WARNS FARMERS
q Test seed COTn--Assistant Secre-
Itary VrOOman Declares This To
BE Necessary PrecautiOn.

Washington, u. C.-Farmers who
take the advice of Carl Vrooman, the
assistant secretary of the United
States Department of Agriculture, will
test every ear Of corn this year be-
fore they plant it. The seed corn sit
Nation. Mr. Nrooman says, is probab-
~ more serious now than it has been
for years. On account of the late, cold
season and the heavy frosts in the
early part Of last October, very little
corn, especially in the northern half Of
the corn belt. ripened naturally and
at the time of the first hard frosts
much of it still contained a large
amount of moisture.
Testing seed corn is always a wise
precaution,' said Mr.. Vrooman, but
this year it is a necessary one. Every
farmer should test his seed this spring
by the individual ear test, No matter
how much confidence you have in the
man you buy seed from, make a test
and know for yourself that the seed is
good. If the seed is not good, you
can get some other that is.
"A number of seed men who have
ell constructed seed houses report
tat they find the early picked seed
SITS very satisfactory, but the seed
licked later, even if properly dried, is
very unsatisfactory. One test in north
eastern Nebraska showed 80 per cent
of the early field-plcked seed to be
good while only 6S per cent of the
crib selected seed terminated. In
many sections of northern Iowa and
Illinois the percentage of good seed is
much lower, even when the seed was
picked before frost and properly dried,
while seed picked from the wagon at
husking time, or from the crib is prac-
tically worthless as seed One reason
for this is that many farmers in this
section are raising corn of a very
large variety which requires a full
growing season, and this corn did not
ripen before the early frosts.
Under these circumstances, testing
each ear is simply good insurance
One ear of corn will produce about
five bushels-if all the grains grow
With corn at 60 cents bushel, plant
ing a dead ear or an ear that will pro-

HAD TO ABANDON EXPLORERS TO
THEIR FATE NEAR POLE.

Dunedin, n. T., April 5.-Famished
for news of the European war and
other events. members Of the Shackle.
ton Antarctic expedition arrived here
Sunday on the Aurora from Port
Chalmers after having been cut of
from communication with the world
for six months
at appears as though some people
believe we ran away from Sir Ernest
Shackleton and other members of his
party in danger, but that is not the
oase,' said Chief Engineer Stenhouse
of the Aurora. "As a matter of fact
the ship was badly buckled by the
pressure Of the ice while we were
locked in a foe for six weeks. We
were on the point of abandoning the
ship and sending q wireless for help
when we got clear. We had hoped to
be able to return and pick up the
members of the expedition left ashore,
out Niit W lllC 4Aui qua was NuO
great to permit this. We carried
enough anchors and hawsers to moor
a battleship, but the ropes snapped
like thread when the wind caught us.
The ship then started to drift"
Lakeman, the wireless operator OF
the Aurora, said the food ran short
and for time the members of the ex-
petition had to subsist on seal meat
and peguins.
THE flour and tobacco held out, but
we had to be very sparing of it" Lake
man continued.
Before the Aurora got into port
wireless inquiries were sent asking
for news. One of them said:
rs all well in the old country? We
have had no news for seventeen
months"
a reply was sent giving the latest
news of the war.
The tug Dunedin, which went out to
meet the Aurora, picked up the ex-
ploration ship 40 miles south of Otaz
Heads and towcd her to port.

Humboldt Rapidly
Filling With Water

A telegram from Wells, in Elko
county, states that the Humboldt
river at that point is on the rampage,
with many streams and creeks pour
ing into it to further swell the large
volume of water now running.
Since yesterday the river at this
point is reported to have raised about
a foot, but it will have to raise con-
siderably before OVERLOOKING its banks.
However, we are having a general
thaw and good-sized creeks are run
ming down each side of Bridge street,
and it might be said that the same
condition prevails on all the streets
in town that have the downhill grade.

abound In pithy statement. In anrithe-

long, but it was full of meat. The
challenges he flung out to the enemy
stirred the delegates to round after
round of applause. He called atten-
ton to the various remedial measures
which this administration has written
into law-frst. tariff law with an In
come tax embodied in 1t, lifting "one
hundred and twenty millions per an
mum of the tables and backs Of the
poor" He justified the income Tux
on the ground that ut is tax that

abound and prosperity smiles"
Republican prophecies have failed.
They told us that Democratic tariff
would produce panic even in time Of
peace; it has failed to produce q panic
even when the world Is at war.
Defends Currency Law.
His defense Of the currency law
was even more forceful than his de-
Tense Of tariff reform. Here. too. he
contrasted the old system with the
new. Under a Republican currency
law "a few men could create such 4
panic as the whole nation witnessed
in 1907" The new law preserves pros
perity and protects our financial inst1-
tutions with all the nations struggling
to secure gold. He emphasized the
fact that the Republican convention
lacked both the candor to indorse the
currency law and the courage to de-
nounce It.
He brought the convention to its
feet In his eloquent justification Of the
presidents Mexican policy. The fol.
lowing passage from his speech will
be widely used during the campaign,
combining. as it does, citation from a
Lincoln precedent with a powerful
word picture Of the condition that
would have followed Intervention. Il
reads:
