I'M. R. Benedict, County Agent

Every person desiring seed corn
or seed grains for this years

Earth County Farm bureau of his
needs as soon as possible. Blanks
for stating the seed needs are being
placed in every rural school in the
country, and can be secured from
there. Every effort will be made to
secure the amount of seed needed,
and to arrange for cooperative buy
ing wherever possible.
We also desire that every farmer
who has seed to sell or has crib
corn that may grow, will notify this
office; whether he cares to select
and test it himself or not. 1t will
be an advantage both to him and to
his neighbors to do so.

Nearly One Hundred Near
Madelia Sign Statement
OPPOSED TO MEETINGS
Claim TiIlerS of Soil Are Not
In Need of Non-Party
Organization
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
One hundred farmers living in the
vicinity of Madelia have issued con-
demnatory statement OF the National
Non-Partisan league and expressing
their opposition to the league solicit
ing members in Watonwan county
also the attempt to hold meetings in
that county.
The statement goes on to say:
1--WE endorse the action of the Com
mercial clubs of Madelia aud st.
James, and of the War Board of the
county, in their action prohibiting this
league holding meetings in Watonwan
War Board.
I'VE recognize that our country is
at war; that this war is the greatest
war ever known; that the citizens of
this country will be called upon to
make great sacrifices; that an indis-
penSable requisite to the successful
prosecution and winning of this war
by the United States is unity of &C
ton of all it's citizens. We condemn
the National Non-Partisan league, its
officers, organizers and solicitors, be-
cause they seek to array class against
class, and man against man; and be-
cause they seek to prevent this unity
of action, so essential to this import
ant period. The fact that this organ
ization and its agents pretend to be
ultra-patriotic, and do their work in
an adroit and subtle manner, does not
lessen the nefarious character of their
work.
Can Wait End of War.
"The farmers, like all other classes
of citizens, are suffering no ills which
cannot wait until the termination of
the war; and we as farmers censure
in severe terms any organization or
any person who advocates to the con-
trary. We object to this league as
Stunning to act and speak for the farm
ers; we repudiate the league and its
tactics. The farmers of this vicinity
have never called for such an organ
ization, and are not in need of such
an organization, and refuse to well
come this league.
"In short, let it not be forgotten, but
kept in mind, that the, National Nom
Partisan league brought into this
state to address a large mass meeting
in st. Paul last fall, one Robert M.
LaFollette, senator from Wisconsin,
who had, prior to that time, to the
knowledge of all, delivered what was
regarded by many as traitorous
speeches in the United States senate;
that LaFollette at the mass meeting
in question delivered one of the most
traitorous and disloyal speeches to
which utterances has been given in the
United States since this country has
been engaged in war with Germany
And let it not be forgotten, but kept
ever in mind, that to this day the Of
ficers of the National Partisan
league have failed to repudiate or
condemn this reasonable speech.
For these, and other reasons, i'm
possible to enumerate here, we dis
approve, repudiate and condemn the
National Non-Partisan league"

KANSAS WHEAT CROP
LIKELY To Be LARGE
That State Will Answer the Cry
Of the Big World For
Food
UNITED Press Dispatch

Topeka, Kan, March 12.-Kansas
will answer the cry of the world for
food this year, by contributing mil
lions of bushels of wheat to be do
led out to America, the allies and
the few remaining neutrals.
Despite reported threats of re-
duced acreage if higher prices were
not fixed for the 1918 crop, the best
information obtainable indicates the
appeal to the patriotism of the
farmers made by President Wilson
in his announcement of the wheat
price schedule will meet with an
overwhelming response from the
wheat growing sections. Last year,
Kansas farmers sowed 100000
acres of wheat. Only about 100000
to adverse weather conditions-and
the net yield was approximately
forty million bushels. An equal, if
not greater acreage, which seems
assured, will yield much greater
crop, with fair weather conditions
this year.
The Kansas state defense council,
anticipating the laboring needs of
the farmers, is rapidly mobilizing
the ''boy power of the state to
meet the deficiency caused by en-
listment and the draft. Through the
country councils, Boys Working
Reserve'-designed to include every
youth too young to serve the colors,
but anxious to participate in the
truggle for democracy is being
