A recent test to determine now
long seeds remain alive showed
interesting results. Seed corn
gathered in 1908 and terminated
in 1920 was very low in vitality,
the grains producing very weak
sprouts as compared. with one
year-old corn. Tests also prove
that seeds have low vitality
when gathered during years OF
excessive humidity and rainfall.
Oats and wheat seeds gathered
in 1915 show extremely low Vi
tality.

THE SANE FOURTH.

President Harding is one of the advo-
Gates of a safe and sane Fourth of July,
and has so expressed himself in a letter
written to the head of Baltimore COM
mittee preparing for such day in that
city.
The object of the Baltimore celebration
is Ito inculcate the principles of the
Declaration of Independence and to CON
serve life and limb from the reckless and
ignorant use of fireworks" This sounds
a good note for celebrations generally.
In many places the non-explosive
Fourth is now compulsory, but in many
others the unrestricted sale and use of
firearms and explosive toys still goes on.
Where this is true the casualties of the
day will roll up as usual
The better plan makes the great ma
tiOnaI holiday a civic and patriotic oc-
casion in which, if fireworks are used at
all. it is merely to close the ceremonies
with a public display, carefully safe
guarded to prevent accident to the on
lockers.
Such a celebration is especially appro-
pirate this year, for the world is strug-
Cling as never before to free itself of the
obsession of arms, of which the explosive
toy is the sign and symbol.

SMOKE SCREEN SECRETS.
How Vast Clouds Were Evolved to OBJ
Scnre ShinS' MnXenenfs

Some of the secrets involving the huge
clouds of black or white smoke employed
to hide the movements of ships at sea and
troops by land are revealed by DR. George
r. Richter in an article in the current
number Of The Journal of Industrial and
Engineering Chemistry The revelation
of these secrets, published for the first
time by permission of the Chemical War
fare Service, indicates that had the Euro
pean war continued, the making of smoke
screens would have become fine art.
The Chemical Warfare Service had n
combustion chamber at the American
University Experiment Station Washing
ton, ID. c., in which various smokemaking
mixtures were burned and density of the
vapor studied by ascertaining how much
il obscured the rays of electric lights
placed in the midst of il. Thus the vari-
Gus mixtures were measured according to
their IT. .. p" which means total OBJ

The proportions in the following rep

device in which the smoke was used.

IMMIGRANTS As CAPITAL.

While the United States is cutting
down its migration and frankly discour-
aging almost all sorts of immigrants,
Canada is making a strong bid for them.
The Montreal Star recently published a
remarkable editorial headed 'Repudia-
ton, Annexation or Population
The theme was the payment of the
Canadian debt. which now amounts to
over S3,000,O00,000 and which means
probably as great a burden to Canada
as 100000 100000 indebtedness would
mean to the United States. Many Can
adian statesmen almost despair of paying
it. According to the Montreal newspa-
per, there are only three possibilities. The
debt may be repudiated, but according
to Canadian notions of honor that is I'M
thinkable. Canada may join the United
States, and let this country assume the
debt; but although Canada would very
likely be welcomed on such terms, such
a fate is equally unthinkable to the ma
jority of Canadians. There remains only
the third possibility great increase of
Canada's population, which would in
crease the nations productive power suf-
fciently to take care of the burden.
This view regards immigrants as so
much working capital added to a coun-
try's assets. And that is what they are,
unquestionably. in Canada or in any
other counry-proyided they are of the

HELP FOR SEASONAL WORKERS

One of the biggest industrial problems
is that of the seasonal industry. In the
clothing business, for example. there are
two peaks of production every year, with
ensuing slumps. Thus the workers have
their periods of employment and forced
idleness twice a year.
In Cleveland the second largest gar
ment-manufacturing city in the country,
new solution has been put into effect
by agreement between the employers and
employees. The year is recognized as
made up Of two periods of 26 weeks each,
and in each of these periods the manu-
| facturers are to provide at least 20
weeks of employment to their regular
workers, or of they fail in this, to pay
| the workers two-thirds of their regular
wages for the unemployed period. To
guarantee the carrying out of this bar
gain. the employers are required to de
post securities or pay into an employ
ment fund ~ per cent of their regular
labor payroll.
There are two excellent features about
this arrangement. One is that the manu-
facturers are stimulated to keep their
factories running and provide as much
employment as possible, because by so
doing they may avoid paying out wages
for nothing during the dull period. The
other is that the workers know what they
can count on. and can plan their years
expenses accordingly.
Other ways may be found for working
out the problem in the case of painters,
carpenters and other seasonal industry
people The important thing is that in
one industry, at least. a start has been
made toward just and sensible arrange
ment.
1t goes without saying that every in
dustry should face the problem of taking
care of its own labor. Eventually ways
may be found of prolonging through the
year many kinds of work which are now
limited to employment for an average of
only twO-thirds or hree-fourths of the
year. Where the same line of work can
not possibly be made continuous, either
by changing production methods or NOV
ing the workers, it should be possible to
provide work the year around by alter
mating the seasonal job regularly with
some other kind of employment.

ways of these federal officers are past
finding out.
There seems to be a great desire on the
part of DIR. DeFoSsctt and Commissioner
Brigham to point to a large number Of
Vermont herds as accredited but if Mr..
Lowell goes out of the business of breeding
registered cattle, what good will that do
in practical way?
1t may enable them TO say that the
chief objector to the tuberculin test and
the accredited-herds plan has been brought
to book and compelled to get in line,
but such n victory has no significance if
secured under protest. 1t does not add
very much to the facts on which the COM
missioner and the federal agent base their
policy for spending public money on this
plan of cleaning up Vermont herds, from
which Lowell and a good many of his
neighbors in the Connecticut valley dis
sent
There is entirely too much of this
thou shalt and thou shalt not bust
ness about a program that is at least open
to criticism. 1t Is not too much to sug-
gest that our officials step somewhat softly
until their position is a little better
founded
On the other hand it might very prop
erly be said that the officials have only
Lovells statement that he is going out of
the regiStered-herds business and that they
are justified in requiring him to sign the
regular accredited-herds application, be-
cause he might not carry out his present
plans. .r .--
1t may be so, and perhaps Lowell is not
entitled TO say that the department places
him in a false position. but certainly if a
man who does not believe in the depart
ment's plan is compelled to accept il or
fail to get his cattle tested when he is
willing to pay for it, there is something
wrong somewhere.

right sort. Canada wants ''tillers of the
soil, not cultivators of unrest" That is
what the United States wants primarily.
in so far as it wants immigrants at all.
The present attitude of this country may
result in turning important streams of
immigration from our own ports to Can
adian ports. That is an right, for the
present. It may result, eventually, in
serious competition for good immigrants
