ALICE BRADY
FHJST PROOF CORN
Is NOW 4 POSSIBILITY

Washington, April 23,-ln this age
Of wonderful achievements, frost
proof corn is among the possibilities
of attainment. When a corn is bred
that will withstand spring and fall
Irosts and grow at low temperatures,
like rye. the reign and territory Of
x ng Corn will be extended and his
powers increased.
Recent work of the Office of Corn
Investigations, Bureau of Plant In
dus,ry, U. S. Department OF Agrcul,
ture, indicates the possibility Of pro-
ducing varieties of frost-proof corn
and varieties that will continue growth
at low temperatures. Some kinds OF
corn have been found to withstand
freezing, both in the spring and in
The fall, and afterwards continue to
grow. Still more encouraging is the
facV that some individual plants Of
these hardy varieties are more endur
ing than other plants of the same Va
riety
At the first signs of spring witt
patches Of snow sill on the ground
seed of these varieties has been plant,
ed and has shown ability to with
,tand frozen ground and spring frosts'
and ultimately to yield well. Plante:
in February, 1917, plants which wer.
several inches high withstood a freeze
On March S. which froze the ground
&c depth of two inches.
Of still more Importance than the
possibility of producing frost-prooG
corn is the possibility Of producing va
rieies of corn that will continaa tt
thrive and produce grain at lowe,
temperatures than existing varieties
There is much territory with long
frost-free periods, where, during
nights or for several wekes during the
growing season, temperatures remain
too low for ordinary varieties.

HUNTING FOR POTTS
Detectives Now Comb Kansas City for
Missing Pastor.

Kansas City, Feb. 16.-Detectives
took up the search here today for the
Rev Louis M. Potts, pastor of the
First Methodist church of Emporia,
Kan. who has been missing since he
left his home to go to New Orleans,
on January 81. Information that he
had been at Kansas City shortly after
that time caused the efforts of the
searchers to be transferred here it
was said. This was to the effect that
he had been here only between trains
and had continued his journey to New
Orleans, where he was reported to
have been on January "a.
The theory that DIR. Potts, who was
considered wealthy, has been robbed
and possibly met with foul play,
gained ground today as the detectives
continued their attempts to find him.
He left Emporia for New Orleans rel
alive to a land deal in that state.
