ROTATION LEASES.
National Crop Improvement Service.

National Crop Improvement SeryIcsl
There is nothing which endangers
America so much today as our very
much abused farm tenant system We
ought to have something in every
lease which will protect land and pro-
tect the people as well as posterity.
Year to year tenants who scratch a
little and move away, should be COM
PEELED to settle down and landlords
should be be compelled to make a
time rotation lease. 1t is easy to talk
about compelling this and compelling
that. but we mostly are very sloppy
people whose motto is "the easiest
way is the best"
If we let our soil run down, our
whole structure will fall. In order to
obtain larger yield of grain, this soil
must be fed. The colleges and expert
ment stations beyond the Mississippi
river are entirely too timid about
preaching soil conservation. In fact,
all of us are rather prone to tell our
audience what we think they would
rather hear.

BY-PRoDucr STOCK FEEDS.

National Crop Improvement servIee.l
A lot of well-meaning folks think
that Just because certain materials
are left-overs from the manufacture
Of food for humans, that it is waste"
and of no value for stock feed. Nothing
is further from the truth. In very
many cases, the so-called "offaP' left
after the manufacture of -four, malt
ing, corn products, breakfast foods.
etc., are the best of stock feeds, and
can be bought economically and fed to
bring a profit to the farmer The man
who turns up his nose at the thought
Of combining by-products with silage
and other low-priced meat producing
foods, is behind the times and usually
fails to show even interest on his mon
ey at the end of the year. Feeding
whole grain, whether it be corn,
wheat, rye or oats, is wasteful and is
robbing man of his rightful. preroga-
tive-that of taking that part of all
grain adapted to his needs. 1t is easy
to find out the protein content of any
article, or mixture, of stock feedstuffs
now on the market, and it is merely a
matter of the farmer figuring out the
worth of the foods on their nOurishing
power, and then to purchase that
which will give him the most econom-
zeal feed. In practically all states, all
feedstuffs must be labeled with their
food contention those who wish to
see, the facts are printed

INSURE YOUR CORN
Don't Gamble With Your Corn Crop.
Test Every Ear Before Planting.
Every Weak or Dead Ear Means
Dollars Less at Harvest.
National Crop Improvement sevIcs.l

National Crop Improvement serylesJ
1t is a known fact that the simple
little act of testing all seed corn be-
fore planting will add many bushels 10
the corn crop and will pay the farmer
about five times as much per hour for
his labor as will any other farm labor.
There is nothing hard about it, all
methods Of testing seed corn are easy
and inexpensive. You can test the kerr
nels in blotters or "rag-doP' testers
at home, making them yourself, OF
you can invest in a commercial test
er that will last for years. Your agr1-
cultural college, county agent, or the
q. s. Department Of Agriculture at
Washington will be glad to give you
full particulars.
Seed testing will stop one of these
leaks in farm practice that change
gain into loss. Figure out for yourself
how many hills the six or seven hun
dred kernels of corn from a dead or
weak ear will plant, and figure out
how your corn yield will drop if two or
three, or a dozen, or maybe fifty such
ears should get planted.

Tanning and Grading Seed Barley.

National Crop Improvement Service.l
Not nearly enough attention is given
to getting the uniform size of seed
grain, especially is this true in barley,
where it is important that the germ
nation should all take place on the
same day. Therefore, the kernels
should be of the same size and weight.
The very largest should perhaps be
removed as well as the smaller ones,
leaving the seed plump and uniform.
It is true that small seeds and giant
seeds will terminate, but the plant
food contained therein will undoubted-
" make an unevenness in the matur-
ity at harvest.

Catholic traitor, Earl Arundel
(See Lingard's History, p. 1917
In other words, religion, as a mode of
worship, IS one thing: as a form Of treason,
1t IS quite another.
Queen Mary punished Protestantiam be-
cause it was an offensive mode of worship:
Queen Elizabeth punished Catholicism, when
it became a form of treason.
Queen Mary murdered men, women. and
children, on question of foith: Queen Eliza
beths government arralgned men and tried
them, under the Acts of Parliamnt on a ques-
ton of p0t,iotisp.
Two 'ladies" of the nobility suffered for
treason, under Elizabeth, but no boys and no
babes were burnt, as under Mary
Lingard admits that only ~ of the Cath
Ollie laity were put to death under Eliza
beth, for treason, and that the number OF
priests legally convicted and executed under
the law, as traitors, was slXty-one.
(See Page 1919
In view of this precise statement of the
standard Catholic historian, what becomes
of the averment made in the textbook taught
in our Public Schoolsl
DR.. Lingard explicitly asserts that these Ct
priests were tried, convicted, and executed
under the treason-laws which forbade them to
bring into England, for enforcement, for
eig1s lar, ontag0niStjc to the lar Of the reolH
Can you not realize that an Englishman
can be good Catholic without ceasing to be
a patriot?
If the Catholic religion is inseparA>Ie from
treason. what makes it so?
Christ did not teach his Disciples that they
must set up laws within each country at var-
ance with the laws Of that country. He told
them just the contrary
Peter was most positive and explicit on the
same sub ect So were Paul and the Fathers.
Whence comes this popish doctrine, which
makes Catholicism and treason synonymous
Whence comes this mcnstrous idea that
portion of the laws, binding a portion of our
citizens, must be made III Italy and imported
into this country by such abominable traitors
as Bishop Ben Kelley of Savannah!
You will observe that, in showing the bra
zen falsehoods that are being taught in our
Public Schools -Atlanta and elsewhere-T
haze used exclusively THE STANDARD CATHOLIC
HISTORY.
Could anything be fairer?

tier victims were not accused of treason.
Nobody was stupid enough to charge
Bishops Latimer and Ridley, and Archbishop
Cranmer with treason.
No! They were charged with ''heresy."
They believed in Bible religion, and in
Book that common folks could read and they
scornfufly denied the absurdest of all doc
trines that ever triumphed over human rea-
son, -t,unSubSt0nti0tiOn.
They said that bread remained bread
whether Latin was talked to it, or not
They said that wine is wine, whether
topper drinks it in barroom, or a priest drinks
it in church.
And because these grey-haired old Chris
tains refused to debauch their common sense
with the pluperfect balderdash of tronsub-
sanitation, the frenzied Mary had them burnt
at the stake.
But how was it when Mary died, and Eliza
beth succeeded to power?
The Italian priest at Rome, ach0no English
Catholics regarded as G0d-0n-earth, put
premium upon treason and assassination, by
declaring that he deposed her, condemned her
to hell, and demanded that her subjects rise
against her!
What could she do in self-defense?
She did this She prevailed upon Parlia-
ment to require all Englishmen to take an
oath Of allegiance TO HER GOVERN o1ENT, dis
owning allegiance to any other sovereign.
In other words, she applied yard-stick to
measure the loyalty of the English people.
Not a word of those Acts of Parliament
attempts to coerce Catholics into becoming
0p0states.
All that the law required was that Cath
ollcs renounce the sovereignty of foreigner,
and swear allegiance to the Home govern
ment.
Those who refused to do so were traitors
under the law.
If the American Catholics are telling the
truth, n0w, when they say that they are in
nocent of ''divided allegiance" then they can
not defend those Catholics who refused to
take the oath of undivided allegiance to the
government of Queen Elizabeth
The Catholics under Elizabeth (the few
who were punished at ally were punished be-
cause they were not the true patriots that our
American Catholics pretend to be.
Another tremendous fact must be remem-
bered: no foreign "Invincible Armada" came
across the seas, in the interest of Professionals
to dethrone Queen Mary, butcher Catholics,
and put the realm again under the feet Of
foreign master, the Italian pope.
But when the Italian lmpOstOr had OIL
cially ordered the Catholics to dethrone Queen
Elizabeth an effort was made to enforce the
decree.
King Philip II. of Spain fitted out his Ar
mazda, which the pope deliberately blessed,
and supplied with priests, relics, charms anu
let's holy bones, and other popish trumpery.
For terrible space, Elizabeth was in
deadly peril from this pope-blessed and pope
sent invasion and it is no wonder that in the
midst of trials like this, the question of Cath
olic allegiance became one of paramount i'm
portance.
For instance, DR.. Lingard himself admits
that the Earl of Arundel was tried, convicted,
and punished, as traitor, because he had

"Elizabeth succeeded to the throne, on the
death OF her sister Mary, 1858. This was
Joyful event to the English people The pru-
during the sanguinary reign of her sister gave
promise Of excellence as a sovereign.
That which was promised, was, in great
measure fulfilled.
By her wise counsels the Protestant rel

ceived it's present form; and agriculture. COM
merce, arts, and literature attained to an

She colonized large portion of North
America, supported the infant republic of
Holland, humbled the pride of Spain, and
assisted Henry ". in the recovery of his
kingdom.
She sought the true interests and glory of
her subjects, so far as concerned their tenn
poral prosperity, OF their external religious
0bservances."
Not one word about religious prosecutions
Not one word about burning Catholics!
Yet, DR.. Robbins was no partisan of Eliza
beth, for he severely condemns her treatment
Ot Mary, Queen of Scots, and of Essex; also,
her bad temper, her hypocrisy, and her I'M
felenting disposition
He concludes his harsh arraignment of her
faults, by saying "The security and de-
fence of the English people were never placed
In ADLER hands,"
The Catholic historian of England is DR..
John Lingard and the Catholic firm of John
Murphy & Co., Baltimore, published an edi-
ton of his work, abridged by the Catholic
James Burke, with a Memoir by the Catholic
DR.. M. j. Kerney, in 1875.
DR. Lingard who died in 1849, was an emf
pent English scholar, and almost as fair a
Catholic as Lord Acton.
Even in this great History of Dr. Lingard,
it is frankly set forth, that Bloody Mary
earned her name by the most inhuman bar
barities perpetrated upon Protestants because
Of their religion; whereas, he is forced to
admit that the few Catholics who were put
TO death under Elizabeth, suffered after hav-
ing been tried and convicted for TREASON.
Dr. Lingard states (page 431, Bird revised
edition of the Abridgement) that-''In 1870,
d bull was prepared in which the pope pro-
nounced Elizabeth guilty of heresy, deprived
her of her pretended right to the crown of
England, and absolved her English subjects
from their allegiance"
Lingard states that this decree of foreign
potentate dethroning Elizabeth, and melting
the English to rebel against their Queen, was
SenC TO the OpanlSn AMBASSADOR IN London,
and a copy of it nailed up before the house of
the Episcopal bishop!
Is there any intelligent person who cannot
realize at once what situation the pope had
created, by his outrageous attempt to take
away the government of England from its
legitimate possessor?
Queen Mary had not been similarly en-
dangered.
No Protestant pope had menaced her crown
and life!
There was no Protestant pope to pronounce
sentence of despotism upon her, and to call

 Mayor Quigley stated this after noon that there is Q possibility that he will call a special council meeting next week to, grant a xspecAa} loan appropriation" for the.nd1esSarden committee and those who are operat- ing under it's provisions.
 If such meeting Is called. the mayor states, the appropriation to be asked will be sought as a loan to the garden committee to pay for blowing garden plots. The people using these plots would then have to pay their fair share back to the committee and the committee in turn would pay the borrowed money back to City Treas urer Chamberlain.
 The mayor, the garden committee and others are carefully considering the advisability of such a procedure.
