BEWARE OF moLDv SEED CORN.
Discovery Of Many Nodded Ears at
Corn Show Stimulates Caution
Testing Only Safe Way.


Testing the corn is the only safe
way OF detecting mold, which at pres

present in more corn than is suspect
ed" says P. c. Taft OF the extension
department OF Iowa State college. who
acted as one of the judges at the East
Des Moines corn show.
I'VE found surprisingly large
amount Of moldy corn at the show.
says Mr.. Taft. Many ears that felt
dry and appeared perfectly good from
the outside were found to have mold
at the tip of the kernels.
"While this mold may not have any
direct effect on the germs before
spring, as soon as the kernels arc
planted the mold will develop and de
stroy the sprouts. In many cases
where only one OF the moldy kernels
goes into the hill with two or more
healthy ones, all the sprouts will be
attacked and destroyed. Testing the
corn is the only safe method of de
tecting the mold

experiments. In the field experiments

AN EXPORT DUTY?

What's the constitution among
friends?" This was Congressman Tim
Campbell's demand OF President Grow.
er Cleveland; and it evidently re.
mains as sound democratic doctrine to
this day. For now We have the prop.
osition advanced seriously in high
democratic quarters that the straiten-
cd treasury shall be relieved by spe-
cial war revenue tax directed against
the manufactured war munitions the
country is producing in such large
quantities.
In effect this is an export duty such
as the constitution forbids. Yet among
the arguments advanced in support
OF it is that the tax would be easy to
collect because shipments Of NUM-.
lions would be cleared at customs
ports and would be recorded, In addi-
ton, in ships papers.
The devices which the administers
ton contemplates using to hide the
disasters which its policies have
brought to the treasury are numerous
and Ingenious; and the legislation al.
ready enacted to secure relief is
scarcely less 80. But thus far the con.
stitution has not been violated to make
political capital for bankrupt politi.
cal party. We doubt if it ever will be.

IN 1916.

The democratic national committee
is without u secretary and a conSid-
cradle number of Its members want
to discharge the chairman. But the
committee does not lack humorist.
He is the gentleman who composed
the official comment OF the committee
on this years election results. They
mean merely. said this document. That
the progressives and the republicans
are reunited. Nothing more is needed
to assure republican victory in 1916.
Wilson received the electoral vote of
forty-one states in 1912 and had 436
votes in the electoral college. He had
q majority support in only fourteen
states with 152 electoral votes. In
the other thirty-four states the com
bined republican and progressive
strength far outnumbered the democ-
racy, and Wilson won by a plurality.
The reunion OF the progressives and
republicans in 1916 is made certain
by the elections Of 1914 and 1915. and
means that Wilson will have his four

Two Miles OF
CONCRETE ROAD
Very Probable That Crawford County
Will Have Two Miles Of Con.
crete Road Within the Year
CHARTER OAK TIMES FAvoRs If
Lincoln Highway to Eventually Be
Paved From Coast to Coast
These Two Miles Part.

1t is very probable that Crawford
county is to have two miles Of con.
crete paved roads within the next
year. Tho Lincoln Highway associa-
ton offers to give the cement for the
two Seeding miles," and the people
of Denison have taken up the project
with q will that means a finish in fine
shape. The Lincoln highway is to be
q paved road, eventually, from coast
to coast, and these two miles are Il
part of the beginning in Iowa. The
two miles will no doubt be located
near Denison, as that is the largest
town i'll the county, and, too, it is
through the efforts OF Denison bust
ness men that the paving is being ar.
ranged. The roads should be near
Deniscn. Furthermore, Denison will
no doubt be the first town in the coun-
ty to lay pavement, and it is fitting
that the county paving should work
out from city paying.
The cost of hauling. laying the &C.
ment. supplying gravel and all those
must be met by local interests, and
the farmers along the highway are eX-
pressing their willingness TO help with
the hauling as their part OF the dona-
ton. Well they may. for on the paved
road they can haul more stuff to the
load. and it will reach the market in
better condition.
One thing the commission wants to
beware of. and that is that the miles
paved are already to the permanent
grade and are sufficiently drained to
ha free from washing in the cutters.
When the concrete is laid 1t should be
put there to stay.-Charter Oak Times

Method of Calculating Wall Paper

For the housewife about to paper
her house. the following information
may be helpful in calculating the
amount of paper that will be needed:
Multiply the distance around the room
by the height Of the walls. Divide this
product by so for figured paper and by
SO for plain paper. Subtract 20 square
feet for every ordinary door or Win,
dow or so TO 30 square feet for large
openings. To find the amount OF pa
per needed for the ceiling, multiply
the length OF the room by the width
and divide by 80.

STORING FARM MACHINERY.

One Now 10 Advice Given.

TOO many farmers delay building q
house for storing farm machinery an
til they feel they can afford to erect an
expensive clay block structure. This
is a mistake" says M. F. p. Costelloe
OF the agricultural engineering DEPART
ment OF Iowa State college. They
lose many times the cost OF farm

whereas, il they built light frame
buildings in which wood, roofing pa

Machinery well housed and cared
for will render almost double the serv.
ice that neglected equipment will
give, saws Mr.. Costelloe. Housing will
repay it's cost many times, for ma
