Department of Farm Welfare Conducted by County Agent Stewart Learning.

Corn Investigations to Be Started. Mrs. John F. Trost, of Corn Investigations, U. S. Department of Agriculture was in, the county two days last week for the purpose of selecting a suitable location for a series of experiments and Investigations rn corn disease control. Five or ten such experimental fields are to be located in the state and Jasper county was selected to represent conditions in the northwestern part of the state. After making a careful survey, Mr. Trost selected the farm of Clemons Gangloff, east of Rensselaer, on which to carry out this work. The division will run three district test on the corn to be used on the experimental plot, supervise the planting make observations ’at periods two weeks apart and have charge of checking the yields obtained on different rows. e The purpose of the investigation is to study the cause of low yields, barren stalks, nubbins and weak plants and to determine methods of eliminating them. Farm Record Books Checked Up. M. H. Overton of the Farm Management Department spent several days in the county checking up the •records kept iby a number of farmers relative to the business side of their farms last year, for the purpose of stopping unprofitable methods of farming. While not all of the 90 or more farmers who started books reported, enough figures were obtained to enable Mr. Overton to make suggestions not only to individual farmers but to enable him to draw general conclusions as to the limiting factors in profits on the farms of the county. The records showed that the ma-

jority of the farmers of the county are carrying on a good sized business and are handling their labor very effectively. The farms, however, are not stocked to any where near their capacity and the livestock is not making the return on every SIOO worth of feed as it is in other localities. The greatest needs, according to Mr. Overton are more livestock, better quality and better feeding methods. As soon as the figures obtained from the records are tabulated and conclusions drawn from them, further mention will be made in this column. This office will continue to furnish farm record books free of charge to responsible farmers, who will agree to keep them and bring them in for inspection upon request. Community Club Meetings. A community meeting will be held at Remington, Tuesday evening, March 25th, to consider the organization of a Community club. ‘ The meeting is in charge of a committee consisting of Harvey Williams, Earl Taylor, Eli Zehr, Chas.

HUN ARMY ONLY A POLICE FORCE

Strict Safeguards for the Disarmament of. Germany Are Announced. 100,000 MEN IS MAXIMUM Fortifications Within Fifty Milos of ths Rhino to Be Destroyed and Construction of New Ones of Any* Kind Forbidden. London, March 21.—Strict safeguards for the disarmament of Germany are announced by Paris correspondents of the Times and Dally Mall. They state that discussion of this question Is practically ended (with the exception of some points which do not affect the pillltnry or naval strength. The purpose of the terms Is to reduce the German army to the limits required for the preservation of internal order and the maintenance of frontier guards. A long-service German army of 100,000 men is the maximum. The great general staff disappears altogether with other bodies of the same kind. The military schools are cut down, and the number receiving training must be in proportion to the vacancies in the army. There must be no seheine of mobilization.

To Raze Rhine Forts. The clauses regarding fortifications provide for the destruction of all fortified works, fortresses and field fortifications within 50 miles of the Rhine, and lhe construction of any new fortifications of any kind is forbidden. In this area. On the southern and eastern frontiers Germany will tee allowed to maintain her fortifications in the existing condition. The terms fix very definitely the number of rifles and guns and the manufacture of ammirtiition for them. The manufacture of munitions or war material muy be carried on only In Such works of which the allies have been fully Informed and the number of which the allies reserve the right to limit. All other establishments In nny way connected with the war shall be shut up and the workmen dismissed. All arms nnd war materials, including anti-aircraft guns, above the requirements as fixed In the treaty, are te> be surrendered to the allies and the associated governments, which* will render them useless or* destroy them. And such plant for the manufacture of war material, except that required for the production of quantities laid down, will meet with the same fate. Can’t Import War Material. Germany will be forbidden to import war material of aifir kind or to manufacture for export any war material. This covers asphyxiating gases and other devices such as armored cars and tanks. In the naval terms all the clauses relating to the fate of the German warships to be surrendered by Germany are still subject to reservation. The allies have not yet come to an agreement whether or not the ships should Be destroyed or broken up or used to make good allied losses during the wat. fThe object of the_naval clauses is the same as the military—the reduction of the German naval strength to the equivalents of police and frontier control.

CONSIDER LOTTERY SCHEME

Secretary Glass May Adept New Plan to Sell Bonds. New Yort, March 21.—A government lottery for the purchase of Liberty bonds Is under consideration by Secretary of the Treasury Carter Class, according to a statement made by the orlgnator of the novel plan. George B. Buchanan, a stock exchange merpber. The plan provides for the drawing at stated Intervals.of bonds of the several Issues at slight premiums over their face value —$101, or $lO2. “This would check the selling of bonds by small holders more effectively than purchasing them in the market," said Mr. Buchanan, “for the chance of securing a premium on a bond would keep many people- from selling who are not compelled to sell through necessity. The money being used by the government to buy bonds could be utilized under such a scheme, and it would stabilize prices by stopping unnecessary selling.

AIR POST TO START APRIL 15

Plans for Chicago-New York Mail Service Are Announced. Chicago, March 21. —Perhaps on April 15 your letter to New York will go via the air mail service.
