an economic boycott even more feared In
Germany than military defeat and more
injurious. Here the spokesman of the
American people puts the whole matter m
q nutshell. We must and shall continue
the against the German Government
either by military operations or by boy
cott-until it is either defeated or over
thrown by the German people And as
long as the German people continue to sup .
port the present ruling class we shall be
obliged to continue this war, which,
whether military economic, is necess-
arily directed against the German people
as well as the German Government.
The method of conviction essentially necess-
airy to wake up the German masses is decisive
defeat of the army If the Allies shatter their
faith in the invincibility of the armed host that
now sustains their morale they will be aroused
to the truth. Until that day, we can little hope
for change in their loyalty to the government.
For this reason it is silly to speculate on how
tired the masses are of war, and futile to argue
that they ready to rise in revolt, as did the
Russian people, and demand the abdication Of the
house. Let us dismiss this idea at
once as an element favorable to the success of our
arms, because it does not exist.
Our whole mind must be devoted to the stern
lions of men for real fighting. We must not let
reports Of alleged unrest in Germany or of a
din1inution of fighting spirit among the soldiers
dissuade us from vigorous prosecution Of the
war.

ALL ASKED TO 4OOVERIZE:
FARMERS TO HOUSTONIZE

Closely familiar with the food needs
of our armies and allies, David F.
Houston, secretary of the United
States department of agriculture, is
urging the farmers Of America to
overcome what may seem unsurmount-
able difficulties and to produce the
largest possible supply of foods and
feedstuffs this year
Notwithstanding the very many
obstacles, the farmers of this country
last year responded periodically to
the appeals made to them. They
planted the largest acreages in the
history of the country, produced and
harvested record crops, and succeed
ed in increasing the number of live
stock.
at is clear that it will be ecOnom-
ically wise and advantageous for the
farmers of the nation to put forth
their best efforts during the coming
season to equal, and, if possible, to
exceed their record Of last year"

bushels to the acre Of the most beau
tfful corn he had ever seen.
The following year he selected the
% best looking ears and planted them
on the west side Of the field, one ear
to each row. In the fall each row
was husked separately, and the corn
carefully weighed. There were fully
30 bushels per acre difference between
the highest and lowest yielding rows.
There was also some difference in the
time Of maturity and growth Of foil
age.
He then selected 100 ears from the
highest yielding rows and planted
them the next year an ear to a row,
and noticed in the fall another in
crease in yield but not SO much varia-
ton. His best ten rows now averaged
over 80 bushels per acre.
Encouraged by these results he kept
on with the seed plot until 1912 when
two Of the best rows reached the 100
bushels per acre mark. Then he

Milwaukee, April 23.-Wisconsin,

thought it was time to see what could
be done in shortening up the growing
period Of this corn. By selecting the
first ears to ripen (from the highest
yielding rows) he found it made quite
a difference. The corn ripened earlier,
but yield was lessened somewhat. He
did not like to sacrifice too much of
the yield but realized that early corn
we must have, or go without in sea-
sons when it is needed so badly, and
when it commands the highest price
in the market.
Consequently he stayed with the
early corn idea, with the result that
for the past six years he has not
known failure in corn. (See next
weeks issue for second article on
success with cOrn.)

DESERVES A GOLD
MEDAL FOR THIS
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up any corn or callus so it lifts
right off.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn stops soreness at
once and soon the corn loosens so it
can be lifted out, root and all, without
a bit of pain.
A quarter of an ounce of freezone
costs very little at any drug store, but
is sufficient to take off every hard or
soft corn or callus This should be
tried, as it is inexpensive and is said
not TO inflame or even irritate the
surrounding tissue or skin.
If your wife wears high heels shs
will be glad to know of this.
