been futile" 1t has been a piece of
good. sound work which has had for
its object the safeguarding Of Ameri-
can nationality. and the promoting Of
the peace Of the world by a league Of
nations capable Of doing that thing.
The Plain Dealer itself admits that
the amendments have been made be-
cause they were needed:
In one particular after another the
league covenant has been revised to
meet objections urged against ii. The
exemption Of the Monroe Doctrine il the
latest to be agreed to. There should no
the final peace treaty II drawn. tnclud-
ing the creation Of . league Of nations.
the fact will be apparent even to the
most critical that the safety Of ctvili1a-
ton demands its prompt ratification.
In view Of this endorsement 1t is
not easy to see why such an attack
is made on the "obstrucuonists."
There il no doubt that it is high
time the peace treaty were drawn
and signed and ratified, but if the
treaty or the league covenant shall
contain silly or dangerous clauses the
good sense Of the American people
will still refuse to be bound by them
in order to satisfy the present at the
risk Of jeopardizing the future.

peace delegates and plain citizens
who are unique in being mere mes
sieurs shower the correspondents
with invitations to teas. Trims. din

which have no. social disguise.
American correspondents are in
special demand. Everybody wants
Americas ear. Three social secre-

patchers would be required to avoid
social errors and land a correspondent
promptly at all the functions to
which he is invited. And he would
have no time for anything so prosaic
as the plenary sessions Of the Peace
Conference.
Everything from Belshazzar to the
Bolsheviki is discussed at these
social functions. Correspondents are
whisked from New Guinea to Nova
Zembla without warning. Ptolemy
and Pompey are resurrected and dis
cussed at such length that one might
suspect they narrowly missed being
selected as delegates to the Paris
conference.
Ancient Greece and Rome no longer
seem ancient. Philip Of Macedon
suddenly becomes modern. Persian
poets sing of their country's boun-
daries with all the charm Of Omar
Khayyam. The Old Testament is
introduced as a modern bit of litera-
ture designed to establish certain
territorial claims.
Countries and peoples are discov-

TREATING SEED
OATS FOR CONTROL
CEREAL DISEASES

Orono. Me-. April 14.-Prof. G.. B.
Ramsey. pathologist connected with
the United States Department of Az
riculture. and cooperating with the
University of Maine extension serv-
ice, has just issued a brief bulletin
containing valuable information for
Maine farmers relating to the treat
ing Of seed oats for control Of cereal
diseases.
1t is estimated by the United
States Department Of Agriculture
that % per cent more farmers treat
cd their seed for control of cereal
diseases in 1918 than in the previous
year. Notwithstanding this fact. the
loss of oats due to smut" was no.
100000 bushels. Practically all Of
these could have been saved. Prof
Ramsey asserts. had the seed been
treated by this simple method:
Place the seed oats on a clean floor
OF canvas where they can be shoveled
over easily. While one man is SHOW
cling. let another spray the grain
with solution of formaldehyde made
by adding a pint Of 40 per cent for
maldehyde to a pint of water. This
quart mixture will be sufficient to
treat so bushels Of grain.
Any kind Of a sprayer that will give
a fairly fine mist is suitabl for this
work. There are several makes of
one quart sprayers that may be
bought at sc cents to 81 that will do
excellent work of this kind. Proba-
bly, sprayer with a glass reservoir
would be preferable. so you can see
how rapidly the solution is being
used. and can regulate the applica-
ton SO that one quart will treat the
whole so bushels.
The formaldehydc solution used is
so strong it will irrirate the eyes.
nose and throat unless the nozzle Of
the sprayer is held down fairly close
to the grain. SO the mist will not come
in contact with the face.
After the oats. BY shoveling. have
become evenly sprayed. cover them
with blankets. canvas or some other
suitable material that will hold the
fumes. After being covered five
hours. the seed may be planted i'm
mediately. or stored for future use.
This is known as the dry method.
and is preferable to the old wet
method in which the grain was
soaked and had to be dried before
use. The method described does not
wet the seed or cause it to swell. The
time for treatment is short: any
quantity can be treated at a time.
and the grain may be planted imme-
diately after treatment. This method
will not in any way retard the sprout-
ing OF the grain. Try 1t. With for
maldehyde at 81 a quart. it will cost
only one cent per bushel to treat your
seed.

Judgment Reserved.

Apropos OF the statement issued on
Saturday that the Monroe doctrine is
to be safesuarded in the covenant of
the league Of nations. the Cleveland
Plain Dealer proceeds to exult in
this fashion over what it fancies to
be the discontinue of those who re-
fuesd to swallow whole the docu-
ment which President Wilson brought
home on his flying trip in February:
American opponents of the league Of
nations lose their last talking point by
the action of the league committee at
Paris In voting to extend SPECIFIC pro-
lection to the Monroe Doctrine. Sena-
tor Lodge and his 81 followers must now
either abandon their futile fight or do
some quick scurryins after new obtec-
the feet Of the obstructionists.
1t would thus APPEAR that the OBJ
ponents OF the league have been. talk
ing for the sake Of talking. and that
they have nothing further to talk
about. But In spite Of President Will
sons advance cable that there was
good and sunlcient reason for the
phraseology and substance of each
article" Of the covenant. and that
the FIRST thing" he would tell the
people Of Europe was that the
American people are overwhelmingly
in favor Of the league"-his league,

amended in every part. and the
amendments have been made at the

An alarming percentage of illitera-

children is disclosed in figures made
public by the children's bureau. De-

on the experience OF the bureau in
issuing federal certificates of age to
children going to work in five states
where state certificates were not ac-

mer federal child labor law.

Such claims as that of Belgium for
a readjustment Of her relations with
Holland come as a real relief to dazed
newspaper men and weary delegates.
That controversy only dates back to
1881. to the scrap of paper which
Germany probably wouldn't tear up
so ruthlessly if she could live the last
five years over again.
Discussions of the Near Eastern
questions are much the same. wheth-
er they be in the drawing room Of the

They are reminiscent Of weary class
room days with Homer. Herodotus
and Virgil. Efforts to interest busy
men in antiquity seem futile. Dele
