But few people save seeds OF thelr
own crops, depending upon the SEED
houses and the Government to do what
each individual should do.a~.-
: There are scores Of large seeu
houses. some having been in business
for a half century or more. In tne
last few years, new methods OF PACK

a kind of pIiable paperHah stated IN

cut tens of millions of "Penny-a-
pack" seeds. Seed packets are filled
by machinery. Seeds are even counted
by machinery, and yet the govern
ment sends free seeds to 1S,OOO,OOO
people, costing nearly a half million
dollars. At first, only $1,000 was ap-
propriated for this purpose, but now
many times that amount is needed for
the growing and the distribution OF

Debating Societies.

of so many moving-picture shows
there were debating societies in al
most every school neighborhood. The
contents were warm, the decision Civ

Thirty years ago we took part in
some spirited arguments at Green
mount Long since have they been
abandoned there but at Wesley school
house. southeast of Hampstead, they
still continue the good, old-time ora
torical contests. Last week the sub

rain falls which are both brief and

rHE,ARMs CONFERENCE

.x While the arms conference appears
to have fallen short OF expectations in
some quarters, it has nevertheless
been really worth whiles unquestion1
ably IT Has for the time at least al
layed a gro(eing belief that the United
States and Japan were slowly but
surely drifting towards and an i'm
passe from which the. only escape
could be, war. The United States, in
surrendering the right to fortify
Guam and the. PHILIPPINES, has to all
intents and purposes recognized the
Hawaiian Islands as the westernmost
outpost ofeies territory. We do7netabe-'
tIieye that the majority Of Americans
will haze lnuch fault tosfind with. this
doctrine, although it involve some
idea OF surrender. of sovereignty.
s Sa. far as Yes are able to interpret
the acts OF the conference, it would
appear that Japan has been willing to
relinquish special rights in China, at
least in measure, and the "open
door" is to be maintained. The COM,
bined powers are to aid in putting
China on. her feet. .. American COM
nierce should profit by this arrange
Inent.
The reduction of. sea armament will
be Of benefit to American taxpayers.
IT will have the further result Of al
layine growing naval rivalry be-
tween Great Britain and the United
states, which might sooner or later
have borne ugly fruit.
All in all the conference was not
barren Of results, and we, have room
stqt eongratulation that the meeting
was held

that YOUR land is too rich in nitrogen,

There, is no seed. treatment which you

YOU is TO apply acid phosphate. which
