ARMISTICE HASN'T
BEEN DECLARED
Germany Is Working For Peace, But
Nothing Will Be Done Before
Saturday

London, Oct. 12.-No confirmation
has been received yet from either
Rome or ConStantinople of the report
from Berlin that an armistice has
been arranged. The Turkish Cabinet
met yesterday with the new Foreign
Minister, Assim Bey, but apparently
nothing will be decided pending the
assembly of the Turkish Parliament
Saturday.
According to some reports, several
members of the Cabinet favor peace
negotiations, while others support the
committee of union and progress and
urge the expulsion of Italians and
vigorous prosecution of the war. The
Turkish government has instituted a
sort of press bureau at Constantine
/ pie, which is issuing fanciful reports
of alleged Turkish military and naval
successes, for home consumption.
/ Meanwhile the first section of the
. lltllllu CApIulllOll IOltt hlo
made a successful landing at Tripoli.
This will bring welcome relief to the
overworked marines, who have been
kept in a state of constant tension in
fear of Turkish attacks.
In addition to working to secure an
armistice, Germany is said to be doing
her utmost to remove friction between
Turkey and Bulgaria, which threatens
a reopening of the Balkan troubles.
One serious obstacle of Italy's plans
may be met if the Great Mahdi Of the
Sahara is organizing a Holy War
as rumored.
A dispatch to the Daily Mail from
Tripoli, dated Oct. 9, says;
81 just hear a courier, who arrived
from Muhnir Pasha, asking the Italial
Governor to enter into negotiation
with a view to a Turkish surrender
It appears that the Turkish officer
held a council and decided, owing t
the shortage of provisions and waite
and an outbreak of fever, not to offe
further resistance"

MORE APPLICANTS FOR
THE NORMAL PRESIDENCY.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. ia lively
scrimmage has resulted from the
rather sudden and unexpected an
nouncement of the resignation of Pro-
fessor w. n. Smith, as president of
the State Normal College, now in the
process of construction at Hatties-
burg. The latest, and apparently most
formidable aspirant for the position is
Or. D. C. Hull, of Millsaps College,
according to information from an au-
thortative source.
In the event DR.. Hull decides to ac-
cept the position resigned by Prof.
Smith his action will create a vacancy
at Millsaps, and as the chair he oc-
cupies is a lucrative one, and one
which has been sought after there is
not the slightest possibility of there
being lack of capable men who will
aspire to fill the position.
The Normal College has just been
/ started and will be some months be-
fore it is completed. The need of a
president at the present time is not
urgent, and the matter will probably
be allowed to remain in abeyance
until after the close of Millsaps.
The names of Prof. Joe Cook, OF
Columbus: J. c. FAINT, of Meridian
and E. L. Bailey, superintendent OF
Public schools of Jackson are men
toned in connection with the normal
school presidency.

HIGH GRADE SEED IN DEMAND
10y George 9. oreen.)

The very evident increase in the de-
mand for high grade seed grain is
most encouraging to seedmen and the
leading houses in the seed trade are
making an earnest effort to supply
thia demand. Heretofore there has
been neither widespread demand
nor any adequate source Of supply for
quantities of hish-grade seed grain In
any proportionate to the total area
to be seeded. The supply for this de-
maud must come from two sources.
First, the breeding Of pure seed grain
through the careful and painstaking
methods Of the. scientific plant breed
Of. This method while highly efficient
and full of promise for the future and
hence worthy of all encouragement. is
necessarily SLOW, Furthermore. 1t will
only. be- useful to the farsighted and
educated farmer. who is. willing to pay
liberal prices for his seed and to give
his own local conditions sufficient
study to enable him to choose wisely
from the mass Of Information offered
him BY agricultural colleges.
Sow Plump, WsII-Matured Grain.
The other method. which for the
present, appeals even more strongly
70 me, Is the selection and careful re-
cleaning Of plump, high colored and
we'll matured grain, grown on clean
farms In sections which now produce
heavy crops Of the grain in question.
This class of seed grain distributed
in quantity through seedsmen and
other commercial channels will, be-
iieve. produce quick results in great.

the sections where 1t, is, sown.
verify believe that this should be

Of inferior seed grain. Against the use
Of weedy, immature. poorly-cleaned
seed grain, such Is 50 many farmers
are now using.
Insist on Clean, Heavy Seed.
II you can displace, the seeding Of
this character Of grain in a county
and substitute the use Of good heavy

sry channels from sections where the

is that farmers generally shall plant

produced under favorable conditions
and recleaned by modern methods.
This Kind Of seed can be supplied in
large qualities by seedsmen when the
demand for 1t is created.

BETTER BARLEY IN IOWA

10y Prof. L. c. eurnett.)
1t would seem advisable to first con-
slider just what. manner of barley
grain We are endeavoring to raise.
Barley is now being used largely for
feeding 40 we'll as brewing. For the
farmer who feeds his crop. the yield
per acre is Of nrst importance. II on
the other hand the crop ,is to be sold.
q little attention to few usually neg
lected items will make several dol
lars difference In the value Of every
acre. ,..
What IL desired Of the barley crop?
The interest Of everybody concerned
in the barley crop is in the production
of q high yield Of uniform grain. Let
me repeat. high yield and uniform
grain" more bushels of one type Of
kernel. one size Of kernel. one color
Of grain.
