investigation Shows Value of
Seed Bed Care and of
Cultivation.

A deep, well-prepared seed bed is
essential Lor aerauon. proper root

moisture. Investigations at the Ilh-
nois experiment showed recently
that in the case of corn, such a
seed bed gave a gain of las bushels

The same investigation showed,
further. that killing weeds is the
most important factor in cultivating
corn on brown silt loan. No weeds
gave an increase Of 1876 bushels Of
corn. a gain of $3.50 per acre.
Weeds reduce the yield Of corn
more by robbing it of plant food and
light than by depriving 1t of mois-
ture. Irrigation on a weed plot gave
an increase of only IS bushels.
As an average of 10 tests in eight
years. killing weeds without Guilt
yation produced gain Of III per
cent, or 6.7 bushels per acre, over
ordinary cultivation.
Three-fourths of the corn roots
are in the plowed soil. and as plants
develop no unnecessary roots, any
injury 10 them results in a lower
yield. Four-inch pruning six inches
from the hill reduced the yield 1863
bushels
The cultivated soil, especially in
periods of drouth, is too loose and
dry for proper root IrvelOpment,
consequently the plant is deprived Of
the food which it contains.
After the roots are well distrib-
uted through the soil. little moisture
can escape, even from uncultivated
land.
The proper type of cultivation is
deep enough to kill the weeds. but

ONLY FANS HATRED.

England, in executing the four men
who led the revolt against her power,
if judgment may be based upon the
precedent of the past, has committed
a grave error of government. Having
broken the revolt and proved its fulfill
ity there was no need for further
harshness. To have let them go free
would have profted the empire more
than 20 kill them. Instead their
deaths have burned into the Irish soul
a hatred of the monarchy that viii!
never heal. It has made them mar
tyrs, to rank with Emmett and O'COn-
nell and Wolfe Tone, and whenever
their names are spoken again there
will surge up red rage, none the less
consuming because it is impotent.

CONSUMPTION IN ENGLAND.

Great Britain, after more than a
year of indecision, Of backing and fill
ing, has at last determined to have
CONSUMPTION. 1t has at last recognized
the merit of "PrUssianism, the fallacy
and weakness of the volunteer plan
and the utter futility of the namby-
pamby dickering with public approval
in conducting a war of magnitude.
America has had soul-racking ex-
perience with the volunteer army plan,
and the nation was nearly on the rocks
when Lincoln's strength of purpose
compelled consCription. England to-
day is in exactly the same position
that America was in 1864, and would
be in greater jeopardy before this if
it was not for the protection afforded
by Russia and France.
Consumption has been fought in
England by the labor unions, who have
seen, or have thought they saw, in
compulsory military service a danger
threatening their centuries old battle
for industrial independence. 1t was
not that they opposed drafting men
for the army, but that they feared the
power Of the government would be
used to force the unions to permit the
employment of nonunion men and Wo-
men at work which heretofore has
been almost entirely in the hands of
the unions. 1t was against the over
supply Of nonunion labor after the
war that they fought.
CONSUMPTION will add to Great Brit
aims fighting forces only from 1000
to 100000 men. According to Pre-
mier Asquith the empire has, since
Aug !, 1914, furnished 100000 men
to the entente forces, so the men add
ed by draft will not materially
strengthen the lines, or indeed do
much more than fill the gaps. Con-
scription will, however, empower the
government 10 press into service for
munition manufacture men and Wo-
/ men not now available because of la
Dor union objection and also 10 COM
mandeer industrial plants for the same
purpose that have, under the vapid
volunteer plan, put private advantage
before patriotism.
Great Britain, in deciding finally
/ for conscripti0n. has done more to ad-
vance its cause in this war than in
building naVies and coercing COM
merce. 1t has done more for its fu-
ture welfare than with mothers pen
sions and pauper laws, more than
nnionism has accomplished or social
ism could DO. If it will learn more
Of "Prussianism and following it after
the war it may yet become the eff
Gent nation that Germany Is.

For two years the Stalwarts in Wis

control. The hungry have been fed
They have been truly grateful New
positions have been created and passed
out as favOrs. Salaries have been in

The old machine has been well oiled
and active. They were confident and
bold. Their great leader announced
to his fellow railroad managers that
he would bring to the national repub-
ltcan convention an "uninstructed del

his great position and wealth. Who
would say him nay?
This was the situation when Sena-

name, it was boldly claimed as their

man, former secretary Of state and
thrice candidate for the presidency,
thrilled an audience of 400 men at the
annual meeting Of the Moline After
Dinner club at the rooms of the Com
mercial club in that city, last evening
His subject was THE American Spir-
it, P" and the topic afforded the speaker
an opportunity to express his views
and convictions on the momentous
questions Of world interest of the day
Mr.. Bryan dwelt particularly on the
subject of preparedness, in which he
presented with convincing force, that
impressed even those who entertain
opinions different from his own, of the
folly Of the eXtravagant program pro-
posed by the military experts at the
instance, as Bryan claims, Of the mu-
milton trusts The former American
premier stated that President Wilson.
while favOring a stronger military arm
than the government now possesses,

cate the extremes to which the NUM-
tons manufacturers would commit
and bind the United States. Referring
briefly to his retirement from the cab
met he said he felt he could do his
president his party and his country
more good as private citizen than in
official capacity.
Mr.. Bryan charged that the cam
paign for military preparedness was
tostered and is being carried on in the
interests of two classes in the Uni
ted States, the professional army man
and the munitions trust. in which con-
nectiOn he raked the selfish interests

Jim and John Emerson. twin broth
ers, dressed alike as they looked alike.
They wore their boards alike, and their
voices were as nearly the same as two
yiollns. They were married ON the
same day and went to live In twin
houses in Atherton terrace. Every one
said that there was nothing unlike
about the brothers except their wives.
One day while they were lunching to-
gether at the Downtown club they con-
Guided to swap wives for dinner. Jim
was to go home to Johns house, pre-
tending to be John, and vice versa. The
pretense, II successful, was to last till
coffee was brought on, when John and
his brothers wife were to go into Jim's
and all have coffee together and laugh
over what had taken place.
When John Emerson. personating
Jim. went to Jim's house that after
noon shortly before the dinner hour
he received the connubial kiss from his
brothers wife. and, so far as he could
discover. she thought him her husband.
ANY letters?' he asked casually.
YES" she said. handing him one ad-
dressed in a feminine hand. while she
looked up into his face as he read the
superscription.
John was somewhat taken aback.
He did not know whether the epistle
was one his brother would wish his
wife to see or not. Giving 1t casual
glance. he put it in his coat pocket un-
opened and asked II the wife had spent
the day pleasantly.
Mrs. Jim did not ask when be had
pocketed a letter in which she was
deeply interested who was the writer,
for she had studied the handwriting
on the envelope and could not make
out that 1t belonged to any woman she
knew, but her replies to Johns re-
marks were not cordial, and 1t was evil
dent that there was something on her
mind. John endeavored to appear un-
concerned, but be was obliged to admit
that the letter incident had caused an
unfortunate turn in his and his broth
ers joke.
The more John tried to placate his
sister-in-Iaw the more implicated she
became. By the time the dessert came
on the table she was sitting bolt up
right in her chair looking very crusty.
Meanwhile her husband was dining
with his brothers wife. Jim, who
was an excellent business man. had
made money, while John, whose tastes
were artistic, had not. Mrs. John was
economical, and her principal business
was to keep her husband from spend.
ing more than his limited income war
ranted. 1t had occurred to Jim that
this occasion would be good one to
make his sister-fn-law a present. So
on his way to dinner he stopped at a
jewelers. and bought a brooch. for
which he paid $50. After receiving
i the homecoming kiss he drew the box
