OF CRIMSON
CLOVER SEED JUMPS
European War Interferes
With Importation to the
United States.

Prices for imported crimson clover
and hairy vetch seed have recently
shown such a marked upward tend
ency that specialists fear that the cost
of these seed, of which Europe is the
chief source, will interfere with the
increasing use of these legumious
cover crops. In fact, it is feared that
the prices of the seed of these legumes
may go so high as to make it mad
visable to plant them this year.
Before the present European condi-
lions arose, crimson clover seed was
selling at from 81 to IS per bushel.
Up to August Is there was a scarcity
of this seed in the United States, ow-
ing to the fact that the receipts from
Europe were smaller than usual. The
prices then advanced to from $3.50 to
50 per bushel. Since that date impOr-
tations have continued to arrive, until
there is now more imported seed avail
able for fall seeding than there was in
this country year ago at this time.
This seed, according to the depart
ment of agriculture's information, was
all imported at approximately the
same price as that sold for 81 to $3.50
bushel in the early part of the sea-
son. The present price, therefore, is
regarded by the department as I'M
warranted, from the standpoint of the
supply and the import price of the
seed. Some dealers are continuing to
sell at the former price, but these are
exceptions.
If the present high price is main
tanned, the specialists are doubtful
whether crimson clover can be profit

Poultry Hints

How can we know a chicken of
high vitality" Or if you prefer, ex-
treTe vigor? Those developed know
the vigorous bird at a glance, although
there are many characteristics which
affect his decision.
In small chicks the ones that are
up and coming" from the minute the
shell is kicked off and which develop
steadily and uniformly both in growth
and feathering possess good vitality.
The vigorous chicken is slightly
built (for the breed), has a thick,
strong beak bullying bright eyes,
strong neck. feet, legs, and feel"
In the adult fowl extreme activity
and erect carriage are leading indica-
tons Of vigor. With these 60 strong
boned muscular feet and legs, the lat
ter being set we'll apart, tail carried
steadily with no twist or crook, beak
short and heavy, comb and wattles
we'll developed and bright crimson in
color.
High-vitality stock will mature
quicker and be ready for laying and
breeding considerably in advance of
the birds Of low vitality.
There is no end to the talk about
the necessity of vigor in poultry. and
there shouldn't be any let up on it
until everybody sees the point. The
trouble with mere talk is that 1t stops
short of figures to clinch the argu-
ment

FOLLOW RULES
TO PICK BEST
CORN FOR SEED.
Farmers Select Grain to Save
From Stalks to Govern
Characteristics of the Next
Crop.
By A. o. COBB.

With the coming of the first frosts
own seed corn will be turning his at
tention to the selection of the ears
that conform with his ideas of the best
type to raise. The majority of corn
growers are now agreed that the type
Of ear selected by the Indiana State
Corn Growers association is that best
adapted to the requirements of this
section of the corn belt. The selec
lion of this type has been based large
ly upon the results of comparisons of
this type with others, in respect to the
yield, feeding value and climatic
'daptability.
This type calls for an ear ten inches
long in this section Of the state, cylin-
drical in size, straight rows of grain,
roughly indented, we'll covered over
QUIT and tip and with circumference
three-fourths of it's length. The grains
should be uniform in size and shape,
six to the inch in the row, five-eighths
Of an inch long and five-sixteenths of
an inch wide.
Rules Not Theory.
While some of these points may
seem to be theoretical in value, such is
not the case. An ear that is ten inches
long, and has circumference three
fourths Of it's length, will mature in
this latitude: while a larger, soggy
ear, will retain moisture longer, and
be subject to early freezes. Even, uni
form grain means that there will be
room for more grain on the cob than
ii the grains were placed irregularly.
Deep indentation may be taken as an
Indication Of n1c.
ear is usually shallow grained. Large
dat grains take up too much space on
the cob and have too many open
spaces between them.
Most farmers now believe it to be a
good practice to select the seed corn
from the standing stalks before freez-
ing weather sets in In this way. some
',enton can be paid to the character
sites Of the stalks, and the heighth at
which the ear is borne. 1t does not re-
quire much time to go down the rows
with sack swung over one shoulder,
and gather the ears that have the indi-
cations of being suitable for seed pur-
poses.
Store in Dry Place.
The ears should be stored in some
Try well ventilated place. where there
Is a free circulation of air, until they
are thoroughly dried. The ears may
be laid on racks made for the purpose,
Or they may be hung in strings from
he rafters. where they will be secure
rom rats and mice. One local farme
uses baling wire. claiming that the
wire being rigid keeps the ears sepa-
rate. The ears should not be piled on
racks or granary floors, as they will
neat and the terminating power will
be lcssened.
After they are thoroughly dried, the
ears may be stored in boxes or sacks
rntil needed in the spring. Seed corn
cared for in this manner stands a
much better chance to cure thorough
ly. and will have much greater ger
minating power than grain exposed tc
fall rains and freezing weather.

One of the best ways to arrange this
is to declare an equal division of
profits. 1t takes capital to do this and
this fact may stand in the way of a
good many worthy men, but it is pos
sible to overcome this by letting the
farm owner furnish the capital needed
for the investment in livestock, and
machinery, and from his share in the
investment retain two thirds of the
money made.
Another good plan is for the farm
owner to furnish all the capital for the
original investment, and for the subse-
quent purchase of stock and equip
ment. The working partner, agrees
to pay the land owner at least six
per cent on his investment, and re-
ceives as his share anything that he
makes over six per cent. There are
plenty of men who are such poor farm
ers they can not get a return of six
per cent on money invested in farming
ventures. In selecting the farm part
ner as much or more care should be
exerted as in selecting partner for
any other business. There are good

The first step in successful cold
storage of apples has been found to
lie in the practice of such cultural,
spraying and pruning methods as in
sure production of sound, healthy, we'll
colored fruit, free from disease. AS
Stunning this as the first requisite, the
following factors have been found to
most influence the keeping quality of
the fruit, and furnish best conditions
for long storage:
1. Proper maturity at time of pick
ing.
2. Care in all handling operations
3. Prompt storage after picking.
4. A proper storage temperature
Careful and extensive investigations
have demonstrated that fruit picked at
full maturity can be held for a longer
period in storage, and is less affected
by scald and decay than that picked
when somewhat immature. Two i'm
portant commercial varieties, Rome
Beauty and Winesap, have been found
to be especially susceptible to scald
during storage, If picked prematurely
There is no doubt that several thou
sand dollars are lost to the industry
each year through the improper pick
ing Of these two varieties alone. The
results emphasize strongly that more
care and attention should be paid to
this detail of the harvesting opera
tions than is usually the case.

Competent Employees Hard to

OF late years the farm help ques-
ton has developed into great prob
lem. The high wages demanded by
expert help make it impossible for
many who need help to pay the price.
UnSkilled help is usually undesirable,
and high at any price. Too much care
cannot be taken in selecting the help
when there are young people in the
home. No man wishes to have his
children associating with men who
use foul language, use Intoxicating
liquor, and are generally undesira BILE
citizens. On the other hand a young
man of good habits, industrious and
sober, is desirable addition to the
home life.
Since it is a difficult matter to en-
p1Oy farm hands because of their
scarcity, and as a good many farmers
do not care to hire any help to board
and lodge in the home. the best ar
rangement in most cases is to look up
a good man with wife and children,
and form business partnership with
him. This is being done in numerous
cases and with satisfactory results.

to take a look into the cows mouth.

GovERNMENr-owNED SHIPS.
(Springfield Republican. J

The situation last week pointed SO
clearly to government purchase of a
number of steamships to break the
embargo on Americas export trade
that the announcement that this policy
has been adopted by the administra-
ton is less surprising than it may ap-
pear at first glance. 1t is a strong
and decisive lead the president has
given in this matter, and the country
will not hamper him with criticism.
The ships the government may buy
for the foreign trade need not surpass
in number the actual requirements of
American commerce.; and these re-
quirements can be estimated as time
goes by. 1t is to be understood, fur
| thermore, that the ownership of the
steamships by the government will
be temporary. AS soon as the war
ends, the ships will undoubtedly be
disposed of to private companies
The justification for government ac-
tivity in the shipping business at this
| time is a supreme emergency. The
government would buy a railroad on
land If necessary to the maintenance
Of the country's internal commerce;
there is an equally good reason why
at this time 1t should maintain trans
portation on the ocean. On similar
grounds the decision to put the gov
eminent into the insurance marine
business is to be commended. Private
shipping will be encouraged to take
to the high seas with the risk under
written by the United States govern
ment.
The question of interference with
American shipping by the belligerents
must be simplified by government pur-
chase and outright ownership. For
lthe government character of ships
bought, say, from the German COM
panies, and placed under the United
States flag, could not be questioned
by the powers now at war. If these
ships were to be transferred to pri-
vate owners in this country, it would
always be possible for a belligerent
to seize them on the high seas on the
ground that the change of ownership
was not bona fide. The United States
governments honor in making the
purchase in the completest and most
absolute form could not be disputed
by any prize court or even by any
naval officer of Great Britain, France
or Russia.

Asbury Park N. j., Aug. 26-Babies
from every nook and corner of the

There were nearly one thousand
good humored tots in the pageant
and they toddled contentedly in the
grand march while many thousands of
spectators, fascinated by the moving
panorama, looked on with sympathet-
ic eye. Many watched the parade
from the hotel piazzas and the roofs
of the cottages and buildings adjacent

that the throng of spectators was one
of the largest ever gathered in Asbury
