many different communities were
tested at the farm bureau office
and showed an average germina-
tion test of 73 per cent. The fol-
lowing are the individual tests, S8,
80, 80, 76, 25, and II per cent.
These tests are dangerously low
and farmers cannot give too much
attention to eliminating dead ears
and those with low vitality.
The dead ears can be determined
by inspection, but the ears with
low vitality which will probably
never get through the ground and
which are more prevalent than the
dead ears, can be determined only
by the termination test.
There are a number of methods
of running the individual ear ger
mination test, the most satisfac-
tory of which are the box divided
into squares with cord, and the rag
doll. The Farm Bureau Office at
Newark can provide information
on either method.

COLBY DESCRIBES
cox AS PROGRESSIVE
Says Harding Drifts Into Sea
Of OPportunism.

ST. LOUIS. Oct. 14.-Gov. Cox was de-
scribed in campaign speech here to-
night by Secretary Colby as "a progress
give In performance and achievement"
and Senator Harding as having drifted
out into the sea Of opportunism I'M
charted by principle or high purpose"
James NJ. Cox Is essentially OF Presi-
cential calibre," said Mr.. Colby. "He
measures up to the full requirements Of
these extraordinary times. predict he
will be your President, and he deserves
to be-"
Turning his attention to the Repub-
lean nominee, he said There Is not a
man Ike Taft or Wickersham or Straus
or Lowell. there Is not a man such as the
mild reservationist Senator's who can
harbor any illusions as to Mr.. Harding.
Some OF these unfortunate Republicans
had felt that 1t was all right for Mr..
| Harding to get elected by insincere sub
servience to the political rustlers Of the
Borah-Johnson type, and they hoped that
only after he was elected would Borah
and Johnson become acquainted with the
full measure Of Harding's betrayal of
them. And then IL would be too late for
| them to imperil Republican success at
| the polls.
Harding could then say. All ever
opposed was the Wilson league, but am
| in favor Of the Harding league and
with little transposition my sincere
friend, Mr. Taft, could find that we were
coming into the society Of nations by the
postern gate. not'like guests, through the
| main entrance. but like fiunkies, through
the alley.
"Mr. Harding's late utterances strike
down this weak anticipation Of the Re-
rublicans who favor the league. He
surrendered Internationally to the earn
est and aggressive hecklers Of Iowa. He
is opposed to any league"

At present, the Senator said, 1--WE can

our help and where we might find good
markets.

policy in building our foreign trade"
There will he a minimum of secrecy In
such matters when he Is elected. he
promised. He will try to give the peo-
pie dependable information as to what
Is going on in the world.
This new policy includes reorganiza-
ton OF our Department of State and of
the Department of Commerce. They are
doing overlapping work and their poll
cies often conflict. he said.

"One possible PLAN" he suggested, "is

the Secretary Of Commerce. so that we
may efficiently direct all our energies
under one definite programme"
1t is through our foreign trade. the
Senator declared, that we can most
fonorably perform our obligations to
mankind"
This is the way American Ideals can
be spread. 1t represents the policy of
practical idealism TO which the nation
is now turning in relief.
Coming UP from Tennessee to-day,
Senator Harding spoke at Somerset,
Danville, Harrodsburg, Lawrenceburg
and Shelbyville before reaching Louis
vile. At Somerset he scored the Ad-
ministration's Mexican policy, saying:
MANY speakers for the Democratic
party are saying that Republican success
means war with Mexico. 1t seems to be
a speciality with the Democratic party to
foresee war and then to keep US out of
IL during the campaign. The Republican
party is not war party though we did
insist upon fighting vigorously and with
all our resources aIter We were involved
in the great world conflict.
But this campaign scare will not de-.
ceive America a second time. The pol
Icy OF the present Administration. which
brought distrust In Mexico and humilia-
ton at home, will be quickly reversed
when we come into power. Instead of
war II will bring confidence. respect and
tranquility Mexico understands the
Republican policy. We never intend to
tell them who shall govern them. We
want to extend helping hand when
invited to do so. We ask nothing ex-
'cept the protection of American lives
when rightfully in Mexican territory.
and the protection of American prop
erty which is rightfully owned there
We ask that of Mexico and everybody
else in the world. That doesn't mean
war but the Golden Rule of internal
