Agricultural forces in every county of Indiana are mobilizing ' for "Seed Stocks and Labor Survey Week," Feb. 4 to 9. In those six daya a census showing bow mucb seed for the leadins crops each farmer has on band and bow much help be will need tha coming season, will be taken. Meetings were held this week or will be held sometime before Feb. 4 in every county to outline plans for the survey. At these meetings, township leaders will be chosen. They, in turn, will name community leaders, for every two miles square and these leaders will visit every farmer in their respective sections, and obtain the answers to a set of questions to be asked each farmer. When each farm has been visited and answers obtained
from all the farmers, the cards will be returned to county headquarters
where they will serve as an lnforma
Hon bureau in the way of telling who possesses and who needs seeds. The
figures also will be tabluated for each
county and for the state. Then, a
farmer who is 6hort of seed corn for the 1918 crop may find out who has
a surplus. If no one in the county bas. be will be told who in the nearest
county does possess it and at what
price It may be purchased. Similar data will be on hand for all other
leading crops. The labor question will be bandied in the same way, with the Boys' Working Reserve being used as widely as possible. This sorvey will be the most comprehensive ever undertaken by any state and Is the first big step In Indiana's 1918 food production program. It will ascertain the exact needs of Roosier soil tillers and provide a system by which these needs will be fined. Through this plan, it is hoped that the state will be able to solve its own agricultural problems. The work is being done through the Agricultural Extension Division of Purdue Univerity and the seed stocks committee of the United States Department of Agriculture.

"Moonshining" on Increase in j Dry States and Near. Army Camps
WASHINGTON, January 28. The necessity of arousing state and county officials to their responsibilities in assisting the government to break up the manufacture of moonshine whiskey is urged upon the governors of prohibition states today in a letter from Internal Revenue Commosaloner Roper. The letter was made public as part of a nation-wfde campaign against illicit distilling recently announced by Commissioner Roper, when it was discovered that the manufacture of "moonshine" was rapidly increasing in bone-dry states and whisky was being sold illegally to soldiers in southern training camps. "Constantly increasing violation of
prohibition laws in several localities," !
Bald the commissioner s appeal to the governors, "open defiance of federal authority and the apparent inability of the local police to cope with conditions are astounding and distressing. The morale of every army camp in the prohibition states is in jeopardy through the illicit distilling and sale of whisky. You will, I am sure, determine upon the most practicable method of arousing your county off! ciala to their responsibilities and dut ies in co-operation with federal agents. The commossioner also wrote congressmen from prohibition states asking their co-operation and letters of instruction went forward to Internal revenue collectors. The campaign al
ready has resulted in arrests in many states, but the commissioner points out the records show the main effort to keep moonshinging in check continues to come under federal directionIn this connection the destruction of 411 stills and 697 distilleries in North Carolina and 121 stills and 206 distilleries in South Carolina by federal agents during 1917, is cited. Evidence gathered by federal agents shows that raw corh liquor had- been sold about army camps at $8 to $12 a quart.

He was the greatest advocate of universal training when the agitation for preparedness was in its incipiency. When in command of the Department of the East he devoted much time and energy to the Plattsburg training camp. Criticized Administration. The Major General was one of the chief critics of the War Department. In widely published speeches General Wood assailed the Government for its lack of interest in preparing to meet what he considered the impending military crisis. He wished the Administration to wake up. The General was called upon for an explanation of his action in permitting Colonel Roosevelt to criticize the Government in a speech to the men at Plattsburg. Shortly thereafter the Department
of the East, of which General Wood was in command, was divided into
three sections, the Department of the
