LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Teuton View.

Amsterdam, April 3.-For the first

ment dismisses the idea Of League OF
Nations as fantastic and impossible The
statement as published in the German
papers. says;
1--WE do not see that a League OF Ma
tons could offer any guarantee OF last
ing peace among men. The nations
would perhaps greet such league with
ioy. but in due time they would learn
to curse it, because it could not fail to
deceive all their hopes most cruelty. The
only possible result would be continual
strife and quarreling, and finally per
haps a fresh war, in which the whole
world would be involved So lar as

quantity of seed which can be planted

depend largely upon its own 1917 crop
for seed. termination tests show that
much of Re supposedly good seed put up

this crisis there is only one way to make
sure of high terminating, adapted seed,
which will guarantee a good stand OF wig.
orous growing plants necessary Tor
high Weld This way is to ear test the
available supply in the locality, and i
is the opinion Of the corn specialists OF
the United States department OF agri-
culture that all local seed supplies should
be tested before outside sources are re-
sorted to.
The obviously unfit ears can be ellmi-
mated by inspection, but many OF those
left, which TO all appearances are well
matured and fit for seed, will be shown
BY the tester to be weak or dead while
the remainder can be relied upon to give
good results when planted There are
MANY testers in use, but the most prac-
teal and economical Of them all is the
rag doll" Bleached muslin is salts
factory material for making the doll.
Cut into strips 10 inches wide and three
to five feet long. BY line drawn down
the center, and cross lines every four
inches. the doll is divided into sections,
each of which is TO be filed with six
to 10 kernel sample from an ear to be
tested. Select these kernels from differ
ent parts of the ear Number the ears to
correspond with the number of the sec
ton in which the kernels are to be
placed. Fold the outer edges of the
tester toward the center so that they
meet, roll the doll about a corn cob or
other cylindrical object, and tie. Soak
the doll for a few hours, drain off the ex-
cess moisture, and place II where 1t will
not dry out and will be subjected 10 a
good growing temperature. AT the end
of about five days the tests should be
ready for reading Ears terminating
so per cent or more should be saved for
seed This year it is well to retain all
ears showing termination of go per

HUGE TIMBER LOSS.
Forest Fires Burned Over $4,000 Acres
in National Forests.

Forest fires burned over $685. 900 acres
of national forest lands in 1917 and
caused loss OF 81 ,35s,600 TO the gov
eminent in timber, forage and young
growth according to figures compiled by
the forest service While the loss was
larger than for several years past, Off
cials say that, considering the unusually
dangerous conditions, it was remarkably
light. Protracted drouth and periods OF
high winds made the conditions, they de-
clare, virtually the same as IN 1910,
when many persons were burned to death
and S25 100000 worth of timber on the
national forests was destroyed.
In addition to the actual loss IN tim
Der and forage, the fires of last year en-
tailed extra expenditures by the govern
ment of sl,l2l .45l. This. it is pointed
out. means that to hold the fires down
large numbers of men have TO be with
drawn from productive work and much
money spent for supplies. At a time
like the present when il is necessary TO
practice the utmost economy as war
duty. the forest service officials are en-
phasizing the criminal wastetuness OF
forest fires that can be prevented from
starting.

agencies and could have been prevented.

Procrastination is the besetting sin
of parsons. For the last twelve or fif-
teen years we have published in every
Saturdays issue list of the church
services on the following Sunday. We
have always tried to publish these
notices on the second or third pages,
as they do not look well either on the
first or fourth pages. And, as the sec
ond and third pages must always be
made up before noon, we have faith
fully and patiently tried to impress
on the pastors of the various churches
that their notices should be sent in
early Saturday morning. We had them
all pretty well broken in until the
new Methodist preacher arrived last
month; then we had to work on him
week or two before he saw the light.
Last Saturday, however, the whole
bunch, except Brother Stephens, who
is almost good enough to be news
paper man himself, backslid on us,
and we had to hold up the second
page an hour, causing both US and
our young makeup to say damn sew
eral times apiece. Therefore, we give
warning, today, Thursday, that church
notices not in by II a. m. Saturday
are likely to be stuck off by their
lonesomes on the fourth page; and
this by the way applies to the fair
scribe who writes the program for the
Junior League and generally sends it
in about noon instead of two or three
hours sooner.
