Oats Most Profitable
Grain Crop On Farm

As the season for planting oats is
drawing near, some advice from one
who has spent a lifetime growing seed
oats might be the means of increasing
the yield from 40 to so per cent in
many cat fields for the coming harvest
and make tbs the most profitable grain
crop on the farm, provided good seed
rs planted and given good cultivation
as comparison of values will show.
Oats at soc a bushel of 80 pounds
and wheat at 81 per bushel of 60 lbs,
would mean that two bushels of oats
practically equal in price, one bushel
of wheat, which ON ordinary yields
would make the yield of wheat worth
$40 and oats $3.50 per acre.
Now, right here, says c. d. Marin in
the Portland Journal, is where the aver
age farmer "drops his bundle" by sow
ing common seed. Varieties of improv-
ed heavy-yielding oats yield 65, 75, 100,
125 and even more bushels to the acre
l35 bushels and 10 pounds being the
record yield for Polk county. Now, take
70 bushels per acre as the average, and
at SOC bushel, we have $3.50, or $50
per acre more than common oats ana

Anti-war meetings under the diree-
tion of the Socialist party continue to
held in all parts of the nation. They are
proving q powerful educational factor
and aid in overcoming the frantic hys-
terra created by the iingo eapitalistie
press. One of the most successful of
these mass meetings. was recently held
in Milwaukee at which Victor l.. Her

dress ON this occasion was as follows:
This certainly is the time when it is

We all know that very small but
very powerful class controls the banks.
railroads, mines and factories of our
country. The same class also controls
the press-the big daiies as well as the
monthly reviews. And the capitalist
press manufacturers and molds public
opinion as the owners dictate.
just at present that press is molding
public opinion for war; the capitalist
owners want America to join the allies.
There are, Of course, many papers that
were bought up directly by the pro -Bri-
tish propaga ganda-but most of the cap
italist publications did not have to be
bought.

that England and Russia are fighting

Germany is fighting for militarism and

German-Sociaiist Leader Victor
Berger, States His Reasons for
Opposing President Wilson S VieUs

with the British capitalist class.
The fact was never SO evident as IN
this war.
No honest man can deny that from
the beginning of the war our govera-
ment has not been neutral. While nom
inally our government has obeyed the
letter of International law-our ruling
class has constantly and viciouslv vio-
lated its spirit and has has received
the encouragement OF the government
and the protection Of the American flar
for this violation
Morgan's s Dishonest Quibling.
Our manufacturers and speeulators
have been shipping munitions and other
supplies to the allies, while they were
prevented by the allies from shipping
them to the other side. To claim that
it was not the fault of American manu-
faeturers that these munitions and sun
plies could not be sent to the central
powers is dishonest quibbling, Of course.
As matter of fact Mr.. J. Pierpont
Morgan, the fiscal agent of Great Brit
ain from the beginning of the war, acted
as If he were also the agent for our
government. He practically monopoliz-
ed the supply of metals and other war
material in this country.
A hardware merchant in a town ont
west who would willingly furnish guns
and ammunition to a dozen COWBOYS
that are fighting with two others IN
the street, would undoubtedly be guilty
as accessory to the murder-alto he
might plead that he was in no position
to furnish guns and ammunition also
to the other two. Court and jury would
justly hold that by not furnishing it TO
either side, he might have prevented the
murder entirely.
1t is violation of neutrality
do not care what the international
lawyers say-to help only the allies and
to iniure only the Germans. 1t is all
the more violation of neutrality because
we had it in our power to stop the war
within short time by refusing to fuy-
nish munition, war material and food to
| both sides, as the socialists proposed at
the beginning of the war.
Fight Over War Zones,
/ The present situation to create a war
zone on the open sea, was really started
by England little more than two wears
ago. Our government protested in a
Iperfunctory manner, but since Germany
has extended that zone, our government
is willing to go to war itself.
The German submarine policy Is nm
doubtedly cruel and vicious. But so is
all war cruel and vicious.
England has at no time obeyed the
international lay and it is only quoting
the law when it suits the English inter-
est.
And Germany is fighting for its very
existence and is fighting with its back
to the wall. Why should we all OF
sudden demand that only Germany Is
to obey the International rulesa
It is like asking man who is fight
ing for his life against half dozen
men-that the one only who is in the
minority should obey the Marquis of
|Queensbury rules and that the others
