available, but where II is desirable to
economic labor II would be advisable
10 plant tested seed at about the same
rate as the stand desired and do no
thinning.
A more general use Of efficient har.
vesting machinery would permit
more economical use Of labor. A corn
binder with an attachment for elevat-
ing the bundles Of corn into wagon
should be used much more extensively
than II Is for harvesting ensilage corn.
There Is also on the market machine
that converts the corn into ensilage
in the field, eleyating 1t into a wagon,
from which II is sucked or lifted into
the silo. The use of either of these
machines, especially the latter, would
do away with the necessity Of much
iaborfous work.
Harvest by Machinery.
A large percentage Of the cutting
and shocking of corn Is done by hand
labor, In some sections. because of
unfavorable topography or other rea'
sons. II is not practicable to use ma
chine cutters. However. the greater
part of the corn that is now cut by
hand labor could be harvested by ma.
chinery, economlEing labor and doing
the work In a less laborious manner.
Much Of the corn that Is now husked
from the shocks could be handled more
economically and with a saving in feed
value Of slower by substituting ma.
chine huskers and shredders for hand
labor. The use Of corn pickers would
accomplish similar results In the case
of corn husked from the standing
stalks. Unloading and elevating ma
chlnery at the crib should be intro
duced and more generally used In
many sections where II Is now un.
known or not commonly used. Where
such facilities are not available cribs
should be constructed In such q man
ner that they can be filed and emptied
with the least possible labor. For
level ground. double cribs with an ele-
waited driveway and approaches that
will enable the loads TO be driven
through the cribs and dumped or
scooped out Of the wagons without any
high pitching are very satisfactory.

"The PeopIe's War"

Under the head of "The Peoples War the cur rent Outlook says; At the front the allied armies have no illusion about the strength of Germany but they have no thought for any end but victory.
 This is a peoples war, not merely a.war of armies; all of us in the fight part of the indspen- sable reserves We must all, says the Outlook, the leadership of the president because he MT. Wilson, not because he has displayed peculiar abilities, but because under laws the leader and there can be other
 The president is expected to display the qualities of leadership we may add to produce the results of good leadership The qualities must be manifested in various and especially by the choice of ability, fitness and patriotism and not merely men who have distinguished themselves for adherence to the party to which the president belongs this is not party If it to be made one it would be lost.
 The Outlook offers no criticism of the president for having chosen unfit men. It says that when he chose Mir. Root political opponent as head of the Russian commission he gave exhibition of leader ship. But when he placed General Wood, an admit tedy great military leader in inferior position be; of his early and insistent advocacy of prepar- edness which the president now knows was eminentIy desirable and when he refrained from summoning General Wood upon his return from France to report to him personally at the first possible moment the president failed in leadership"
 Nor does the Outlook regard it as a mark of leadership for the president to consider his personal enemies men who are heart and soul for the vigorous prosecution of the and whose only offense has been to call attention mistakes and delays in the prosecution. "To suggest remedies existing fail is not hostility It dsloyalty to Presi- dent Mckinley to point out the embamed beef scan- dal; it is not hostility President Wilson to point out that the Committee on Public Information has made false statements about arpanes'
 The Outlook finds emphasis for it's view in the following quotation from Alr. Roosevelt:
 This is the peoples war. It is not the presidents war. It is not congress- it is the war of the people of the United States and welfare of America and mankind. It is the bounden duty of every republican to support every public servant from the president down insofar he does good and efficient work in waging the helping to wage the war; and to oppose him to the his fail- ure to do such work for loyalty is to the people of the United States and every public servant in exact accordance with the way he serves the public
 There are some, among them the smaller mar members of congress who seem to regard this partisan war democratic war The record is against such assumption. If the presidential result of 1916 left anything clear it that the democratic party not put into power to carry on a war but to refrain from carrying a war. If the people had

A PAINTER OF CHILDREN

Portraits of children have perennial appeal The most attractive pictures Valesquez painted those of little Spanish nfantas, chdlike and flower
 like despite their absurd hoop skirts.
 In our time the painting of portraits of children has been attempted with success by such Sargent Chase and Alexander. This success has been added to by another and younger American painter, Maurice Fromkes In his portraits of grown ups" trace the influence of the old masters, Rembrandt, Has the Italians-in the likenesses instance, Cardinal Merry del Val done in the Vatican of Sir Edward Elgar, of Dr. Lyman Abbott of the late Doc tor Leipziger of Madame Mazarin in her role of Flee tra, and of the composer Giuseppe Ferrata, whose portrait hangs in the present Fromkes Exhibition at the Reinhardt Galleries, New York City.
 Alongside it, however, are dozen portraits of children and some remarkable studies of still life All reflect not only the painters feeling for color but the general feeling for color at this special juncre in art life-an instinct for what might call robust color. Whether recent Russian stage perform ances have inspired this whether the increasing ap precation of Oriental with it's lacquers bro cades-never mind.
 And with the desire for a robust masculine color there has greater comprehension not only of it's sheer decoration but also of any kind of decoration a background for it. Of this double appreciation with artist like Eromkes, who understands children and how to take them, brings about striking results
 Let seek in his canvases for the atmispheric portraits of the type of those painted by the late George Frederick Watts, for instance where the sub who wishes to child characters well portrayed and heads strongly lighted dominating no matter what gorgeausness of environing color these portraits certainly worth whie.-From the Outlook
