Mr.. Kruger said.
Treating with formaldehyde for
the prevention of smut will increase the
yield per acre from three to twenty
per cent.
"The Importance of cleaning and
grading the seed can hardly be over
estimated. 1t increases the yield in
several ways. Among these is the
elimination of inequality among the
young plants The termination of the

practically the same time, thus one

that after being secured one must prop

bred stock to keep it from retrograd-

the advantage over high bred live

LANSING WARNS DELEGATES
To Stay Away From Peace Meeting IN
Sweden-Government Refuses
To Grant Passports.

Washington.-Emphatic dlsapproVa'
of the peace propaganda of European
Socialists was expressed by the Amer
lean Government, which denied pass
ports to American delegates to the
stockholm conference and issued
warning that any American taking
part in the negotiations would be le-
gally liable to heavy punishment. NO
formal announcement of purpose was
issued, but officials explained that the
governments course would have the
two-fold effect of discrediting gener'
ally any peace moves by unauthorized
persons and of condemning in partlc'
ular the present Socialist agitation
regarded since it's inception as IN
spired by Germany. In making known
the decision not to give passports to
the American Socialists designated to
take part in the Stockholm conference,
Secretary Lansing cited the Logan act
of 1890. as defining the punishment
which might be expected by any Amer
lean now in Stockholm or who might
go there without passport and par
ticipate in the peace discussions.
