WHITE AND YELLOW
CORN VIE FOR FAVOR
National Organization Urges
More of White Cereal Be
Raised in West.
SOUND WORD OF CAUTION
(From a Staff Correspondent

Lincoln. May 1.-(Special )-Secre-
tary Danielson of the State Board OF
Agriculture received a message today
from Harry L, Hawkell, secretary
fthe National Association OF White
Corn Millers, in which he urges that
more attention be given to the raising
OF white corn this year, contending
that the demand will be great for
flour grits and hominy to help out the
known wheat shortage and therefore
white corn will demand better price
than the yellow variety
Secretary Danielson, while OF the
opinion that it might be well to plant
more white corn to take the place OF
the acreage of wheat that had to be
plowed up, insists the farmers should
not forget that the cattle of the
country will have to be fed and fat
tened and that the meat problem OF
the future is of as much consequence
as the other food problems and that
thre must be a big crop of yellow
corn to take care of the feeding of
stock.
