Germany has been an object lesson
in preparedness, in the development
of industries to the point OF nation
al independence, in the systematic
encouragement Of every comblna-
ton that would help give Germany
first place in the realm OF COM
merce.
The Webb bill, designed to ex-
clude from the prohibitions Of the
antitrust laws combinations in this
country organized for the export
trade, has been endorsed by Presl-
dent Wilson, but has not yet been
passed. Those who are still opposed
to It would do well to ponder the
news report of Germany's deter
mined effort to recapture her fam
Gus dyestuffs trade destroyed by
the war. The seven biggest German
dye firms, backed by the German
Government, have effected COM
bination to continue for forty years,
pooling their interests to stand
losses and to share profits jointly,
in order to drive the new American
industry out Of the foreign trade.
This is of vital importance to our
manufacturers because the German
is to include pharma-
ceutical chemicals as well as dyes.
Will our Government foster indus
tries that have been temporarily
built upor strengthened by the war,
or will it turn them over to the ruth
less competition of government
backed combinations of other coun-
tries who are especially jealous of
our industrial progress?

TIME TO SAVE

There is only one thing certain
about the financial and commercial
conditions that peace is going t.
bring and that is their uncertainty
1t may be that an era of great pros
perity may be upon US; it may be
an era of stagnation; it may be ar
era Of the severest competition We
have ever experienced.
It involves a paradox, but in this
present time of comparative com.
mercial peace, for the great war has
largely stopped for time the strug.
gle among nations for foreign com.
merce, it is wise thing to prepare
for the economic war tina. will sue.
coed the present worldwide war.
1t is well for every American cit
izen to lay aside in some absolutely
safe security something for that day
that is coming. If it be great pros
perity one will be able to take the
advantage Of it. It it be stagnation
one will be enabled to live through
it. If it be a bitter competition one
will be better able to withstand it.
No better provision could be made
for the future than an investment
in Liberty Loan Bonds. They are alb
solutely safe and no possible condi-
ton can destroy their value; ex-
empt from all taxation except estate
or inheritance taxes the incomes
from them cannot be lessened; with
a market everywhere in the United
States and, as competent financial
authorities assert, a market in every
commercial center in the world
when peace comes, they will be read
lily convertible into cash. They poss-
ess all of the elements that would
attract, sound investing mind in
times of uncertainty.
More than that an American cit
izen investing in Liberty Loan
Bonds in victory, for the proceeds
of the Liberty Loan Bonds are to
win the war and bring peace in Eu-
rope and peace and safety to the
rest of the world.

SELECTED SEED CORN
GIVES BEST YIELDS
Seed Corn Should Be Selected In the
FieId-Heiqht Of Ear, Length OF
Shank, and Shuck Covering
Among Points to Be
Considered.

The production of good yields OF
corn requires fertile soil, proper prep,
aration and tillage of the land. and
good seed. The rainfall is also i'm
portant, but since we have to accept
the seasons as they come, we may
disregard this factor in discussing the
question of better corn. After every
thing possible has been done for the
next crop in the way Of improving the
fertility of the soil and putting 1t in
frst-class condition to plant. the very
best seed that it is possible to obtain
should be planted. II one has good
variety of corn on his place We do not
hesitate to say that the best seed pos
sible for him to plant can be obtained
from his own field. 1t is . law of ma
ture In both plant and animal life that
like produces like" II one Of two
stalks Of corn grown under the same
conditions of soil and seasonal inhu-
ences and with a like area Of ground
produces twelve ounces Of grain and
the other only ten ounces, the
chances are that the grain from the
high producing stalk will yield like
increased amount Of grain. That this
does not always hold true II because
OF the tendency Of corn to be thor.
oughly mixed in the field by pollen
from all sorts Of stalks reaching the
silks and fertilizing the grain; but II
one " careful to select only the best.
the tendency will be to improve the
yielding quality Of the corn from year
70 year.
Select oeed Com IN tl,e Fled.
In the early fall 90 into the field
and select seed corn from stalks that
have yielded the most corn. making
sure that the stalk has not been IA
vored BY better soil and that there IL
not . skip in the stand on either side
Of 1t. Note should also be taken Of
the height Of the ear from the
ground. The ear should be less than
half way from the ground to the top
Of the stalk. The shank should be Of
moderate length, so that the point Of
the ear will tip downward when ma
ture, and the ear should also be well
covered, with the shuck tightly closed
over the tip. This is one of the most
effective safeguards against weevils.
II the corn is not gathered at the
time Of seed selection the stalks
chosen may be bent down below the
ear 50 that no trouble will be had in
finding them later.
Protect Against WeevIL.
After the selected ears have been
gathered they should be stored In some
place inaccessible to weevils, or pro-
vision should be made for treating
the corn with high life" in case wee
wills should appear Some time before
planting all Of the selected ears
should be shucked and the crop from
the best ears should be chosen for
that purpose. The Show" ear may
not produce greater amount of corn
per acre than the rough ear, but on
account Of its high percentage of
grain it will give more actual feed
ing value than the other.
It is desirable also for the corn to
be uniform in type and color, espe.
cially so if it Is ever to be sold for
seed.-W. R. Perkins, State Agent,
Extension Division, Louisiana State
University.

QUIT YOUR KICKING

At the present juncture it Is hard
to be patient with impotence, hard
to look placidly upon the chronic
complainer, hard to listen in cold
blood to the fellow who picks flaws
in the progress Of our great war ef'
fort. t.:
OF course, there are flaws; Of
course some Of our million new sol.
diers will be given shoes that pinch
OF will be fed beans when they pre-
fer truffles. What do complainers
expect, anyway? Is the ordinary
routine Of life 50 well oiled that
every cog runs noiselessly? We
guess not; and when q vast fighting
machine is being improvised from
raw material almost over night, it is
to be expected that every movement
will have q watch finish?
When the most highly organized
automobile engine is produced, do
you imagine when its parts are put
together they begin spinning with
perfect movement from the start?
Not at all; the motor is assembled
and then operated under nearly
traffic conditions for the equivalent
Of hundreds and even thousands Of
miles before the trained ear, hand
and eye Of the examiner pronounces
it perfect.
So quit your kicking! Remember
that part of your "b;t" in this hour
Of needed national cooperation is
not to throw tacks on the thorough
fares or sand into the bearings, but
to supply, even if you do no other
share Of the labor, your quota of re-
signation and good nature. Patriot
ism and patience are very frequent
ly synonymous, and the long-faced
individual, with the vinegar express
sion on his face when he sees a
blunder or even what he conceives
to be one, is an enemy to his coun-
try. Refuse to listen to his crOaking
We have had to grab out thous-
ands of men from peaceful, selfish
occupations and put them to new
tasks as commissioners Of this or
managers Of that war movement,
and some naturally have been found
square pegs in round holes, but
those errors right themselves with
out loud noises from the man with a
crouch.
War is not pleasant shing, and
war work is not congenial to most Of
us, but just as the conflict became a
necessity SO too have the details of
administration become necessities.
Few commissioners enjoy the work
thrust upon them. Don't abuse them,
help them! This big war task of ours
has to be done, and the better we
all work together the quicker the
job will be over and we will all be
able to 60 home and forget Arma-
geddon. 5i /.

 wind finish of the Rally Day campaign

NO ADMISSION FEE
 FOR AUTOS AT FAIR
Machines Will Be Admitted and Parked Without
 Charge This Year

The announcement by officials of the Alabama State Fair association that all automobiles will be admitted free and parked free at the coming Alabama State
 Fair October to 13, is being received
 with keen delight from all automobilists.
 Tn years gone by there was an admS-
 sion fee atN the gate for automobiles but
 this will be eliminated at Alabama's s big
 show this year and no charge will be made Automobile owners can go to the fair and feel that not only will there be no entrance fee on their machines
 but that they will be parked free and cared for while on the grounds. This an- nouncement is in keeping with the policy of the fair officials to give as much as possible for the money.
 Automobile owners in the city have been loud in their praise of the action of the fair officials and many automobile own CTS throughout the state have written letters congratuating fair officials on the step taken. One prominent automobile man in Birmingham, talking on the sub ject, said. .Ihe fair officials certainly have shown themselves liberal in ad- hitting and parking all autos free at the coming fair and l want to say that such action is highly appreciated by the folks of Alabama, Birining- ham and Alabama. l have seen and vis- tied many fairs but l don't know of any that admit automobiles free and then park them free and have them cared for. The fair officials certainly are due many thanks for their liberal policy"
