Announcement by Ambassador Bern

The unsettled state of foreign 81.

Friday and yesterday there was a
marked recovery In demand sterling
from the demoralized state to which
the British pound had fallen earlier In
the week.
On the day that the message from
Germany conveyed by Ambassador
Bernstorff WAS made public sterling had
fallen to 4.5v. or nearly 81 cents below
par. At that rate the American dollar
WAS at a premium: or. IN other words.
the British were paying at the rate OF
3l.U7 for the goods when they were pur.
chasing fr,m the United states.
Immediately British money began tc
climb back almost as rapidly as 1t had
fallen. Several factors contributed to
this recovery. In the first place the
tween the United States and Germany
left the American bankers In q POSI-
ton to enter at once upon negotiations
for the proposed British credit through
which payment may De made for the
large war orders that have been placed
which could not we'll be taken while

over the germ due to a separation OF
the cuticle from its attachment. Again,
II the whole area over the germ is
deeply sunken. it indicates lack Of
maturity and consequent excessive
shrinkage. Failure Of the grain to
separate readily from the cob is an
other indication of lack of ripeness.
A brown or pink discoloration about
the germ or the attached end Of the
seed Is very Objectionable. as is also
the presence of mold or rotten seeds.
Again. upon the general shape Of
the seed depends to some extent the
quantity Of grain produced.
If the seed is very wide. contracts
rapidly to its attachment, and is
rounded without. great deal of
space is left between the kernels that
might just as well be filled. The
grains should fit snugly against each
other at all sides. md a medium
wedge-shape. with small shoulder
at each side above the attached tip
best serves this purpose. AS already
stated in considering the germ. the
seed must not taper too rapidly, other.
wise vacant space will be left next
the cob, and the taper should be alike
on the two sides. the germ being in
the middle. A very thin seed is to
be avoided; 1t gives too little room for
the germ. and generally denotes i'm
maturity.
In q well-ripened. well-cured ear,
the seeds should not give way when
the ear is given slight twist with
the hands. They should support each
other firmly. and when shelled ought
to come free from the cob. with no
sdhering chaf and with the tips en-
tire
The general shape of an ear of corn
may range widely with variety. Some
should, according to present stand.
ards. be cylindrical from butt nearly
to tip, others should taper slowly, and
still others more rapidly and decid-
edly. Yet 1t may be said that in work.
ing for high yield the best results are
likely to be secured with the cylindri-
cal ear. Ears which taper are likely
to bear shallow seeds toward the tip
of the cob. and when shelled out give
too small total weight of grain.
This may be said, l think. in the face
OF the fact that the majority Of rec
ognized varieties. and some of the
very best, taper more or less The
taper ear seems to me likely in the
end to be displaced by its more shape
ly competitor.
The cob should neither be very
small nor excessively large The for
mer indicates lack of vigor. the latter
