The corn crop is gong to be
short over the greater part of the
country and especially so in most
parts of Mississippi, which is due
to the exceedingly bad season.
SO Will the wheat crop be short,
which has already been felt in
the high price of flour. When
ever wheat advances in price,
corn and oats make sympa-
thetlc advance, therefore, with
the high price of wheat and the
Snort crop of corn we can expect
corn to be rather expensive next
year. and for those who have
made a short crop Of corn this
year some system must be prac
tlced that will give the farmer q
suITlclent amount of feed without
having to purchase it. |, as
your Demonstration Agent, sug
ges5 the planting of large
acreage to oats.
There are a number of farm
ers who will not have seed oats
IN sufficient quantity to plant the
acreage they should. The farm
er who has only a limited amount
OF oats can trade corn for oats or
either sell corn and buy oats with
the proceeds of the corn. The
farmer who has made a small
crop of corn will feel that he can
not afford to sell corn and pur-
chase oats, but he is the very
farmer who can better afford to
do this. He is the man who will
need feed most next spring and
the one who can least afford to
purchase same, but he can take
the money obtained from the sale
of two bushels of corn and buy
three bushels of oats which, if
planted this fall, will give HIM a
yield of twenty to thirty bushels
next June when he will most
need feed for his hard worked
stock.
In addition to augmenting his
supply of feed. the farmer will
get cover crop on his land that
will prevent erosion to a certain
extent, take up the soluble plant
food that would otherwise leach
out the soil and give some graz
ing for his stock a large part of
the winter.
The writer does not suggest
the planting of oats only to the
farmer who is short of grain
feed. but, also. 70 the farmer
who has his cribs filled with corn
and oats. Oats should be a
money crop to the farmer who
has lots of feed, and it is crop
that will likely be in great de-
mand next summer when the
average cotton farmer needs
money to help in the transaction
of his business.
To those who will buy seed
oats, want to give this, advice i:
If you are not sure that the
oats you are buying are free of
smut, then treat same to kill all
smut spores. have seen fields
of oats where fifty per cent or
more have been DESTROYED by
smut. Your Demonstration
Agent will instruct you in trea :
ing seed oats if you are not ia
miliar with the treatment. 1t IS
not only necessary that your seed
oats be free of smut, but you
should use the right variety, and
only those from farmers who
have good seed which they have
been selecting, and which were
grown in your own county. For
Mississippi conditions, | would

Modified by Agreement
Reached Today.

London, Eng, April 2O.-At a meet
ing today Of the British cabinet an
agreement was reached upon the pro-
posals that the ministers will make to
parliament on the subject Of recruiting.
Their proposals will be submitted at a
secret session to each house or parlia-

1t is understood that a proposition

opening the voluntary enlistment
scheme for a month or six weeks and
that this proposal was accepted in prin-
ciple by the cabinet with view to as
certaining whether sufficient men
would come forward for military ser
vice without the introduction Of gem
eral compulsion.
The labor members, however. demand
that all facts and figures regarding the
military situation and requirements
shall be submitted to the house OF
commons before they consent to any
measure OF universal CONSUMPTION
CONSUMPTION still Possible.
Up to Wednesday the labor members
had steadfastly refused to listen to any
proposition concerning universal con-
scription. 1t is understood, however.
that at the cabinet meeting Wednesday
when the ministry was about to be dis
rupted, Arthur Henderson made com
promise proposal for further trial or
the voluntary service, which was to be
followed by compulsioD if the necessary
number of men demanded by the army
council was not forthcoming.
Attacks upon the cabinet have been
confined to a small group Of London
newspapers, which have a wide pOpU-
lar circulation, and to few politicians.
The only alternative proposed to the
present cabinet was one to be organ

Washington, D. C.. April Ex-senator
Newlands today introduced in the SEN

London, Eng, April 20.-As the result
Of the seizure Of German and Austrian
subjects aboard the China mail liner
China last February while bound from
Shanghai for the United States, the in

The American headquarters OF the
plotters is said to be on the Pacific
coast. At least one ship is known to
have sailed from San Francisco with
a German crew and Indian conspirators

 Apparently the impression. is grow ing in England that the legal profes- sion is costing the tax payers more than it deserves, that is is securing a share of the public revenues altogeth- CT out of proportion to the number of it's members. The roll of lawyers in Great Britain is far smaller than in the United States and there are far more handsome plums to be distribut- ed. Admiral Jellicoe's services are bringing him a financial reward of less than S10,OOO year and Sir John French, Field Marshall, commanding the British army in France, was on the pay sheet at s7,000.
 In the old time public life of Great Britain there was a reason in theory for payments to the lgal members of the cabinet and officers of the crown higher than given their colleagues in other fields of work Most statesmen came from the old families. the tradi- tional ruling caste. They were sup posed to be men of hereditary wealth who were willing to give their servica for the public welfare, while the legal officials were professional men who must sacrifice their private practice when holding office. In the later day of democracy, particularly with the Liberal party whose leaders include a large number of lawyers. the old tra- dition does not apply. The Prime Min ister, the Home Secretary, the Minis ter of Munitions, the Chancellor of the .xchecquer. and several lesser mem bers of the government are lawyers, yet draw far smaller incomes than their colleagues performing no more important legal duties.
 From another point of view the f. 
 nancai burden of the law falls less heavily upon the country as usual. War conditions have brought great de- creases of business for the courts.
