ers of the county, as much smutty
wheat is being delivered to them this
fall. Smutty wheat cannot be used
for -four without first being washed
and secured. Smut reduces yield and
brings less per bushel. The Tornado
hyde treatment is best for smut. At
ter tanning to remove the smut balls,
the wheat should be thoroughly sprink-
led with solution Of ! pint of 40 per
cent formaldehyde to 80 gallons of
water. After thoroughly moistening
every kernel by shoveling the grain as
is is being sprinkled, cover with can
vas or wet sacks for two or three
hours. Spread wheat out in a thin
layer over the floor to dry as quickly
as possible. 1t requires a gallon of
the solution to properly sprinkle one
bushel of wheat. Drilling should be
a trifle thicker, due to little swelling
of some kernels. There is much good
winter wheat'se in the county. How
ever, If our demand is greater than
the supply, good clean Turkey Red or

Any farmer needing seed should write
or phone County Agent Quist. Farm
ers and elevators will not hold their
wheat long. The risk and expense in

higher priced later in the season than
now.
To insure good crop Of alfalfa, soil
should be inoculated, advises the soils
department of Iowa State college. In
order to get best results with alfalfa,
1T is necessary for certain desirable
bacteria to be growing in the soil that
aid in extracting nitrogen from the
air This bacteria may be added by
scattering soil from field that is al
ready inoculated, or it may be added
through the treatment of the seed with
commercial cultures. Both methods
are satisfactory when carried out ac-
.cording to directions. With the soil
transfer methods, about 300 to 500
pounds of the inoculated soil is scat
tered over each acre of the field to be
seeded and then disked in thoroughly
at once. Inoculated soil should not
be allowed to remain exposed to heat
and light, but should be mixed with
the surface soil Immediately. The de-
sirable bacteria are rather readily
killed by exposure to the sun. The
soil should be from field of alfalfa
or sweet clover-but not any other le-
gume field. 1t must be well inoculat-
ed. This can. be told by the large
number of lnodules on the roots. 1t

INDIVIDUAL ALLOTMENTS FOR
IOWA COUNTY

An enthusiastic meeting of the Local
Chairman of the Iowa County Liberty
Loan Committee was held at the Court
House in Dodgeville on March 22nd.
Every town, city and village in the
county was represented and the spirit
manifested was such as to indicate that
Iowa county will over subscribe its
allotment in the Third Liberty Loan.
T. M. Priestley presided at the meet
ing and W. S. Egan acted as secretary.
The work for the coming Liberty Loan
Campaign was outlined In considerable
detail, but the most important action
was in regard to individual allotments.
By the unanimous vote of the meeting
it was decided that a committee of five
apportion Iowa county's allotment
among the respective towns, villages
and cities and that, then, the Local
Chairman should apportion the amount
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1918-03-28

allotted to each community among the
residents of the community in accord
ance with the net worth of the various
individuals.
The basis of this plan is the slogan
"Your Share is Fair Every resident
of Iowa county will be personally solic-
tied and will be expected to subscribe
for the amount of bonds that is assigned
to him by his local committee. The alb
solute fairness of this plan will appeal
to every citizen who believes in the
principle that the burdens of the war
ought to be born by all the people and
not by the few.
The exact amount apportioned to
Iowa county has not been decided upon
but as soon as it is the apportionment
will be made and every citizen will soon
learn what his share is.

STRONG PATRIOTIC LECTURE

Clinton N Howard of Rochester, N.
Y, delivered a very able lecture in
Municipal Theatre Tuesday night.
Although he spoke in the interest Of the
dry campaign in Mineral Point, his
words were not directed merely against
the liquor traffic, but against everything
else that lowers the moral and material
power of the government. The war
must be won by America and her allies
or the terrible conditions which prevail
in Belgium, France and other European
countries will prevail here. The speaker
said that he had faith in the people;
that he was not going to speak Of cor
rupt town Or corrupt nation The
great majority Of people are loyal and
true, and when aroused to their danger
will, as in the past, wipe out evils which
stand athwart the path of human pro-
gress. He condemned the use of grain
for the manufacture of liquor while the
cry of America and her allies is for
bread. In closing, the speaker strongly
urged his hearers to invest in Liberty
Bonds and War Savings Stamps. He
said that he had two sons in the y. S.
army, and he had a right to plead for
support of the government in the pros
ecution of the war
The speaker was introduced bv Rev.
G. W. Emery. The lecture was most
comprehensive one, and proved the
speaker to be a fearless, outspoken
patriot, and great student of history.

WAR SAVINGS SOCIETIES
BY GEORGE CRAWFORD

The National War Savings Committee has pro-
vded for the organization Of War Savings Societies
throughout the United States. These societies
have three-fold purpose
l. '"To awaken realization among men, women
and children of America that in their hands lies
the key to the successful prosecution Of the war.
2. "To lay the foundation for thrift and economy,
and to bring home to the people the fact that intel
Egent and consistent saving is the most vital step
toward personal success.
3. "To obtain for the government large
amount of money through the sale of Thrift Stamps
and War Savings Stamps--little Government
bondsthe safest and best investment i'll the world,
and at the same time provide method by which
the small investor may put his savings at the I'M
mediate service of his country"
It is to be hoped that the people of Iowa county
will do everything in their power to further the
plan outlined above. Secretary Of the Treasury
McAdoo points out that if every school child III the
United States will invest Is cents a week III Gov
ernment Thrift Stamps, the Treasury will have
Sc, 900 900 week. or $780, 900, 900 year, to help
pay the cost of the war. Every school should have
at least one War Saving Society. The offering Of
War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps encourages
thrift and teaches patriotism It implies that every
man, woman and child has part in the affairs of
government, and should, by curtailing needless
pendtures, aid the country in its time Of need.
Let the people of Iowa county gladly respond to
their country's call and help to win the The
temporary sacrifices which those who remain at
home are called upon to make, nothing
compared to the sacrifices Of the boys who are
lover there at the front, ready to shed their fes
blood that freedom may not perish from the earth
Those who have abundance must give freely Of
that abundance aud those who have little must
give of that little.
