Test Seed Com.

Fifty-two reports from the Seed Corn
Census of the School Districts are in
the Office which indicates only about
half of the number Sent out. These
show q shortage of $50 bushels before
the corn has been tested.
If tests are not made Immediately
and q report made to the Howard
County Farm Bureau Office at once, we
are nor going to be able to supply the
County with Seed Corn.
Many of the tests that have been
made on corn around Cresco show no
seed corn which has had reasonably
good care, so it will be necessary that
quite q quantity of seed will have to be
obtained from the adjoining Counties.
The people having crib corn that they
think might have some seed in can get
we'll paid for the testing and can help
materially in supplying the seed short
age. r. L. CLARK, County Agent.

Parcel Post Weight Limit Raise. Today

Commencing today, March 18th, the
limit of weight for parcel post matter
has been increased to 70 pounds for
parcels mailed for delivery within the
first, second and third zones, and to so
pounds for parcels mailed for delivery
within any of the other zones.
This change will serve to increase
the usefulness and availability of the
parcel post as a prompt, convenient,
and cheap means of transporting mail
able parcels. The increased weight
limit will be particularly advantageous
in the marketing of products of the
farm, as it will make it possible for
producers and consumers to get into
direct contact, thereby facilitating the
conservation and distribution ::of food,
which is a most important factor in
winning the war.
The increased weight limit does not
apply to parcels sent to the Expedi-
tionary Forces in Europe. Parcels
mailed to those forces must not exceed
Z pounds in weight.

The Senatorial Pot Bubbling.

The Plain Dealer of recent date by
stating that Representative Elwood of
Elma was preparing to announce him
self as candidate for senator in the
Howard Winneshiek district evidently
|precipitated matters for the sue
ceeding issue of the Times, contain
ed an article. pretty effectively dispos-
ing of Mr.. Elwood's candidacy in the
following strong terms:
"Mr. Elwood has represented Howard
county for three terms in the house of
the general assembly and attained con-
siderable prominence in that body. We
do not believe, however, that his can
didacy at this time will be received with
favor by those who know of his atti-
tude toward the selective draft. Mr..
sElwood was among the first. to be
drawn for military service, but he Sc
cured exemption on the ground that he
was a member of the general assem-
bly,, and as that IS a valid claim under
the law the local board could do moth
ing but allow it.
Scores of young men in Howard and
Winnesh,ek counties have entered the
military service, many of them max
ing heavy personal sacrifices by so
doing, and it would not be giving them
the moral support which they are
worthy of if high civil honors should be
conferred upon any one who has shirk-
ed his duty to his country at this criti-
cal time. This war is the biggest un-
dertaking our country ever entered
upon. Tremendous sacrifices will have
to be made by every individual before
it is over, and the people will be in
clined to measure a mans claim to
public recognition largely by the ex-
tent and character of the war service
he has rendered. The man who has
shirked his duty in this crisis has no
one but himself to blame if he receives
scant consideration at the hands of the
public. We believe MIR. Elwood by his
action in this matter has eliminated
himself as a candidate for the Office of
senator and has greatly marred what
was otherwise a promising political
career"
The Decorah Republican reprinted
the Times article and stated that How
ard county's claim this year to the re-
publican senatorial nominee was recog-
nized and also stated that it had heard
mentioned the name of c. w. Reed of
Cresco in this connection. 1t has been
known for some time that Mr.. Reed
was at least q receptive, candidate for
the office, and H. L. Spaulding of Elma
at one time authorized the publication
of his announcement, which for some
reason has not appeared, so it would
appear that the republicans of this
senatorial district will have no lack of
candidates.
Since the foregoing was placed in
type, the Decorah Republican arrives.
with mention of still another candi-
date, ~ follows:
'John Murtha of Cresco was in De-
corah Tuesday evening to see some
relatives, and while here he informed
some of his friends he is thinking Of
becoming a candidate for state senator
on the Republican ticket at the COM
ing primaries. Mr.. Murtha was for
many years a resident of Winneshiek
county and is we'll known in the north
part of the county. He left the Demo-
cratic party some years ago and since
then has been steadfastly Republican.
He has made his home in Cresco dur
ing the pas. five years
