SAVE SEED CORN
SAYS MIR. PATTON
Secretary of Agriculture Says
That Farmers Must Take
Care of the Unlucky Ones

Every farmer in Pennsylvania who
has had a successful corn crop and
plenty of corn that is suitable for
seed purposes is urged by Secretary
of Agriculture Charles e. Patton to
take immediate steps to save double
the usual amount of seed corn that
he has put away in former years.
Secretary Patton says: Much
more than the usual acreage of corn
VIII be asked to be planted next
spring and now is the best time to
select and save the necessary seed.
In many sections the early frosts
nave destroyed and damaged the
corn crop and left practically no
seed for next year. These localities
VIII be calling upon others for their
corn seed next spring and we want
an ample and full supply of the very
best types that are adaptable to the
various sections of this state.
SO much of the crop in some sec
tions is soft through being frost bit
ten that it IS unfit for seed and these
sections must draw upon other sec
tons for their supplies Farmers
should Immediately arrange for their
seed for next season and the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Harrisburg
is willing to assist if requests are sent
at once so that an available supply
can be reserved. Farmers must ar
range to secure seed from localities
possessing climatic conditions similar
to their own and there should now
be selected a supply of locally adapt
ed seed for the 1918 planting. In
many sections it was impossible to
sow the increased acreage intended
for wheat and rye and this ground
VIII likely be available for a big in
crease in the corn acreage next year.

PUTS COFFIN IN CHINESE
ROAD AS AUTO PROTEST

Peking, Nov. Chinese coolies
have devised an effective means of
protesting against speeding automo-
biles.
A few days ago an automobile be-
longing to a prominent Chinese Off
cial killed a Chinese child near the
Summer Palace. The chauffeur was
arrested, but released upon payment
of a very small fine.
In expression of their disapproval
of the courts action, the parents of
the child and their neighbors erected
q matshed in the middle of the road
on the very spot where the child was
killed, under which the coffin was
placed. Inscriptions were frosted on
the sides of the coffin denouncing
the injustice of the court.
Since then the main road has been
abandoned by traffic, but officials ap-
parently have not dared to remove
the body, which is watched constant
ly by friends of the bereaved fam
lily.
