Don't spend the entire day "sug-
gesting." Take your coat off and put
one of your suggestions through. The
absolutely ideal man is a combination
suggester and performer, one who can
suggest something, and then go to
work until he accomplishes one of two
things-either carry the scheme out
or prove that the suggestion is bad
one. Then, If 1t is bad one, an inn
practical one, drop it. Herein lies
one of the supreme tests of ability

Great Britain-Great Britains dele
CATION believes that a society of ma
tions is desirable and obtainable and
it must be established by the present
peace congress. She advances no con-
tinental purposes other than those Of
permanent and just peace under
the principle of self determination
and that there shall be international
freedom of transit by railroads and
waterways, which is Great Britain's
general definition of freedom of COM
merce in times of peace.
Great Britain will take mandatory
power over the German islands south
of the equator for Australia and over
German Southwest Africa for the
Union of South Africa. She will also
have the mandate over the German
East Africa and some parts of Ara
bia and she has particular claims in
this respect over Mesopotamia. Great
Britain will enter a pool with the
other allies in the matter of indemni-
ties, especially reparation for air raid
damages and shipping losses.

Paris.-The delegates of the five
great powers are now in a position to
compare clearly their own aspirations
and those of all their allied friends
and to see the differences that must
be reconciled. The maximum of hopes
often overlapping, has been told free

France and Belgium as presented

Wants Alsace-Lorraine.
France-First of all France wants
Alsace-Lorraine Internationally and
the right to discuss and ultimately to
fix the French frontiers in their rela-
ton to the Rhine, which may require
the creation of buffer states. One of
these would be the Palatinate and an
other Rhenish Prussia. France de-
sires also to annex the basin of the
Sarre river, which might be called a
remuneration.
France will insist that so far as
the left bank of the Rhine further to
the north is concerned the conference
should forbid military works of any
kind, barracks, bridgeheads, forts and
fortresses, in that zone. The feeling
is that the people inhabiting that zone
should be free to decide for them
selves whether they wish to joir
France, form an Independent state o.
return to Germany.
The French bill for reparation il

that it will be about 66,O00,00000

RULE FOR AMOUNT OF SEED
GRAIN TO ACRE

The proper amount Of seed to SOW
per acre can only be accurately deter
mined on the basis Of purity and ger
mination tests. OF wheat IL bushels
Of seed that is perfectly clean and Of
high termination will produce approx
imately the proper number of plants per
acre for highest production. IT the seed
is low in termination it will be neces-
sary to plant a larger quantity Of seed
to get the proper number Of plants per
acre. Considering IS per cent gcrmina-
ton and 99:5 per cent purity as the
standard when sowing IL bushels per
acre, it would be necessary to plant l
Is bushels Of wheat testing 80 per cent
termination and SO per cent purity, and
II bushels of wheat testing s. per cent
termination and 90 per cent purity.
The same holds true in the case Of any
other kind of seed.
For the expenditure Of 10 cents in
postage in forwarding sample for test
to the Seed Laboratory, University
Farm, St. Paul, it may be possible to
increase the yield of grain per acre
from one to several bushels or to secure
a more satisfactory stand of forage.
Find out the quality of seed and then
plant accordingly Robert C. Dahlberg,

RODENTS.

That it pays to kill rodents is shown
by government estimates just put out,
telling that campaign against rodents
in Utah last year resulted in the kill

ated saving in crops of $702,36S. More
than LOO farmers co-operated, using
nearly 100000 pounds of poison bait.
This is the kind Of campaign that
the division of entomology and econ

culture, University of Minnesota, is
urging on the farmers Of Minnesota as
a means of exterminating rats, which
annually cause loss in Minnesota of
from $3,00O,000 to $4,000,000. The slo-
gan at this season Of the year is sect
