Find Seed Corn is Poor in Quality as
Well as Scarce.

East Lansing, Mich, Jan. 31-Field
men of the Michigan Agricultural
college who for weeks have been scour-
ing the state in an effort to round up
a supply of seed corn for the many
districts in Michigan which have none,
have found that careful testing of all
ears intended for planting will be ne
cessary this spring if farmers wish
to avoid the planting of much dead
corn and the attendant loss that will
follow.
alarming results have been OBJ
tanned from germanation tests Of
samples taken throughout the state"
the department of farm crops de-
clares. "In 8 samples Of old corn
tested, only 61.3 per cent of the kerr
nels grew; in selected and dried corn
the results were hardly better, for in
q samples tested just 69.2 per cent
of the kernels grew; in 8 samples of
early selected and dried corn, the per
cent of termination was 3.5. All
other corn proved to be almost worth
less for seed, for in Is samples Of corn
selected late only 30.1 per cent Of the
kernels germanated while in all sam
Piles of field corn, the per centage of
germanation was but 10.5. With 8
samples selected from inside the shock
the per centage Of germanation was
but CAT; in 8 samples of corn from
outside the shock only 40 per cent of
the kernels germanated, while in 40
samples of crib corn only 2O.8 per
cent Of the kernels grew.
"These results show that corn from
shock is ruined for seed and but little
corn in the crib is fit for planting.
Only the corn harvested early and
properly dried will make good seed
and much of this is of surprisingly low
germanation this season. All corn to
be used for seed should be worked over
with the ear germanation test. Dead
ears and ears Of low cremation must
be weeded out. In many cases crib
corn may be worked over to supply
sufficient good seed for planting. The
ear test will pick out the ears that will
grow"

TURN CASH INTO GUN FIRE
BY Frank A. Vanderlip

. We fought and won the Spanish war
with 10000 soldiers and 5000, 000,-
900 bond issue. In men under arms
we now have ten times that number
We issued ten times that amount OF
bonds in the first Liberty Loan. We
are proposing to spend and loan to the
allies in the first fiscal year Of the war
$40 ,OOO, 000,00 From now until the
end of this fiscal year the treasury an
ticipates needing $3O0OO0,000 week
that is, the treasury has got to fight
financially Spanish war every four
days. That indicates a money measure
of the size of this work, but that is not
the real measure. We have just seen
that one might have plenty of money,
but an empty coal bin. In just the
same way the government can have
plenty of money, but an unequipped
army. This army cannot be equipped
as modern warfare demands if the
man power of the country is at the
same time called upon to produce all
of our ordinary comforts and luxuries.
1t is as plain as two and two that all
of us must make personal sacrifices,
must give up comforts and luxuries,
even necessary expenditures that can
be postponed, if there is to be labor
and material enough to equip the
army in time for it to fight while it
will do some good to have it fight.
In war the only effort that is of any
value is that which ultimately trans
lated into gun fire on the field of bat
tie. The gun fire that will win this
war cannot be delivered until all Amer
lea recognizes individual responsibility.
until the whole people join in the eff
fort by giving up things that they can
do without, so that the labor that
would have been employed in making
those things can do work that will ul-
timately result in gun fire. The gov
eminent has offered the opportunity to
translate at once every ones's personal
patriotism into the sort Of help that
will win the war. Forego buying
something that is unnecessary; loan
the money you would have used to the
government by buying SIS war savings
certificates. You will thus have re-
leased labor, you will have given cred
it to the government, you will have ac-
quired the best security in the world.

TOLEDO AUTO SHOW

Patriotism will be the keynote at
the annual Auto Show to be held in
the Terminal Auditorium from Febru-
airy IL to 16 inclusive.
General Manager H. V. Buelow,
manager Of the Terminal Auditorium
who has been placed in charge of the
tenth annual Toledo Auto Shows
Company, is leaving nothing undone
to make the big show a success.
"War conditions will in nowise in
Iterfege; with the success. off the Ncom-
ing show" declared, Manager -Buelew
today. "The public is just as anxious
to view high class and new cars as
they were before the world war took
up attention and energy. There will
be hundreds of high class pleasure
cars on exhibition. The women folks
will have their hearts desire surfeit-
ed in the number of handsome and
luxurious electrics that will be shown"
In addition, Manager Buelow says,
there will be huge display of auto
trucks. This feature of the show is
expected to attract every business
man as well as the general public.
The prominence to which the automo-
bile truck has risen since the United
Estates entered the war has gained
for it attention also most equal to the
pleasure car of most durable design.
Practically every manufacturer Of
motor trucks will have one or more
Of their product on display. Army
officers who are using them daily in
transporting supplies overland in or
der to relieve the congestion Of the
railroads recognize their value. Heavy
trucks for army use will be on dis
play. There will be others that have
been through long hauls over almost
impossible roads that will show their
durability.
The Terminal Auditorium where
the show will be held has larger floor
space than famous Madison Square
Garden. Although most of the space
was contracted for by members of
the Toledo Auto Shows Company
there still are number of choice
spaces where independent dealers ex-
pect to show their wares.
While the thousands of visitors to
the show are passing through the.
various exhibits they will be enter
tanned each afternoon and night by
band concert which will be augment
ed by vocalists of national reputation.
Every convenience for entertain
ment of ladies is being arranged by
Manager Buelow and his staff.
