an ear test the agent will select
samples from same, number the ears
and have the farmer take them back
home. In addition to this work,
which will be carried on at the Coun-
ty seats, campaign will be made
through the schools of the county
and children will be asked to bring
corn from home to be tested under
the supervision Of the teachers.
County Superintendent j. B. Cay
wood, of Bourbon County, has receiv-
ed-an order from Chicago firm for
eighty seed corn testers and one or
more of these will be given to each
school and number retained in his
office, where he and his staff of help
ers, assisted by Emergency Demon
stration Agent, L. S. Robbins, for a
period extending from March LIST to
such a time as the work shall have
been accomplished.
1t is earnestly desired by the Gov
eminent that each county will test
hundreds of bushels of seed corn dur
| ing this period. 1t will mean a saw
| ing of thousands of dollars to eacn
county, both from the standpoint OF
saving purchase money of seed corn
and crop termination. But few
! farmers realize the seriousness of the
situation. The seed corn situation
! is probably the most serious thing
that confronts the farmer and the
American people to-day. A large
crop of corn is absolutely necessary
if we are to continue the war to 9
| victorious conclusion. The northern
! part of our corn belt has practically
no seed corn. The farmer south will
not be able, on account of climatic
conditions, to furnish seed corn foi
the north that will produce nor
NAL crop. So it behooves us moi
/ only to select seed corn for ourselves
but, for the purpose of helping tt
save our country, to also select some
that we can sell to our northern
| brother. A failure in the corn crol
of 1918 will be an internationa
calamity.
Farmers of Bourbon County are
therefore, requested to bring sample
of their seed corn as soon as posi-
BILE to the County Superintendent
office for a termination test. The.
are requested to bring the corn in tn
ear. This work will be done free o
charge.
Any farmer who does not have hi
seed tested this year will, in al
probability, have an utter failure Il
his corn crop.
Let us have your corn samples i'm
mediately.

FORECASTS ON ELECTION

How are election results To no foro
cast this year? In both the county and
state, it will be impossible to relv. with
any particular degree of accuracy on
results of the last election. in order 70
determine the probable choice of the neo.
pie this fall of persons for public If.

In Idaho county, for instance. tbe
situation is vastly different from wba,
it was two years ago. when the popula.
ton was undisturbed by war. II is pc.
timated that at least 500 men have gone
from Idaho county into the service of
their country, while many families have
removed from the county
Precincts which normally are RepubH-
can, this year, through sheer lack of
numbers of voters, may be Democratic
and the opposite may hold true in other
precincts. One cannot base conclusions
on the outcome of the present campaion
on results of the past, unless he NAV ex-
pect to be much disappointed. And
again, public opinion has experienced
remarkable change, brought about bv
the war, during the last year and a half
The change in public opinion, and the
determination of the American voter
that the candidate for whom he shall
vote shall be loyal, beyond the shadow
of a doubt, will have much to do with
the outcome of the election Two years
ago, the question of loyalty to the Stars
and Stripes did not arise. 1t was pre-
sumed that all American citizens were
loyal. 1t would indeed be a happy state
of affairs, if this presumption could be
held today, but experience has taught us
and for that reason the
American voter is awake to the great
trust with which he is possessed in ex
ercising the franchise.
With the question of loyalty on every
mind, with hundreds of soldiers gone
from the county and thousands from
the state, and with possible decrease {
in population, one really has no criterion
upon which to forecast election results,
except, perhaps, in a few particular
cases, wherein the candidacy of one
person so completely overshadows that

EXPEDITION TO SIBERIA

/ Sovereignty of Russia will not be i'm
paired by the joint action of the Ameri
can and Japanese governments an send
ing troops to the Siberian port of Via
divostok. Purpose of the expedition i,
to assist the Czecho -Slovak, OF anti
bOlshiviki Russian forces, against the
encroachments of the Germans and Aus
TRANS, consisting chiefly of armed
bodies of Teutonic prisoners of war, aid
ed by bolshiviki, who have arisen
against that portion of the Russians
loyal to the allied cause.
Purpose of the American-Jap ex-
petition is purely one of helpfulness in
the establishment of Russian on a
firm economic and military basis, in
hope that the nation can be uplifted
from chaos and despair.
Extent of the military expedition is
unannounced by either of the govern
ments concerned, but it is presumed that
the japanese force, by reason of proxi-
nifty to the field of operations, will be
much larger than that sent across the
Pacific to Siberia by the American gov
eminent.
Decision of the America and Japanese
governments for joint operation in
Siberia surely will dispel any thoughts
which may have existed in the minds of
some of the American people as to the
feelings and motives of Japan toward
the United States. Fairness of Japan
in its operations in Sibe~a is given en-
phasis in the government openly pledg
ing itself to ultimately withdraw its
troops from Russian territory and leave
Russian sovereignty unimpaired.

CHANGING LOCATIONS

Great activity in war industries has
created a very extraordinary demand
for labor in all centers where war sup
plies are manufactured. High wages,
paid in the war plants, have attracted
thousands of persons from small towns
and the country to the cities.
The population of certain cities in the
United States has, since the outbreak
of the war, increased at an astonishing
rate. An acute shortage of labor has
boosted wages. High wages, together

with short work days. have been res
ponsible for the influx to the cities OF
the thousands from the smaller cities
the towns and the rural districts.
The performance of work in ship
yards, munitions plants and the like is
patriotic, and highly eommendable.
But the emigration from the small towns
and cities to the centers of population
has reached such an extent as to be
alarming. A marked shortage of labor
exists in the harvest fields and. if the
war continues, the sowing of next year s
crop will be done under unusual diff
culties, because of lack of men. Coupl-
ed with the loss by emigration, there is
the loss of men who enter the military
| service. Because of the shortage, the
government is taking steps to check the
increasing migration of labor
And there is another light in which to
look at the situation. 1t is with respect
to the advantage or disadvantage to

his family on a train and hikes to the /
city in search Of what he believes will /
prove a better job than the one that he
left.
1t should be borne firmly in mind |
that conditions at the present time are
far from normal. The unusually heavy
demand for labor in certain industries,
high wages, and the like, will not al
ways continue Immediately the de-
mand for men is less than the supply.
exorbitant wages viii not prevail Men
who are not needed will be discharged.
1t is no more than natural that the man
who before the war was a resident of
the city in which he is employed, will
be the man who will be retained in en-
ployment, while the man who was dis
content in his home town, and rushed
to the city to take advantage of the
high wages, will be the man who will
lose out
The federal government has assumed
;harge of the distribution of labor. The
government will see that labor is sup.
Piled first to the industries most essen
tial, and secondly to those of lesser
Importance. Therefore, it would seem
hat, before making an impulsive rush
to the city, it would be well to give the
natter second thought.
