RepIant Missing Hills.


In some corn-growing sections 1t Is
the practice to replant missing hills as
soon as the corn is up to stand.
Frequently this Is done by dropping
kernels by hand and covering with
hoe. A labor-saving and quicker
method would be the use of small hand
planters. These could be used to adj
sections where comparatively small
areas are planted and where 1t Is at
present the custom to drop the corn
by hand and cover with the hoe.
1t is the practice in some localities
to plant a much larger number of
kernels than the number of stalks
desired and to thin to the desired
stand when the corn plants are about
six to eight inches tall. This method
may be satisfactory where plenty of
labor is available, but where 1t Is de-
sirable to economic labor it would be
advisable to plant tested seed at about
the same rate as the stand desired and
do no thinning.
A more general use of efficient har-
vesting machinery would permit
more economical use of labor. A corn
binder with an attachment for elevat-
ing the bundles of corn into wagon
should he used much more extensively
than it is for harvesting ensilage corn.
There is also on the market machine
that converts the corn into ensilage
in the field, elevating it into a wagon,
from which it is sucked or lifted into
the silo. The use of either of these
machines, especially the latter, would
do away with the necessity Of much
laborious work.

election of practically the whole for

to me is that of Martov, the leader of
Mcnshivika, though it is my rccollcc-
ton that this party Of opposition was
allowed representation.
"Martov is an able writer, was as
sociated with Trotzky in his Paris
journalistic venture, but was supposed,
to have split with him in Russia The
evidence that he is still agreeable to
Germany is pertinent. Madame Kol-

was the commssar of public welfare.

aganda in February, but did not get
beyond Scandinavia and later returned
to- Russia Kameneff, who went out of
Russia with Kolontai, also sought to
return, but was arrested by the Fin
nish White Guards (not the Gcrmans)

was the subject Of negotiations. He
is Trotzky's brother-inlaw. Sverdlov

for war fund of $75O,OOO to be
used for the welfare of Lutherans
who are in the military of the United

The first allotment of Minnesota
was 100000 and then it was de-
cided to raise it to $150,00O, but
the state Lutherans even went over
the 100000 mark, making a re-
markable record. One congregation
of 800 in the state subscribed over
$4,000.
The Lutherans of Bemidji met a
ready response to their solicitations,
the various wards of the city being
canvassed by specially appointed
committees. OF the total amount
collected, s12.O5 was raised in Sol

With the colors in France there
are 10000 Lutherans and thou
