When Connecticut, In 1856, coded
her western lands to the United States,
she reserved a large tract adjoining
Pennsylvania, nov forming several
counties in the northeastern part Of
Ohio. From this the region anne to
be called "the Western Reserve" The
reservation by Connecticut only lasted
a few years, as In 1900 she completed
the transfer Of all the lands to the
United States. The Western Reserve
soon became famous for its good citi-
zenship, fine farms and determined op.
position to slavery.

Seed Wheat Cannot Be Held

The order requiring that all wheat
be marketed by May Is, means that
no wheat may be retained from the
present supply for spring planting
next year, according to an announ-
cement received by the state food adj
ministration from the national food
administration this week, and the
seed for next years crop must be OBJ
tanned from the crop grown this
year. This ruling was passed upon
by the national food administration,
at the request of many Minnesota
farmers who desired to hold over
sufficient seed from planting anoth-
er crop, thing they have done for
years previous to this.
The only exception to the sale of
wheat order applies to winter wheat.
Those who desire to plant winter
wheat this fall may retain seed for
the purpose. The reason for this.
the administration explains is that
it may be necessary to seed this
winter wheat crop before the seed is
available from the present crop, and
because a great deal of the last whit
er wheat crop is a total loss from
freezing.

Banks Help Buy Tractors

Federal reserve banks are to re-
discount notes secured by farm tract
ors, the United Sizes Department of
Agriculture announces. Instructions
have been issued by the Federal Re-
serve Board to all Federal reserve
banks authorizing them to rediscount
tractor paper presented by any mem
Der bank, provided it has maturity
not exceeding six months and the
tractors are purchased for agricul-
tural purposes.
This action of the Federal Reserve
Board, explains the department,
means that notes given for farm
tractors will be treated in the same
manner as other agricultural paper,
thus making 1t easier for farmers to
obtain tractors where needed.

Corn Seeding Calls for Care this Year


This year when seed corn is scarce
and much of it is weak in germinat-
ing power, it will be especially ad-
visable to put the seed bed in the
best possible conditions before plant
ing says Andrew Boss, vice director
of the Minnesota experiment station.
A few days delay in planting in the
early part of the season may be made
up by stronger growth in a suitable
seed bed.
Time should be taken to get man
ure on the corn land as manure
warns the soil besides enriching it.
The application Of good coat of
manure may add several bushels per
acre to the yield and it may also
hasten the maturity. >sE
Tillage before planting also warns
the soil and kills the weeds. 1t may
insure stand and hasten the growth
of the corn when planted
There is no seed corn to waste this
spring in planting. Tested seed only
should be planted and this at a time
when the soil and moisture condi-
lions are correct. 1t may be neces-
sary to plant seed that terminates
only Is or 80 per cent but if such
seed is planted it is doubly necessary
that the soil conditions be right and
that the planting be done at time
when conditions are favorable for the
termination and growth Of the corn.

LIVE STOCK SHOULD BE
PROFITABLE ON FARMS
Big Opportunity for Farmers Of West
Central Minnesota to Make
Money

The following report of P. S. Jor-
dan in charge of the animal husban-
dry department of the West Central
School of Agriculture shows what the
live stock have done at the school
in Morris and indicates that the keep
ing of live stock is a good investment
if handled right. The live stock de-
partment at the school made a good
profit last year and farmers should
do even better if they have their own
feed:
'In spite Of the high price of feeds
the live stock at the Station made a
splendid showing last year. That
good live stock will pay we'll is fully
demonstrated by last years showing,
as is also the fact that West Central
Minnesota offers a big opportunity for
successful live stock production of
all kinds. Outside of our hogs, our
fiocks and herds are not very large
though constantly increasing in size
Many farmers have a larger num-
Der of cattle and sheep than is owned
by the Station and should be reap
ing rich harvest from them.
cit is impossible at the present
time to give a detailed statement of
each branch of the department but
with the new system of accounts in
auguerated in this division this will
be possible in another year.
Taking the department as whole
1t will be a pleasant surprise to most
of most of you to know that the
profit above the cost of all feed and
labor was twenty-five hundred eigh-
ty eight dollars ($2288.OO) and
practically all the grain fed was
bought. Two men or it's equivalent
are employed the year round and an
extra man on quarter time during
the winter. These men do nothing
but look after the stock and keep
the barns and yards looking respect
able.
Since August LIST, last, we have
sold over four thousand dollars worth
of hogs alone. The remark is often
made by visitors that if they had the
state to pay the bills they could have
good stock and feed and house them
well. This excuse for not having
them will hardly hold water in the
face of the financial statement given
above. Not only has the farmer an
equal chance but a better one as lit
tie of his feed need be purchased and
his own labor charge would not be
so great, as considerable of our lab
or is spent unproductively in keep
ing the stock and barns presentable
to visitors. Good live stock and
plenty of it offer a big opportunity
to the farmer of West Central Min
nesota."

CAMPAIGN NOW ON TO
ERADICATE BARBERRY
Wheat Growing States United to
Kill Common Burberry and
Check Rust

e. G. Stakman, chairman of all the
wheat growing states in the barberry
eradication campaign, has recently
returned from trip to Indiana and
Illinois, where he has been reviewing
the work done. The state council Of
defense of Indiana has issued an APP
peal to the people Of tn estate to dig
out all common barberries. George
AIDE, the popular humorist, has been
chosen to do publicity work for Indi-
ana in the campaign. The governors
Of South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa and
Michigan, and probably Wisconsin
have designated Arbor Day as bar
berry eradication day.
Mr.. Stakman found that in Iowa a
unique method for calling the atten-
ton of the owners to barberries on
their property has been devised. Tags
about three inches by five, are hung
on the bushes as they are located.
Printed on them in red ink is the fol-
lowing notice: This bush is a
Kaiser Ally It's owner has been re-
quested by the council of defense and
the United States government to re-
move it Immediately" The boy
scouts have taken up the movement
and have literally tagged" the whole
country.
According to Dean E.. M. Freeman,
who heads the bafberry eradication
campaign in Minnesota, practically
all but two or three counties have
signified their intention through the
county superintendent of schools to
use school children in helping to To-
cate barberries, and, If possible, to
have them help in digging out the
bushes. Literature concerning the
barberry is being sent out to teachers
and it is hoped in this way to reach
5000 rural school teachers, and
about the same number in cities and
towns Seven or eight agents from
the central Office will be sent out in
to each county to organize county
campaigns. They will work through
the county directors Of the Public
Safety commission, through county
agents, through local papers, and
schools.
| Frank L. Brunkow, senior in the
college, is doing work in the barberry
eradication campaign in Wright and
lStearns counties. Mr.. Brunkow has
found that the people in these coun.
ties have done everything possible tx
eradicate the barberry in that dis
trict.

German militarist, which he said in
cluded practically every one on Ger
man soil. They have been led to be-
lieve that the Allied nations were the
aggressors in the conflict, and not on
ly soldiers, but civilians as well were
guilty of atrocious brutalities. He
claimed that any man having served
on the French battlefield is bound to-
have this, feeling.
!. Men wearing the American uni
form, he declared, will be honored
by the whole world. 1t will make
no difference how many divisions the
kaiser places in the field, with the
United States in the fray the allies
are bound-to win the day.
Here the speaker gave detailed
description of the tortures of gas
poisoning, the sufferings Of the
wounded, etc., and said that in one of
the allies cemeteries in France there
are 100000 little roughly-hewn
crosses which tell but partial tale
of the destruction of human life
The story, he said, that the boys
were drunk in the trenches is dam
snable lie-they did not receive even
sufficient spirituous liquor to aid di-
gestion. AS to the use of tobacco on
the battlefront, he declared that, with
the nauseous smells arising from de-
composing bodies, which it is some
10 1,,vx
days, the weed is necessary, despite
the rawlings of long-faced pietists to
the contrary.
He covered the charging of the ma
chine gun batteries with fixed bayon
cts and the heroic work accomplished
by the allies in cleaning out the nests
of this sort of ordinance in No Mans
Land.
The loss Of his leg, he said, was
due to fracture by a dumdum bull
let, and added that he is ready to go
back and lose the other leg, or even
his life, for the cause Of humanity
and liberty of the nations.
He praised the Red Cross nurses
who are caring for the wounded sol
diers, saying that, Notwithstanding
their arduous duties, they are always
cheerful and labor continuously to
ameliorate the suffering Of their
charges. They are real angels OF
mercy" he said.
He gave President Wilson and
Lloyd George praise for the stand
they have taken in the war and said
they were two of the greatest men
in the world.
Not all Germans are pro-enemy
said the sergeant. Beware some OF
the neutrals many Of whom buy
Liberty bonds and hide behind the
stars and Stripes they are helping
the kaiser. But German enemies and
all other enemies Of the United

be shot or put under lock and key.
