Every day the feeling of resent,
ment is growing against Governor
Willis and the republican legislature
for the steps taken to set back the
cause of agriculture in the mud and
place its future in the meanest kind
of PARTISAN politics. 1t is a matter
of odius comparison for the Willis
method, that when Cox was governor
steps were taken to unity all the in
terests in a way that saved more than
$4,000 to the state the first year,
and that party politics was eliminat-
ed in the formation of a supervising
board which did not add a single
office, but eliminated a dozen; now
the number of offices has been in
creased three-fold, there is no unity
of effort, dissention is threatened be-
tween the agricultural college and
the state experiment station; expense
is bound to increase, and party poll
tics abounds under the Willis law.
Under the Cox idea of Capitalization
and saving there were five commits
sioners, each of whom had already
been employed by the state in cO-or-
dinate capacity, and not a single one
of them sought the job to- which he
was appointed, or. had the endorse
ment of a political committee; under
the Willis decentralization idea there
are ten members of a main board and
five members of an advisory board,
adding ten new offices, and every man
who seeks appointment. is going, not
to the farmer, but to the ward heal
er for his endorsement. If referen-
dun should be brought on such a
plan, where is the man who will have
the temerity to defend the Willis pro-
gram?

THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT

Harper's Weekly is not given to
laudatory remarks upon the slight
est proyocation, and especially not
where President of the United
States is involved. So when we find
the paper seriously considering the
greatest achievement of Woodrow
Wilson, we may well sit down and
read it and ponder the statements.
So here is an editorial preachment
from the Weekly Of recent date which
it would do we'll to seriously consider
before the prejudice of partisanship
is allowed to dwarf the Judgement:
The greatest achievement of this
administration is not in the currency
act, monumental as that achievement
is, or in Mr.. McAdoo's emergency
measure to stop panic when the war
broke out. 1t is not in carrying out
at last the promise to lower the tar
iff. 1t is not in Panama repeal, or in
peace treaties 1t is not in keeping
us out of war with Mexico and con-
ducting ably our relations with the
European belligerents Magnificent
as that record is, there is something
greater, higher, more significant
ITO have a national administration
that is moved unsweryingly by prin-
ciples; that is distinguished, broad
and free in thought; that knows no
back door influence; that has never
once responded to the dollar, where
the dollar represented not the com
mon welfare but the threat of privi-
lege; that has assumed morals, al
truism, justice to be actually desired
by the American people; why, dear
friends, to have note like that
struck and held by the government is
infinitely more important to you than
any one issue, than any one question
of agreement or disagreement on this
question or on that 1t makes our
foundations safe. 1t gives nobility
to our nation 1t is a rebirth. When

CHICK FEEDING

1t is well to know that youne
chicks do not need solid food foi
from As to 60 hours after Matching
as their stomachs contain sufficient
food to supply their needs for that
time. Simply because the little
chicks peck around does not signify
that they are in need of something
to eat They should, however, be
supplied with plenty of fresh water
Keep the water supply pure by clean
ing out the pans or other containers
every day Grit in the form of sand,
or better still sharp granite grit and
fine oyster shell should be kept be-
fore them. The oyster shell supplies
bone making material, and the grit
aids the digestion.
One of the best feeds for little
chicks is dry bread or cracker crumbs
moistened with water or sour milk.
Rolled oats are also good, but their
continued use is not advised. Brood
er chicks have to be taught some
things that those reared in the natur-
al way learn from their mothers
Eating is one of these. The first
food given them should be light in
color so as to be easily seen. Hard
boiled eggs mixed with cracker or
bread crumbs are valuable first feeds
The Agricultural Extension Ser
vice of the Ohio State University, at
Columbus, will send detailed direc-
tions for chick feeding free on re-
uupst

Several years ago a split occurred
in the Church of Christ at Fort Re-
covery, which has an edifice on South
Wayne street, and the seeding fac
tion bought the old Lutheran church
on Broad street. The differences
arose over the use of instrumental
music, were adjusted in court, as far
as the property interests were con-
cerned. The seceders we're led by
Washington Snyder, George w. He'd

Entry blanks for this contest are be-
ing distributed by the county fair
board, through the school authorities.
Each boy who desires the handsome
badge and literature, should secure one
of these blanks, carefully enter his
name and address, and mail to Clark
S Wheeler, Ohio State University,
Columbus, Ohio. Should he not be
able to secure the entry blank from
his school teacher, he should send his
name and address to the above. He
will then receive the badge and bulle-
tins, which will greatly aid him in get

Price, republican, whose crime was
that he had been honored by Cover

Dean Price will resign the place he
made and has held for fourteen years
and of which he has made success.
The political domination and inter
ference will not have reached its
worst until not only is the agricul-
tural department ruined, but every
branch of the university deprecated,
As a result of the scandal which is
growing, parents are writing their
sons in the agricultural college to
close up their work, as they feel the
best results cannot be had from an
institution of learning where petty
politics is allowed to interfere with
matters of education as in the case Of
actions since Governor Willis assum-
ed office.
As the days pass and Dean Price is
denied the reason for the action tax
en- against him, the reason is being
supplied by others, Appearing first
that 1t is the jealousy of President
Thompson, whose desire is for all
things, great and small. il further is
shown that Governor Willis took ad-
vantage of that jealousy to secure
the automatic removal of the Dean
from the State agricultural commits
sion.
other things than the educational
facilities of the State are threatened,
and If the present tendency of the
state government and the Ohio State
University management is allowed to
continue, the farming interests of the
state will lose such support as is now
coming to the agricultural interests
from the federal government through
the agencies and economies fostered
by the preceding state administra-
tion.

KEEP THE WEEDS OUT OF CORN

The principal reasons for cultiyat-
ing corn during the early stages of
growth are to kill the weeds and con
serve moisture Weeds are undesir-
able in a corn field because they not
only use up the water that should be
left for the use of the corn. but they
also use up plant food. Therefore
one operation may serve to kill the
weeds, and also to establish an earth
mulch to prevent the evaporation of
water. If weeder or harrow is run
over the field on hot, sunshiny day,
before the corn plants are up, II will
establish the earth mulch and kill
the weeds that are just starting. The
weeder or harrow should be run over
the field frequently until the plants
are seven or eight inches high. These
implements should not be used early
in the morning or on cloudy days
since at this time the plant cells are
filled with water and the plants are
easily broken off.-Geo. Livingston.

NEXT YEARS SURE THING

Accepting the reasoning of the Re-
publicans a month ago when they
elected their candidate for mayor OF
Chicago by great majority, we must
conclude that the result of Tuesday's
election in Baltimore settles the pres
idential contest of 1916. The new
mayor of the Maryland city, Dem
ocrat, had an unprecedented majori-
ty of $1,000, and, like the mayor
elect of Chicago, he defeated a man
having a German name. In 1912
the two Republican parties polled
$4,000 votes in Baltimore and the
Democrats only $4,000.
Perhaps, as mere matter of form
and to keep the record straight, 1t
may be necessary to hold a national
election next year, but the signs of
the times, interpreted by lake-shore
logic, makes it plain that Mr. Wilson
is to have a second term practically
by unanimous consent. We are the
more inclined to this view after read
ing the thrilling news from Lincoln,
that Charley Bryan has
been chosen Mayor. Compared with
the thunders of Baltimore, Md, and
Nebraska, in May, how weak
and inconclusive are the rumblings
of Chicago, Illinois, in April!-New

The political interference with the
conduct of affairs at Ohio State Uni
yersity threatens the worst possible
results for the future of Ohio's great
educational institution. Especially
is this true of the agricultural de-
partment, where in collusion with
President Thompson, Governor Willis
appears to have reached through the
amendable board of trustees, to Sc
cure the demotion of Dean Homer C.

THE SOBER SECOND THOUGHT

AT no time probably since the Civil
War has an administration at Wash,
ington faced as delicate a problem in
international relations as comes now
upon the heels of the torpedoed Lus-
itiana II is a problem that concerns
each of us, Each Of us must con
tribute his share to its solution.
The sinking of the Lusitiana, un-
der the circumstances now familiar
to the world, was at once an offense
and an error. 1t offends the moral
sense of the civilized world that a
defenseless steamship, bearing hund-
reds of peaceful citizens with their
wives and children, should be fred
on and sunk without being offered an
opportunity to save her human car
go, even though the vessel carried
munitions of war.
1t was a mistake, from a German
tactical standpoint, because such an
act appeals more than it terrifes.
1t is likely to prove the most costly
triumph either side has scored since
the war began.
Enough time has now elapsed
since the disaster for neutral Ameri-
cans to view the incident in all its
aspects So for there has been man
ifested an admirable spirit if self-re-
straint. Whatever the United States
government may find it necessary to
do will be done with deliberation.
Here was an English ship flying
the English flag, carrying in large
part English subjects to an English
port--the German torpodoes were
not aimed at the flag of this republic.
Lamentable as the incident is, an af-
front to civilization and a violation
of traditional practice in civilized
warfare, only incidentally is it an af-
fair of the Unite Estates
Partisans there are in America
who will grasp this opportunity TO
peddIe their wares of hate and un-
rest. Relieved of all responsibility
in the premises. they preach reprisal
Deprecating one act of folly, they
openly hint the advisability of com
mitting new act of greater folly.
Let us think this matter over by
ourselves. Not in anger, but with
deliberation let us face whatever re-
sponsibility the Lustinia incident
puts upon us as a neutral people
The United States stands upon its
rights No patriot will either cover
or boast, 1t is no time to
parade our prowess or take counsel
of fear.
Remarkable at times has been the
self-possession of Americans under |
trying conditions resulting form this
ineXcusable war. We have pursued |
our neutral course in the face of
manifold temptations to turn aside
into the bypaths of belligerency
This new and more difficult trial of
our sincerity will find us no less self
contained.
As nation we are ready at any
hour for the duty that calls. The
immediate duty is to maintain sanity.

This picture is used on badge which
lS presented to boys entering the Boys
Live Stock Judging Contest.
According to a new plan to be fol.
lowed this year, the boys will receive
more help from the College of Agri-
culture than they ever have before.
Some time previous to the fair, and
usually before school closes, an in
structor will be sent into most Of the
counties to coach the boys in live stock
judging. AS soon as each boy sends in
his name and address, he will be sent
a handsome badge bearing the picture
of dairy COW. This badge will signify
that he is going to take part in the
contest. The boys will also receive
literature on live stock Judging, in the
form of bulletins which have been
especially prepared for him. These
bulletins will be followed by a set Of
questions which may be answered
from the bulletin. These questions
will be answered, sent into the college,
graded by an instructor, and again re-
turned to the boy. This training will
all come previous to the contest and
will greatly help to train the boys for
the judging. In order to be ready, the
boys who want to take part in the con-
test should send their names promptly.
An added feature Of the Boys Stock
Judging Contests for this season is
found in the fact that arrangements
have been made whereby the boys win
