Don’t forget Mr. Farmer, that through your Farmers’ National Con gress, National Grange, National Farmers’ Union, American Society of Efluity, and similar organizations you have for years demanded and have importuned Republican administra tions for legislation you needed. WHAT DID YOU GET? Through all the years since 1864 the Republican Party was deaf and blind to the farmer's financial needs. This in the face of the fact that suc- P cessful systems of Rural Credits were in operation throughout Europe for a century. When this great Democratic measure was put to vote in the Sen ate on May 4, 1916, only five Re publicans dared vote against it! Three of them were on the sub-committee who wrote the Republican Platform of 1916. Was it because you were not Big Interests? You were, many of you, highly financed, and High Finance held the mortgage—and to that extent you belonged to High Finance. But you paid.big interest to associate with Big Interests. A stack of wheat wasn’t as good collateral as a sheaf of scraps of paper held by a stock gambler. Nor did the Political Bosses of the Republican Party care to give you financial justice. They were too busy “protecting” themselves. THE PROMISES OF THE DEMO CRATIC PLATFORM OF 1912 — written in courage and honesty and with sympathetic understanding of the needs of every honest American interest—HAVE BEEN KEPT. The Republican Party refused to do these things, which the prosperity of the American Farmer required. The Republican presidential candi date, Charles E. Hughes, denounces the Democratic party and President Wilson for having done these things. Where Does Your Interest Lie? (From Farmers’ Pamphlet issued by the Democratic National Committee.) DEMOCRATIC PROMISES TO FARMERS FULFILLED Benefits Under Wilson Set Forth in Official Pamphlet. The Democratic platform of 1912 made this promise to the farmers of America: “Of equal importance with the question of currency reform is the question of rural credits or agri cultural finance. Therefore we rec ommend that an Investigation of agricultural credit societies in for eign countries be made, so that it may be ascertained whether a sys tem of rural credits may be de vised suitable to conditions in the United States; and we also favor legislation permitting national banks to loan a reasonable proportion of their funds on real estate security. “We recognize the value of vo cational education, and urge Federal appropriations for such training and extension teaching in agriculture In co-operation with the several states.’' These pledges, with many other services to the farmer, have been com pletely fulfilled in the legislation of the present Administration. The rec ord of Democratic Performance is of fered in comparison with the Repub lican record of broken promises to the farmer, in an attractive pamphlet is sued by the Democratic National Opm- mittee. Copies have been furnished to every Democratic State Commit tee for free distribution. ALMOST INCREDIBLE.

MOTHER LOVE AIDS SON IN TRENCHES It Brings Relief To Boy Standing His Watch Deep in Mud. Once upon a time, only a few months after this terrible world war had begun Private Bailey, a soldier in the ranks had stood for days in the trenches “somewhere in France.” The cold rains soaked him to the skin; the mud was deep. He had had no rest. Weary and aching with rheumatic pains, he recalled the faith his mother had in Sloan’s Liniment. He asked for it in his next letter -home. A large bottle was immediately sent him and a few applications killed the pain, once more he was able to stand the severe ex posure. He shared this wonderful mus cle-soother with his comrades, and they all agreed it was the greatest “reinforce ment” that had ever come to their rescue.

At corn-ripening time, drop all other business and select an abundance of seed corn. The process is too important to be conducted incidentally while husk ing. When selecting seed corn, give the process your entire at tention. Get the very best that is to be had and preserve it well, and your increased yields will return you more profit than any other work you can do on your farm. The only proper way to select seed corn is from the stalks stand ing where they grew, as soon as ripe and before the first hard freeze. As soon as the crop ripens, go through the field with seed-picking bags, and husk the ears from the stalks that have produced the most corn without having any special advantages, such as space, moisture or fertility. Avoid the large ears on stalks standing singly with an unusual amount of space around them. Preference should be given the plants that have produced most heavily in competition with a full stand of less productive plants. In all localities the inherent tendency of the plant to produce heayilv of sound, dry, shelled corn is of most importance. Late-maturing plants with ears which are heavy because of an excessive amount of sap should be ignored. Sappiness greatly increases the weight and is likely to destroy the quality. In the Central and Southern States, all other things being equal, short, thick stalks are preferable. Short stalks are not so easily blown down and permit thicker planting. Thick stalks are not so easily broken down and in general are more productive than slender ones. The tendency for corn to produce suckers is hereditary. Other things being equal, seed should be taken from stalks that have no suckers. The same day seed corn is gath ered the husked ears should be put in a dry place, where there is free circulation of air, and placed in such a manner that the ears do not touch each other. This is the only safe procedure. Good seed is re peatedly ruined because it is tho'ight to be already dry eccugh when gathered and that the pre caution mentioned abjve is un necessary. Many farmers believe that their autumns are so dry that such care is superfluous. Seed corn in every locality gathered at ripening time will be benefited by drying as suggested. If left in the husk long after ripening, it may sprout or mildew warm, wet wea ther, or become infested with wee vils. The vitality of seed is often reduced by leaving it in a sack or in a pile for even a day after gath ering. During warm weather, with some moisture in the cobs and kernels, the ears heat or mildew in a remarkably short time. The best possible treatment immediate ly after gathering is to string the ears. Ordinarily the best place to hang strings of ears is in an open shed or loft. Wire racks are more convenient, and in the end cheaper, then binder twine. Such racks may be made from electrically welded lawn fencing. The cutting of the fencing into seed corn racks is done without any waste.
