Good Boy, Disque!

BY putting their trust unreservedly in Col. Disque
and Uncle Sam the loggers and mill workers of the
Northwest get:
Ten hours pay for eight hours work.
Time and half for overtime
Free blankets.
Better housing and sanitary conditions in the
camps.
Col. Disques achievement since he, stranger
came to the Northwest to direct spruce production
a short time ago, is little short of miraculous.
He has taken the spruce industry away from the
operators-and made them like it!
He has instituted the eight-hour day, which the
operators had vowed they would never accept.
He has persuaded labor to accept him on faith.
And, finally, he has created spirit of loyalty
and patriotism in the spruce industry which, if it
endures, makes strikes other delays in spruce
production unlikely.
Col. Disque has faced strange hard task I'M
flinchngly. Now that the work is we'll under way
and the spruce trains are moving eastward, let us
keep them moving unendingly, to the end that the
sky over the German lines may be dark with Ameri-

ANSWERS eyN7n11 GREY

Dear Miss Grey: Just line
on the talk Of the last kiss Of
our noble and brave boys of our
beloved America. Let us ask
our sons, IL such thing should
be, that they return to us
blind or crippled, who would
take them to her heart and
give her all for them? As all
true mothers, have done, and
always will do. who taught
them to talk and walk, and
brought them thru boyhood to
our dear men in arms? Once
again should they need their
mother to teach or help, she
will be true to her boy. l only
wish l had a son old enough to
go. Just think, to be a mother
of an American soldier!
In all the world altho you break
The tender heart of others
There is no heart can ever ache
for you
Like that Of mother.
In all the world altho a wife
May you in goodness smother,
There's none who'll sacrifice a
life
For you as quick as mother.
MARY.

cUKN UshUP INSURANCE.. =

While good seed does not insure
the corn crop except to q certain eX-
tent, yet it is the first factor that linz
its it and means much to the plant
Ter Without good seed corn, we can
not expect good stand of plants,
and with poor stand of plants, we
may expect poor yield to other con-
! ditions may be favorable.
Maturity of seed corn is considera-
IDLY over half its worth; proper matu-
rity meaning strong termination.
y Early varieties of field corn under
proper conditions may mature ON the
standing stalk and make first class
seed corn, however in the majority of
instances corn should have some ar
tificial drying. We should gather it
before it is fully dry, and care for il
properly.
But even then we cannot be sure of
Il good yield unless we test our vi
tally of the seed. The corn may have
been immature when gathered, it may
have been too damp in storage or any
: one of number of other things MAY
have weakened its vitality, unknown
to the planter. An actual test is the
only way to be sure that the seed
is good. This year the chances are
against us that our seed is strong and
just at time when we must be more
sure than ever that it will produce
to the maximum.
Suppose fifty per cent of our seed
did not grow. and this is not an un
common case where no TESTING IS
done. This would cut yield of fifty
bushels down to twenty-five. At a
dollar bushel that means twenty
five dollars an acre less than might
have been expected. The cost Of pro-
ducing the crop was just as great
for the poor yield as it would have
been for the good one. The cost of
listing would have been very little
and it could nave been done ut time
when other work was light.
The day Of guesswork in selecting
seed is past. When the world is de-
pending on the farmer for every
pound he can produce carelcssncss in
such an important matter as seed Sc
lection ard testing is ineXcusabc.-.
