tBy Associated Press,

AMSTERDAM, May l6.-The THO
prints the following censored letter
from a Vienna correspondent: "The
reason why all classes of the popu-

is that in him they saw herald of
peace and the people want peace
above all This is not surprising be
cause of misery in the extreme. The
people probably will hold out through
the next difficult months until the
Ukraine grain arrives in sufficient
quantities. But is is natural that
everybody yearns for peace. A hun

struetion to last?' Only the convic-
tion that the emperor honestly de-
sires peace and has given evidence
of this in recent incidents keeps the
people going"

Field Costly Seed Corn Tester-Use
Rag-DOll Method.

Results of the seed-testing work
carried on in the schools are being re-
ported to the extension service, Uni
Versity of Vermont and state agri-
cultural college. The county agents
and district school superintendent
have practically completed their work
of demonstrating to the teachers and
schools the rag-doll method of seed
testing and the children are now at
work testing the seeds of the farmers
in an effort to determine whether the
seed will or will not grow. While ct
is rather early to draw conclusions
from the results of this work brief
statement of results thus far report
ed may induce many farmers to have
their seeds tested before planting.
Greatest emphasis has been placed on
corn since the seed corn seemed to ,be
of much lower terminating quality
this year than in the average year.
To date 800 of the schools reporting
have taken up the testing of seed
corn, the average termination being
$3.50. This means that two kernels
of corn in three will grow. Here is
an alarming condition for if the
farmers of Vermont plant their corn
expecting it all to grow they have
made it absolutely impossible for
thirds of a crop Of corn. This would
be almost calamity this year when
every ounce of food is necessary. The
range of termination was from to
1OO%o. No farmer knows whether his
corn will or will not grow unless he
has tested it. 1t is a duty and a
sound money-making practice. "Lack
of food will lose the war;"
Farmers wishing to test their own
seed should send to the Extension
Service, University of Vermont and
ton, for Farmers Bull. 948 or Circular
