R. s. WARNOCK
Makes Few Statements to the
 Voters of Nevada County

Mir. Bush says that National Bank Guaranty Act would not guarantee deposits in State Banks. This I know as we'll as MT. Bush. But should Congress pass a Bank Guaranty of Depos- its for National Banks, deposits in State Banks would naturally seek security in National Banks. Thus it is plain to be seen that each State would be compelled to and would immediately pass similar laws for the State banks. This would, in. turn, absolutely secure our circulating medium and a panic would be a thing of the past.
 On page 10 of his pamphlet sent out, MT. Bush further states that it is not true that all panics are caused by a lack of confi- dence and cites you to the panic of 1893 to prove this fact. But his proof disproves what he says. For his proof he says that the Secretary of the U. S. Treasury, in collision with the bankers of New York, had de- liberately planned and agreed to lend no more money and to call in their outstanding loans. For this reason he states that the panic was on. This is exactly what l have cOntended and told the people throughout the Dis trict: That withdrawals of our money from circulation has caused every panic from the inception of this Government, and 1 challenge MT. Bush to dis prove this fact. l want to say to you, Mir. Bush, if you are fighting for the banks, why not come out in the open and let the people know where you stand? R. s. WARNOCK.

SEED SELECTION
Farmers Urged to Pick Out the
 Best Corn for Planting

No man would be foolish enough to try to make a sheep out of goat. Likewise no man need expect to grow the best of corn from poor seed. If any man expects to go to the expense jof owing or renting land for corn breaking the land, planting, ferti- ! lizing and cultiyating the corn, why shouldn't he take full ad- vantage of such work by increas- ing the yield through the use of good seed, said W. C. Lassetter assistant director of the exten ton work, discussing Arkansas corn acreage and yield.
 Hundreds of men over Ark an sas are growing corn of the high est quality because they take pride in selecting only the best of seed corn for planting purpos- es," he said. Tn spite of the experience of these men thousand of others who pay little attention to the character of corn used in planting claim that Arkansas is not corn growing state. Ark ansas can be made to rank among the best of states for corn grow ing if each man would so work his place as to add a little humus to his soil each year, break a lit tle.bit deeper each year, culti- vate a little better each year and select little better seed corn for planting.
 Few people realize that Ark ansas each year has more acres in corn than in cotton. But the two and one-halt millions acres in corn have made only about 20 bushels per acre. Many thous- ands of acres worked with the assistance of the farm demon ostration forces during the psst few years have yielded averages of 30, 35 and 38 bushel per acre.
 The amount produced has fall en far short of that needed in the state and thousands of cars are shipped annually. There is no doubt but that if good seed selection were properly practIc- ed on every farm in Arkansas the average yield could be in- creased by six or eight bushels per acre.
 1nsswalking through a hun dred acre corn field in Arkansas bottoms in the summer of 1914, l was attracted by a noticeable number of barren stalks. There seemed such a large proportion of these that l stopped to count the barren and the productive stalks on several rows th 'ough the entire length of the field.
 The count showed that 33 per c mt ofsthe stalks full grown and mature had not produced grain of corn. While poor seed is ret r sponsible for all barren stalks II is an established fact that much seed corn following several years of poor selection will pro- dute many stalk that never bears a kernel of corn. Just be- cause corn will sprout and pro- duce some sort Of stalk Is not a certain indication it is good seed corn. The ability to pro- duce bushels of corn per acre should be the outstanding char acteristic of the corn used in planting the crop, and that abil- Iity will rest largely with the care used in selecting the seed jeal after year. Variety alone does not determine the yield because the best of varieties are ruined by failure to select good seed anC no variety is 80 poor that it can not be improved by careful selec. ton.
