A Sane Statesman.

The sanity and poise OF Judgment
and general statesman-like character OIL
Secretary Lanes work, either as an In
terstate Commerce Commissioner or as
as a member Of the Cabinet may be ex
planned - in fact some folks do explain
them that way by the fact that he,
having been born in Prince Albert Is
land, is not eligible Tor the Presidency
and, in consequence, is not bothering
himself with the problem Of how any
thing he may do will affect his chances
for the Democratic nomination in 1920.
So he just goes ahead and does the
thing which commends itself to his
sense OF justice and to his intellect e
both OF which are normally developed.

Guard Against Cattle Diseases.

Washington, Aug. % Especial cor
respondence)
Congressman James c. Mclaughlin
Of Michigan, one oil the conferees on
the lood survey bill, was most solicit.
Gus during the meetings o! the confer
ence committee that no provision
should creep into the measure that en-
dangers the health ol the public through
the importation Of cattle from Central
America and Mexico. All cattle hich
during the previous six months have
been exposed TO any disease are not
permitted to enter the country. Cat
tie infested with the cattle tick, how
ever, are excepted, but it is provided
that they shall be slaughtered at the
port OF entry, and the hides treated in
such a way as TO remove the danger Of
infection from that source. Some criti.
cism has been directed at the measure
because Of the exception made, but
Mr.. Mclaughlin claims that the safe.
guards thrown around the matter BY
the conlerecs are an ample protection.

Raise Rye for Liberty Bread.

The United Safes Government has
asked that the rye acreage be inceased
l24 per cent over normal. Field men
OF the University OF Missouri College
OF Agriculture who are administering
the work CT the wheat campaign are
suggesting ,ha, farmers plan, rye in
those counties where rye is not ordiuari
ly pr fable, In such counties rye
usually max S a profitable yield il it is
sowD early enough on a well prepared
seeded. While a minimum price
has not been fixed Ior rye, the price
which farmers will receive tor the crop
next year will undoubt,d y be gcod
The Allies will require a h,ayy tx
portation Of rye from this country.
II is therefore important to increase
The rye as well as the wheat production.
The European Allies Of the United
States use large amount Of rye for
bread making. Black bread made
from rye is used extensively in France
>The supply q rye seed in tina United
States is short. The College Of Agri'
culture and the United States Depart,
ment Of Agriculture are cooperating in
locating seed supplies. An effort will
be made to find seed in Missouri and
in other states which will be adapted
10 Missouri conditions. Farmers who
intend to SOW rye should communicate
with J. c. Hackleman, College Of Ag-
riculture, Columbia, Missouri, who will
probably be able to tell where seed
can be obtained.

The Germans in Russia.

A German investiture Of Riga is very
likely to be followed by German oc-
cupation Of that place and some further
advance into the interior oil Russia
There is the possibility Of a Russian
rally against foreign invasion which
will place an enemy within striking
distance Of Petrogrsd. II may we'll be
doubted, however, that G'rman plans
contemplate an occupation oI the
Russian capital at this time. Olcourse,
German commanders may freely dis
count the old bugaboo ol what happen
ed TO Napoleon after triumphal entry
into the Russian capital, by saying
that in the mslntime, steam transporta
tion has displaced marching and cavalry
as a means Of locomotion for an army
and that it is now possible, through
modern methods Of transportation, to
keep an invading army in Russia 10
steady communication with its base oI
supplies.
Still, the prospect is not alluring.
The Teutonc allies are in no position
TO spare the grea, army OF men which
would be needed to hold Perograd
and TO keep open the lines Of com
municaticn even FOR The short distance
from tidewa,er to the Russian capita
in addition to holding the militar,
frontier they have now established il
that part Of the world. 1t may bt
calculated that such an invasion woulC
! speedily force the Russians into tn,

PLAN FOR SEED CORN ROW
Il Should Be Taken From Stalks Standing
Where They Grew

The scrsyield Of corn is the United
States could and should be greatly IN
creased, according to The Upited S ate S
Department ol Agriculture, which
S atls that the proper selection # seed
is Of primary importanc in mirroring
the yield. The average production
for the country is % bushels an acre,
though yields as high as 200 bushels
lave been made by contestants in
boys corn clubs.
Seed corn should be selected from
stalks standing where they grew, ac,
cordiDg TO the corn specialists Of the
department. This is necessary be-
cause it is the means Of making sure
that the seed will have the power 10
yield well, as shown by the superiority
Of the stalks over surrounding ones
that grew under the same conditions.
This sort Of seed lnherits high pro-
ducing power.
It must be understood, says the de
partment, that like produces like, and
that an early maturing corn yielding
abundantly on short, thick stalks is
likely 10 repeat these same character
iStics in the next generation. For ex
ample, seed corn should be taken from
stalks without suckers, but il will in
variably produce fewer suckers than
seed from sucker bearing stalks.
All seed corn should be selected by
hand as a special task, and not incl
dental TO husking. The corn should
be gathered as soon as thoroughly
mature and before the first hard freeze.
Enough should be gathered as soon as
thoroughly mature and before the first
hard ireezs.
For two seasons planting, TO insure
a supply Of seed, il, for example, the
first planting is drowned out, or il the
next crop should be hurt by early Irost.

making Of separate peace, But, on
the other hand, there is the desperate
chance that the Russians, as in Napol-
cons time, would, as the result Of
such an invasion, rally desperately, and
in overwhelming numerical strength,
tor the expulsion OF the invaders.
An occupation Of Riga, aud an over
running Of the country around it. are
probabilities. This will be done for
the influence such Ieat may have up
on war, wearied Germans on the verge
Of another war winter, and ai er losing
campaigns along all ether lronts and
IN the submarine adv n'ure. Winter
is almost at hand in Russia now, aud
however other things may have chlnged
since the time Of the Nlpoleonic iu'
vasion, the Russian winter Climate is
as inhospi,able now as then. For
buoying up the hopes and condolences
Of distressed people, the Riga move
ment may be good thing But uL'
less the Russian Character has changed
more than the Russian climate, the
seizure Of the Russian capital would be
less likely TO force a separate p ace
than it would be to make history re-
peat itself, regardless ct modern in
ventions. -Globe.D mocrat

The Presidents Reply.

There is nothing surprising in the
presidents reply to the pope'S peace
proposals. 1t is the reply that was ex
pecied. 1t was the only reply that in
telligence, justice and patriotism, as
well as mercy, could make at this time,
under the circumstances that now OBJ
tain. To end the war under the con.
ditions proposed by the pope would be,
in fact, neither mercy or humanity, for
it would be but armistic, sure to be fol-
lowed by larger and bloodier war, il
1t were possible for any war 10 be larger
and bloodier. To be stern and implac
able now that permanent peace may
be established is the truest mercy.
The president shows very clearly that
the powers artayed against Germany
carnot stop now, cannot stop until the
primary object Of the world war is at
tanned, cannot stop until guarantees Of
peace can be explicitly supported, "
as he says, by such conclusive evi.
dence OF the will Of the German people
themselves as the other peoples OF the
world would be justified in accepting"
His arrangement Of the German Gov
eminent gives no indication Of soft
ening OF his heart toward that authority
and he sees in it no present promise
oi repentance or remorse. Yet he
makes it plain that the United States
seeks no revenge and no material ad,
vantage. The "intolerable wrongs
done in this war BY the furious and
brutal power Of the Imperial German
Government ought 10 be repaired" he
says, but not at the expense Of the
sovereignty Of any people" Nor does
he favor economic alliances aimed at
reutonic power after the war. "Puni-
tive damages" he declares, the dis
memberment Of empires, the establish
nent Of selfish and economic leagues,
xe deem insxpcdient and in the end
worse than futile" The test" he
says. of every plan Of peace is this;
Is ii based upon the faith Of all the
peoples involved OF merely upon the
word Of an ambitious and intriguing
government, on the one hand, and q
group OF free peoples, on the otheif
This is test which goes to the root o.
the matter; and it is the test which
mus, be applied"
! Truly it is. The presidents reply /:
! enc, We believe, that expresses the feel
ing Of the American people in this mat
ter This country would be glad ,c
see peace, there is nothing it desires
so much, and .ha, cannot be assured
until the people oil the central. power

That homely but useful article of food
known as the common cabbage, is com
ing into its own and farmers who are
so disposed are assured of a market at
the rate of SO ton. This sum is be-
ing offered by the Gideon Stolz com
pany, to be used for the manufacture of
sauer kraut. 1t was not so long ago
that 81 ton was top notch but not to
be outdone by several other food arti-
cles, cabbage is occupying a high shelf
and is putting on so much swank that
the old style five cent cabbage head is
a thing of the past. The Gideon Stolz
company want contracts for from one to
25 acres and will contract at so ton.
