Use RAG Doll Tester.

The rag doll' seed tester, a simple
and reliable method of determining
termination, will tell you whether your
seed corn is fit to plant. This method
Of testing corn is described in detail
in Farmers Bulletin 94S of the de-
partment of agriculture. Briefly it
consists of a strip of cloth, preferably
bleached muslin, 16 inches wide and
from 8 to 5 feet long. The cloth
should be marked off into squared sec
tions and the squares all numbered.
The ears to be tested should also be
given corresponding numbers. Six or
more kernels should be selected from
different parts Of each ear, and placed
in the proper section. When the test
er is filled, fold over each side so that
the edges meet in the center, roll up
and soak the tester for a few hours
in lukewarm water. Drain the excess
water off, and place the dolls in q
warm place to terminate. They should
he covered with a wet cloth to keep
them moist, and in about five days
should be sufficiently we'll terminated
to show their fitness for seed.

President Writes Congressman eaer
That Promise Of Support 10
livery Gratifying"

Local politicians in certain sections
of Minnesota may pretend that the
Nonpartisan league is disloyal, but
President Woodrow Wilson has no il.
lusions on this subject.
The President has just written to
Congressman ]. NJ. Baer of North
Dakota declaring that a letter from
the congressman brought him a every
gratifying message" The letter was
an offer to the President of the ser.
vices of the National Nonpartisan
league.
At the request of A. c. Townley,
league head, Congressman Baer told
President Wilson that the farmers
composing the league have an en-
thusiastic desire to use our influence
in any way that you may suggest"
I'm the Northwest" Congressman
Baer continued, "it seems to us tina:
the powers-that-be are striving to un.
dcr'nine the administration under the
guise of constructive argument.
We really believe that our experience
in meeting such attacks, as they have
been directed by partisan politicians
in an effort to destroy our organiza.
ton, makes us particularly able to
help you"
President Wilson's reply follows:
My Dear Mr.. Baer:
Your letter brings me a very
gratifying message. I am glad, you
may be sure. to learn of such work as
you speak of. Support of the COVER
ment Just now and the correct inter.
probation of its policies and purposes
are of the utmost consequence, not
only to the United States but to the
world and the work of the sort YOU
outline contributes to the universal
cause.
Sincerely yours.
Woodrow Wilson.

FARMERS STICK TO LEAGUE
Enthusiasm Great at Points Where
Farmers First Began Work Of
Organizing.

In reporting IN enthusiastic meet.
ing at Bowman, North Dakota, in
which more than six hundred farm.
ers listened to Walter Thomas Mills,
the claim is made by the local cor
respondent that the Nonpartisan lea.
que was born at this place. The
splendid meeting is pointed to as
evidence that the farmers are stand.
ing together in the country from
which the farmers organization came.
A number of places in North Dako-
ia claim to be the birthplace of the
league. MIR. Mills said that Bowman
offered as evidence of this honor the
Tact that Mr.. A. c. Townley travelled
from farm to farm on foot in that
country trying to interest farmers be.
fore the League had taken form.
The enthusiastic n in which
the farmers Endorsed the league, its
governor. and its national officials. is
conclusive answer to the charge that
those who first Joined the league are
deserving it.

FORD FAvoRs OWNERSHIP

road Business.

Henry Ford attacks the whole sys.
tenn of private railroads, declaring
that it would be quite easy, with good
management, to diminish freight and
passenger rates one.half, while doub.
ling the wages of the employees and
the returns of capital.
He points out that the control of
our railroads has passed a good deal
to the bankers living in New York and
other large cities who know nothing
OF railroad work or administration.
Standardized manufacture is the
key by which Mr.. Ford would solve
the problem. He would have cars
and engines reduced in weight about
one'fourth by using steel of greater
tensile strength than is now used. At
present he declares that too much of
the power is needed to haul dead
weight around. {

EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN

AS a rule the employment Of
women in farming operations
should not be considered If the
agricultural production can be
maintained by the employment
of men and boys. The depart
ment of agriculture does not
wish to urge the use of women
laborers on the farms unless the
man supply becomes exhausted.
The lively interest now being
shown by women in all parts of
the country who r eager to
volunteer their services to help
the men and boys carry out the
nations food production program
this year has forced the atten-
ton Of federal officials to the
fact that needed work can be
done by these willing hands.
Women who can help farm won.
en- with their work and who a
release men in the lighter in
dustries to do the heavier work
on the farms can give valuable
did in the present labor emer-
gency.

Now that their attention has been

Not the Policy Of Agricultural Depart.
ment to Call Upon Center Sex
Until Nations Food Produc-
ton Is Threatened.

Only when the man and boy supply
Is exhausted and the failure of the
nations food production campaigns are
threatened, should the United States
call upon ONE to do mems work ON
the farm.
That, briefly, may be said to be the
policy of the United States depart
ment of agriculture in the matter Of
women as farm laborers. Badly as la
Dor will be needed to carry through
programs of food production this year
the department does n believe the
situation yet demands the employment
Of women for the heavier farming op-
erations. Rather, it believes that eff
forts now should be directed toward
persuading able-bodied men in the cit
les to do farm work and that commu-
nifty action should be directed to this
enl.
Work for Women.
But there will be work to do for
the thousands Of women who are Of
fering to help the farmers with their
big task. Helping farm women with
their added duties and taking the place
of men in the lighter industries, thus
releasing male labor for the farms, are
important ways in which women NAV
aid agriculture's program, department
officials point out. Furthermore. wom-
en- can he expected to help, as they
have in the past, with the lighter work
of truck farming, in picking and pack
Ing berries and fruit and with much
other light labor Of food production.
But If a serious labor shortage threat
ems the harvest of the country's food
crops the department of agriculture,
In cooperation with the department
of labor and other federal and state
agencies. will request women to help
meet the situation. 1t has instructed
Its field agents to aid farmers in oh.
tanning women workers when such con-
ditiOns arise.
Among the sources from which adj
ditsOnal labor may be obtained on the
farms are: ~ from among the wom-
en- already on farms; (2) from rela-
tives of farmers who are living in cit
w. lin "a WAAAAAS 10 WORK on
farms during slack business or indus
trial periods; (3) from the foreign
women who are accustomed to work
In the fields under a system of inten.
sive agriculture before migrating to
this country; and (4) from women in
nearby villages and towns who might
be employed on farms and still live at
home.
II In any community it becomes nee.
essary to employ women, the princi-
pie problems to be met are to stimu-
late women to take up farm work and
to make farmers realize the necessity
of using woman labor in order to main.
tain production.
Wages for Women.
The farmer desiring woman labor
ers should indicate the kind of work
which he wants done, the amount, and

Hampered by Senate.

They came TO Bismarck on the &C.
casion of this special session to do
a definite thing, convinced of the
needfulness of doing that thing both
by their own knowledge of farm con-
ditions and by the proclamation of
their farmer governor, in whom they
nave implicit faith. When they had
done This thing nothing else occurred
to them. They looked with marked
d1sfavor on the conduct of the senate
which kept them longer away from
their barns and stock, the care of
which in severe winter weather had
been temporarily entrusted to wives,
children and hired men.
These farmer legislators and their
farmer constituents feel with great
unanimity that effective relief of thu
seed and feed crisis of the present
winter would have been understandable
under the old political regime. Rightly
or wrongly, they ascribed the present
solution to the beneficient influence OF
the Nonpartisan league. The history
OF the special session will confirm
their belief in the Leagues doctrine
of Legislation for farmers by farm.
