Where the increase is five BUSH
els per acre there would be seven
acres upon which this increase
would be secured from one buShel
of corn and the increased value
would then be 7 x $.75x5 or $2o.75.
The best corn, of course, does
not have a commercial value of
$82.25 per bushel for it can be
purchased at a lower price. The
figures are given to show that
poor corn should not be sown and
that it is dear at any price.
Loss in yield by inferior gerni-
nation can be estimated in the
same way that the gains on super
ior seed corn are figured. The
farmer just simply cannot afford
to plant any kind of seed corn that
is not the very best that is to be
had. Now is the time of the year
to be getting seed corn picked out.
The seed that comes from your
neighbor and is acclimated to the
conditions of Dawson County is
the best kind of seed to plantA If
it is necessary to get seed from the
seed houses only the most reliable
houses should be dealt with.
There are several varieties Off

The Value Of

adapted to the type of farming
that is usually practiced in the
newly settled prairie regions of thu

being paid to the growing of corn
Corn is crop that lends itself to q

ing of stock. 1t can be handled
on large acreages, and is a most
valuable crop for the cleaning of
foul weeds out of the fields and
preparing the ground for the small
grains. There is no doubt that
corn is to be one of the most i'm
portant crops of Dawson County.
In the successful culture of corn
there are several factors to be con-
sidered-good seed, proper plant
ing, cultivating, harvesting and
storing.
This article is written in the
hope that some information can
be offered that will caution the
farmer against the use of inferior
seed.
The value of good seed can
hardly be over-emphasized. The
cheapness of the seed is not
measured by the price per bushel,
the price this year varying from
$3.50 to $500. The best way to
Judge the value of seed corn is to
figure from the production end
rather than from the seed end.
The production of corn should be
measured in terms of the dry
matter and the number of bushels
Of mature corn per acre. 1t has
been proven that the large fodder
corns do not produce as much dry
natter as some of the earlier
corns and that they do
not have as great a feeding value
per acre. In most cases it is better
% judge the merit of a certain
variety of corn by the number of
nature corn produced that it is to

Now, considering the value of

better grades of seed corn. One

Wilson Will Haze to Decide
Status of Prussian-American
Treaty of 1928 at Once

, Washington, d. c.. Feb. G. - The
status of the Prussian- Am erican treaty
of 1928 is one of the first things Presl-
dent Wilson will have to decide as q
result of breaking off relations with
Germany.
Originally negotiated and known as
the treaty of 1893, all it's terms were
included I'm the later treaty of 1928,
when it expired by limitation.
The United States considered the
treaty obsolete and no American Of
ficial ever believed its terms would be
invoked until Germany suddenly took
advantage of them when called upon
to settle for sinking the American sail
ing ship William p. Frye early in the
war.
Examination of the terms of the al
most forgotten convention shows that
1t contains provisions which, IL per-
mitted to stand. might prevent the
United States from confiscating Ger
man war bound ships in American
harbors in case of war. 1t also con-
tains the provision for the departure
OF nationals from either country men,
toned in to-day's Berlin dispatches.
How the United States would regard
a proposal for a special re-ratifcation
or the treaty is not clear at this time.
The impression prevails in some quar-
ters that 1t might be more desirable to
denounce the treaty than to give 1t
new force.

Transportation Lines,
Munitions Plants and
Buildings Being Guarded

New York, Feb. 6. - Precautions
taken by State and municipal au-
torities in the lace of the in
ternational crisis were directed
mainly toward transportation lines
and munitions centers and public
buildings and utilities. The greatest
watchfulness was exercised in New
York Central and the vicinity, but
guards stationed at the bridges over
the Hudson river at Poughkeepsie and
Albany emphasized the strategic i'm
portance of this great waterway di-
viding New England from the rest
of the United States.
About 5000 men of the National
Guard are under arms. OF these, o.
400 are infantrymen and 600 are
members of tie naval militia. This
force is aided in guard duty by sew
eral thousand munition policemen,
railroad detectives and special officers
employed by the public service COM
mission. Approximately 10000 more
National Guardsmen are awaiting call
to active service.
Machine Guns on Bridges
In this city special vigilance is ex-
span the East river above and below

are posted between the bridge piers on
both sides of the river.

Heavy Guard Is Thrown
Around Munitions Plants
in and Near Philadelphia

Philadelphia, Feb. 6.-The tension
created here by the crisis between the
united States and Germany has re-
suited in strengthening and tight
ening of guard lines about all govern
ment property and privately owned
munition plants.
Plants of tremendous military i'm
portance are located in and near this
city, including the Frankford and
Schuylkill arsenals and the big arma-
ment plants that are turning out
thousands of tons of war materials.
All of these places were under heavy
guard when the gates opened to-day.
:. Government agents are combing the
lists of employees at all munition plants
to eliminate "undesirables." City po-
ncemen. both in uniform and in civil
ian clothes are on duty at the post
office, the custom house, the quar-
termaster's depot and the two gov
ernment arsenals.

rs Interned Merchantmen
at NeW York Held Aboard

New York, Feb. 6. - Nearly two
thousand officers and men, remnants
of the crews of the twenty-five Ger
man merchantships which were laid
up here at the beginning of the war,
are virtually prisoners on board
their vessels. The federal authorities
explained that German seaman were
not forcibly detained, but simply re-
quested' to remain on their ships.
Members of the crews, however who
returned from shore leave last night
and to-day We're notified by the police
men they would have to stay there.
Collector Malone of the port of New
York let it be known that his guards
were stationed to prevent the German
sailors from violating the immigration
laws by deserting their ships and stay
ing ashore without passing the Gus
tomary immigrants inspection.
Mr.. Malone denied that the govern
ment contemplated SEEING the Ger
man ships. 1t was pointed out that
since these vessels were peaceful
merchantmen and not ships of war
such an act would be contrary to in
ternational law.

Of munitions, a proper ministry of
