KILL THE WEEDS.

National Crop Improvement Serylce.1
Spring plowing, or disking, as soon
as the weed seeds have terminated, is
usually a profitable practice. Where
small grain is to be sown, the sowing
should be done soon after plowing;
but where corn, potatoes, or the
sorghums are to be grown, there is
often a period of several weeks be-
tween the time of the termination of
the weed seeds and the time when the
season is sufficiently advanced to
plant the crop. This period should be
utilized as far as possible for the de-
scruction of weeds before the crop Is
planted Much labor in keeping the
crop free from weeds during its grow
ing period can thus be saved."-

State Bankers Head Says Sale
Will Surpass The $41,-
100000 Quota

The following telegram of con-
graduation was received from
Secretary of the Treasury w. G..
McAdoo:
Liberty Loan Committee, st.
Paul, Mimi:
Congratulations on the spien-
did results of your campaign
"W. G. McAdoo."
Minnesota's contribution to
the Liberty loan fund will far
surpass the S41, 100000 assigned
to the state.
This is the opinion Of Henry
Won der Weyer Of st. Paul, presi-
dent Of the State Bankers as
sociation. From preliminary re-
ports points outside the larger
cities are doing excellent work
The leads of ST. Paul, Mime
apolis and Duluth over their as.
signments give a big lead fol-
the state subscription list. Some
committees in the smaller towns
are not progressing as rapidly
as they might, but Mr.. Won ,del
Weyer believes as a whole the
state result will be a surprise
because of it's size.
Banks, bond houses and 9th
er agencies in St. Paul were busy
gathering up stray ends of the
bond campaign. All subscrip.
tions for bonds in the city closed
Monday. Those sold later vii
be deducted from amounts sub
scribed by banks and will moi
increase the St. Paul total.
The latest figure obtainable OF
st. Paul's subscription was $11,

INSURE YOUR CORN
Don't Camille With Your Corn Crop.
Test Every Ear Before Planting
Every Weak or Dead Ear Means

Every Weak or Dead Ear Means
Dollars Less at Harvest.
National Crop improvement Sersice.l
1t is a known fact that the simple
little act of testing all seed corn be-
fore planting will add many bushels to
the corn crop and will pay the farmer
about five times as much per hour Tor
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 ker-
nels in blotters or "rag-dolP' testers
at home, making them yourself, or
you can invest in commercial test
er that will last for years. Your agrl-
cultural college, county agent, or the
U. 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 hum
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 dozen, or maybe fifty such
ears should get planted.

American Aviation
On French Front
Contracts Are Let to u. S. Firm
For Two-squadron Location
Where Yankee Airmen Will
Be Finally Instructed

Contracts have been awarded
to an American firm for the con-
struction of a two-squadron avia-
ton field in France, where
American army flyers will re-
|.ceive final preparation before
taking their place at the front.
Site Is Chosen.
The aircraft production board
of the National Defense Coun-
Gil announced Monday the site
has been selected and all con-
!struction material will be shipped
from this country to make the
field an exact duplicate of SINH
lar fields being equipped here
for the army.
Final training will be in
French battleplanes and under
French instructors. AS yet the
United States has produced no
airplanes Of sufficient power and
speed for use at the front, and
until American machines have
been developed to that point
foreign-built craft will be used
by American flyers for battle
purposes.
Camps Ready June 20.
The announcement was made
in statement issued by the
committee on public informa-
ton, by Chairman Howard E..
Coffin of the board. Three train
ing fields will be so nearly COM
pleted by June 20 that 500 stu
dent aviators, graduates of the
preliminary theoretical courses
given at six colleges, can begin
their training in actual flights
by that time.
"As new airmen leave Ameri-
can fields at the end of their
four months training" the
statement says, "they will fly to
the Atlantic coast and embark
for France. On French soil, un-
der French instructors and with
French machines, they will COM
plete their preparation for ac-
tual work at the front.

Tanning and Grading Seed Barley.
National Crop Improvement s.rv,


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
ination 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 we'll as the smaller ones
leaving the seed plump and uniform.
It is true that small seeds and giant
seeds will germinate, but the plant
food contained therein will undoubted-
ly make an unevenness in the matur-
ity at harvest.

GA. EXEMPTION BOARD
IS DISMISSED BODILY
PROVOST MARSHAL ACTS SUM-
MARILY IN FULTON COUNTY,
UNITED STATES INQUIRY MAY
FOLLOW.

Atlanta Ga, Dec. 15.-The entire
membership of the Fulton county
exemption board has been summary
dismissed by the provost marshal
general by orders by President VIII
son on charges involving 'unwar-
rasted exemptions and discharges"
according to a statement made pub
lie tonight by Maj. Joel B. Mallet,
officer in charge of the operation of
the selective service law in Georgia.
The order was issued with another
order appointing successors to Judge
r. F. Thompson, chairman; S. j.
Mitchell and DR.. c. NJ. Curtis, the
dismissed members. The city of
Atlanta is located in Fulton county.
According to statistics made pub
lie, out of S1S white men called in
the county 526 were exempted. OF
the total number of white men sum-
moned before the board, the an
nouncement said. "A per cent were
exempted on physical grounds. 1t
was also alleged that 202 negroes
were examined by the board and
out of this number six were exempt
ed
1t was pointed out that inasmuch
as the county's quota had already
been sent to camp, and in view of
the fact the new draft regulations
are about to become operative, the
provost marshal general has direct
ed that it will be unnecessary to
re-examine any of the registrants
exempted or discharged by the board.
The boards case, it was announc-
ed, has been turned over to the
department of justice.

FIVE PER CENT ON PROFITS
MAY BE STRICKEN OUT
Motion to Reconsider Proposed Tax
on Newspapers and Magazines Is
Before Senate Committee.

The Senate finance committee rev;s-
ing the war tax bill may reconsider ito
action. 1T was said today, on deciding
to impose levy of per cent on net
profits OF newspapers and magazines
A motion to reconsider. offered by
Senator Penrose. is pending, but can
not be taken mp before Monday. as the
committee has adjourned until then.
The new tax was adopted late yester-
day by majority Of only one vote
with several committeeman absent and
after vigorous fight led by Chairman
Simmons. who favored the tax on re-
ceipts from advertising. The proposal
would have been defeated on a tie vote
had an absentee arrived in time to cast
his dissenting vote.
The proposed tax, designed to raise
$15.O00,0O0, is substitute for the two
per cent advertising tax previously pro-
posed and the second-class mail rate
increases proposed In the House bill.
Other important taxation questions.
including rates on excess profits and
income are yet to be settled which
probably will delay completion of the
bill for another week
Committee members said the per
cent publishers profits tax was deter
mined upon because publishers repre-
sentatives In opposing a postage in
crease in the bill had made the plea
Tax our profits. but do not put us out
of business by a postage Increase
They said the profits tax would not
burden the publishers in the aggregate
any more than the proposed per
cent advertising tax, or the House post
age zone increase.
