There is something about the

A bill has been introduced in
congress to prohibit he slaught
er of catlle under two years of
age. This is aimed against the
veal trade, and to conserve meat
producing animals until they are
at an age to yield beef and thus
militate against the high cost of
living. The bill is a good one but
should go farther and prohibit
the destruction of lambs. Mil
lions 01 calves ami iambs are
slain each year to satisfy the pal
ates of meat epicures. The pro
hibition is practical and follows,
in so far as it aim to conserve
these species of animals, the
prohibitions in most stales in
taking fish less than a certain
size which refers to the age. It
is probable that a national law-
could only reach interstate com
, meree in these young animals but
a national law would undoubtedly
be followed by state laws on the
subject which can not come to
soon to help increase the meat
supply.

Plattsmouth being the county-
seat, and the only city in the
county, we should cater lo the
desires of the people of Cass
county. When the farmers come
to this city to buy goods, the
merchants should treat them in
such a manner as to make them
want to come again, and to con
linue to come. When the far
mer learns that he can get the
goods he desires just as cheap
here as he can gel them in Oma

farmer and merchant alike arc
interested in the upbuilding of the
town and county. Neither have

SEED CORN FOR NEXT YEAR.
There is scarcely a year
in
which the farmers do not have
seed corn problem, says-Wallace
a
Farmer. At first. sight the read
er will say: We can not possibly
have a seed corn problem thi
year. The unusual heat in all
sections of the west is pushing
the corn forward until there is
no danger of its being caught by
frost. By husking time much of
it will be as dry as it would or
dinarily be next spring. All of
which is true; but how about the
farmers in the drouth stricken
sections? In many places there
is no corn at all, and in other
places simply nubbins, poorly de
veloped and unfit for seed.
The answer of some will be
that there will be plenty of good,
ound corn elsewhere, and it can
be shipped in. True, but the ex
perience of farmers, and the ex
periments at the stations, have
shown that no corn shipped into
a country does as well as corn of
the same quality that was grown
in that section. In other words,
corn gradually adapts itself to its
environment. Any corn brought
in from another environment will
not do its best, will not, in fact,
feel at home for two or three
years.
What then, are the farmers in
he drouth stricken sections to
do for seed corn? They can do
one of Iwo things. They can
either take their chances on corn
shipped in, which is a mighty
ong chance at best, or they can
use corn of 1912 for the plant
ing of 1911.
We advise our readers in those
sections to do the latter, and to
go about it at once. For the first
thing you know, every crib of old
corn of good quality in the neigh
borhood will be bought up and
shipped to seedsmen in the cities,
and then shipped back, perhaps
sometimes lo the same neigh
borhood, but not often. There
fore, the salvation of the farmer
in the drouth-stricken sections is
lo secure as soon as possible old
sound corn with strong germin
ating quality, and put it away for
seed for next spring, taking care
that it is not exposed to moisture
or frost, or mice or vermin of
any kind. By doing so he will go
far to guarantee a good corn
crop in 1911.
In the extreme north of the
corn belt rains seem to have
been abundant, but there is the
danger of freezing. The proba
bility is that this great drouth
will break up in a violent man
ner; and it may be followed by
storms and freezing that will
catch this late corn. Therefore,
we would advise our readers in
the northern sections not to
wait till October to select their
seed corn, but to select it as soon
as well dented, dry it out thor
oughly, and keep it dry. The corn
crop of 1914 will be largely de
termined by the care that far
mers take of the seed corn of
that year; and there is no time
o lose in taking carp of it,
whether you buy it or select
our own.
The C. O. D. is a quick remit
tance service. Il went into effect
with parcel post on July 1. The
C. O. 1. ought to be used by
mall merchants in small towns.
A farmer calls up the merchant
and orders a pair of shoes. He
receives them and sends back
the money by the carrier. The
rural telephone is I he key lo the
transportation 011 the other hand,
the farmer sends to his custom
ers in town eggs and chickens.
The rural carrier brings the
money to the farmer next day.
Here also the telephone has been
employed. The rural telephone
is, indeed, tho key to the situa
tion.
:o:
Any town is hurl by anything
that takes men and money out jf
the community and leaves no
equivalent. Remember that.
