SEE THAT THE NEW SEED
LAW is COMPLIED WITH
An Open Letter To the Farmers and
Seedmen or Kentucky.

Lexington, Ky-The new Ken
lucky Seed Law was enacted nearly
year ago and has been in effect
since September 23, 1916, Every
body concerned has had ample time
to comply with it, yet it seems there
are people who are not familiar with
it, and some who intend to defy its
provisions. Briefly stated, it re-
quires that all field seeds, such as
those of clover and oats, must bear
a label giving the percentage of pur-
ity and of termination, and that
sealed packets of vegetable and
flower seeds shall bear the date of
filing and the percentage of germi-
nation. Failure to label seeds prop
erly renders the seller liable to a
fine of from $25 to 500 for each
violation. The law was enacted for
the protection of Kentucky farmers
and seedmen and this open letter is
an appeal to them to uphold it by
insisting that it be complied with.
Do not receive seeds that are not
labeled as the law requires.
Buy only of people who comply
with the law.
Insist that field seeds be honestly
labeled with the approximate per-
centage of purity and termination.
Insist that sealed packets of seeds
bear the date of filling and the per
cent. of termination in large type.
If you find dodder, sour dock, or
wild onion seeds among field seeds,
send us samples for testing. 1t will
be done free.
Secure a copy of the law in Cir
cular No. 5 of the Department of
Entomology and Botany, and read
it carefully.

The man who carefully returns to
his land all the organic waste of the
farm is travelling the shortest and
easiest road to a rich farm. The
man who wastes organic matter

of any kind that will rot-is travel

The man who burns the dead
grass off his fields. the corn or cot

foolish thing-a thing as foolish as
would be the dumping of manure

FINANCIAL PREPAREDNESS.

II is estimated that the country's
finances under the Federal reserve
system can stand eight times as
great a strain as that which in the
Roosevelt panic of 1907 forced ev-

to cashiers checks. This estimate,
by the way, comes from Republican
bankers.

effects not being confined to restora-
ton of flesh and skin, but including
regained muscular strength and ner-
vous control.
The lifelong disfigurements that
follow deep burns on the face and
other exposed parts of the body are
so universally known and dreaded,
and the general helplessness, or. in
adequacy, of surgical and medical
treatments with regard to them
have so long produced discourage
ment, that this new and simple
method comes as a boon to mankind
in times of peace no less than of
war.
One can understand the enthusi-
asm with which American women,
who have been in the hospitals and
witnessed the seeming miracles of
healing and restoration, appeal for
supplies of the simple substance,
parafine, which is needed in large
quantities for preparing the rene
dial balsam.
Soundness of the Old Principle That
Nature is the Only Real Heal
er is Proved.
The fact that there is nothing es-
sentially new in the principles upon
which DR.. de Sandfort's method
rests makes it success all the more
surprising. 1t is the old story of
hitting upon the right thing after
many unsuccessful or only partially
successful attempts. It is also
striking lesson on the soundness of
the idea, when is Gs old as the art
of medicine, that nature is the only
real healer.
Neither the physician nor the sur
geon can do anything more than aid
nature by removing obstacles from
her path, or by giving her little
boost here and there. There is no
claim made that in this case any
mysterious agent is set to work. The
applications have soothing effect,
but their virtue consists in the pro-
lection which they afford to the re-
storative forces that already reside
in the body.
The access of inimical influences
from without is prevented, and the
work goes forward of itself, the de-
tissues being renewed by a
new growth, and a new skin with
the color and finish of health, ia
king the place of the old one. Re-
generations of a similar kind, oc-
curing among lower animal forms,
have been known from time imme-
Frogs sometimes regain
limbs. With lizards this
is a common phenomenon.
Among mammals muscular tissue,
home, epithelium and nerve struc-
lures are occasionally automatically
replaced 1t is in the protoplasmic
cells that this power resides, and the
process has been regarded as due
to ''the removal of resistances to
an expression whose gen.
crafty proclaims the lack of definite
knowledge behind it, but which,
seems to offer CLEAN
of light upon the cause of DR.. de
success. There is also
food for reflection in DR.. p. C.

coming clear that, at least in the

The worst things have some good
sides, and a good side of war is that
IL stimulates both the desire and the
ability to alleviate suffering. New
methods and inventions in medicine
and surgery find the door wider
open to them, and their field of use
fulness-if they prove themselves
useful--vastly expanded, in times
when the annual fury of raging ma
tons lays hundreds of thousands Of
their human units on cots of torture
and agony, and condemns those who
survive to lameness, blindness, help
lessness and Disagreement.
Every great war sees an advance
IN the treatment of wounds, the al
deviation of pain and the elimination
of quick-sprouting seeds of disease.
Ask any surgeon what was gained
in this respect during our Civil War,
and read the newspapers for infor-
nation about what is being gained
during the far more terrible mar
now convulsing the world.
Some of the things accomplished
in the hospitals of Europe are of
such nature that laymen are apt
to look upon them as approaching
close to the line of the miraculous,
and are not readily convinced of the
truth of the stories of the wonderful
sures effected.
have myself regarded with pre-
iiminary skepticism some of the ac-
counts of what has been achieved in
the st. Nicholas Hospital, in France,
by the treatment invented by DR..
Marthe de Sandfort for the cure of
burns and similar injuries. which
have been so dreadful a feature of
this inhuman struggle; but one can
not resist such evidence as is now
offered of the faithfulness of these
reports. Photographs, it is true, can
be falsified, but the photographs
shown to me in this case are mani
testify genuine, and are backed up
by verbal and written testimony that
cannot be doubted.

Everything he can raise will be
worth double former prices. Al
so everything he has to buy to
make a crop is in about the same
proportion. His profits for the

Where We Are AT, and What
To Do

1t seems to be, 50 far as the
public is informed, an open ques-
ton as to the course Mexico will
pursue in regard to our declara-
ton Of war against Germany. A
few days ago il was reported
that a big German propaganda
was being carried on by the Ger
man officials, military officers
and a Gordon Of spies to unite
the warning elements and fac
tions in a big army, to be drilled
and differed by expert German
soldiers. When the opportune
time arrived, they were toinvade
Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona
and engage in war on a big scale
with this government.
1t hardly looked possible that
the Mexican leaders could be led
into such a trap by a foreign
power which cared nothing for
them except to engage a part of
our army, while we were en-
gagged with them. 1t is now re-
ported that Carranza has ordered
out of Mexico all Germans. If
he has, and thereby rejected the
specious offer, good and well.
Peace may then be hoped for in
Mexico.
If, on the contrary, ne and his
followers propose to invade the
United STAGES, we trust this gov
eminent will organize a half mil
lion negro soldiers, led by white
line officers, and sweep the coun-
try from Gulf to ocean. Let con-
gress pass an ACT allowing to
every such soldier a homestead
of a large amount as an incentive
to desperation, out of the terri
tory captured, and after peace,
divide the territory into states
for the negroes. When they
learn that their lands will be for
feited when captured, they will
begin to open their eyes.
We are now in world war,
and that we are there for oul
health should be understood not
true. The world has looked or
us recently as a nation of benev.
client ideas and Of liberal purse
that we charge nothing for wars
we win; that we want no terri
tory or i1demnities. We have or
that account been imposed upon
If Mexico had understood long
ago that we would take theil
country or a part Of it if they die
not behave, we would not now b
menaced as we have. They
should now be compelled to in
demnify US for the millions spen
in trying to keep peace and il

Much complaint is coming from
the farmers in this section on ac-
count of the continued rains.
They are discouraging, but there
is plenty of time yet to make a
full crop. We know that the
early crops are usually the best.
Corn planted in March or the
first of April makes heavier corn
than that planted in Mayor June.
Yet good yields often come from
June corn. Cotton should be
planted by April 20 to insure a
good crop; yet, it will make a
crop planted up to May 20.
