TREES IN BOOKS.
Probably the Most Curious Collection
Of Volumes In the World.


There is perhaps one OF the most
curious collections Of books I'm the
world to be :Sund I'm a small town on
the continent OF Europe, says the Lon
don Tit-Bi II Is really a botanical
collection. Outwardly each volume pre-
sents the appearance Of a block OF
wood, and that Is what 1t actually Is.
But an examination reveals the fact
that Il is also a complete history OF
the particular tree which II represents
At the back of the book the barb
has been removed from a space which
allows the scientific and the common
name of the tree to be placed as afnue
for the book. One side Is formed from
the split wood Of the tree, showing Its
grain and natural fracture. The other
side shows the wood when worked
smooth and vanished. One end shows
the grain as left by the saw and the
other the finely polished wood. On
opening the book It is found to con.
tain the fruit, seeds. leaves and Other
products Of the tree. the moss which
usually grows upon its trunk and the
insects which feed upon the different
parts Of the tree. These are supple
mented by full description OF the
tree. In fact. everything which has q
bearing upon that particular tree So
cures q place In the collection.

WATCH THE SEED CORN

Commissioner Barney warns farmers
that much seed corn is being offered
for sale that is below the requirements
of good seed. He asserts that grain
operators are buying up the 1914 crop
and selling it for seed without testing
its terminating powers.
Assuming that Mr.. Barney is in pos
session of the facts this is warning
that corn growers should paste in their
hats. If the propaganda which began
with Holden and has been carried OF
constantly by the agricultural college
in Iowa has not taught the primary
been a failure. Next years crop Of
corn depends upon the character Of the
seed TO he planted next spring. No one
should buy seed corn except that it
has been thoroughly tested or plant
his own corn without carefully testing
it.
1t will be too late to correct mis-
take or a swindle in seed corn when
it becomes evident in the field The
time for caution is at the beginning.

The main drawback in Iowa is tina:
Iowa is not living up to the soil OPP
portunity. Owners leave the farms to
tenants on short leases and seeking to
get the most possible out Of the tenant
leave him to get the most out of the
soil regardless of the future. The lack
is in soil conservation.
Note the difference between the
community where the owners live on
the land and that which is turned over
mainly to short lease tenants 1t is and
naturally so the difference between the
farm which is being skinned by the
the cash renter and the greedy land

Iowa farms are losing what it will re-
quire many years to regain If it Is
ever regained.
1t is asserted that Iowa loses more
of its young men than any other state
in the union to other states and Sec
tons. That is probably true. She is
training school for farmers. We make
them and other less favored sections
profit by them. 1t is pure waste. We
should keep them here and can keep
them if the land owners were wise
enough to take them into the firm as Il
corporation CLEANS from the best Of !ts
force to renew its managerial strength.
Iowa land owners should not let one
trained and capable young Iowa farmer
get away. They need him and he
needs the opportunity. That is what
he goes seeking afar.

is the best farming state in the world
We must keep il SO.

KEEPING OUT OF HARMS WAY.

An American citizen has an abstract
right to go where he pleases on the
face of the earth under the flag which
should protect him.
He has also the same right to pass

United States about his business and
to claim protection to life and limb
and property.

A large number of thoughtful and

Economics are teaching the church

the vision Of world OF peace and

waste human labor in frivolous amuse-

furious consumption. Short of the
winnings Of roulette some American
business men seem to think one dollar
is as good looking and respectable as
