SEED CORN
is FEARED
Urge Banks and Council Of Defense 10
Take Matter Up With Farmers;
Action Imperative

A letter has been received by AL
ger Melton. chairman Of the Grady
County Council Of Defense, from Asa
h. Ramsey. of the Federal Reserve
bank, of Kansas City calling atten-
ton to the serious shortage of seed
corn which exists in the northern
and central states and urging thar
some action be taken by the bank
ers and business men of the various
localities to take up the matter with
tho farmers either personally or
through the Council of Defense and
see that every precaution possible
is taken to supply all farmers with
seed corn
g'he letter follows:
AN extremely serious seed short
age is threatened in the spring and
without immediate action the corn
acreage will be greatly reduced, IT
is of the utmost Importance that
every bank and member Of The Coun-
eli OF Defense take up this question
1T once with the farmers
"From reliable information l am in
formed that only about 20 per cent
of the corn crop in Minnesota will
germinate and out of the entire crop
cnly about per cent would be con
sidered first class seed corn in other
years. The shortage is acute in
North Dakota; not quite so bad IN
South Dakota and Wisconsin but in
all the northwestern states the seed
value of all the corn, except that
which has already been selected dried
and stored is growing less day by
day because of increased damage by
mold and dampness In Iowa. Hi
nois and Nebraska the corn Is soft
and a limited amount of seed only
Will be available from those states.
Northeast Missouri is putting on an
extensive campaign financed by the
bankers in tha, section to get good
seed corn and in quantity suff:-
cient for it's needs. Hundreds o.
bushels are being inspected b.
school children so that when planting
time comes they will be ready.
There seems to he little prospect
OF obtaining seel enough fer spring
planing unless ezra farmer, indt
y.duaiiy, will immediately sort all
the com on hand ard pick out all
good ears. These should be carefully
dried and then tested for germina'
ton. In the states mentioned it has
become apparent during the last
three weeks that many ears that
locked very promising for seed hayo
been ruined by mold and win not
germinate. Therefore, an urgent ne
cessity exists for termination test
cs each car selected
This situation is alarming and
should be given your most serious at
tention. You should talk and en-
courage the testing of spring seed
and Immediately call meetings to dis
cuss the situation and solve the
needs of your community. You
should get into communication with
so'ne good reliable seed supply house
and Il necessary finance the bring
inc in OF sufficient quantity to be

conserve their supply of corn; other
wise, they viii be buying it back a
little later at an increased price

OAK First for Tablss.

Oak was the wood first used in
tables then walnut came into general
use in the middle Of the seventeenth
century. An early form of table was
the chair table. convenient because II
served the purpose Of a scat when the
top was lifted and stood against the
side Of the room. But gradually the
table took its present form and use.
II became the custom to iehre the

moving both. and il time the piece Of

BUSY DAY FOR ALL
WHO ENTER SERVICE
OF UNITED STATES.
Geo. A. Bangs Speaks at the
Court House About
Great War.
NEW SOLDIERS SEE
SHOW AT THE GRAND
Banquet to be Given at Ma
sonic Temple-Train
Leaves at 7:45.

Although 1t is no longer an unfa-
miliar sight to see the men Of the city
and county leaving their homes for
training camps in distant parts Of
America. and with the battlefields Of
France and Flanders as their ultimate
destination, a peculiar thrill makes
itself felt upon each new occasion.
That thrill required today when about
ninety young men Of this city and
from various towns. throughout the
county reported at the court house,
that they were ready for service in
the military ranks of the United
States.
Tonight when the train pulls out
with this additional contingent Of the
city's and county's manhood, the
thrill will come, back with renewed
force, and. 1t will once more be
brought home to every man, woman
and child in Grand Forks that when
the. country lis at war, this city also
is at war, and that it is ready to offer
the best 1t has for the sole object of
resisting the menace that has en-
croached upon the freedom of all
and the fields of the county the men
will 60 out to join those who have
gone before, and they will realize that
the effects of the war are to be felt
not merely by themselves. but by, all
their relatives and friends, by the
entire community.
But there is no whining, no COM
PLANT. 1t was possible to observe to-
day the existence Of a certain sub
dued enthusiasm which. of course. did
not ascend to the stage of excite
ment. IT was also possible for the
observant to detect in the miens and
the pastures of the young men who
go away an iniexible will to fulfill
the mission upon which they are to
be sent out. -
Among those who accompanied
sons and brothers to the court house
fourished the hope that some day
they will come blackstone day these
men will march down the streets of
Grand Forks with the Star Spangled
Banner flying and the bands playing
the stirring marches of victory.
Arc Now Members Of Army.
The events of a busy day began at
10 o'clock this morning when the
men who leave for Camp Dodge to-
night, assembled for roll call in the
farmers room Of the court house.
County Auditor Hans Anderson.
who is chairman Of the local draft
board, delivered a brief speech in
which he reminded the men that
from now on they were members of
the United States army and that
strict obedience wa demanded from
them. Mr.. Anderson then an
nounced that the next roll call would
take place at the court house at 2
o'clock. %
Attorney Geo. A. Bangs sped the
men on their way with an address

Her ambassador, ministers, con-
suls, with an impudence and hardi-
hood unparalleled. fostered and To-
mented treason and sedition, insti-
gated labor disturbances and en-
couraged crimes and violence, both
among our own people and against
the nations with which we were at
peace; our communities were filled
with spies, passports were forged and
factories, docks. warehouses, and
buildings were blown up and burned
and destroyed.
Garages and fuel in ships were
filled with dynamite and bombs to
explode at sea, killing the crews and
passengers and destroying our COM
merce.
."But it was in the submarine war
fare that Germany displayed her most
contemptuous disregard of. our rights
as we'll as the rights of all neutrals
and which finally became unendur-
able
Mr.. Bangs concluded by calling at
tention to the tasks which await
American soldiers at the front, and
said thai nothing less than a glorious
and triumphant victory would be
satisfactory.
Banquet at 5 O'Clock.
Shortly after 5 o'clock this evening
a banquet will be given at the Ma
sonic temple in honor Of the men who
leave tonight. and on this occasion,

me from other. parts of the state.
and the local men will then entrain
while Finley's Kilties band furnishes
the farewell music.
sY- Booth on Train.
When the men get aboard the train
they will not be allowed to feel that
they have been forgotten by the folks
at home. for it has been arranged
to place a Y. NJ. C. A.. booth in one of
the cars. Over the booth a sign with

briefly the history OF the countries
principally involved in. the universal
confict. and pointed out the moral
deprivation which characterized Ger
man diplomacy in its dealings with
Belgium, as well as with the Lusi-
tania tragedy.
Gradually Mr.. Bangs pointed out
how the actions of the war-mad
Tcuton rulers finally became intoler-
able to the rest OF the world, and
then said: T"
Wasted Respect for TreadeA
"our country as a nation had no,
direct interest in any controversy be-
tween Germany and Belgium, but u
country, as we'll as all other neutrals,
had a direct interest in the observa-
ton and fulhllment Of treaty obliga-
lions by all beligerents for this vas
a matter very vital to our " well
fare and existence, as well as the
safety of our people. We had com
mercial treaties declaring and pros
tecting our right to carry on COM
merce with all Of the nations at wal
and we were deeply concerned in any
denial or reputation Of the rights of
neutral, either upon he land Or sea,
and It was at once apparent to all,
thoughtful men. that II Germany re-
garded all treaties as mere scraps of
paper that she had declared war
against all mankind and that sooner
or later we must inevitably become
involved.
Through some intellectual astiga-
tism, the war-mad rulers OF the
German nation became obsessed
with the belief that through savagery,

and liquid fire upon the battlefield;

combined to teach the world hat its
safety lay alone in German defeat
and the wrenching from the hands Of,
the Prusian military %autocracy of all
power to do further harm.

act Of %depravity and all of them
seemed more wanton malevolence.
