Save Your Own Seed

More people should save their own seed oats and seed wheat It is we'll to rememb Der that if you have a good variety of grain on your farm, it is undoubtedly better adapted to your local con ditions than anything which you can ship in from a distance. In supplying your own seed, you are not taking the risk of i'm porting on your farm q number of noXious weeds which are like ly to be found in seed brought in. In every case, however, small grain seed should be cleaned be- fore planting. The simplest way to clean seed oats and seed wheat is to use the flaming mill, which separates not only the weed seed but the light and imperfect grains,

COTTON CROP IS 72 PER CENT
 NORMAL
Yield of l2,653,OOO Bales Indicated by
 Reports of July 26

Memphis, July 29-The con- dition of the growing crop is 72 per cent of normal according to reports from all parts of the belt, of average date of July 26. This compares with a condition of 701 on June 25 and 7O3, the official government figures for the same date, Last year the of ticial figures of July 25 were 723 and the average of the past ten years on this date has been TIA.
 The condition of 72 per cent indicates a yield of 12,653,0O0 bales, according to the govern ment's method of calculating, provided weather connitions are normal for the remainder of the season.
 The improvement In this crop has resulted largely from good rains over the entire belt in the last half of the month. However. the rains did some damage by reason of their excess in many localities, and the entire state of North Carolina reports consid- erable impaired condition as result of the heavy, almost inces sant rains for two weeks. Texas also shows slight retrogression in the crop status as result of drouth over the state during the first half of the month, and over the Southern and Western sec tions up to the date of filing of these reports. There has been some scattered relief in these sections, but it has been only partial. In the North and East the crop is improving at the mo ment as a result of plenty of moisture in the soil and good growing weather conditions.
 Elsewhere, improvement has been general, at it's greatest gains in the Central valley.

RICE CROP HARD HIT BY SALT
 SAYS FARMER
L. M. Hebert Declares Rain Badly Need ed Believes Only Half of Crop
 Will Be Saved

Even though it should rain plentifully it will be impossible
 or the rice farmers on the Nc tadden canal to make better than d half crop this year and unless It does rain the crops, especially that of Honduras rice, will be ruined, according to L. M. He bert. who owns a large rice farm on the McFadden canal
 The rain of last week helped the farmers for few days, Mr. Hebert said. the beneficial result only lasting for short time and now the farmers are needing rain as badly as ever. Before the last rain the water at the in take of the McFadden canal con talned about 40 grains of salt to the gallon and since tt.e rain it contains something like 300 grains. This condition is ac- counted for by Mr. Hebert due to the fact that the water coming down the river pushed the salt water down to the mouth of the canal.
 Ordinarily the yield of rice is between eight to ten sacks per acre, but under the most fayora- ble conditions rice farmers are of the opinion that it will be i'm. possible to get better than four or five sacks to the acre this year.
 MT. Hebert, however. is of the opinion that the farmers of the upper rice belt will be able to go without rain great deal longer than those in the lower portions of the belt for the reason that they do not have to contend with the salt water menace to the ex- tent which the farmers of the lower sections do.
 The rice crop has just started Jo head out and is needing more water at the present time than it will at any time during the sea son. Ordinarily at this time of the year the farmers bring their irrigation plants into service and pump the water necessary to the proper cultivation of the crop. but as conditions are at present fthe river water usually used for that purpose is too salty and would ruin the crop Beaumont Enterprise.

GUN MAKERS TELL STORY
Held Up and Constantly Delayed by
M in.. War Department.

s tHtp War Department.
Washington Dec Voluntary
offers by machine gun and rife man
ufacturers to rush their factories at
top speed TO equip the American
Army, before the United States went
into the war against Germany were
rebuffed by the War Department, ac-
cording to evidence given today be-
for the Military Affairs Committee of
the Senate.
AS long ago as Feb. 5 least, when
the United States broke off relations
with Germany, so Louis E. Stoddard,
President of the Marlin-Rockwell
Company, testified, he urged General
Crozier and others of the Ordnance
Department to allow him to make ma
chine guns for the army. Bue the
oInance officials, he said, went into
prolonged parleys over types OF guns
and made changes in design that put
back the work OF making guns six
months
While Admiral Earle Chief Ordn.
ance officer of the Navy, told Mr.
Stoddard at an interview in Wash
ington on Feb, g. to go ahead and
make al 1.-The guns his plant could
turn out, the WarDepartment, Mr.
Stoddard said, refused to listen to
him. II the War Department had ac.
Cepted in February his offer and
those of other manufacturers of guns
Mr.. Stoddard said there would now
be machine guns of American make
in France for the American troops
instead of the Government being
forced to rely on France and Great
! Britain
More delay occurred in adopting
the modified type of Enfield rifle by
the War Department, according. to
Henry S. Kimbal, Vice President Of
the Remington Arms Company. AL.
though his firm offered the Govern
ment the entire output of its factory
Immediately after the United States
declared war against Germany, the
plant was not taken over by the Gov
eminent until July. Similar delay
applied to the plants of other manu-.
facturers who we're eager to rush
their factories in the making Of muni
tons for the American Army.

Diabetes is invariably the resua OF
impaired nutrition-this results in
an excess OF sugar in the blood and
failure OF the food to nourish. hence
: gradual wasting away while eating
well
SYMPTOMS OF the disease are, in
creased thirst, excess OF urine, ema'
