English over THE

LONDON, Oct. 23-The English
language must be used over the tele

government is merely following
rule long enforced in the other bellig-
erent countries. England is still full
OF Belgian refugees, of whom only the
children and youths have learned to
speak English and in the South dis
trlct OF London, French is still the
language commonly heard on the
streets. The new rule is expected to
cut down the telephone receipts in the
foreign colonies, but the increase from
TOUR to six cents a call will add i'm
inensely to the postoffice revenues in
the long run The telephone system is

ALL AMERICAN REPUBLICS WILL MEET I'M
WASHINGTON FOR LARGEST CONGRESS
OF NATIONS EVER HELD IN THE STATES
196AH
in the Approaching Meeting

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 23.-An-
nouncement was made today that the
preliminary arrangements are COM
pleted for the largest and most com
prehensive international conference
which has ever been held in the United
States. From December 81, 1915, to
January 8, 1916, for a period of two
weeks, there will meet in Washington,
ID. c., the Second Pan-American Scien
tific Congress in which all of the Amer
lean republics will participate, and
for which preparations have been 60
ing on for nearly two years.
According to the official reports from
each of the governments now in the
hands of Director General John Bar
rett, of the Pan-American union, who
is secretary-general of the congress,
each one of the twenty-one American
republics will appoint delegations COM
posed of its leading educators, econo-
nists, engineers, international law
gers, and experts on mining, agricul'
ture, health, transportation and fl
nanse. From present indications, il
is estimated that there will be in at
tendance over one hundred and fifty
af the most representative men of Cen
t,al and South America, or more thar
have ever participated in any other in

ternational conference held in Ameri
ca. From the United States, aside from
its official delegation, there will be
present over six hundred special repre-
sentatives from it's universities, col
leges and scientific societies and or
CARNATIONS.
Already the Latin-American, coun-
tries are manifesting extraordinary in
terest in the program while more at
tention is being given it by the scien-
fists of America than they have ever
shown in any other international meet
irg. 1t, therefore, bids fair to attract
worldwide attention and to mark a
new era in Pan-American scientific
progress.
1t will be signilazed by an effort to
promote closer relations among the
American republics along intellectual
and educational lines, rather than on
material and political lines. In the
same way that regular International
Conferences of the American Republics
have developed closer political ties, and
the recent Pan-American Financial
Conference helped to promote better
finarcial understanding, so correspond
ingly this congress will bring the
Americas more intimately together up

Purdue Experts Warn Farm
ers to Take Extra Precau-
tions in Buying Extra
Quality Seed.
Seed From Own Farm Ought
to Be Thoroughly Tested
Moreover to Determine
termination.

THE question Of seed wheat for
Indiana farmers is serous one and
deserves careful consideration" says
Prof. M. L. Fisher of Purdue univer.
sity. The unusually wet season this
has left the seed wheat proposition in
q very serious condition Very few
farmers were able to thresh before
the wet weather began. The result
was that much of the wheat sprouted
In the shock. Observation at the va
rious elevators throughout the the
state shows that the wheat being put
on the market Is of very low grade,
much of 1t grading not better than No.
1, and much Of 1t grading as sample.
while the majority of the farmers
will have to SOW what they have. yet
great deal can be done to improve
the quality of the seed. First of all
the seed should be thoroughly clean
ed with the tanning mill. Not only
should it be thoroughly cleaned, but
1t should be carefully screened.
.. Medium Sized Best.
"Au Of the sprouted grain and 9th
ers which did not sprout but swelled
up, can be either famed out or screen
ed out. The medium sized grains
which have not swollen from being
wet in the shock will make the best
seed. In fact it will be better to SOW
the small plump grains rather than
the large grains. Two or three times
through the tanning mill with atten-
ton given to the screens will SO
greatly improve the quality OF the
wheat that 1t can be sown with as.
surance Of success.
In many cases the grain may have
heated after 1t was threshed, due to
the fact that 1t was put in the bin or
In a large heap when 1t was too damp.
Such heating has destroyed the ger
minating quality Of the grain. Where
the grain has been heated 1t will be
we'll to make termination test to see
what the terminating quality of the
grain is.
This termination test can be very
easily made by counting out three one
dred-grain lots and sowing them In a
box or In the garden. or they can be
germinated on plates between folds
OF damp cloth. Three lots should be
used in order to have a careful check
on the results. After the wheat has
come up or sprouted, counts should be
made to see what per cent. of germin-
alton has taken place. II less than 80
per cent. terminates, the amount OF
seed sown per acre should be increas-
ed over the usual rate or else new
seed obtained"
