Sample of Beans Unfit for Planting
Purposes.

against these losses regardless of the
weather conditions. The understood,
shriveled, irregular, and cracked beans
do not terminate well and their remov-
al will help TO secure uniform stand.
No chances should be taken with the
1913 crop. Only the very best seed
available should be used.
Test termination.
termination tests should be made to
determine what percentage of the seed
will grow. Follow the method COM
monty employed for testing the ger
mination of corn. The seeds may be
laid between moist blotters or folds OF
cloth placed in a shallow dish, COW
cred with a plate and kept in warm
room; or they may be planted in sand
or SOIL
If the termination Is poor, the fact
must be taken into account when de-
Gliding upon the rate Of planting, in or
der to insure a good stand. 1t is very
important that seed be tested this
year, since early frosts in the fall of
1917 prevented the crop from matur-
ing properly in some of the principal
bean-growing sections of the country
A failure TO do SO may result in q
poor stand and much reduced yield.

SALT CORN TO RETARD HEAT
Acts Not Only as Preservative but Aids
in Drawing Out Water Which
Then Evaporates.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
Owing TO the large amount Of soft
corn that was harvested last fall, spe-
cial care should be given to prevent
it from heating in the crib. Corn that
has already been cribbed without sort
ing should be worked over during
weather unfit for husking This is es-
pecially true If stored In large cribs
without special ventilation. Corn in
large, broad cribs freezes during the
winter months and while frozen APP
pears TO be dry. Investigations, how
ever, have shown that corn In such
cribs dries out little until the weather
begins to warm up in the spring. With
the excessive moisture in the soft,
frosted, and immature corn 1t is prac-
tically certain that there will be FUR
Their spoilage and heating of the soft
corn as the weather warns up.
The sailing of ear corn in cribs will
retard and in many cases prevent heat
ing. The salt acts not only as pre-
sentative but aids in drawing the water
from the corn. which then evaporateS
II the corn is stored in well-ventilated
cribs so that the cir can circulate free
" through il. The United States has
carried on no special experiments with
salted corn, but the quantity OF salt
recommended ranges from one TO two
barrels per 1000 bushels of corn. This
condition. however. will not apply TO
shelled corn stored in elevator bins
where a free circulation of air through
the corn is impossible. Shelled corn

Good Method Outlined.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture.)
Bean anthracnose and blight are
carried over from year TO year in the
seed. The most effective method to
reduce the amount of disease, accord
ing TO the United States department Of
agriculture, is by manipulating the
seed very carefully before planting.
This will eliminate most of the spot
ted, discolored, shriveled, understood,
and cracked beans, and does a great
deal toward insuring uniform stand.
A termination test of the seed will in
dicate whether a good stand is likely
to result This work should be done
during the winter months when work
is slack and before the spring rush
begins.

GERMANS IN RETREAT
French cavalrymen Are Driving Huns
Northeast of Noyon.


Northeast of Noyon.
With the French Army in France,
Sept 5.-French cavalry were closely
pursuing the Germans retreating in
the region between the river Somme
and the river Disc and had reached
point within mile of Guiscard, five
and half miles northeast of Noyon.
Further to the south the French are
advancing toward Crisolies.
North of the Ailette the French are
in the outskirts Of Coucy lie Chateau
and have reached Buoy lie Long on the
Aisne, besides scoring other advances
on the plateau north of scissors.
Between Scissors and Rheims the
Vesle was crossed at several points.
Numerous confiagrations were OBJ
served during the night between the
EesIe and the Aisne. Such fires us
ually are rather sure sign Of with
drawal by the enemy.
The most violent reaction attempted
by the Germans along the line of the
French advance was in the region of
Terny Sorry. where they copiously
shelled the French first lines.
The transformation of the military
situation resulting from the success
of the entente counter-offensive now
is beginning to appear in all signifi-
canoe The Germans, failing in their
July Is drive. were able TO carry out
a retreat. which, although costly, did
not result in the dislocation of the
Nnes. Now, however, their battle
front is 80 badly pinched in some
places and strained at others that they
are unable to continue the stand they
had taken on the strong positions in

Chicago, Sept. 5.-Stephane Lau-

"Germanism is the kaiser issuing in

days, and exclaiming in 1915: God
knows what I have not done to pre-
vent such war
"Germanism is all the hypocrity, all
the wickednesS, all the frightfuIness
that we meet in the world
"Germanism is all the horrors, all
the atrocities, all the crimes that we
have witnessed In this war
He said that France had lost 1000
600 men killed and another million
were crippled, but that the nation was
by no means bled white In 1914, he
= said, there were 100000 Frenchmen
in the field and French factories were
making 1900 shells q day. Now
there are 2,700000 Frenchmen ar the
front and 100000 shells day are be-
