Washingtop, April 6.—A storm of anti-spy talk broke loose in the senate this afternoon, Senator Overman called upon Colonel Roosevelt to make “public apology” for his article, published in the Kansas City Star this morning, attacking the anti-spy Dill now before the senate. “It is full of misstatements and if Colonel Roosevelt has half the cour- age he used to have, he will apologize publicly,” Senator Overman declared, “Perhaps it is his desire to get out of the danger zone himself that makes him take this attitude,” Senator Stone of Missouri declared. “There seems to be a lot of talk and it's only results will be to place the senator from North Carolina in the | Ananias club,” Senator Thomas of Colorado said, “It looks to me very much like an attempt on the part of Colonel Roose- velt to qualify for membership in one of his own clubs,” was the comment of Senator Reed, whose reférence to the: Ananias club was so obvious that the floor and galleries greeted the comment with laughter, Senator Stone’s remarks were: “I read Roosevelt's statement and I de- | sire to say’there is no such language in the bill; but | wonder and express that wonderment ‘now whether the }former president merely wanted to get out of the zone of danger himself and jleave everything and everybody else subject to criticism, to arrest and to indictment.” Senator Overman urged the senate to take quick action on anti-spy meas- ures and declared that the laws of the United States now allow a “German to walk free who has passed on de- | feetiv ¢ airplane materials “They can't touch him,” the North 1] | carotina senator said, tle also pre- sented a telegram from Mayor Siegei }of Collinsville, HL, stating that the f Robert Praeger was due f that the United States will not punish disloy- ator Smoot presented the senate copies of the report of the Associated Press using the identical words which Colonel Roosevelt has been criticized and which Senator Overman j called “utterly false.’ Senator Smoot } contended that Colonel Roosevelt had |been misled bysthe Associated Press report into believing that the made provisions to prohibit eriticisin | of the president. After listening a jator Overman declared: “Then, all | said about Colonel | Roosevelt applies to the Associated short time, Sen- Press.” Mrs. Jacob Miller Dies Kansas. at Parker, Mrs. Milly N.

Courtney of Adrian, prepared ie the Journal a religious census of the men in the various camps of the United States. Accord- ing to Rev. Courtney there are 305.009 men in camps and in that total otf 305,000 men the Roman Catholics have 66,000, ‘or 21.6 per cent; the Methodist 56,500 or 18.5 per cent; the Baptist 38,500 or 12.6 per cent; the Lutherans 23,230,-or 7.6 per cent; the Presbyterians 20,986, or 6.8 per cent; the Disciples 16,427, or 5.3 per cent. Now these six Protestant dominations comprise 72 per cent of the soldiers of these fourteen camps.

BULLETS FOR SPIES, SAYS TAFT Law Should Be Upheld, Though, to Avoid German Savagery. Muskogee, Ok., April 3.—‘“Spies should be court-martialed, lined up and their citizenship ended by bullets; those who express treasonable senti ments shonld be tried and punished, but in all cases law should be obeyed certain parts of the United States should be everywhere condemned, that the United States may not sink [to the lawless savagery of the Ger- mans,” William Howard Taft, former president of the United States, de- clared here today in an address before the chamber of commerce. Mr. Taft also dedicated the war sav- ings bank in Muskogee, following 2 parade in which 25,000 people _parti- a_large percentage of—our_—corn_to had}, bill |, ieir seed made a gain of 10.86 bush- per vere over those trusting their lcod to their own judgment withort testing, Tf such results are possible Jochen seed corn is normal, then ever greater difference will be possible this year.

The Importance of Testing Ceed Corn. The early frosts last fall has caused not be fit for planting, in fact about half of the corn that is being select- ed for seed will not germinate more than 50 per cent. This is one time that even the old time so-called seed corn experts can not tell a good ear from a bad one and the only solution to the seed corn situation is the germination test. However, | find that so many farm- ers are still holding to the old theory that by cutting the germ end of the kernel they can tell a weak or a dead germ from a strong one. The farmer that does not test his seed corn this year will have a great deal of replant- ing to do. So many: farmers think that it takes so much time to do the testing and | have heard several say, "Oh, | will just set my planter to drop three and four kernels instead of two and [} 1 will get enough corn on the ground.” It is true you are putting more than enough corn in the gréund, but what assurance have you that the planter will pick out the good and bad ker- nels and distribute them at their proper places, lor instance, the the ory you are working on that you will have at least two good stalks of corn in each hill, but suppose this planter should drop all dead kernels in the} hill for a piece or 3 dead and 1 live ones, have you a uniform stand, | should say not. You have only lost that much corn which you could have fed to your hogs and cattle. Then that is not the only loss, it will be necessary for you to replant which still means more labor and a Waste of more corn, but this does not tell it all, The replants never do as s the first planted corn, and you have been studying the labor problem, | s if not it is high time that you were. Vou can test enough corn to plant] too acres in less time than you can replant 5 acres. | Let us use a little sound judgment rom. the experience ot ind profit he the results of the 5 acre plots conducted by the Missouri Corn others Grower's \sso m last year, The average stand of corn on the plots where the seed had been tested was 20 per cent, and the average yield} wits 71.33 bushels per acre, — Fields platted to untested seed gave an aver- ave stand of 72.1. per cent and an ay erage yield of 32.24 bushels per acre. In other words those men who tested writing to the director of the Exten sion Service, Columbia, Mo.
