MORTCAGED TO PAY
WAR COST

"The national debt of England,
France and Germany are now equal
to from one-tenth to one-sixth of the
total wealth of these nations, and the
interest charges on the debts are APP
preciable portions of the entire income
of the nations, declared President
C.. r. Van Hise of the university of
Wisconsin in an address at the con-
vention of the National ASSOCIATION of
Credit Men in Chicago last week. The
national debts of the three countries
at the end of 1915, according to his
figures are: United Kingdom $40, 49,
600, 900; Germany $7,275 200, 900, France
$1O.514, 900, 900. The annual interest
charge upon these debts is about as
follows: United Kingdom 1921, 900, 900;
Germany $364, OOO. OO0,; France

THERE'S MANY A REASON
WHY DAIRYING PROSPERS

Why is dairying popular with Wis
consin farmers?
There are many reasons but there
are ten given by George c. Humphrey
of the College of Agriculture.
"Q) 1t enables the dairyman to an
ticipate and receive neat and regular
Income from the sale of milk;
"(2) The sale of surplus young stock
and COWS, furnishes an income in adj
dition to the income for milk, that
adds to the profits materially;
"(3) 1t provides home market and
pays higher prices for farm crops than
are ordinarily paid at commercial CEN
ters;
80 1t utilities grass and various
kinds of feed that have no market
value except as they are converted into
milk or other saleable products:
"(5) 1t provides means of employ
ing labor regularly and proftably at
all seasons of the year;
"(6) It makes the farm permanently
productive by the utilization of feeds
on the farm and the use of farm
manures;
go The regular income from the
sale of dairy products and stock en-
ables the farmer to keep up permanent
improvements and to take pride in the
possession of farm home:
"(s) Dairying offers one great OPP
portunity for becoming a thorough
business manager and enjoying the
game of trying to make everything
pay.
500 1t produces human food for
which there is no substitute and for
which there will always be constant
demand and an opportunity to supply
at reasonable prices.
''QO) 1t offers most suitable en-
vironment for the development of
high standards of living both for a
family and community"
AS Wisconsin dates it's greatest pro-
gress IN dairying from about 1890,
when the Babcoek test was perfected,
the dairy school established, and the
state dairy and food commission Gre
ated, it Is highly fitting that its dairy
men should pause long enough to
take stock" and to pay measure of
tribute due some of the men who have
done much for the development of the
dairy industry in this an6 other states.

ties of upper Wisconsin grazing lands.
They were shown how IA good return
on their investment could be obtained
by stocking Wisconsin land with

TEST EVERY EAR"
CAMPAIGN STARTED

"Test every ear of corn intended for
planting.
Because of the rather unfavorable
conditions of the past season many
Wisconsin farmers are making this
their watchword for 1916.
1.-TWO tests must be given each ear
of corR-the eye test and the germi-
nation test" says George B Mortimer
of the field crops department, Univer-
sity of Wisconsin.
''First, by the eye test, one can pick
the best candidates for the termination
test. The general maturity and vitali-
ty of an ear can be told upon close in
spection-bu that is not enough. To
be certain, use the termination test
box or cloth roll tester.
EARS we'll filled out, kernels plump
and sound, not chaffy, and firmly all
tached to firm, we'll colored cob, are
signs of quality in corn. Ears with
kernels loose on the cob and weak in
color should be rejected at once with
out further testing. Cobs which are
damp and soft mean low vitality In the
corn.
after the best ears have been se-
lected by the sight test one is ready
for the final test-the termination box.
Six kernels taken from different rows
on the ear are usually sufficient for
the test, and the percentage of germi-
nation for each ear can be determined
in few days by this method, and all
doubt is removed.
at pays to be sure about seed CORN
test every ear before planting.
