Kentucky To &c Called Upon TOT
Seed Germ.

SEED tGrr.
The seed corn situation in many
parts of tho U. S. is very serious thi,
year In the northwest frost came be,
fore scarcely field Of corn had lnu
tured. This section is thus without
new corn suitable for seed, and tba
supply Of old corn has been pretty
thoroughly CLEANED up Ever IN
some of the best corn growing state
such as northern Illinois. northern
Indiana, and northern Ohio, corn Il 4,
tured very imperfcctly duo to tho
cold. cloudy summer. and in many
fectly matured. Az matter of fact,
tbs farmers in these sections say
that there is very little corn suitable
for feed, ana ;he SANE thing is true
Sere as In IKE northwest in reEa.d 10
the exhaustatie& Of old stocks Of corn.
In Texas and Kansas and other parts
ar the southwest, very severe dropth
Syt the crop extremely short. and
very little OF it is suitable for seed,
1t is very necessary that those
parts OF the U. S. where there is
plenty OF seed corn. as in Kentucky,
should make strenuous efforts to save
plenty of their best corn for supply
ing those parts OF the country where
there is a distinct scarcity Of corn
suitable for seed. The varieties Of
corn raised in Kentucky are suitable
for Kansas and other western States
where the drouth cut the crop so
short, and the earlier varieties of
corn grown in northern Kentucky
can be used almost any place in the
corn belt
1t il a patriotic duty for every
farmer who has Coru suitable for
seed to save 9 generous supply OF
this, not only for his own use, but
for his fellow farmer in other states.
Handle this corn in the best posi-
BILE manner; dry it out thoroughly,
and protect ii from the attacks Of
mice and rats. II has been said time
and again that the United States will
win this war because OF its great
supply OF food. Last year the farm
ers responded hobly 10 the govern
msnt's request Tor large crops and
produced tho largest corn crop in
the history OF the country, although
Handicapped very severely by elimat-
ic conditions and the scarcity OF Ia
Dor. This next year we ought TO
raise even a larger crop Of corn o
and can, provided seed can be sup
piled TO farmers in the districts
where no seed is available this fall
Unless the farmers who have seed
make up their minds TO furnish seed
TO those who have not, ii will be- All
solutely impossible 10 produce the
maximum sized corn crop in the
country next year.

Rotations Reduce Root Ret.

Root rot in cotton hes been re-
duced by rotation OF crops at the Sas
Antonio Experiment Farm near San
Antonio, Tex A publication of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture describiNg experiments at this
farm in 1915 indicates clearly the
value OF rotation in the control OF
this disease in so far as il Affects cot
ton.
on a plat that had been cropped
continuously 10 cotton for eight years,
9G.2 per cent Of the plants had died
from root rot by October as. while
on a plat in d three-year rotation OF
oats, cotton, and dwarf milo. only 2
per cent Of the Pisats died from root
rot. While experiments are TO be
continued and while the present
knowledge Of root rot and its control
is not considered absolute, the re-
suit so far recommends rotation OF
crops and earl, preparation of land
as an effective means of control.

Bradstreet's Review

New York, December 7.--Government acquisitions and expenditures for all sorts of military supplies are at an un- precedented height, transportation routes are under unexampled strain and stress is being laid upon the necessity for cur tailing nonessential industries to- allow of full supplies of fuel and raw materials for war purposes. There is therefore in- creasing evidence of speeding up on the so-called war lines accompanied by the presence of a governmental check rein upon activities in others. Trade in civil ian supplies is still large, but there ap- pears to be concentration upon foods and wearing apparel b an extent not hitherto seen. Further quieting down of ordinary house building and of opera tions in furniture. automobile (pleasure car) and jewelry manufacturing. furs and other products is balanced by in creased buying of steel for munitions.
 shipbuilding and allied lines. Agricul- tural implement men, too, are buying and selling freely enough for an ordinary period, while automobile manufacturers are reported shifting gres [ deal capital to supplying government needs for niuni-
 tions. Weekly bank cleasingss $6. .9SS, ,477, '

Personal Comfort Articles
 Will Be Supplied Soldiers

Montgomery, December 7.-(special.) If any Alabama soldier leaves the borders of America unequipped with articles for his personal comfort and convenience it will be only after the state council of defense and county councils of defense have failed in their dollar campaign, which has been started in many counties and will be carried on in all counties. Governor Henderson has been advised that the county councils are busy and are making plans for their campaigns.
 There are between 200 and 300 articles not furnished by the govern ment or other organizations which would make the soldiers more conn fortable and it is necessary that these articles be obtained from other sources" said Governor Henderson. Many soldiers have the articles as gifts from friends or relatives or have purchased them It is the intention of the state council of defense to use the fund in purchasing the articles for soldiers who have not obtained them already It has the assurance of officers that the articles will go into the hands of soldiers who need them"
 No person will be asked to contrib ute more than s1 to the fund. Cover nor Henderson and the state council of defense desire to have every per son in Alabama represented in the gifts.

BIG TORONTO IRON 1. WORKING PLANT IS
 DESTROYED BY FIRE
Large Freight Boat and Trawler Destroyed-Loss
 Estimated at $25O,OOO to S3OO,OOO

Toronto, Ont, December Fire which originated in the pattern shop of the Poison Iron works on the Toronto water front early last night completely de- stroyed that building and a number of sheds and badly damaged a large freight boat and a trawler. The total damage was estimated at from s25O00O to $500, 900, covere by insurnce. The origin of the fire is a mystery.
 William Newman, manager of the iron works, when asked about the number of aliens employed at the plant and whether they might be responsible, replied:
 q don't know. Remember, we are at war"
 Three large ocean freighters of 3500 to 4000 tons displacement are under con struction at the works, as well as two trawlers. Two of the freighters were '.overboard,' but the other was on the ways and was so badly damaged that its launching will be set back several weeks.
 Men of several nationalities are em- ployed as laborers at the works. It was stated that work of reconstruction would he started at once

THEREAFTER WHILE AT KEY HEARS HIS
 WIFI E IS INJURED
Man Quits and Terrible Story Being Told to World Temporarily Stopped
 as Result

New York, December 6.-At 10 o'clock last night there yas sudden break in the story of the Halifax dis aster coming into the offices of the Associated Press over the wire of tho Canadian Press, the only one in oper- ation into that city since the .explo- siop. Efforts to raise Halifax were in- effectuaI. An hour later it was learned that the operator who had been scnd- ing from the stricken city had left his key when n messenger brought him news that his wife had been dam gerously injured. While sending the story he had expressed the fear that something must have happened to her because she had sent him no word since he went on duty.
 The regular Canadian Press oper- ator at Halifax has been missing since the explosion and his place was taken by a substitute. Sending of other de- tails of the disaster was pcrforce sus- pended until second substitute was found.

With both teams prined for the cOn- test, the defeated aggregation will have no alibi to offer The game was-ar- ranged following a bold challenge by the Fayette combination. The beauty of the affair is the entire proceeds, except bare expenses, will be given to the American Red Cross fund.
 Coach Homer L. Thomas at Central High sent his men through their final workout yesterday afternoon at Nun ger field, and pronounced them on the { edge for the titular strife The Fayette boys, drilled by extra coaches during the past week, will reach Birmingham this morning, backed by strong dele- gation from the county from which they hail.
 CENTRAL IS JUBLANT
 Central followers are jubilant. They are expecting their team, which has not been defeated or scored upon this season, to continue their victorious stride, and wal1op the farmers. They believe Coach Thomas has damned enough pep and power into his light but aggressive eleven to whip any prep team in the state.
 Fsyette followers, on the other hand, have. seen Central perform, and they come to Birmingham expecting their boys to take Centrals scalp back to the wilds. They will admit that Central has a nifty little aggregation, but lacks much of being in the class with their home talent. Coach C,J c. Bush is also filled with enthusiasm and confidence.
 The advance guard of the Fayette delegation reached the city last night. The Fayette crowd, it is understood, come to Birmingham prepared to wager heavily on the game
 CENTRAL OUTWEIGHED
 The two teams will not differ greatly Central will be outweighed, but the speed of the Thomas machine is ex- pected to offset the surplus bulk of the farmers Centrals backfied will aver age slightly over 135 pounds while Fay cites back will top the 143-pound mark. The advantage in the backfield, it can be seen, will greatly favor Fayette. Jackson, Central's heaviest backfield man, weighs only 153 pounds while Jaffe, the lightest weighs 123 pounds
 In the line, the two aggregations will be about evenly matched. Centrars line will reach the 150-pound mark, while Fayettes' will hover about the same One team may have the advantage in the line but it is not large enough to affect the final outcome.
 Centraps strong points in the defense
