Seed Corn Tested By Rensselaer High School.

Much interest has recently been taken in the seed com testing work done by the Rensselaer high school. OWt a RunldredTrashells as seed corn have been tested by the high school force in the short time following the request by the governor of the state that such work be done there. The largest amount of seed corn brought in by any one person was 25 bushels. The great amount of work connected with testing just two bushels erf seed corn oatn be appreciated by studying the exhibit in Hilliard & Hamill’s show window, placeu these Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Flach square of the germination box is numbered and six kernels from each ear'are removed for each square. As the kernels are removed the ear of com is tagged with the number of fhl square m which “the kernels have been placed The com is left bo germinate and grew. If less than six of the kernels germinate the ear from wWioh they came is dis;aider!-for planting purposes. Not only does a germination test show up the bad-points of an ear of com, but if the germinated kernels are allowed to grow in the box for a. couple of weeks, a pretty good indication can be obtained as to the vitality of the com plants to result If any of the six kernels produce weakly plants, tire ear of com from which they came should also be discarded for planting purposes. Too miany farmers think that oy selecting a handfull of com from a sack of shelled seed com and germinating it that'they have a good indication as to whether it is desirable for planting. They, should be brought to realize that this day when every hill of com must be made to grow its .maximum amount sctxi corn should be tosteu. hl such a manner that similar results to those stated above can be obtained.

President Continental Credit Trust Visits Newland.

A. R Tones, president of the Continental Credit —Trust of Chicago, came <•< and went out to Newland today. Mr. Janes says that Mr. Oliver 'has sufficiently recovered from his recent illness to be able to go out walking and will possibly be able to come to Rensselaer by the first of June. j . Mr. Jones says he has received some complaints from unsecured creditors of Mr. Oliver claiming that if they had brought suit against Mr. Oliver last fall they would have been paid. He says that that would have been impossible for on account of the crop failures Mir. Oliver could not have paid these obligations. He says that they have now put the matter in such shape that the land is now so that a good deed can be executed, the titles have been cleared up and passed upon by tire Chicago Title Company and there is now standing in the name of Mr. Oliver same 2330 acres, against which the Greenbaum’s have a mortgage of $175,000. Besides the above land there are 160 acres on which Mr. Hollingsworth has a mortgage. Mr. Jones is anxious to have every acre of this land farmed this-year and is sure that every obligation of Mr. Oliver can be met and that he can have besides a nice snug fortune. The Continental Credit Trust is providing the money with which to carry on the cultivation of this land. Mr. Jones impresses one as being a man of splendid ability and from our investigation we believe he will be able to pay every dollar Mr. Oliver owes and as indicated above still leave him a considerable estate. The Continental Credit Trust is rated high and all who have done business with them speak very highly of thdir manner of conducting affairs entrusted to them.

O. K. Rainier Not to Serve On Conscription Board.

The following letter was received today by O. K. Rainier and will, of course, require his displacement on the Jasper county conscription board: “My Dear Sir: I am just in receipt of a long distance communication from Washington advising me that since the original letter of instructions was sent out they have decided that the third member of the board must be a practicling physician. This will! render it unnecessary for you to act further as a member of the board and a physician will at once be designated to take your place on the board. I wish to thank you in behalf of the state and nation for the generous tender of your services and the valuable work you have rendered up to this time in the selection of the precinct conscription officers. Yours very truly,

The Liberty Loan Campaign.

New York Work!. The announcement that Secretary is to tour the west in the interest of the Liberty Loan indicates that this country is not yfet reacting to the war. It is (not surprising. England only slightly reacted to the war for a year. It did not fully react until it 'was disc osed what sort of a war this is and what would be the consequences of losing it. Only a few among us as yet sense thess throes as personal concerns. If they were felt as they ought to be, the secretary would be too ousy at Washington counting the size of the surplus subscriptions to tour the country with a suggestion that the loan mav not be so successful as it ought to be. His task is a difficult one-. What words can be used to arouse a nation which does not perceive that the nation is at war, ahd not ita arniy alone? The men who will push the bayonets and throw bombs from the trenches are only the spearhead. Behind the spearhead there must be the thrust of the-power of every man and woman in the country. Nothing less can prevail against those who

make war in the German manner. There never was such a war.-There never was a country so ravaged as Belgium, whose sufferings are rightly ours. There never before was a nation which shot nurses and commanders of merchant vessels for reasons which are their imperishable claim to be avenged by those next in line for such treachery. There never before was a nation which drowned women and children, and was unashamed and unrepentant. The purpose of the bonds is to bring that shameless peoto a perception of their crrtnes. There never was a man who brought '■such-'-misery-*upoft““’m®»kwi , d- -aS" themonarch who after years of such conduct commands the loyalty of his the agent of God. Such topics as these are the ones to arouse the people of the country until they shall see that the bonds are the missiles

which they individually must use, unless they are to expose themselves to danger and shame. - Our defenders have -battled with almost superhuman endurance for years and have not won. They have spent many times more billions than are asked of us. The money thev have spent is as nothing to the blood they have poured forth, while our skins are whole. They have impoverished themselves for our enrichment, and the question is whether we shall rally to their support. It is a reproach to ask it. It is a shame that the loan should be in doubt a week, even a day. There are reasons, but they are of no consequence. The fault lies with the people who must take the bonds if they than fail to do so. Too many are letting others do what they Should, not from unwillingness to do their share, but from fajlure of personal perception of the issues involved. Too manv think that the rich should bear the burden, that the soldiers should defend their country, that there is no dancer here across the seas. There could bo no greater mistake. There is no American woman who has not been insulted iir her sex by those against whoifir these >bonds are weapons. There np American man whose manhood is not concerned to help make democracy safe. The man who does not take what bonds he'can is in danger of having all that he has taken from him. He is .saving his dollars at the cost of a memory that he failed at the hour of test. He is dishonoring his manhood and forfeiting the esteem of those who are doing more than they should because he : s doing less. The war must sell the bonds, not their terms. The Germans will not practice a different war against us than against others. They will fight our friends just as thev have done and so long as they are able. The Liberty Loan is merely our insurance against such bitter experiences.
