Washington, Oct. S.-The War de-
for the transportation of millions more
men and billions of dollars worth more
munitions and supplies, in ease of pos
sibility of a desperate conflict before
the war is ended.
In a pinch the normal freight and
passenger traffic of the nation would
be reduced TO q minimum, and prac-
tically nothing would move but men
and materials for war.
IL is learned that complete plans
are in the hands OF the war depart
ment for the turning of all freight, fiat
and cattle cars into troop trains and
ell day coaches and Pullmans into hos
pital trains. Tie plan even includes
making hospital trains out of box cars
In emergency.
For War Purposes First.
Another plan has been proposed
whereby every ton of railroad equip.
ment in the country quickly would
be turned into rolling stock to move
unprecedented tons of war supplies
speedily to destinations anywhere In
the land. Every emergency has been
prepared for. The war department
has kept constantly In mind theS pos.
sibility that America really may have
to make war to the last man and
the last ton OF material before the
balance against kaiserlsm is swung

sary the American people will be
called upon to make sacrifices of per

"The tactics they advised toward Germany

ductivi.y rather than because Of any advan-
tags Of space, fertility or moisture they may
possess In a full stand seed should be
selected from stalks which have had no adj
vantage over surrounding stalks, but reveal
their inherited superiority by producing
more ears or longer ears than any Of the
surrounding stalks
Fall field selection Is the only proper
method Of seed-corn selection, because only
then and there can one be sure that the
stalk did not have advantages of space, soil
fertility or moisture.
"0ther things being equal, pendent ears
are preferable. Rain water does not readily
reach and injure such ears. Tillers or suck

bred out by taking seed only from stalks
that have no tillers.
"By selection the tendency 10 proliAcacy
or many ears to the stalk can be increased
Except for fodder corn or slage corn, a
large number of small ears to the stalk is
less desirable than two large ears.
Large ears should be preferred, but the
size should be due TO great length rather
than to great diameter Very thick ears
are slow in drying, and often spoil. Long
broad and thick kernels are preferable
Slender, close-ftting kernels are slow in
drying, and when planted usually start
growing with less vigor than large, heavy
kernels.
Lest we be deceived and become mere
carriers Of water We must avoid taking
seed from stalks that are too tall, too late
to mature thoroughly or have sappy ears.

largest ear Of corn. II was thirteen and a

Three months later it had shrunk to ten and
a half inches in length and one pound in
weight"

IT he Socialists Are in a State
/ OF lronic Confusion

"Internationalism has to-day become liv-
ing thing, and it is not without some ironlc
satisfaction that one points out TO the ele-
ments in the Socialist party which are now
opposing Americas participation in the war
that they themselves have had much to do
with bringing the world to see that TO think
only OF your own country is narrow
patriotism and that you must wish for the
GOOD of humanity as much abroad as al
home. Now that America is crossing the
ocean lust for these reasons the Socialists
are suddenly in n panic, feel quite differ
emily about internatonalism and are not
willing TO sacrifice single precious Social
istic life TO make patriotism broader or TO
do good to countless millions of humanity
abroad But they are, as IT were, neatly
hoist with their own petard. Who Is the
hotter internationalist-the man here hiding
from registration or the man over there
fighting for France and England and the new
Russia and perhaps new Germany, as well
rs for his own America? It would seem that
what was broad and fine and generous and
human in the Socialist doctrine Of interna-
tional amty has been adopted by America

tionalists, trembling with fear, are valnly
irving TO call back the water which they
