"We're Not Alarmed"

London.-"We are not alarmed al
the sharpened submarine war. We
knew it was coming and prepared
for it. Time will tell how our con-
fidence is justified"
This statement was made to an
American correspondent at the Ad-
miralty, and it was added:
1T must be remembered that one
submarine may cruise whole days
without getting a victim. For in
stance, on one day since February l
torpedoes We're fired on sight al
seven of our merchantmen without
getting a single hit. We have taken
measures which We have ever reason
to believe will Illustrate, the U-boat
warfare. OF course. it Is obvious
that We cannot reveal them. The
daily reports of the decrease in sink
ings will be the best evidence of our
success"

PLANT CORN
Early in Semi.Arid Regions To
Avoid Danger of Frost.

Corn will not grow during cold
weather as wheat and oats. Corn
planting time is, therefore, little
later than the best time Tor sowing
spring wheat or spring oats. How
ever, according to Farmers Bulletin
773, when seed of perfect vitality is
used, it is remarkable how early in
the spring corn can be planted and
result in good stands and good
yields. Seed of perfect vitality will
often remain in cold or dry soils for
several weeks and afterwards ger
inmate and yield we'll. Irregular
stands are sometimes attributed to
poor seed, when dry, poorly pf,par-
ed spots are the cause. Fields are
sometimes seen in which the seed
terminated promptly in moist spots
but did not germinae in dry spots
until rains came.
Where the seasons are long and
moisture plentiful, it is customary
to wait until the soil is warm before
planting. In semiarid regions, how
ever, corn should be planted early.
With the soil in proper condition il
lis generally advisable in semiarid
regions, south as we'll as north, to
plant corn before danger from frost
is entirely past. Corn planted very
early usually makes slow, tough
growth and month after planting
may be smaller and look less prom
Using than that planted later. The
early planted corn ripens first, how
ever, and usually produces the larg-
er or the better crop. Because of
its slow, tough growth corn planted
very early is not so susceptible to
frost and drought as corn planted
later and growing more rapidly. In
series of wears the gain in mature
corn secured from early planting
Will more than make up for any in
jury from spring frosts. Excellent
corn crops have been produced from
paintings frozen off or frozen back
when the plants We're from a few
inches to a foot or more tall. Corn
is not often entirely killed by spring
frosts, and if some shou'h be in
Jured the loss is much less serious
than that from summer drought or
from fall frost.
Early planted corn derives more
benefit from the spring moisture
supply, becomes well rooted before
summer droughts begin. and NAV
even mature before these drougbts
become severe.
Where the growing season is very
long and warm. paintings made at
about So-day intervals increase the
chances OF hitting the season right
and raising some good corn.

PROTECTION Of FOOD
SUPPLY URGED
By Pre- sident OF The Ma

Society.

New York-Urgent necessity for
the mobilization of the nations food
supply in the event of war was en-
phasized strongly in statement is
sued here by the National Agricul-
tural Society, of which James Will
son, of Iowa, formerly Secretary of
Agriculture in the administrations
of Presidents Mckinley, Roosevelt
and Taft, is president.
In the event of war, with its
notifications of mail power of the
nation, what provision should be
made for the labor necessary to
plant and harvest the crops essen
tial to our food supply?" the state
ment asked: These items are vital
to our well being-quite as vital we
venture to suggest, as many matters
receiving infinitely more attention
al the present time. The country
cannot, we believe, too soon prepare
a program that will care for these
all-important matters"
The society asserted that modern
war is the supreme test of the en-
tire strength of the nation, demand
ing that all national elements work
in close cooperation and according
t. well-prepared program"
ut would, therefore, seem to be
the part of wisdom" the staement
continued, "fOr our country at this
critical time to determine at the
earliest possible moment the state OF
its own food supply and other agricul-
tural resources. At Washington and
elsewhere there is a mass of miscel-
laneOus information relating to our
agricultural resources, but this has
never been interpreted in terms of
the nations possible wartime
needs"

THE OTHER WAY is to put a

Either of these things can be in

In office buildings the practice is
to carry enough steam to keep the
