(Prepared by the United States Department
 of Agriculture.)
 Red clover has been styled the cor ner stone of agriculture in the North Central and Eastern states.
 Many farmers begin laying the cor ner stone as early as February, when 1t is customary in many sections to SOW red clover on the surface of the snow, so that 1t will sink into the soil with the first thaw in the spring. Red clover is hardy, and Is not Injured by ordinary cold; and the fact that 1t can be sOwn at season when work on the farm is comparatively light adds to the economy of its cultivation.
 The first important point to be ob- served is the selection of good seed, say specialists of the United States De pertinent of Agriculture. Considerable care should be used in this respect we'll in advance of the time of seeding. This is particularly true at present, when a large proportion of the red clover seed used in the United States comes from abroad. If poor seed is used the expected crop may be a partial or total failure.
 Good Seed Is Plump.
 Good red clover seed is plump or well filled, bright with a slight luster, the color of individual seeds ranging from violet to light yellow. The in- dividual seeds should be at least medium sized and fairly uniform, free of adulterants of any kind and from seeds of noxiOus weeds.
 Homegrown seed Is desirable, es- pecially in the North, because it is al- most certain to be adapted to local conditions. If 1t is not available, samples should be obtained from re- liable dealers. These should be ex- amined for adulterants, weed seeds, and shriveled seeds. They should also be tested for germlnation before pur- chasing in quantity.
 In the absence of more accurate methods an estimate should be made of the proportion of true red clover seed and of weed seeds and other impurities. From the red clover seed separated from all impurities, a counted number, as 100, should be taken just as they come. These seeds should be placed between layers of mOistened cloth or paper or merely covered in a bed of sand or light soil. A dinner plate, covered with another, is a suitable germinating receptacle. It can be kept in the living room, at a temperature between 65 and S5 degrees. Between the third and sixth days the sprouting ability of the seeds should be shown. It should be borne in mind that the sowing value of the seed is represented by the amount of true clover which will germinate with reasonable prOmptness. Thus, if four-fifths of sample Is pure

WORK PLANS ARE IMPORTANT
Farmer Should Know Beforehand What He Is Going to Do and
 What He Is Doing It With.

Method in doing farm work is very important. The farmer who knows ex- actly what he is going to do in the morning when he arises, how he Is to do it, and what he is to do it with, will always accomplish something worth while that day. The worker who has "hazy" ideas, indefinite plans and un- decided steps win never do much.
 Everything undertaken in farming should have serious attempts. Men and women who farm or keep the home in order must mean business, be businesslike and work in a methOdical way. HaIf-hearted work injures the worker and ruins his character.
 Plans are important They should be made before the task Is attempted. The worker must know what he is to do and then feel that he can do it well, even before the job Is begun, Leave off the work that you dread till such time as you feel like doing it. When you like it, dispatch 1t promptly and well.>

Investigations by the department during the past three years have shown that root rot of peas is present in all of the larger pea-growlng areas east of the Mississippi, and to some ex. tent in Montana and Utah. The dis ease lives in the soil and becomes more destructive each year that peas are grown on infested land, soon re. ducing the crop to such an extent as to make 1t unprof1table. It is dis. tributed by the custom prevalent in some sections of transferring soil from old fields to new ones to carry the nod. ule bacteria, and by wind and other means.
 The area of pea-sick land is widen. ing each year. It is particularly i'm. portant that the large seed-growinp regtons,sofzthe West, which Have re re. mained free of the disease up$to the present time, be protected from it by the practice of proper rotation.
 The department Is breeding varieties of peas resistant to root rot, but some time must elapse before there can be any assurance that the commercial growers problem can be solved in this way.

 Protects American Farmers.
 A seed-testing service is maintained by the United States Department of Agriculture, where 29,638 samples of various seeds were examined and tested in the last fiscal year-16, ,442 in Washington and 13,196 In the five branch seed-testing stations. Similar service is offered by the various state experiment stations. The department also exercises a strict inspection serv- ice over field seeds brought from for eign countries, and last year 5,OOO,OOO pounds of various seeds were rejected or held for cleaning before being al- lowed to be offered to American farm CTS.
 Nevertheless, the closest scrutiny Is necessary on the part of the farmer who desires a good stand of clover, either as a forage crop or to turn under for the improvement of his soil.
 It is important that the testing of seed be done early enough that suf- fcient supply of pure seed can be pur- chased in time for use; and if seed is to be sent to one of the government or state testing laboratories, at least two weeks should be allowed.

Disease Lives In Soil and Becomes More Destructive Each Season. Varieties Resistant to AiI-

(Prepared by the United States Department
 of Agriculture)
 Where the crop of peas grown for canning or truck market purposes the past season has shown root rot, the United States Department of Agricul- ture advises planning for a long rota- ton of other crops, beginning with the next season, to rid the soil of the disease. A four-year rotation is some times effective, but cases have been met, both in the East and in the Cen tral states, where even a longer rota- tion has proved insufficient.

WONDER OF TODAY

GAINESVILLE, Ca, April 1.-THE
radiophone is the seventh wonder of
the modern world, DR.. H, j. Pearce.
president of Brenau College for Wom-

broadcasted at the installation of a
radiophone in the college recently, be-

said, were the automobile the aero

DR.. Pearce contrasted what he
| termed the seven wonders of the mod :
ern world with the seven wonders of
the ancient world. "The seven an
cent wonders, Of which the Pyramids
is typical, consisted of great masses of
matter fashioned by the hand of
man, he said 1.-THE seven modern
wonders consist of relatively small
masses of matter most delicately ad-
justed.
THE wonders Of the ancient world
involved ponderous elements, requir-
ing great strength in their adjustment.
the wonders of the modern world in
volve the imponderable ether and the
air, requiring great intelligence and

THE ancient wonders were located
at fixed points on the earth and were
the property of certain nations: the
modern wonders are produced any,

pie.
The ancient wonders were subject

JAPAN EXPECTS J. $. WILL RAT|FY
 PACIFIC TREATY
JAPANESE WILL BEGIN EvAcUA. TON OF sHANTUNG UNDER
 THE WASHINGTON AGREEMENT
 TRUSTING TREATY BE RATIFIED

TOKYO. March 1.-The government announced today that the Japanese evacuation of Shantung under the agreement reached at the Washington conference would begin August first. Masanoa Hanihara, former vice min ister of foreign affairs and delegate to the Washington conference has been named to head the committee to put into effect the Shantung agreement.
 The Japanese government announc- ed that it was proceeding on the as- sumption that the Washington agree ments would be ratified by the United States Senate.
 The Japanese were reluctant to give up their hold on Shantung but were forced to do so through the influence of the United States and now Japan expects the United States to stand the demands of her delegates. If the Uni- ted States confirms the treaty then Japan will feel that she Is safe in re- leasing Shantung to China.
 The far seeing diplomacy of Ger. many in securing its concessions from China has made Japan reluctant to turn the German territory back to Chi na. Kaiochow was seized by Germany in 1897 and treaty was forced upon China granting to Germany private rights to build railways and open the mines in Shantung. In that treaty China made pledges, among them one to pay Germany for her investments and to give her some other more de- sirable place in China, If for any req son Germany should hand back Kiao- chow and her rights in Shantung. Jap an desires to be absolutely assau-ed that if Shantung reverts to China that it or some other province will not get into the hands of Germany.
 At the Washington conference 1t was agreed that China should receive Shantung back, but had to warrant that she would grant no further spe- cial privileges or concessions ot any foreign power.
