PUTS
HONOR BEFORE
PLATFORM
Says Party Pledge Can Not In
terfere With international
Obligation.

WASHINGTON, Feb, S.-That a
platform pledge can not interfere with
the settlement Of an international
question involving a point of honor
was the declaration made to-day by
President Wilson in making clear his
attitude regarding Panama Canal tolls
and the Democratic platform plank
which declared in favor of the ex
emption Of American Coastwise ships
from the payment of tolls. His posi-
ton is firmly fixed against the ex
emption.
President Wilson Indicated that in
an International question involving
treaty obligation and point of ma
tional honor, a party platform decla-
ration can not be binding when OPP
posed by other considerations.
The President told his callers that
change of circumstances over
which the United States has no con-
troll had changed the situation since
the Baltimore platform was adopted
This declaration is Interpreted to
mean that the British protest has as
sufned new phase.
President Wilson said, however
that he has not discussed the Panama
tolls question with the British Am
bassador, Sir Arthur Cecil Spring
Rice, and has not taken up the ques-
ton with the British Government
since James Bryce left Washington
The President stated that he had no
present plans of sending a message
to Congress on the subject, believing
that the announcement Of his atti-
tude would be sufficient to get &C
ton repeating the exemption at the
present session of Congress.
There is no question that Presi-
dent. Wilson regards the Panama tolls
question as interrelated with the va
rious foreign entanglements in which
the United States now finds herself.
and that he is anxious to clear up the
question before pressing the others
for final solution

Bulgar Minister
Thanks u. S. For
Aid to Starring

LONDON, Feb. 9.-M J. Nadia
off, Bulgarian Minister to the Court
IF St. James, to-day, in behalf OF the
Bulgarian nation, expressed CRATE
ul thanks to the American people
or the splendid help being accorded
he suffering refugees in the Bal
lans. He said:
None can oyerestimate our
thanks, but it is hard for us TO
express them. We Bulgarians
are at once a very poor and
very proud people We are
deeply conscious of the needs OF
our suffering brethren, and our
hearts are full OF thanks to the
kind, generous-hearted people
who have stepped forward in
their relief, We find it difficult
to put these feelings into
words. Among us there is al
ways an awful dread Of being
mistaken for public beggars
would like to make Ameri-
cans understand that we are
undergoing merely temporary
misfortune. which we hope to
rise above in a very short time.
In the meantime, thousands OF
our people are undergoing the
most dreadful restitution. For
what America is doing for these
please accept my heartfelt
thanks. ! would like to say
that our Government hopes to
do all possible in the shortest
time to set our people on a
proper basis once more.
Very soon now the Agricul-
tural Bank, which is State insti
tuition, viii have available sum
or from three 10 four millions Of
francs which will be loaned to
agriculturists for the purpose OF
purchasing farming implements
and seed for crops as well as for
building materials.
We only want to see one good
harvest. After that we will be
able to find ourselves More
over, throughout the country,
even in the smaller villages, col
lections are being made. Those
who have money are cheerfully
giving a substantial proportion
TO aid their less fortunate
brethren.
It is the next two or three
months that matter with us.
During this time we must keep
alive the thousands OF starving
refugees. The best idea of our
plight can be given by stating
that most of the schools in our
capital, sofia, are still given up
to protect the destitute suffer
ers from the weather. The
pupils have been temporarily
put aside until these unfortu- .
mates have been taken care of.

Essay on Corn, Its
Growth And Uses
Member of High School Agricultural
Class Gives Information on Min
nesota's Big Crop
(BN Ida. Cah@on)

Corn: is a native of the new world.
It is an annual plant with erect stems
and spreading leaves; the nearest rel
alive is probably the Mexican plant.
This is; a. plant. of the same general
habit of growth.
Maize differs from most grasses in
having solid, instead off hollow stems.
The plant varies in height from less
than two feet in dwarf varieties to
more than thirty feet reported in the
West Indies. Specimens more than
twenty feet tall are not infrequent in
the rich river valley of the United
States The size of the ear, color and
plant show, marked variation. The
ears vary in length from one inch in
small popcorn varieties to fifteen in
ches or more in the large dent varie-
ties White, black, yellow and red
are the coIors of the grain. In some
the. grain is no larger than rice
grains.
varies are from one month to seven
months in others. Corn requires
high temperature during the growing
season, long days and bright sunshine,
and a large amount of rain during
the, hottest weather. The corn belt
of the United States seems to be the
largest area in the world where the
climatic features are favorable and
where the land is level enough for
corn production. Even here there are
probably no seasons when corn does
not suffer to some extent from I'M
| favorable weather. 1t is the temper
ature of the growing season rather
than the temperature of the year that
I limits the corn crop.
Sunshine necessary
The amount of sunshine and inten-
sity is also important. When the
rains come, they are usually of short
duration and are followed by bright
sunshine. The glaring sunlight of
the middle West is one of it's natural
| resources-worth more than gold
mines. There is a decided relation
between rainfall and yield.
Where corn thrives, it produces
about twice as much food per acre
as is produced by any of the other.
This, together with the limited area
of land with corn climate, makes
the farms in our corn belt very high
in price. 1t also makes it possible
to grow corn in many regions that
are not best adopted to it.
| Corn shows a remarkable tendency
to mix" as the blending of the var
ieties is called. The pollen in one
variety showing it's effect upon the
grain of the other Although the
wide spread cultivation of corn has
given rise to many varieties, most bo-
tanists that corn to be a grain of
America, probably grown in the wild
state on the plateaus of tropical
America. All evidence points to its
cultivation by the natives tribes long

is usually cut for fodder or put in

is usually cut for fodder or put in
the silo.
Corn may be cut by hand, but it
is cheaper to cut it with corn har-
vester if there is a large area to cut.
One of the most important develop
ments in the use of corn in recent
years has been the introduction of
the silo. Silos have been in use in
the dairy sections during the last fif-
teen years. The silo prevents much
loss of food. Any kind of green ma
terial may be used in the silo, but
corn is the universal silage material.
The chief corn disease is smut. Rust
is suppoed to do little injury. Bac-
terial disease generally causes con-
siderable damage. The principal in
sect enemy is the cut worm which
destroys the young plants. Sometimes
whole fields are destroyed, so as to
make a second planting of the field
necessary.
LStiWdtIOHS Vi OFOpS
Extensive injury is done by the
ground squirrels which feed on the
planted seed. The corn crop of the
world is estimated at from $500 to
5000 million busels annually The an
nual corn crop of the world produc-
ton of the United States amounts
to 200 millions bushels. Fifty BUSH
els an acre is considered a good yield,
although some soils produce more
than one hundred different articles.
Corn has high water content. Maize
ranks as a cereal food for man. The
seven leading corn States are: ILL
nois, Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kan
sas, Indiana and Ohio. These are the
corn surplus states. Corn occupies
one-third Of the area in crops of all
kinds in the United States, other than
pasture, and over four-fifths of the
farms raise corn United States leads
the world in corn production and Ar
gentina ranks second.
