)RN FOB AHA FARMERS State Council of Defense Has Arranged to Supply Best Quality Available. EARLY PLANTING IS ADVISED . 4Emergency Supply to be Provided and Drawn on Should Replanting be Found Necessary. ; Full realization of the importance of a bumper corn crop tm the pros"perity of the state and its ability to contribute its share to the winning of the war, was manifest at the meeting of the Indiana State Council of Defense, when a resolution urging farmers to test their seed and have their planting finished by May 25, was adopted, unanimously. The Indiana State Council through its committee on food production will endeavor, through the county councils to supply v. the best seed available, at reasonable prices. It proposes, further, to assist growers in securing tested seed in time to insure its cultivation and maturity before early frosts. The remembrance of tto frosts of 1917, which destroyed perhaps 25,000,000 bushels of corn in southern Indiana alone, is still fresh in the memory of those charged with directing the state's war program, and they will seek to guard against a repetition of this costly experience. After firnest Thornburg, president of the Indiana Com Growers Association, had called the attention of the council to the results of demonstrations, which he said, "have shown in a clear way that early planted corn gives the largest yields and stands the best chance of maturing n the fall," the council agreed that no more important recommendation could ge out to the farmers from the state government than that they plan to have their corn in by May 25. MaäÄf began in many sections of the stäft April 25, Mr. Thornburg said. He also stated that late planted corn always runs the risk of being caught by early frosts and delay in planting also necessitates the use of smaller varieties which do not yield as well as the ones suited to the community and which occupy the larger part of the growing season. Indiana farmers are urged by the state council to plan their corn planting carefully and where possible to co-operate with each other both as to labor and sted. The efforts of the food production committee have resulted in securing a supply of seed from Missouri, which Prof. T. A. Coleman says was taken from Indiana to Missouri two years ago and is native to this climate. This i corn will be used generally in the southern part of the state. For plant-i '. itr in northern Indiana counties seed . as been secured in New Jersey and the food production committee now as an agent at work in that state Tideavoring to purchase from ten to ifteen car loads, which will be sent to l-.aiana by express, in order that there nr.y lie a guaranteed sajply in every county. Mr;;y farmers, it was pointed out, au planting what they believed o be good seed, but which will be found alter a test to have been bad. In addition to this New Jersey suppig, Ue department of agriculture, through the efforts of G. 1. Christie, of the Indiana committee, has agreed to stM aside an emergency supply of 2,000 bushels, which will be used where replanting is found necessary. SIOUX CITY WINS HONORS Iowa City Claims She Was First to Oversubscribe Liberty Loan Quota. Sioux City, Iowa, has not only won the honor flag for the first large city completing its Liberty Bond quota, but has hung up a record that is unprecedented. The Iowa city. In one hour, pledged $2,524,400 worth of bonds, $12S,400 more than its quota called for. The pledges were made by 4,051 subscribes. On the basis of the 1910 census this showing would mean sales at a per capita basis of $53.36 for every person in the city. The sales v. ere made by a force of 600 solicitors. Tho

WILL BACK UP THE 80YS AT THE FRONT

Written for the Liberty Loan Organization of the Eighth Federal Reserve District. By MILDRED S. McFADEN. Wo are backing up the "boys tit the front, Our soldier boys, the flower of our youth, Who answered Freedom's call And are gladly giving all For liberty, for justice and for truth. We are working for our heroes at tho front, Who nobly hear tho brunt of shot and shell. For, backed by love untold, And bullets made of gold, They will( rescue ail the world from Gentian ijell. Wo are backing up our sailors on the sea, So gallantly a-standing by their guns, 'Mid perils of the deep Where deadly U4)oats creep To do the baneful bidding of theHuas! We are backing up our birdmen at the front, Whoso dauntless souls no sense ot fear can know. Patrolmen of the sky, O'er hostile lines they fly To guard tho guns on "firing lino" below. We are backing up our service at tho front, Whero toll of pain doth mark each victory won, That nurso with Cross of Red May hover o'er each bed To soothe and comfort every mothar'a son. We are backing up our colors at tho front, Old Glory shall never brook disgrace O lift it high and- Wgher, That its message may inspire A spirit of world-freedoni for tho race To back our allied forces at tb? front Is tho urge of our Liberty Loan campaigns. Each Liberty Bond we hold Is a handicap of gold To bind tho Beast forevermore iu chains. "Bring your tithes into my storehouse," Freedom calls, Make every hoarded dollar do its share; With patriotic thrill And zeal of Bunker Hill Roll up millions for the boys "over there." M ffiüfiHELLÖfll : CARD FIXES STATUS Both Indicate Slackers, Though One Has Subscribed But Not Enough. Two colors are going to figure prom inently in this Third Liberty Loan campaign, Yellow and Pink. Every person who is financially able to buy . a bond and who refuses will have his ' name recorded on the yellow card the slacker card. In the last two campaigns for the sale of Liberty Bonds there were many persons who slipped quietly into their banKs and made a small purchase of Liberty Bonds, when, as a matter of fact, by reason of their financial ability, they should have bought ten times as many bonds. Such individuals &ro considered by the federal government as slackers, just as much as are those who can but will not buy any bonds at all. In order to get a permanent record of persons of this character, the Fedoral Reserve Director of Sales of Iowa has sent to every county chairman a' supply of pink cards, upon which tho names will be recorded of such persons as do not do their, full duty who do their "bit" instead of their "utmost" These pink cards will be carried by every Liberty Bond salesman, and when an individual who ought to buy a $1,000 bond will only buy a $50 bond down goes his name on the pink card. These cards will be handled the same as the yellow cards they will be reviewed by the county chairman and his executive committees. The individual will then be given another op portunity to Increase his subscription to its proper amount, and, failing in this, the cards will be forwarded tm the Federal government for such action as the Federal agents deeni proper. , Each state In each of the Federal Reserve DIstrlcti ha similar plansk and no man may be a slacker without tke knowledfe of TJncl Sam.
