Save Seed From All Your Crimson

every indication that the seed will

Now is the time of year thai

to nave the seed when the crop is
ready for harvesting. This ma)
l»e done liy tho use of strippers or
by cutting the crop at the riglii
stage with a mowing machine, and
then later, after tlie crop has dried
out well, sepnrate the seed from
tho dried plants by the use of a
pitch fork. Care should be exer
cised that tho handling iu curing
the plants be as little as possi ble
and be done when the plants are
slightly moist from due. For this
I • reason all handling should be done
daring the early morning or late
' afternoon hours. In using the
■ stripper the seed may be gathered
directly from the stalk after thej
j&jgtpking from the stripper. The

To see what really .happens nt the
end of the good road, a public road
specialist of the department recently
hud observations made In different sec
tions of the country. The observers
noted many country-bound teamsters
who drove two loaded wagons, bitched
one behind the other, to the end of
the good road, and then found It nec
essary to leave one wagon by the road
side to bo returned for later, while all
the power of their teams was devoted
to hauling • single wagon over the un
improved road.
Furmcrs bound for the market fre
quently were seen to. haul wood and
similar products to the beginning of
the good road, there dumping them,
and returning for a second load. When

state)," "Volunteers of United
States," or "Regular Army (Navy) o!

draft? Specify grounds.

draft, It by no means follows that yoa

FANNIE HURST INVITES YOU
TO REALLY THINK.
Thought is the activity o." which
the human being knows the l?«tst.
One minute of real thinking in a
lifetime is more than many per
sons do And when we do think
it is more apt to be because some
one inspires us from without than
because we inspire ourselves from
within. So we are eternally in the
debt of those who have thoughts
richly, and to spare with us, hoping
that some of the fire of them wili
pass into us and flame anew. Thus
we owe gratitude to Pannie Hurst
for making us think as we read

RUSSIA FACING

INDUSTRIAL CRIBIB 18 SO ACUTE
THAT ONLY MIRACLE CAN

MAY BRING WAR TO A CLOSE
Demands of Workmen 80 Enormous It
Beems Impossible to Keep Industrial
Wheels Turning.—Minister of Ft
nanoe Speaks.
Petrograd, via London. —The Indus
trail crisis In Russia Is so acute that,
according to a recent utterance of the
Minister of Finance, M. ShlngaroS,
only a miracle can save the country
from economic suln. The demands of
the worlfmen were so enormous, he
declared, that It seemed impossible to
keep the Industrial wheels going for
| any great length of time.
I The Socialist ministers at a recent
ministerial council said that the only
possibility they saw of settling the
difficulty was to bring the war to a
close.
' Neither the coalition Cabinet nor
the newly appointed Commission to
regulate the difficulties between capi-
I tal and labor has yet found a way to
I settle the Industrial crisis. The Com
mission is composed of the Ministers
of Finance, trade and Industry and
labor, but since there is a wide diver
gence of views between the Minister
of Finance and the new Socialistic
Minister of Labor, It seems probable
that this Commission will be confront
ed with the same difficulties that at
tended previous efforts at reconcilla
, tion.
I An Investigation of the factory con
ditions in Petrograd leads to the
alarming, hut inevitable, conclusion
that unless the Government soon finds
a means of adjusting the present dif
ficulties, most of the Industrial enter
prises working for National defense
will b« compelled to close within a few
months. An investigation shows that
virtually- the Bame difficulties prevail
In all the big factories In Petrograd
and apparently authenticated reports
from the Moscow, Donets and Ural dis
tricts Indicate general disorganization.
In many of the factories, the demands
by the wworkmen for increased wages
are actually greater than the entire
profits of the factories under the best
conditions of production.
HOUSE PAMEB FIRBT OF
FOOD CONTROL BILLB.
Provides For Survey of Food Bupply,
Appropriates $14,770,000.
Washington.—The Administration's
food survey bill, first of the food con
trol measures, was passed by the
House without a record vote. It ap
propriates $14,770,000 for an Immediate
Investigation of the country's food re
sources and tor measures to stimulate
production. A similar bill Is under de
bate In the Senate.
Tha Agriculture Department expects
to praMßt ft fairly accurate estimate
of food resources within three week*
after the bill la signed by the Presi
dent, Secretary Houston said. As
soon as the measure becomes a law,
the Department will start Its 17,000
employee and the 150,000 -voluntary
crop reporters to work on the inves'.i
(ation. The preliminary report to be
made within the three weeks will be
supplemented with monthly reports
and probably by a further complete
report within six months If necessary.
Material gathered will be turned
over to Herbert 0. Hoover, who was
named* as head of the food adminis
tration, as aoon as the pending regu
latory food measures becomes law.
In the surrey bill, paased virtually
as it came from the committee. Miss
Rankin, the woman representative
from Montana, inserted an amend
ment which would require the Depart
ment of Agriculture to use women in
tha survey work whenever practica
ble. An amendment by Represent*
tire McKensie of Illinois would mske
all persons employed under the bill
liable to military service, and another
would permit citizens to refuse to go
more than 300 mile* from their homes
or places of business to testify in a
food inquiry.
Great Britain may bay ont its
liquor trade, bat not necessarily
as a mark of esteem.
