The South Dakota farm extens ion
division Of State College is warning
the farmers that extra care must be
taken this spring in selecting seed
corn. Last year after the corn was
out. husked and cribbed, before it
had time to dry thoroughly, cold
weather came. which sent the mercu-
~ down below zero. The GERM cells
in the corn grains were frozen and
bursted, without apparently affecting
the appearance Of the grain. This
corn will be worthless for seed. Last
years corn crop was probably the
best the state ever produced, but the
tests given at the College chow that
only, about go per cent germinatee,
when good seed should terminate SO
per cent. The farmers are warned
that the condition is more critical
than it was in 1918, ard greater care
should be taken in testing the seed be-
fore planting.

Madison Special. Those posted on
educational affairs predict that there
will be considerable advance in the
salaries of school teachers in South
Dakota for the coming year. Such
towns as already have made their se-
'ections of teachers for the comm g
yess have increased salaries. With
the shortage of teachers becoming
more manifest each month the re.
naming cities and towns will be re.
quired to meet even higher salaries.

Soviet Russia has been notified by
the supreme council that trade fela-
tions can not be resumed between
that country and the allied powers
until wholesale murders cease; until
the confiscation of private property is
stopped and until Russia recognizes
the debts already due to other coun-
tries. There seems to be no power in
Russia that gives any promise Of be-
ing able to overthrow the soviet gov
eminent. Relief must therefore come
through reformation of the soviet.
. This may DO tedious process but it
can be fastened by pressure in COM
mercial way from other countries.
