SELECTED SEED CORN

Fisid-Nsight Of Ear, Length %

Among Points to %
Considered.

n. production Of good yields Of
corn requires fertile soil, proper prep.
aration and tillage OF the land. and
good seed. The rainfall Ia also in-
portant, but since we have to accept
the seasons az they come, we may
disregard this factor in discussing the
question of better corn. After every.
thing possible has been done for the
next crop in the way Of improving the
fertility Of the soil and putting IL IN
nrst-class condition to plant. the very
best seed that It 10 possible to obtain
should be planted. IL one has . good
variety Of corn on his place we do not
hesitate to say that the best seed pos
slble for him to plant can be obtained
from his own field. II is a law Of ma
ture In both plant and animal life that
nike produces like" II one Of two
stalks Of corn grown under the same
conditions of soil and seasonal influ.
ences and with like area Of ground
produces twelve ounces OF grain and
the other only ten ounces, the
chances are that the grain from the
high producing stalk will yield like
increased amount OF grain. That this
does not always hold true IL because
OF the tendency OF corn to be thor
oughfy mixed In the field by pollen
from all sorts Of stalks reaching the
silks and fertillzing the grain: but II
one 10 careful to select only the best,
the tendency will be to improve the
yielding quality Of the corn from year
to year.
Select SEED Corn In the Field.
In the early fall 60 into the neld
aAd select seed corn from stalks that
have Xielded the most corn, making
sure that the stalk has not been ia
vored By better soil and that there Ii
not . skip in the stand on either side
Of Il. Note should also be taken Of
the height Of the ear from the
ground. The ear should be less than
half way from the ground to the top
OF the stalk. The shank should be %
moderate length. 50 that the point OF
the ear will tip downward when ma
ture. and the ear should also be we'll
covered. with the shuck tightly closed
over the tip. This 10 one OF the most
effective safeguards against wecvils.
II the corn IL not gathered at the
time Of seed selection the stalks
chosen may be bent down below the
ear 50 that 30 troubls win be had In
finding them iates.
Protect Against Wssvn.
After the selected ears have been
gathered they should be stored IN some
place Inaccessible to weevils. or pro
vision should be made for treating
the corn with high life" In case wee
Wis should appear. Some time before
planting all Of the selected carr
should be shucked and the crop from
the best ears should be chosen fes
that purpose. The show" ear may
not produce q greater amount OF corn
per acre than the rough ear, but on

BOYS SUCCESSFUL FARMERS
Group Of rs From Highland Park Work
80 Acres Plat Near Pontiac.

Lansing-One OF the most success.
full efforts of school boys to increase
food production in the United States
in keeping with the proclamation of
President Wilson is that of the High
land Park group Of boys who are
camped on the l.. w. Smell farm on the
Perry street road from Pontiac.
There are 20 to % boys from the
Highland Park high school at the
farm continuously and they are filling
so acres of land in farm and truck
crops. The lads work five hours a day
on the crops and spend the rest Of
the day in recreation, study and mill
tary training. An effort is being made
to add rs more youths to the camp
for the rest of the summer. BY ar
rangement with the school authorities
they may remain there until October,
when all the crops will have been har-
vested.
The boys have a baseball diamond
and a croquet grounds, besides in
dulging in cross country hikes and
fishing expeditions. They are being
given credit in the Highland Park
schools for study in advanced botany
and English. An arrangement is made
whereby each boy pays his board and
is TO be refunded the money from the
sale If the crops this fall.

STRIKE OF MINERS

CAUSING WALkoUT IN
UPPER PENINSULA.
DEMAND Sc FOR SIX HOUR DAY
Declare Force VIII Be Used to Prevent
Mines From Being Operated
BY Strike Breakers.

Bessmer, Mich.-Treason, calling
World, has struck to break the right
arm of American industry in this war
and cripple American building,
American shell-making, American war
winning.
Unhearalded by the booming OF
great guns or the dash of soldiers "go-
ing over the top" the l. w. WIS drive
to close the great iron mines of the
Gogebic range began Monday morning
with the strike of the miners at the
Colby-Ironton and Yale mines.
In itself, compared to the number
of men at work on the range, the num-
bers are not the significant thing here.
The sinister aspect of the thing is
what they represent, the l. w. w, and
the fact that the l. w. w. has been
kissing treason into the ears of the
miners through all the iron and copper
country.
At meeting Sunday, which was at
tended by 300 miners, a general strike
was ordered by vote of 1S9 to 30. A
uuiHDST pIeseHJ ulu HOl NOlS.
The strikers declared that force
would be used to prevent the mines
from being operated by strike break
ers.
To assist in quelling disorders the
mounted constabulary of the state ar
rived here to take charge of the situa-
ton. These men were sent to the dis
trict by the action of Governor A. e.
Sleeper, who acquainted himself with
the conditions here in a personal visit
last week.
Mine superintendent, the police and
the sheriff have sworn in large num-
Der of deputies.
Mine owners declared they could
not meet the demands of the men,
which include wages Of Sc for six hours
work a day for underground workmen
and 81 for eight hours work on the
surface.

troit troops is on its way to the battle
front. The Sixteenth regiment, Uni
ted States engineers, under Col. Harry
Burgess, left the state fair grounds

were ended, the regiment, known as
the Sixth until short time ago, hav-
ing been modified at the state fair
grounds for the last two months.
Cheers greeted the announcement of
Col. Burgess. No soldiers were per-
mitted to leave the camp after the re-
ceipt of the order. Future movements
of the regiment will not be made
known for reasons of safety.
One thousand two hundred officers
and men are in the regiment.

WILL CALL ALIENS TO C0L0RS
Military Committee Reports FavorabIy
On Bill to Draft Foreigners.

Washington-The senate military
committee unanimously decided aliens
of military age now in this country
must serve in the American army or
leave the country. 1t is estimated more
than 100000 slackers are now in the
United States.
The committee voted to report favor
ably the resolution by Senator Cham
berlain, drafting the aliens. 1t is ex-
pected the bill will be passed by the
senate.
The resolution has been changed to
exempt all aliens who cannot under
treaty or law become citizens. This
includes Chinese and Japanese. Enc
my aliens and subjects of countries
with which the United States has
treaties exempting them from military
service are also EXCLUDED in the draft.
The Chamberlain resolution provides
that:
"All aliens resident in the United
States for more than one year, exclu-
sive of alien enemies and alien sub
jects of any country allied with the
enemy country, who have not declared
their intention to become citizens, or
subjects of nations who are prevented
by treaty from becoming citizens, shall
be subject to the draft
ALIENS who are subjects Of coun-
tries which have treaties exempting
their subjects from compulsory or 9TH
er military service are exempt upon
application of their diplomatic repre-
sentatives.
ALIENS who claim exemption will
be allowed 80 days to leave the coun-
try and otherwise will be deported."

Wooden Soldiers.

The latest batch of recruits were
giving their sergeant an unbelievable
amount of trouble. He was an old
soldier of 30 years experience, and the
poor attempts of his new squad TO
understand the mysteries of army drill
nearly drove him frantic, says the
London Chronicle. At last, in despera-
ton, he called the men to stand at
ease, as he wished TO tell them little
story. II was this: when l was a
tiny boy" he said, 81 had a box of
wooden soldiers. One day lost them,
and cried bitterly. They told me not
to worry, as they'd turn up some day
and now, TO think that after forty
years I've just found the little devils"

ENGLAND Raises No SUGAR.

One Of the leading shortages in
England today is the sugar shortage.
This is due largely to the fact that
there is no domestic production of
sugar whatever. In line with her new
policy of raising necessities at home
England has subsidized a company to
raise sugar beets and set up a sugar
factory. Climate and soil are said to
be favorable. A tract of $500 acres
has been set aside. The treasury has
assured the enterprise of backing to
the extent of S625,000. To get this
subsidy in accordance with British law

Chiefs Estimate This Huge Sum Re-
CURED for First Year of War.

Washington - Secretary McAdoo
practically justified the statement by
Senator Smoot that the first year of
the war would cost this country about
SIT 900 100000
The secretary told the senate finance
committee that past, pending and pro-
posed expenditures would amount to
S11, 651, $4,000.
Mr.. Smoot had included in his esti-
mate the past loan of $4,000, 000, 900 to
the Allies, another probable loan of
50 1000, 00O, 900 and $50,0OO,O0O for the
shipping board.
II was in response to the request
from the committee that the secretary
furnished the estimate of the enor-
nous sums required. He said that of
the $11, 651 100000, about $10,735 ,S07,-
900 would be spent in one year.

ARMY NEEDS $4,000 DOCTORS
TWO Out of Every Nine, % to SIS Years
Old, Will Be Called.

Washington-Fully $4,000 physi.
clans, or two out of every nine of mill
tary age in the country, will be need
ed by the new American armies, the
war department announced, in addition
to 10000 enlisted men who must be
procured for the medical corps.
Half of these physicians and enlist
ed men will be needed by October 1.
They already are going into training
camps to fit them for service at the
rate of 200 day at Fort Riley, Kan. !;
Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind. Fort
Oglethorpe, Ca; Fort Des Moines, Ia,
and Allentown, Pa.
Three months training is given the
officers and men. About 1880 Off
GERS and men are now under training
at these camps.
The demand for physicians is prob
ably the heaviest made by the war on
any profession and the department
says the medical men of the country
are meeting it readily.
There are approximately 10000 ply
sicians of military age, 22 to So years,
in the country. By system of selec-
ton these will be modified and drawn
from each community in proportion
to the number available, so as not to
leave any community without ade-
quate protection.
After their three months training a
detachment of the medical officers for
each regiment will be sent to each
national army, national guard and reg
ular army camp ahead OF the troops
to supervise preparations necessary
for safeguarding health.
