The question OF dealing with Rus

the fore simultaneously in france,
Great Britain and the United States.
In the senate yesterday Senator
Townsend, of Michigan, and Senator
Johnson. Of California, came forward
with sharp criticisms of President
Wilson for not ordering the reinforce

Djsloyalty in Iowa.

Serful record Of enlistments and sup

was not free from organized dislnya!fv
and threats Of armed resistance to the
draft.
According to statements contained
/ in the biography Of Iowa's war gov
ernor Samuel J. Kirkwood recently
distributed by the State Historical
Society Of Iowa, the most impressive
ana conspicuous manifestation OF dis
leyaltv in Iowa was presented BY the
organization known az the KNIGHTS OF
the Golden Circle" This was secret
society or lodge which in February
1863. was said to have some forty-two
thousand members in Iowa and to oe
organised in avery township n the
state. The oath was reported to Dc
somewhat d follows: solemnly
swear that wal support the consti-

MORALE AND MiliTARlSM.
Discomfort Of Soldiers in 1862 Re
ported by lowan.


In spite Of civilian criticism of the
administrative departments during the
present war. it is not apparent that the
United States army itself has lacked
confidence in the civil authorities or
manifested the slightest disposition to
substitute military for civil aut hority.
That such suggestions were sometimes
made during the civil war is evident
from rhe letter of an Iowa officer
which was found among some manu-
scripts loaned to the State Historical
Society Of Iowa.
In regard to charges that Governor
Kirkwood was making military ap-
poin tments for political purposes. this
Iowan wrote: Me ought to remember
that at this moment there is latent
treason in the hearts Of the men com :
posing the army more terrible to the
interests of the republic than that OF
JEFF Davis and his co -adjutors. There Is
no doubt that the question of mill
tary dictatorship is being generally
discussed by military men. and there

'been against sending any British

when the British. French and Japan

American forces to help the allied ex-

that no living author upon such sub

Planting Corn That Will Grow.
Connecticut's experience last season
shows the value of testing seed corn.
Corn shows in that state in 1917 were
unique in that a oo-ear termination
test was made Of each entry. These
tests saved the state thousands ot
dollars, disclosing that much Of the
seed corn Of the 1917 crop was very
low in terminating qualities. cam
paign was inaugurated for the test
ing of all corn to be used for the 1918
crop The work in many places was
taken up through the schools. and
teachers and pupils were taught to
make tests. No excuse was left for
any farmer to plant immature corr.
In one county 700 samples showed
only 80 per cent terminating power
and in another county only 10 per cent
of the corn tested was fit for planting
The farm bureaus saved the day by
carrying on so vigorous campaign
that all corn fit for planting was made
available for home use or sale. In
addition to supplying the states need
for good seed corn. the farm bureaus
were able to get together six carloads
of tested seed corn for shipment TO
North Dakota and Wisconsin, where
also the situation was serious. This
corn brought the farmers of Connecu-
cut SIS 900.

Raising. mallard ducks is an indus

mallard can be bred makes it the best

Results Of Barberry Campaign.


The campaign for the control Of
stemrust of wheat thru the eradication

ture: Northern Illinois, so per cent;

per cent; North Dakota, 90 per cent:
South Dakota, so per cent. Nebraska

The work has been well begun in the

from stemrust of wheat lies only in

How Potato Disease Control Paid.

How Potato DiseaSe Control PAID.
Demonstrations OF methods Of con-
troll Of sweet potato disease in Accomac
county. Virginia. last year resulted in
a benefit to this county alone Of about
500, 900 due to the application Of the
control methods. Special efforts made
by the United States Department of
Agriculture during the bedding season
last spring resulted in the location and
distribution of a considerably larger
quantity of disease-free roots than
otherwise have been used for bedding
purposes and during the harvest sea-
son a campaign was conducted for the
selection of discase-free seed stock in
the field and in the storing of sweet
potatoes under proper conditions.
