80. Purchasers
of seed are asked to cooperate with
the department in detecting dealers in
bad seed. 1t is noticeable that the
name OF crooked dealer once pub
Iished seldom Is published again.

STRONG ARGUMENT
IN FAVOR OF
WOMAN SUFFRAGE

To the average person books of
statistics and city directories tho
very useful for the purposes for
which they are published, are not
regarded as very interesting reading.
However, those who look within
its covers can find in the Stevens
Point directory. recently published, a
strong argument in favor of woman
suffrage. The directory shows that
there are now living in this city S24
widows. Many Of these women own
their own homes; some of them are
numbered among our. large taxpayers

ONE KIND OF BARLEY.
(Rv Prof. 3. A. MooreN

(By Prof. r. A. Moore.)
The aim of the grower of select
barley is to get the entire community
in which he resides interested in
growing select barley instead of
scrub varieties. Thus seedsmen and
farmers can secure this improved seed
barley in limited or carload quantities
at reasonable increase over the reg
ular general market price of barley.
By pursuing this method of dissemina-
ton several select barley centers are
established in each township of the
barley growing counties where farmers
are able to secure the seed in large or
small quantities near at hand. Farm
ers throughout the state have quickly
availed themselves of the opportunity
of securing select seed barley from
the growers or seedsmen. Through
this rapid method of dissemination
the select barley is displacing the
common varieties until whole com
munities are now growing this one
breed of barley to the exclusion of
nearly all other varieties.

rye sown on his farm the first day of

is known as marsh land and shows
this remarkable growth of rye. When
Mr.. Kelly made this statement some
Of his friends, were willing to wager
that that could not be possible. But
when they found that Mr. Kelly was
willing TO back his statement with
money they knew he was in earnest.

CUT OUT SCRUB BARLEY.

There is money in inducing your
neighbors to join with you In growing
select barley instead Of ordinary
scrub and mixed varieties. It is really
no more work and will double your
profits. Seedsmen and farmers can
secure this improved seed barley from
you and you will soon be celebrated
as a barley center where farmers
from surrounding territory will be
able to secure the seed in quantities

MONEY IN BARLEY.
(By n. z. KFueqer.l

(By n. &. kFueger.l
Barley as a cash crop deserves care
full attention by progressive farmers,
If one variety of recognized value is
grown and care taken that varieties
be not mixed, the crop will be more
valuable on the market since the malt
gters desire a barley which will germ
mate at the same time. Investigations
show that the majority of maltsters
prefer the six-rowed bearded barley.
Barley may be grown in rotation
proftably and is one Of the best
nurse crops TO use in seeding cloVers
or grasses. Statistics for the entire
country show that barley is exceeded
only by corn. in average yield and
value per acre, and in digestible nu-
trfents, which represent It's feeding
value, 1t is also second only to corn

missed the first two trips and did
not commence operations until $50.
The damage was not serious simply
burning out two insuIations known
as brooklins. The storm kept the men
at the power house busy plugging in

SEED SUGGESTIONS.
(By Thomas Cooper.)

Good seed is essential to the best
yields of all farm crops. .5
Obtain the best seed from crop
grown on your own farm or In the
vicinity.
Select seed from small grains on the
basis of size and weight
A good tanning mill properly used
is the most practical way to select
good seed.
Tests and experiments have proven
that heavy, plump seed will increase
and improve crop yields.
Treat seed to prevent plant dis
ease.
Make a termination test of seed to
prevent planting seed that will not
grow.

WHY DON'T THEY7

''Why is this barley SO a bushel
while that over there is but So cents? ?"
asked a young lady at grain show
last fall
We'll, you see this is seed barley"
well, then, why don't they all
grow seed barley and nothing else?"
why don't they? Well-er-oh!"

HOME VARIETIES BEST.
fRY M. A. CarIatnn !

Not only should the seed be kept
free from mixture at threshing time
and well cleaned and graded, but It ia
usually advisable to use homegrown
iced II it is Of good quality. Intro
duced seed Ia better only when It rep
resents some new variety from a dis
trict better adapted for barley.

BARLEY SEED ADVICE,

If you think at any time that you
are not getting the seed which you

a sample of it to your state agricul-
turtst and he will tell you what you
have bought and how strong it will
grow.
