Varietal experi ments with rye at the same sta tion resulted in one variety pro ducing at the rate of 43 bush els per acre and another 37.3 bushels.

Even in Germany the out right suggestion is being made that the kaiser get out and al low Germany to obtain peace. They will have no use for a conquerer who cannot conquer. Turning the tables on our effete brethren we may now say that the east does not real ize we are at war; otherwise they would not be so slow back there with their liberty loan quotas. Peace or no peace our farm ers are getting their wheat seeded early. We may all want white bread next year and if so it will take some crop to fill the aching void.- Even should peace be made soon there is no hope our boys can be gotten out of France be fore Christmas. Don't forget those Christmas packages, through the Red Cross, nor the Christmas letters and cards. The news now is that old Hindy himself says the Ger mans are whipped and must have peace.

' ' If the people are awake to the dan- 1 ger a quietus can be put on this agnul- t toils and alarming scheme by electing a republican congress November 5. President Wilson has at no time given the slightest sign that he aspires to a third term or that he is giving any thought to 1920. The insinuation of the G. O. P. congressional commit tee is unfair and illtimed. It is the more remarkable from the fact it comes from a political organization' that has been boasting much about loyal sup port of the president. ILL TIMED -VtHILE. President Wilson jjjf labors earnestly, .and 'faithfully under the mightiest responsibility . any HE United States govern ment is rendering a prac tical service to farmers through its seed testing work and through advice as to the producing qualities of differ ent varieties. .

THE WAR QTIES Ostend. a seaport of Belgium. 70; miles from Brussels, lies on low land j that Is protected by a seawall- The j town has been occasionally Inundated i Joy a combination of gales and high tides. The port is dangerous in un favorable weather. The town owes Its repute and prosperity before the j war principally to . Its sea beach, which Is admirably adapted for bath ing purposes. The population of the town was about 20,000. In the 10th century Ostend was but a cluster of fisTilng huts. The place later grew in importance and the harbor became noted. In 1445. Phillip the Good caused It to be wall ed about but Prince of Orange was the first to fortify It In earnest, 1583. A short time after It sustained a memorable Beige, during the reign of Albert and Isabella, being Invested on July 6. 101, and taken by Splnola on September 14, 16114, after a resist ance of more than three years. Os tend was taken by the l-'rench in 171)4 and belonged to that republic until 1S14, after which It formed a pat of the Netherlands, but since 1830 has been a part of Belgium.
