Congress Probably Will
Give President Power

Washington, Feb. 27.-As congress
met today for what is expected to be
one of the most historical closing ses-
sions in its history it was believed Ger.
tain that the legislative branch would
ultimately uphold President Wilson's
hand in a modified form. There are
only five more days remaining for the
present congress to give the president
the powers he asked for yesterday.
Many legislative heads, including the
senate, do not agree altogether in his
course, but have pointed out that he
has had opposition before and has al.
ways got what he wanted. This plain
ly shows that congress does not like
President Wilson's request for instru-
mentalities other than guns, gunners
and money for insurance.
Washington, Feb. e. Minority
members of the house foreign affairs
committee baked today in two points
on the question of granting the presi-
dent the power that he. asked for yes
terday: First, the arming of NUM-
ton ships and, second, authorizing him
to use instrumentalities other than
guns, gunners and money. Food ships
they say could be armed. Some mem
bers objected that if American stands
against the German summarizing it is
bound to react in the future and will
render useless a valuable weapon for
the United States some time.

SEED WHEAT FOR 1917

Inquiries have come to the office Of
the county agent relative to the seed
situation for this sprint. There are
questions in the minds of farmers as
to whether they should plant the
shrunken wheat of 1916 or pay fancy
price for 1915 wheat, or send out Of
the state for plump 1916 wheat.
Each farmer will have to decide these
questions pretty much for himself.
There are few facts concerning
yields of wheat from plump versus
shrunken wheat which may aid farm
ers to make decision in this matter.
In the first place one should remem-
Der that the young wheat plantlet uses
the food stored in the seed to make
it's growth up to the place where it
has root system sufficient to gather
mineral plant food from the soil and
leaf surface enough to manufacture its
own food in the leaf. 1t is fair to sup
pose that that plantlet which comes
from plump seed will have the adj
vantage over the one which comes
from a shrunken kernel, since it will
have more food to use in growing be-.
fore it has to depend upon itself than
the plantlet from the shrunken kernel.
Results from the experiment sta.
tons given below would tend to prove
the above assumption. These stations
conducted these experiments through
a series Of years, and an average in
crease of yield of Al bushels was OBJ
tanned from the heavy kernels over
that Of the light kernels. Results of
experiments in Europe also give SINH
lar results. Some experiment stations
in this country have not found as big
difference in yields of light and
heavy seed
In the light of these results it would
seem advisable for farmers to secure
the best seed they can for planting.
If one does not have plump seed he
should by all means run his wheat
through the tanning mill couple of
times, thus separating the very best
seed he has for sowing. Even in the
poorest samples there are usually
some fairly plump kernels which can
be separated by careful tanning.
BY all means, all should plant the
very best seed of all the small grains
that can be secured without paving
too exorbitant prices for same.
