MACHINE FOR CLEANING WHEAT
SEED OF SMUT

1t is expected that a big increase
will be brought about in the wheat
yield of Montana and the Dakotas
through the use Of seed-treating ma
chimes now being introduced and de-
signed to prevent the development of
smut in the growing grain. Smut is
the wheat growers greatest handicap
and sometimes results in the loss Of
from so to IS per cent of crop. There
is only one known way of preventing
damage from this cause and that is by
giving the seeds bath in formalde-
hyde before sowing. This was former
ly done laboriously by hand if at all.
The new machine does the work rap
idly and thoroughly. It consists es-
sentially of cylindrical screen that
hangs in a tank filled with Tornado
hyde. With the screen filed with
wheat it is rocked back and forth by
handle until every grain has been
thoroughly washed in the liquid A
ricture Of the machine appears in the
June Popular Mechanics Magazine.

RUSS|A'S GAL|C|AN
CAMPAIGN FAILURE
BRITISH CORRESPONDENT RE.
PORT SLAVS RETREAT ALONG
200 MILE FRONT.
CARPATHIAN GAINS OFFSET
Statement Says Austrians and Ger
mans Have Won no Decisive VIC
tory but Admits Russian Re-
verses Are Serious.

London, May 20.-Russia's whole
Galacian campaign has collapsed &C.
cording to dispatches reaching here
from Petrograd. The news has caused
q feeling of pessimism in the British
capital.
British correspondents at Petrograd
who heretofore have been willing to
concede little to the Austrians and
Germans, admit that the Russians have
been forced to retreat in Galacia along
200-mile line. The statement is made
that the Germans and Austrians have
not thus far won victory of decisive
strategic significance, and that their
losses have been enormous, but it is
conceded that the defeat of the Slavs
has reached serious proportions.
Situation Grave.
Never since the war began has any
one day brought so grave bulletin as
that just received says the Petro:
grad correspondent Of the Post. ION
this occasion for the first time since
hostilities opened I failed to find any
indications that suggest a promising
set off to what, on its face, seems
something like collapse of the Rus
sian forces. Over a front extending
some 200 miles the Germans have
caused the Russians to retreat.
after the experiences of the last
few months this seems incredible, and
almost compels the belief that the best
part of the truth about the entire situa-
ton remains hidden.
1.-The official organ conveys the i'm
preston that what the Russians have
done is only to succeed in escaping an
Inhalation by the series of more or less
mastery movements to the rear 1t
is admitted that the German plan of
compelling the abandonment of an in.
vasion of Hungary by fierce on
slaught from Cracow has been sue
cessful."

Some neutral nations also have

Causes for Italy's Stand

London, May 20.-Italy's expected
entrance into the war against her
former partners in the triple alliance
may be attributed to two causes:
1.-The popular hatred of Austria

1.-The fact that an Austro- German

WHY I AM PROUD OF MINNEs0-
TA-'sPOULTRY'

Minnesota should petition Uncle
Sam to put the hen on the nickle in
place of the buffalo and the Indian
head.
In 1900 it was reported by the
Minnesota Agricultural College that
the value of poultry and poultry pro-
duets in Minnesota was 100000. We
all gasped.
A year ago, as result of a Joint
investigation by the State 1Agricul-
tural College and the St. Paul Union
Stockyards Co., it was found that the
stupendous sum Of $34,0OO,OOO had
been reached. It is still growing.
Nor must it be forgotten, says H. A.
Nourse, poultry judge at the Minneso-
ia State Fair, Sept. to IL, that this
$34 100000 only included the market
value Of poultry and poultry products
for food purposes. Hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars should have been add
ed to cover the actual selling value of
eggs for Matching and fowls for breed
ing and exhibition. Lots of Minnesota
eggs for Matching have sold for $40 or
more setting this year, and many
fancy fowls have brought from $40 to
800 a bird.
The growth of the industry proves
its proftableness. Eggs pay more
than the grocery bill on many farms
in Minnesota, while city focks add to
thousands Of wage incomes. Still the
United States does not supply all it's
home demand for eggs. Eggs are i'm
ported from China, Japan, New Zea-
land, Austria, Canada and Mexico.

SITUATION IS MORE SERIOUS
Administration Presents Optimistic
Front, But There is Nothing to
Justify it-Action Towards
Allies is Delayed. ::

Washington, May 20.-Germany will
not abandon her submarine policy, and
her reply will be unsatisfactory to the
United States. This outcome of the
international situation continues to be
presaged by the unofficial advices to
Washington. Additional evidence Of
this intention is given by the torpe-
doing of the British steamer Dumcree.
The administration is presenting an
optimistic front, but there is nothing
to justify it, and the situation appears
more serious at present than it has
been since the President dispatched
the American note to Germany.
Note to Allies Delayed.
Washington, May 20.-President-W Will
son will await a reply from Germany
to the recent American note before
making further representations to the.
allies on alleged violations of inter-
iatiqnal lay in their commercial en-
barge on Germany.
This was made clear in official quar-
ters where It was explained that data
concerning detentions of American
cargoes had not yet been completed
and that moreover the notes under
preparation would not be sent now in
any event because of an unwiilingness
on the part of the President to have
the situation with Germany compli-
Gated by the American governments

To Safeguard All Rights.
It is understood to be the Presi-
dents position that the case of the
United States as set forth in it's note
to Germany should be disposed of ir-
respective of any note with regard to-
the allies. The belief is prevailing in
some quarters that representations to-
the allies might influence the charac-
ter of the German reply, is not shared,
1t is said, by the President, who is.
understood to hold that the German
government naturally should have
confidence that the United States
would do it's utmost to safeguard it's
rights in all cases.
The controversy between the Unit
Cd States and Germany, it was point
ed out, involves the safety of the lives
Of American citizens at sea and ne
cessitates prompt understanding.
Questions of property such as are:
raised by the issues over contraband
rs between the United States and
Great Britain require more time to-
collect data and no lives are eudan-
gered by any delays.
Action Toward Allies Awaited.
The fact that the United States is:
preparing to make what are described
in some quarters as vigorous repre-
sensations to the allies on the subject
Of contraband, already has had a no.
ticeable effect in Austro-G German cir.
cles here, where the action of the
United States is awaited with keen
interest.

PER CAPITA WEALTH $1,965.
Total for the United States ts $751;
739, 100000, Reports Director Of
the Census Rogers.

:. Washington, May 20.-Director Of
the Census, Sam l.. Rogers report
ed the wealth of the United States
to be $1S7,739. 100000. This means
1866 for every man, woman and
child in the country. The estimate is
made for the year 1912.
In less than two-thirds of century
from 1850 to 1912-the total wealth
of the nation, excluding tax exempt
real estate, increased from $7,136, 000.-
900, or $30S per capita, to $175,426.-
100000, or $1,s36 per capita, the per-
centages of increase being 1888 for
the total and 1876 for the per capita
amounts. In other words, the wealth
of the nation as whole is nearly
twenty-five times as great as it was in
1850, while that of the individual is
about six times as great.
The tax exempt real estate was esti-
mated OF $12,314 100000, or 1929 per
capita in 1912.
The total wealth of New York, $685.
OIL 100000, is the greatest shown for
any state, while Illinois and Pennsyl-
vania, with $15,4S4,000,000 and $751;
45S,0O0,C00 respectively, are close RI
walls for second place. Other states
which rank high in total wealth, are:
Ohio, with $S,sos, 100000; California,
$S,464, 100000; Iowa, $7,S6S,0O0,0
Texas, $6,S60,000,0O0; Massachusetts,
