from the binding edge of this cover,

the strip so its edges will lap over

SEED CORN WEEK

and I admonish and urge farmers to give,
during that week, careful attention to
their seed corn supply for the spring
planting. This proclamation is issued to
remind those interested of the seriousness
of the condition, and to lame a particular
time during which attention throughout
the state may be centered on he question.
l am reliably informed that in many in
stances the seed corn supply secured and
supposed to be good is proving on xam-
iuation to be valueless. This is true to
such an extent that there is grave danger
that many people will be seriously disap~
pointed in their 1916 crop, unless every
precaution is taken to make sure that the
seed planted is of good quality. j trust
that during the week named the seed
corn supply may be carefully examined
and tested, and prompt measures taken to
secure the seed needed of the very best
quality. In this connection it is well to
remember that other things being any
where near equal, home grown seed, seed
grown in the near locality, is much better
and safer to plant than that imported from
elsewhere.
/ especially ask and urge seed men and
reed houses to make very sure that the
corn they offer for sale to the farmers for
seed be Of perfect terminating quality
ans suitable for the locality where it is
sold. | venture to express the hope that
Ill those interested, indirectly as well as
directly, in a first class corn crop for 1916,
will lend encouragement and aid in his
important matter.

So Busy They Want to Put an End to

Jetfersonville. Ind.-Some of the six
Justices of the peace OF Je~lfersonville,
who fight among themselves for mar
riage couples" are proposing a combi-
nation whereby all six would establish
central marrying parlors and would
pool and divide equally all their earn
ings.
The chief benefit would be the elm
nation of the runners" with whom
the justices of the peace now split
their fees, which only in exceptional
cases amount to more than So. One
result Of the competition has been the
cutting of fees. Many clipping couples
get married for 81 and some for six
bits" Secret weddings generally cost
the clippers a little more. and a twenty
five dollar fee shows up once in awhile.

ONE CROP PAID FOR FARM.
Western Kansas Farmer Traded a Calf
For Wheat Pasture.

Western Kansas Farmer Traded a Calf
For Wheat Pasture.
Atchison. Kan.-Albert Armstrong of
this city, who has just returned from
a trip to Lane county, says the farm
ers out there are worrying about what
TO do with their money instead of wor-
rying how to get along for lack of it.
Western Kansas farmers. according
to Armstrong, have had a prosperous
year. Last spring one Lane county
farmer traded a heifer for II piece or
volunteer wheat for the purpose of
pasturing his cattle en- it.
The wheat did so well he decided to
let it grow and harvested it. And
he harvested 1900 bushels of wheat.
which will be sold for $1,000. Anoth-
or farmer bought a half section OF
land for So an acre, and the years
crop paid for the land.
