There is no moral argument
against prohibition of the liz

settled state of worlds affairs
we believe there to be sane
economic reasons why prohi-

While America suffered
much at the hands of the arrO-
giant and ruthless German gov
ernment before being drawn
into the war to turn the scales
of victory, the outrages perpe-
trated. were of much shorter
duration of time. and %rratlV
less in numbers than those thai
the United States has suffer
ed from Mexico. Ever since
revolutions and hrigandagC
started in Mexico years ago,
American citizens have been
killed, or mistreatcd or robbed
or deprived of their property;
our borders have been invaded
by their outlaw bands time and
time again; our flag has been
ScOrncd: our government has
been mUc!ied: and every insult
and affront conceivable has
been hurled at us from across;
the Rio Grande. The latest of
fense is the deliberate robbery
of a boat load of American sail
Ors sent on Il mission from an
American vcssal under the Amer
lean flag. We believe the limit
has been reached, and that the
den of snakes across the river
should be dealt with once and
for all. by that same mailed fisl

career of the Worlds then

Be Useful in Peace.

Four Thousand Bushels Rejected From
10000 in One Section-Ego Crates
With Strawboard Cells
Used for Testing.

No, not munitiOn factory. Those
cylindrical objects lying in orderly
rows on shelves are not shrapnel, but
ears of corn. The slender filaments
that are being sorted so carefully are
not fuses, but sprouts. The girls so
busily at work before bench or box
are not handling picrates, but seed
corn.
The whole shows graphically how
one agent of the United States de-
partment of agriculture and the Mis-
souri, Agricultural college went about
making sure that the 1918 corn crop
would not fail the cause of world free
dom for lack of viable seed. 1t is
representative of what many county
agents. the country over, are doing
now, wherever occasion arises, to make
sure that the 1919 crop will not fail
for like reason.
What One County Saved.
These pictures show the central test
ing station established In February,
1918, by the county agent of Living
ston county. Missouri. In this, and in
eight local testing stations scattered
about the county, 1O.951 bushels of
corn were "ear tested" before corn
planting time came last spring. OF this
corn more than 1900 bushels were
thrown out us being unfit for planting
which means that 1000 bushels of
corn We're saved for feed. Otherwise,
it would have rotted in the ground,
making an equivalent replanting neces-
sary. More than 5000 bushels were
certified as being sure to give "A salts
factory percentage of termination.
In this instance egg crates. with
their little straw-board cells, were used
for testing-n somewhat novel method
that has found favor in some localities.
The kernels to be tested are planted in
the pasteboard cells, six grains from
an ear, and cell to each ear. After
crates are opened and the ears are
saved for seed or discarded, according
| to the percentage of termination
! shown by the corresponding kernels.
Each enr bas a number corresponding
| to that of the cell in which the sample
kernels taken from it are put for ger
mination. so 1t is easy to make the
final sorting.
Results Shown in Field.
Over thousand farmers brought
their seed corn to one or another OF
the nine testing stations established
In Livingston county last year. and
practically every field planted with
corn thus tested showed strong
stand.

RETURNS FROM TESTING

Testing seed corn for germina-
tion is the least expensive meth
cd of increasing the yield of
corn per acre.
Without seed testing. all other
means of increasing the yield
will fall short of what they
should accomplish.
The testing of seed corn by
any of the approved methods is
not difficult.
The time spent in testing seed
corn is likely to be paid for at
the time of planting and Is GER
tain to be paid for MANIFOLD at
harvest.
Corn that appears to be sound
does not always germinate. If
no test is made, considerable
quantities of sound-appearing
corn are likely to be planted only
to rot in the ground. If tested,
this corn would not be planted
and would serve all the purposes
of goods feed.
A field planted to tested seed
corn requires little or no replant-
ing. All plants have an even
start and develop evenly to a
fuller yield than where stunted
replantS are present.

Wherein the versemaker. in other
years and out of the desire of his
heart, pretty accurately outlined the
program for American farmers in the
good, peaceful year of 1919. The strife
is passed. The calmness is come. And
now the call is for return to grass
meadows and pasture lots and live
stock.
In the years of strife and stress
many farmers plowed up permanent
pastures and meadows and devoted
them to grain crops to meet the worlds
need for bread. Now that farming Is
to be restored to peace-time basis.
the United States department of agri-
culture says 1t seems wise that many
of these lands be reseeded to grass.
The signing of the armistice found
the United States well supplied with
foods, but comparatively short on
feeds, but with an urgent demand for
meat animals, in the production of
which feeds and pasturage are essen
tial.
The department of agriculture, of
course. does not urge abandonment of
profitable grain farming. but 1t points
out, in its survey of the 1919 situation.
that the sacrifice of grass lands and
the abandonment of rotation systems
in response to the world demnnd for
more cereals has resulted in deple-
tiOn of fertility which must be restored
by the re-establishment Of rotations

and live stock.

is the future saving that is assured
through the demonstration of the prac-
tical value of testing afforded by the
seed-corn campaign in the spring Of
