President to Make An.
nOuncement of New
Scheme Today or
Monday
PLAN TO BECOME
EFFECTIVE AT ONCE
War and Navy Departments TO
Delegate Powers-Priority of
Food Supplies to Be Consid.
cred

Washington, July 27.-The new plan
for making government war purchases.
calling for reorganization Of the com.
m:ttee system of the defense council
probably will be announced by Pres.
ident Wilson tomorrow or Monday and
he put into effect Immediately. The
council was to have approved it today,
but postponed action until tomorrow.
Creation of a war industries board and
priority board to supervise govern
ment buying is the most important
change from the present system. The
war industries board, with Frank
Scott at its head, although making
no actual purchases. will approve all
contracts for war supplies. The pr-
Gritty board will designate the order in
which government contracts shall be
filed.
Delegate Purchasing Powers
Both the War and Navy depart.
ments will delegate purchasing pow
ers TO their representatives on the war
board, and the shipping board prob
ably will be represented on the prior
ity board.
coordination of American and al
lied purchases will he accomplished by
putting the allied purchases under the
war industries board. Bernard Rayuch,
it is understood, will have charge Of
allied purchases. with the question Of
priority of delivery as among thu al
lies themselves left TO the allied mis-.
sions.
Hoover Possibility
Herbert Hoover has been mentioned
as a possible member Of the priority
board to assist in deciding the priority
Of food shipments.
Priority decisions will not stop At
actual government purchases, but will
be extended to purchases by concerns
working on government contracts and
firms supplying them. Some officials
advocate legislation to give the gov
eminent power to decide priority Of
purchases for the general public. be-
lieving that heavy government war
purchases at lower than market prices
may lay the public open to extortlon-
ate charges.
All committees and boards under the
re organization will answer directly to
the var industries board and through
il to the council. Heretofore they have
been under individual members OF the
advisory commission.

Corn Growing.

Corn will not grow during cold
weather as wheat and oats. Corn
planting time is, therefore, little
later than the best time for 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
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 germi-
nate and yield we'll. Irregular stands.
are sometimes attributed to poor seed,
when dry, poorly prepared spots are
the cause. Fields are sometimes seen
in which the seed germinated prompt
ly in moist spots but did not germi-
nate 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 it is
generally advisable in semiarid re-
gions, south as we'll as north, to plant
corn before danger from frost is en-
tirely past. Corn planted very early
usually makes slow, tough growth
and a month after planting may be
smaller and look less pr romising than
that planted later. The early planted
corn ripens first, however, and usually
produces the larger or the better crop.
Because OF its slow, tough growth
corn planted very early is not SO sus.
ceptible to frost and drought as corn
planted later and growing more rap
idly. In series Of years the gain in
mature corn secured from early
planting will more than make up fer
any injury from spring frosts. Excel
lent corn crops have been produced
from paintings frozen off or frozen
back when the plants were from few
inches to foot or more tall. Corn is
not often entirely killed by spring
frosts, and il some should be injured
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 sup
ply, becomes we'll rooted before sum
mer droughts begin, and may even
mature before these droughts become
severe.
Where the growing season is very
long and warm, paintings made al
about 30.day intervals increase the
chances OF hitting the season righl
and raising some good corn.

An Evangelistic Union.
(St. Louis Post-Dispatch.D

The vaudeville players OF the coun-
try having formed union, isn't it
about time the evangelists Of the mod
ern school were doing likewise? The
profession is getting SO crowded with
ex.athletes and ex-this-
and.thate that it is high time some
thing were done to regulate competi-
tion. Time wss when evangelists
were mostly ordained clergymen who
were graduated from pastorates into
the field of evangelism and there was
little difficulty about their credentials.
But in these days when mans pre-
vious ability to land left hook or run
the century dash in 10-flat or field a
bunt is considered a satisfactory ap.
premiership for guide duty along the
sawdust trail, there ought to be some
precautions.
Out in California recently a dusky
young man who said he was Tom
Longboat. the famous indian runner,
had no trouble in getting job at a
revival. After he had given a salts
factory admonishment to the ungodly,
he collected his pay and disappeared.
Then it was discovered that he was
not Tom Longboat but an impostor.
That sort of tn lg is a hardship upon
the bona fide evangelist. After man
has spent the flower of his youth
working up from tbe tlyweight divls-
ion to the 33.pound class. or even the
middleweight, and has finally taken
the good night wallop that serves as
his diploma, it is not fair that he
should be cheated out of his reward
by some brash pretender whose only
idea of kidney punch is that it must
be some new kind of hash.
