rate it should be tested. A good deal
of seed was saved in 1915. This should
also be tested. The seed corn select
ed in the fall Of 1915, in most cases
contained a good deal of moisture,
making it more difficult to cure than
usual. Even il the termination of the
1915 corn is not good at least some OF
it should be planted so as to secure
seed from it. Every one ought to Sc
cure some seed corn for the next year.
It homegrown seed corn is not to be
had, secure corn from as near home
as possible. But in any event keep up
the corn acreage.
Corn is necessary for cleaning up
the land, for putting it in shape for
growing a better crop Of grain the next
year. There is so much blowing to be
done this spring that it cannot all be
done in time to SOW the grain early
enough to insure the best crop. This
will mean more land for corn or sum-
mer following. And of these two corn
is preferable, as it will produce a crop
and at the same time put the soil in
shape for as good crop as the sum-
mer fallOw.
Test the corn and keep up or, better
vet, increase the corn acreage.-North

THE PRESENT CRISIS

TIE PRESENT CRISIS
Once to every man and nation comes
the moment to decide,
In the strife of Truth with Falsehood,
for the good or evil side;
Some great cause, Gods new Messiah,
offering each the bloom or light,
Parts the goats upon the left hand,
and the sheep upon the right,
And the choice goes by forever 'twixt
that darkness and that light.
